顺便提一句：我想指出一部极少数以语言学为题材的科幻小说：杰克·万斯（Jack Vance）的《The Languages of Pao》[1]。这部小说显然受到了萨丕尔-沃尔夫假说（Sapir-Whorf）的启发，即语言塑造思想 [0]。顺便说一句：另一个候选是《1984》。虽然这不是核心主旨，但小说里引入了…
Side note: I'd like to point out one of the very few science fiction novels about linguistics: The Languages of Pao by Jack Vance [1]. The novel is clearly inspired by the Sapir-Whorf concept that language shapes thought [0]. BTW: Another candidate would be 1984. Though not the main these, that novel introduces…
杰克·万斯（Jack Vance）的《The Languages Of Pao》是另一部探讨语言对人类学影响（萨丕尔-沃尔夫假说）的经典科幻小说。例如，战士阶层所说的方言会激发…
The Languages Of Pao by Jack Vance is another classic science fiction novel that explores the impact of language on anthropology (the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis). For example, the warrior caste speak a dialect that encourages…
在科幻类别里，我推荐杰克·万斯的《The Languages of Pao》[1]，它灵感源自萨丕尔-沃尔夫假说 [2]。这本书我已经重读了五遍，这意味着它绝对配得上在我书架上占的那块地方。那些只值得看一次的书…
In the Scifi category, I'd recommend "The Languages of Pao" [1] by Jack Vance, which is inspired by the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis [2]. I've re-read it five times now, which means this book deserves the space it occupies in my bookshelf. Books that are only worth…
如果想看以萨丕尔-沃尔夫假说为核心设定的复古 SF，不妨读读杰克·万斯的《The Languages of Pao》。我上次读已经过了挺久，但回忆里全是非常美好的阅读体验。
For a vintage SF treatment with the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis at its center, read The Languages of Pao by Jack Vance. It's been a while since I last read it, but I have fond memories.
“这就是那个老套路了，菲利普·K·迪克（Philip K. Dick）等人也用过”；我总觉得杰克·万斯在这点上被低估了。在大概 1958 年的《Languages of Pao》里，他就把肉体义肢增强作为一条重要副线：“……反重力网被植入脚底，通过从下方伸出的软管连接到小腿部位的处理器……”
"It’s the old trope, echoed by Philip K. Dick for one"; I always felt that Jack Vance got short shrift on this. In the ~1958 "Languages of Pao" he had body augmentation as a major subplot: "... The anti-gravity mesh was laid into the bottom of the feet and connect to the processors in the calves by means of flexible tubes thrust up from…
