The Red Badge of Courage是美国作家Stephen Crane（1871–1900）创作的战争小说。故事以American Civil War为背景，讲述了Union Army的一名年轻列兵Henry Fleming临阵脱逃的经历。深陷羞愧之中的他渴望负伤——获得一枚“red badge of courage”——来洗刷自己的怯懦。当他的军团再次走上战场面对敌军时，Henry毅然担任起了掌旗官。尽管Crane出生于战后，写作时亦无实战经验，该小说仍以极高的写实性闻名于世。他于18……着手创作这部后来成为其第二部小说的作品。

没错，军方的官方推荐书单里确实有不少虚构类作品。我最近能想到的有《幽灵舰队》（Ghost Fleet）、《星船伞兵》（Starship Troopers）、《安德的游戏》（Ender's Game）、《红色英勇勋章》（Red Badge of Courage）、《孤儿领袖之子》（The Orphan Master's Son）以及《追风筝的人》（The Kite Runner）。最棒的是，因为很多这类书单每年都会更新，所以能源源不断地发掘出好书。都是干货！
Yup, official military reading lists include a fair bit of fiction. Recent ones that I can think of are Ghost Fleet, Starship Troopers, Enders Game, Red Badge of Courage, The Orphan Master's Son, The Kite Runner. The really nice thing is that since many of those lists are refreshed yearly, they are an ongoing fountain of interesting books. Good stuff!
我还想推荐几本儿童读物：《二十四娇娃》（Cheaper by the Dozen）、《不莱梅的音乐家》（The Musicians of Brennan）、《莫里斯的隐形包》（Morris' Disappearing Bag）和《红色英勇勋章》。可能我还会加上几本《草原上的小木屋》系列，尤其是大家差点全冻死的那本。我觉得成年后能否欣赏文学作品，很大程度上取决于……
I would also suggest the childrens books Cheaper by the Dozen, The Musicians of Brennan, Morris' Disappearing Bag and The Red Badge of Courage. I'd maybe throw in some of the little house on the prairie books as well, especially the one where they all almost froze to death. I think being able to appreciate books as an adult is pretty contingent…
……美国这边，我们的银幕英雄打过鬼子和纳粹，后来又打苏共（值得注意的是，在流行文化里压根没人去打南方邦联……）。在现代大众媒体里我没法反驳这一点，但斯蒂芬·克莱恩的书《红色英勇勋章》当年反响极佳。我记得它经常被列为最优秀的美国小说之一。
…the US we had heroes fighting japs and nazis, then commies (notably no one ever fought the confederates in pop culture...). In modern mass media I can't contradict that, but Stephen Crane's book The Red Badge of Courage was very well received. I believe it is often ranked among the best American novels.
……这正是问题的关键。高中毕业后，我过了整整十年才重新翻开虚构类小说，而在当年跟我一起受过这罪的人里，这种情况太普遍了。我对《红色英勇勋章》毫无印象，只记得当时必须强行解读为什么某个场景里的草是绿色的——为了象征新生、希望、重生等等。
…point of it, really. It took me a decade after high school to read a fiction book again, and this is far from uncommon among those who suffered through it alongside me. I don't remember a thing about Red Badge of Courage except I had to extract meaning from why the grass in this particular scene was green - to symbolize new life, hope, rebirth, etc.
我小时候读书量算中规中矩吧，坦白说，我觉得像《基督山伯爵》、《红色英勇勋章》、《远大前程》这类书简直无聊到让人头皮发麻，每次都得硬逼着自己读完。长大成人后，我反而开始看一些自己真正感兴趣的书了（比如非虚构类的）……
I read an average amount as a child and frankly I found books such as "The Count of Monte Cristo", "The Red Badge of Courage", "Great Expectations", etc to be absolutely mind-numbingly boring and would have to force myself to finish them. As a young adult I actually picked up some books I found interesting (i.e. nonfiction)…
……已经传到大众层面了。至少对我来说，这依然是个极其敏感的话题。我上初一（7年级）那会儿，英语老师让我们读《麦克白》、《西北通道》、《最后的莫希干人》、《红色英勇勋章》等名著。我们深入讨论，一遍又一遍地写论文。虽然很累，但我们确实受益匪浅。去年，在我儿子的文学课上（注意：现在已经不叫英语课了……
…has gotten out to the public at large. It's still a hot button issue for me, at least. When I was in 7th grade, my English teacher had us read Macbeth, Northwest Passage, The Last of the Mohicans, The Red Badge of Courage, and other notable works. We discussed them in detail and wrote essays ad nauseum. It was hard, but we were the better for it. Last year, in my son's Literature class (note; it's not English anymore…
