…在我看来,很难产生哪怕一丝一毫相似的情感寄托;但我没有孩子,所以我好奇他们辛辛苦苦攒下的零花钱到底都花到哪儿去了?想要类似的情怀之旅,我推荐读读 Terry Pratchett 的《Only You Can Save Mankind》。
…harder to get anywhere near as attached, in my opinion; but I don't have kids, so I wonder what they do spend their hard-earned pocket money on instead? For a similar nostalgia trip I recommend reading Only You Can Save Mankind by Terry Pratchett.
…把电脑开着放三千年,他们得到的奖赏就是屏幕中间出现一个小点,然后弹出一行字:‘欢迎来到半人马座阿尔法星。现在各回各家吧。’” —— Terry Pratchett,《Only You Can Save Mankind》
…computer on for three thousand years, they'd be rewarded by a little dot appearing in the middle of the screen, and then a message saying, 'Welcome to Alpha Centauri. Now go home.' " - Terry Pratchett, Only You Can Save Mankind
“酷就是酷。”我手头没有实体书,Google 也没搜出来,但 Terry Pratchett(好像)在《Only You Can Save Mankind》里聊过这个。背景是几个青少年在讨论说 Yo、Crucial 或者 Well Wicked 都不算酷,但 Cool 永远是酷的。要是有人能找到原话那就太感谢了!
'Cool's cool.' I don't have my hard copy here and Google is failing me but this is addressed by Terry Pratchett in (I think) Only You Can Save Mankind. The context is some teen-agers talking about how it's not cool to say Yo, or Crucial, or Well Wicked, but Cool is always cool. Would appreciate the full quote if somebody can find!
…比如“说明书第 19 页第 23 行的第一个词是什么?”,要是你没答对它就直接重启机器,所以他们显然从没听说过 Wobbler 他爸办公室里的复印机。 ——《Only You Can Save Mankind》,Terry Pratchett,1992 年
…like “What’s the first word on line 23 on page 19 of the manual?" and then reset the machine if you didn’t answer them right, so they’d obviously never heard of Wobbler’s dad’s office’s photocopier. -- Only You Can Save Mankind, Terry Pratchett, 1992
