……那个设定的历史,不过《螺丝在拧紧》(The Turn of the Screw)出名可能更多是因为它的新颖,而不是它本身写得有多好。但我还是一直在读他的书,而且超爱《华盛顿广场》(Washington Square)。讨厌《黛西·米勒》(Daisy Miller)。《阿斯彭文稿》(The Aspern Papers)挺有意思,虽然说不上特别好。我之前开始读《说谎者》(The Liar),感觉很有潜力,但在我读完之前我有个孩子把书给毁了,我到现在都还没回坑。太长不看(TL;DR)……
…the history of that conceit, but possibly The Turn of the Screw is famous more for its novelty than for being particularly good per se. I kept reading him, though, and loved Washington Square. Hated Daisy Miller. The Aspern Papers was fun if not really very good. I'd started reading The Liar and it was very promising, but one of my kids ruined my copy before I finished and I haven't gone back to it yet. TL;DR…
我读过《黛西·米勒》和《贵妇画像》(Portrait of a Lady),要我说这两本书简直如出一辙。《画像》的结局让人很不痛快,而且作者就是故意这么写的。她到底回没回到奥斯蒙德身边?不过就像《银翼杀手》(Blade Runner)一样,它有两个版本:一个结局是……
I read Daisy Miller and Portrait of a Lady, kind've the same book if you ask me. The ending of Portrait is unsatisfying and meant to be. Does she go back to Osmond? But like Blade Runner, there are two edits: One ends with…
……可能最好先从这类较短的中篇性质作品、以及他的短篇小说(有很多)开始看,然后再慢慢过渡到长篇小说(也有一大堆)。千万别从《黛西·米勒》开始入坑。它算是他最出名、流传最广的作品之一,但听劝,真别碰它。
…Probably better to approach shorter novella-ish works like that, and his actual short stories (there are lots) first, and work your way up to the novels (there are also lots of those). Do not start with Daisy Miller. It's among his most famous and widely-read, but just don't.
