Hacker News 上怎么说

  • ……民主。议会制的一层层架构,部分原因就是为了防范操控。如果你想读一本既有趣读起来又轻松、而且部分探讨了这个话题的书,那我会推荐约翰·F·肯尼迪的《肯尼迪的勇气》(Profiles in Courage)。虽然消费者的决定和政治投票不是一回事,但至少后者不应该像前者那样不动脑子,所以没必要把我的评论理解得那么宽泛。

    …democracy. The layers of parliamentary systems are partly a means of protection against manipulations. If you want to read an interesting and nice to read book that partly talks about this, then I'd recommend Profiles in Courage by John F. Kennedy. Though a consumer decision is not the same as a political vote, at least the latter is not supposed to be similarly thoughtless, so there is no need to interpret my comment that broadly.

  • JFK 的《肯尼迪的勇气》(大概率是枪手代笔的),我经常会重读关于丹尼尔·韦伯斯特和1850年妥协案的那一章。主张妥协与和平竟然需要那么大的勇气,这一点始终让我难以忘怀,而不是……

    Profiles in Courage by JFK (probably ghost written) I go back to the section on Daniel Webster and the compromise of 1850 a lot. It always stuck with me how much courage it took to advocate for compromise and peace rather…

  • JFK 凭《肯尼迪的勇气》获奖,不过十有八九大部分是泰德·索伦森代笔的。

    JFK won for Profiles in Courage, though in all likelihood it was largely ghost-written by Ted Sorensen.

  • 我觉得你还可以加上肯尼迪的《肯尼迪的勇气》以及其他几本(比如休伊·朗的《人人皆是国王》)。在肯尼迪和奥巴马的案例中,这本书都与他们高超的演讲技巧相结合,把候选人介绍给了……

    You could add Kennedy's "Profiles in Courage" and a few others I think (Huey Long and "Every Man a King" for instance). In the case of both Kennedy and Obama the book was used in combination with great oratory skill to introduce the candidate to…

  • ……并不罕见。不仅如此,还有很多著名的例子是某个人挂名了著作却几乎甚至完全没参与撰写:比如约翰·F·肯尼迪被署名为《肯尼迪的勇气》的作者。甚至《肯尼迪的勇气》里的内容出自肯尼迪之手的比例,可能比那些署名费曼的书里出自费曼之手的还要少。

    …unusual. More than that, there are famous examples of books for which someone got the credit for the writing when they actually did little or none of it: John F. Kennedy being credited as the author of Profiles in Courage, for example. Even the content of Profiles in Courage was probably less Kennedy's than the content of the books Feynman gets credited for was Feynman's.
