为什么值得读
- 借城市之词反思个体归属与精神认同
- 引发关于中年外在包袱与创作表达的思考
这部文笔优美、饱含深情的回忆录触动了读者与评论家的心弦。Elizabeth Gilbert讲述了自己如何做出艰难抉择，毅然抛下现代美国式成功的一切光鲜外表（婚姻、乡间别墅、事业），去追寻生命中真正渴望的事物。Gilbert启程用一年的时间，在三种不同的文化中探索自我的三个不同面向：在意大利探索享乐的艺术，在印度探求虔诚的艺术，继而在印度尼西亚的巴厘岛寻找二者之间的平衡。时而狂喜，时而悔悟，这本睿智而

我刚读完伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特（就是写《Eat, Pray, Love》出名的那位）写的《Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear》，她提出了一个很有意思的相关观点，我大概转述一下：中年时我们总是在意社会地位和外在形象，这会阻碍创造力的发挥。等我们年纪再大一些，才意识到……
I just finished reading “Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear” by Elizabeth Gilbert (of Eat, Pray, Love fame) and she brought up a related and interesting idea I can paraphrase: In midlife we’re concerned with status and our outward appearance, which can hinder creative output. Then we get older and realize…
说得太到位了。伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特在 TED 上针对这些话题做过一次非常棒的演讲：http://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_on_genius.html（提醒：视频会自动播放）。如果《Eat, Pray, Love》不是你的菜（反正是绝对不对我的胃口），也别因为她是作者就被劝退。她对创作过程的剖析非常深刻——甚至还探讨了创作者群体的抑郁和自杀问题。非常值得一看……
Excellent points. Elizabeth Gilbert gave a great talk at TED on these topics: http://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_on_genius.html (warning: auto-play video) Don't be put off that she's the "Eat Pray Love" author if that's not your style (it's definitely not mine). She speaks very well to the creation process - and even touches on topics like depression and suicide among creators. It's well worth the watch.…
……相同的想法。无论那个大多数人的想法是什么——那个词就是这座城市的底色。如果你的个人特质与这座城市的底色不符，那你就不算真正属于这里。”——《Eat Pray Love》，伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特。
…the same thoughts. What ever that majority thought might be- that word is the word of the city. And if your personal word does not match the word of the city, then you don't really belong there." - _Eat Pray Love_, Elizabeth Gilbert.
慈善机构 Turning the Page 在华盛顿特区开办了 Carpe Librum 快闪二手书店。几年前市中心开了一家，我走进去一看，打折书架上摆了足足 30 多本（我数了）《Eat, Pray, Love》。
The charity Turning the Page runs Carpe Librum pop-up used bookstores in Washington, DC. When one opened downtown some years ago, I walked in and saw 30+ (I counted) copies of Eat, Pray, Love on the discount shelves.
……归根结底，在思想层面没法让我满意。不过，世上还是有一些能触及灵魂、探讨人类生存境遇的好书。那种无法简单用好与坏来界定的境遇。在那些书里，《Eat, Pray, Love》可不会以大团圆收场。
…Ultimately, intellectually unsatisfying to me. However, there are books out there, soul-wrenching books that explore the human condition. The condition that cannot be defined in simple terms of good, bad. Where Eat, Pray, Love doesn't end happily.
那是我看过的最好的 TED 演讲之一，我刷过很多遍了。当时我读了她的书《Eat Pray Love》，在 Google 上搜她时偶然看到了那个 TED 视频。要是读到这条评论的人还没看过那个视频，强烈建议去看一下。
That is one of the best TED talks I've ever watched, and I've seen it many times. I read her book, "Eat Pray Love" and googled her, when I came across the TED video. If anyone reading this hasn't watched the video yet, please do.
