透过六名普通公民的生活，提供了一个审视朝鲜的非凡视角。Nothing to Envy 记录了六名朝鲜人在十五年间的生活轨迹——那是一段动荡混乱的时期，见证了金日成的逝世、其子金正日无可撼动的掌权崛起，以及一场夺走五分之一人口生命的毁灭性大饥荒。屡获殊荣的记者 Barbara Demick 带领我们走进大多数人未曾见过的图景，生动展现了生活在当今最严酷的极权体制之下的真实模样——一个主动选择与外界切断联系的奥威尔式世界……

如果你想了解朝鲜，去读读芭芭拉·德米克的《无可羡慕》（Nothing to Envy）。里面全是对脱北者的采访。
If you want to learn about NK read "Nothing to Envy" by Barbara Demick. Interviews with refugees.
……把它简单归结为“受教育是好事”，通常不会出什么大错。但一旦翻车，后果可能是极其可怕的。要是说谁只是“不认同”朝鲜，那可真是太轻描淡写了。去读读《无可羡慕：朝鲜普通人的生活》[2]吧。里面的故事会让你无比庆幸自己无论生活在哪个国家都好。对许多人来说，朝鲜真的是人间炼狱。这比奥威尔笔下的任何场景都要糟糕得多……
…Simplifying it to, "Education is good." won't steer you wrong often. But when it does, the consequences can be horrific. And to say one doesn't agree with the DPRK is putting it far too mildly. Read Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea.[2] The stories will make you thankful to be in whatever country you live in. For many people, North Korea truly is hell on earth. It's far worse than anything Orwell wrote…
……盖·德利斯勒写的《平壤》[1]，这是一本图像小说，详细记录了他在朝鲜工作的几个月；而要想更严肃地探究，了解那些真正生活在/曾在朝鲜生活过的人的人生，那就是芭芭拉·德米克的《无可羡慕》[2]了，描写极为细致，甚至有些令人心惊肉跳。[1] http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pyongyang-A-Journey-North-Korea/dp/0... [2] http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nothing-Envy-Lives-North-Korea/dp/18...
…North Korea' by Guy Delisle[1] which is a graphic novel detailing his few months working in North Korea for a more serious look and into the lives of those who actually live/have lived in North Korea is 'Nothing to Envy' by Barbara Demick[2] which is a detailed, if not somewhat harrowing insight.

……生活在那里的普通人，他们要么深知情况有多糟（却无能为力），要么对此一无所知（所以也无所谓）。从某种角度来说，后一种人可能还更好过些。（推荐一本好书：芭芭拉·德米克的《无可羡慕》，讲述了朝鲜的生活以及逃往西方是种什么体验。）看到朝鲜为了把自己的国民蒙在鼓里、为了强行装点门面而使出的手段，简直令人匪夷所思……
…people who live there, who either know how bad things are (and can't do anything about it) or don't know (and thus don't care). In some ways, the latter group is probably better off. (A great book: Nothing to Envy, by Barbara Demick, about life in North Korea and what it's like to escape to the West.) It's amazing to see what North Korea will do to keep its own citizens in the dark, and to try to make things look…
……最高司令官的宣传机器在我们看来显得很土很可笑。但必须记住的是，朝鲜是一个残暴的政权，数十年来发生了无数的人权惨剧。这是一个非常令人悲伤的故事。如果你想对自己出生的地方感到由衷的庆幸，就去读读芭芭拉·德米克的《无可羡慕：朝鲜普通人的生活》吧。
…Marshall's propaganda machine seems corny to us. But it's important to remember that DPRK is a brutal regime that is home to countless human rights tragedies over several decades. It is a very sad story. Read "Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea" by Barbara Demick if you want to feel really lucky about where you happened to be born.
我强烈推荐阅读芭芭拉·德米克写的《无可羡慕》（Nothing To Envy），讲的是六个逃离朝鲜的人的故事。这是一本非常有趣但又很令人唏嘘的书，她几年前在 Reddit 上做的 AMA 问答也同样精彩。要是能看到那些……
I highly recommend reading Nothing To Envy by Barbara Dendrick, which is about six people who escaped from North Korea. It was a very interesting, though sad, book, as was the AMA she did on Reddit a few years ago. It would be great to see those…
