前作：[Life, the Universe and Everything][1] So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish 是 Douglas Adams 所著 Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy “三部曲”中的第四部作品。其书名取自海豚在地球为给超空间旁道让路而被摧毁前夕离开地球时留下的讯息，正如 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 中所描述的那样。续作：[Mostly Harmless][3]

……它。我读到书页都翻烂了。他关于上帝不存在的证明大概是我人生中第一个莫比乌斯环（Mobius loop），至少在我在图书馆发现侯世达（Hofstadter）之前是这样。少年时期的我意外被《再见，谢谢所有的鱼》迷得神魂颠倒，甚至有点幻想着有朝一日能遇到像芬奇奇（Fenchurch）那样的人。所以，我想这算是我死宅历史（nerd history）的一部分吧——虽然已经很久没想起来过了。谢谢您，亚当斯先生。
…it. I read it until it fell apart. His proof of the non-existence of god was probably my first Mobius loop, at least until I discovered Hofstadter in the library. Teenage me was unexpectedly charmed by So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish and was perhaps a little hopeful of meeting someone like Fenchurch one day. So, a part of my nerd hustory I guess - albeit not something I've thought about for a while. Thank you Mr Adams.
……尤其是，在可能的情况下，那些更加腐败的，这个。上面这句话说得通。那并不是问题所在。这才是：变化。再读一遍你就明白了。”——道格拉斯·亚当斯，《再见，谢谢所有的鱼》。任何信息库最终都会面临这样一个问题：无论出于内在还是外在原因，它所描述的现象已经不再是当初的模样了。
…and especially, where possible, the more corrupt ones, this. The previous sentence makes sense. That is not the problem. This is: Change. Read it through again and you'll get it.” -- Douglas Adams, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish Any information repository eventually comes to face the problem that the phenomena it is describing is no longer the same, for intrinsic or extrinsic reasons.
……一个昏头到连一包牙签里都得塞进一套详细使用说明的文明，已经不再是一个我能安然生活并保持神智正常的文明了。”——道格拉斯·亚当斯，《再见，谢谢所有的鱼》，Pan Books (1984)
…that had so far lost its head as to need to include a set of detailed instructions for use in a packet of toothpicks, was no longer a civilization in which I could live and stay sane." — Douglas Adams, So Long and Thanks for All The Fish, Pan Books (1984)
我明显觉得这个系列在《生命、宇宙以及一切》之后水平断崖式下跌。《再见，谢谢所有的鱼》有点东拉西扯，而《基本无害》纯粹就是压抑，作为全系列结局烂透了。所以我的个人建议是看到第三本就收手。
I definitely felt like the series dropped off hard after Life, The Universe, And Everything. So Long And Thanks For All The Fish was kind of meandering, and Mostly Harmless was just plain depressing and a terrible ending for the series. So my personal advice would be to stop after the third book.
……我们搞代议制民主。但当然，这本身也有问题，因为需要理解的东西从“议题本身”转移到了“候选人”。不知怎的，这让我想起了道格拉斯·亚当斯在《再见，谢谢所有的鱼》里的这个片段（节选）：“他们都有投票权，所以他们基本都想当然地认为，自己选出来的政府多多少少能代表自己想要的政府。”“你是说他们居然真的……
…we do representative democracy. But of course, that has its own issues, as what to understand moves from "the issues" to "the candidates". Somehow, this reminded me of this bit by Douglas Adams From "So Long and Thanks for all the Fish" (in part): "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want." "You mean they actually…
……做过的无非就是在水里扑腾玩乐度日。但相反，海豚却一直认为自己比人类聪明得多——原因恰恰也是一模一样的。”道格拉斯·亚当斯，《再见，谢谢所有的鱼》。
…ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But, conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons." Douglas Adams, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish.
