轻松、幽默又过瘾 === 特里·普拉切特（Terry Pratchett）。如果你专门想找科幻类，看看《Strata》和《The Dark Side of the Sun》。但如果你还没读过“碟形世界”（Discworld）系列，那我简直太羡慕你了！哪怕付出任何代价，我都想重新体会一次初读普拉切特时那种纯粹的狂喜。上面已经提过的：……
Fun, light-hearted and enjoyable === Terry Pratchett. Strata and the Dark Side of the Sun if you’re looking specifically for Sci-fi. But if you haven’t read the Diskworld series, I envy you! I’d give anything to re-live the sheer ecstasy of reading Pratchett for the first time. Already mentioned:…
……远胜过《Raising Steam》里的几乎任何桥段。我对“碟形世界”系列的前身《Strata》记忆犹新，在我看来它比它戏仿的原作《环形世界》（Ringworld）还要棒。同样我也很喜欢《The Dark Side of the Sun》，它戏仿了“已知空间”（Known Space）的另一个主题（尽管我没印象那个主题后来有沿用到碟形世界里）。《好兆头》（Good Omens）也是另一部精彩绝伦的合作之作，由特里·普拉切特……
…than did almost any part of Raising Steam. I have fond memories of the ascendant of the Discworld series, Strata, which is IMO better than the book it’s riffing on (Ringworld). Likewise I enjoyed The Dark Side of the Sun, which riffs off a different theme from Known Space (though I don’t recall any of that theme ending as a theme in Discworld). Good Omens was also another fantastic collaboration, between Terry Pratchett…
……一些我个人的心头好，可能还没出现在大家的书单上：斯坦尼斯瓦夫·莱姆的《惨败》（Fiasco） 阿迈勒·埃尔-莫塔尔与马克斯·格拉德斯通的《This Is How You Lose the Time War》 伊恩·M·班克斯的《Feersum Endjinn》 特里·普拉切特的《The Dark Side of the Sun》（没错，就是那本） 彼得·沃茨的《盲视》（Blindsight） 威尔·麦卡锡的《Bloom》 祝阅读愉快！
…personal favourites that might not already be on everyone else's lists: Fiasco - Stanisław Lem This is how you lose the time war - Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone Feersum Endjinn - Iain Banks The Dark Side of the Sun - Terry Pratchett (yes, that one) Blindsight - Peter Watts Bloom - Wil McCarthy Good luck!
……我读过的书里有一本带着一种古怪的“仙女尘”式永生疗法，跟书里其他科技水平显得格格不入。伊恩·M·班克斯的《Matter》。读完《Algebraist》之后重回“文明”（Culture）系列。依然很棒。特里·普拉切特的《The Dark Side of the Sun》。终于腾出时间把这本读了。出乎意料地新颖。如果普拉切特在大概30年前写完这本和《Strata》之后能多写点科幻小说，倒挺有意思的。……
…book I've read that has a weird pixie dust immortality treatment that seems incongruous with the rest of the technology level. Matter by Iain M. Banks. Culture again after Algebraist. Still good. The Dark Side of the Sun by Terry Pratchett. Finally got around to reading this one. Was surprisingly fresh. It would have been interesting to see Pratchett write more science fiction after this and Strata around 30 years ago.…
嗯，如果你想要单本完结加科幻，可以试试《The Dark Side of the Sun》。不然的话，你可以从“碟形世界”任何一个故事线的首本切入。就我个人而言，我会首推《女巫姐妹》（Wyrd Sisters，女巫线）和城市卫队（City Watch）的故事线。虽然该故事线的第一本……
Well, if you want stand-alone + sci-fi, try "the Dark Side of the Sun". Otherwise, you can pick up any first book from one of the Discworld story arks. Personally, I'd go with "Wyrd Sisters" (witches story ark) and the City Watch story ark. Although the first book in…

确实。举个例子，重要的是他们别去读大卫·布林的“提升”（Uplift）系列，或者特里·普拉切特那本精彩的《The Dark Side of the Sun》。
Indeed. As an example, it's important they don't read David Brin's Uplift series, or Terry Pratchett's excellent The Dark Side of the Sun.
