Lister 喝起酒来向来不省人事。在伦敦按 Monopoly 棋盘路线巡回泡吧庆祝完生日后，他在土星的一颗卫星上的汉堡店里醒来，头上戴着一顶粉色女式卷毛帽，脚上穿着一双黄色捕鱼涉水裤，身上分文皆无，护照上的名字赫然写着“Emily Berkenstein”。加入 Space Corps 似乎是个好主意。老掉牙的太空飞船 Red Dwarf 本该开往地球，却未能抵达，留下了 Lister 成为人类唯一的幸存者，孤悬在距离地球三百万光年的深空，身边只有一具死尸、一台老态龙钟的电脑和一只高度进化的猫

有本书叫《不称职》（Incompetence），由凭借《红矮星号》（Red Dwarf）成名的罗伯·格兰特（Rob Grant）所著。设定在不久的未来，在那里不仅针对种族、年龄、性别进行歧视是违法的……歧视能力高低也是违法的。强烈推荐一读，既能图个乐，也能为必然到来的未来做做准备。
There is a book called Incompetence, by Rob Grant of Red Dwarf fame, set slightly in the future where it is now illegal to discriminate on race, age, gender... or competence. Highly recommended reading, both as entertainment and as preparation for the inevitable.
我十几岁的时候是《红矮星号》（Red Dwarf）电视剧（和书）的狂热粉丝。故事里有一段描写了角色之一里默（Rimmer）备考的情景。他花了巨量时间去制定复习时间表，一遍又一遍地迭代优化，以至于他……
When I was a teenager, I was a big fan of the show (and books), Red Dwarf. One part of the story describes one of the characters, Rimmer, preparing for an exam. He spends so much time preparing his revision timetable and improving it iteratively, over and over again, that he…
是的，前两部小说署名是他们的“格兰特·奈勒”（Grant Naylor）合作笔名，而且两部都很棒。之后，他们各自独立写了一部《红矮星号》（Red Dwarf）小说。我个人从没碰到过后面这两部，不过每次逛二手书店我都会特意找找。可能它们只在英国发行过吧。……
Yeah the first two novels were credited to their "Grant Naylor" partnership, and they're both excellent. After that, they each wrote an additional Red Dwarf novel individually / separately. Personally I've never come across those last two novels, although I always check for them whenever visiting a used book store. Maybe they were only released in the UK.…
……丧失了深度。就像第 2 季过渡到第 3 季时动作戏多了很多，第 6 到第 7 季开始更加依赖老套路等等（个人拙见）。另外值得一提的是：格兰特和奈勒写的一系列《红矮星号》（Red Dwarf）小说出人意料地棒。他们真正丰富了李斯特（Lister）和里默（Rimmer）背后的大量人物性格。其中一部小说还深入探讨了“Better than Life”的概念，而这在剧里不过是一集就弃用的设定……
…depth was lost. Like how the transition from series 2 to series 3 got a lot more action-y, 6 to 7 started to lean more on established tropes etc (IMO). Also of note: Grant and Naylor wrote a series of Red Dwarf novels that were surprisingly good. They really fleshed out a lot of the character behind Lister and Rimmer. One novel goes deep on the concept of Better than Life, a one episode throwaway in the show…
> 在格兰特·奈勒所著的《红矮星号》（Red Dwarf，1988年至今）衍生小说《红矮星号：无限欢迎谨慎驾驶者》（Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers，1989年）中，恒星被蓄意引爆，形成超新星阵列，在地球的天空中拼出了一则可口可乐的广告。……
> In the Red Dwarf (1988-current) spinoff novel Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers (1989) by Grant Naylor, stars are deliberately detonated to create a pattern of supernovae spelling out a Coke ad in Earth's sky.…
这让我想起了罗伯·格兰特和道格·奈勒在《红矮星号：无限欢迎谨慎驾驶者》（Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers）中描写残酷的“可乐战争”的一个片段……对生活在地球上的任何人来说，其结果都将是震撼到令人大脑宕机的壮观。一百二十八颗恒星似乎同时爆发为超新星，燃烧着……
This reminds me of a passage about the brutal Cola Wars from Rob Grant and Doug Naylor's "Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers"… For anyone living on Earth the result would be mindfizzlingly spectacular. One hundred and twenty-eight stars would appear to go supernova simultaneously, burning…
