为什么值得读
- 开篇第一句就极具悬念与吸引力
- 剧情推进如疾驰列车般势头越来越强劲
J.R.R. Tolkien 的三卷本史诗 The Lord of the Rings 设定在虚构的 Middle-earth 世界——这里生活着许多奇特生灵，其中最著名的当属 hobbits，一个热爱和平、开朗而害羞的“小矮人”。自 1954 至 1955 年在英国首次出版以来，这部传奇故事便吸引了各个年龄段的读者。它既是经典神话，亦是现代童话。评论家 Michael Straight 盛赞其为“近世文学中极少数的天才之作之一”。Middle-earth 是一个接纳诗人、学者、孩童及所有心怀善意之人的世界。Donald Barr 曾将其描绘为“一部

多么可爱又充满奇思妙想的画作啊。托尔金的作品对我们所有人来说真是一份馈赠。我还记得六年级时随手翻开《双塔奇兵》（The Two Towers），第一句话就彻底把我给迷住了。我六年级老师当时每次给全班念一页《霍比特人》，发现我居然在读 TTT 时震惊坏了。当然，我并没有……
Such lovely, whimsical paintings. Tolkien's work is such a gift to the rest of us. I recall picking up The Two Towers in 6th grade and was totally hooked by the first sentence. My 6th grade teacher had been reading "The Hobbit" to the class a page at a time, and was shocked to discover me reading TTT. Of course, I didn't…
……最喜欢的科幻书，《潘多拉之星》（Pandora's Star）正好处于一大片科幻聚类中心的空白地带。这就解释了为什么我一直找不到类似的书。同样很能说明问题的是，托尔金的《双塔奇兵》正好就在它旁边，因为我也超爱那本书。现在我已经开始下载《潘多拉之星》附近的其他“离群值”了。
…favorite sci-fi book, Pandora's Star is in the middle of a void in the center of a large sci-fi cluster. It explains why I couldn't find anything like it. Also very explanatory the fact the Tolkien's The Two Towers is right by its side, because I also love that book. And now I'm already downloading the other "outliers" close to Pandora's Star.
……违背了它们在故事中存在的意义。它们是魔苟斯邪恶本质的化身。相比之下，对邪恶人类的刻画就很不一样了。在《双塔奇兵》中，佛罗多和山姆遇见法拉米尔后不久，他们发现自己正处于游侠与一队哈拉德人（据说是来自东方的“恶人”）交战的边缘：> 山姆急着想看个究竟，便走过去跟守卫聚在了一起。他手脚并用爬上……
…against the purpose of their existence in the story. They're a manifestation of the evil of Morgoth. In contrast, bad men are handled quite differently. Shortly after Frodo and Sam meet Faramir in The Two Towers they find themselves on the edges of a battle between the Rangers and a company of Haradrim (supposedly "evil" men from the East): > Sam, eager to see more, went now and joined the guards. He scrambled…
……杰克逊也仅仅是勉强把两条主线剧情拼凑在一起。在原著小说里它们不需要什么生硬的联系，但在电影形式下挑战要大得多。或许把《双塔奇兵》拆成两部电影是值得的，这样每条线都能有足够发挥空间。（第二部讲佛罗多和山姆从分道扬镳到逃离西力斯昂哥；阿拉贡和甘道夫与希优顿、萨鲁曼以及迪耐瑟的交锋则作为一部非常……
…Jackson only barely managed to hang the two main plotlines together. They didn't need a connection in the books, but it's much more challenging in a movie format. It might have been worth it to split The Two Towers into two films in order to give each its room. (Frodo and Sam from the Breaking to the escape from Cirith Ungol in Film 2; Aragorn and Gandalf's contests with Theoden, Saruman, and Denethor as a very…
……最初名叫“快步怪”（Trotter），而且还是个穿着木鞋的霍比特人。这种一层层设想叠加、慢慢构建故事的写法，在《双塔奇兵》和《王者归来》的大部分篇幅里其实并不多见。托尔金当时简直就像一列开动后越来越快的火车，势头越来越猛。
…was originally named Trotter, and he was a hobbit that wore wooden shoes. This type of slowly building story, where layer upon layer of idea built on top of each other is not really present for most of Two Towers and Return of the King. It was almost like Tolkien was a train that gained momentum as it went forward.
……受欢迎得多——我个人一直很期待迎接他们的精灵歌声，而且非常反感看到它拙劣地重复《双塔奇兵》里阿拉贡和伊奥梅尔相遇的情节。甘道夫本该和队伍一起离开幽谷。矮人在场时圣白议会不应该开会，原著里甘道夫和凯兰崔尔之间也压根没有任何搞暧昧的暗示。（没用的冷知识，……
…far more welcome - I personally had been looking forward to the Elvish songs they were supposed to be greeted with, and did NOT like seeing a bad repeat of the meeting between Aragorn and Èomer in The Two Towers. Gandalf should leave Rivendell with the party. The white council should not meet while the dwarves are there, nor in the book is there any hint of romance between Gandalf and Galadriel. (Useless trivia,…
