Terry Pratchett 的碟形世界系列，尤其是：《Mort》和《Reaper Man》；《Guards! Guards!》《Men at Arms》和《The Night Watch》；《Wyrd Sisters》《Witches Abroad》和《Lords and Ladies》；还有《Small Gods》和《Pyramids》。前两本讲的是死神，中间三本讲 Samuel Vimes，第三组讲 Granny Weatherwax，最后两本是独立作品。这些书全都值得……
Terry Pratchett's Discworld books, particularly: "Mort" and "Reaper Man"; "Guards! Guards!", "Men at Arms", and "The Night Watch"; "Wyrd Sisters", "Witches Abroad" and "Lords and Ladies"; and "Small Gods" and "Pyramids". The first two are about Death, the second three about Samuel Vimes, the third group about Granny Weatherwax, and the last two are stand-alones. All the books are worth…
……意义也能像蛇一样扭曲，而如果你想找蛇，就去那些含义已经改变了的词背后找。从来没人说过精灵是善良的。精灵是坏的。”（引自 Terry Pratchett 的《Lords and Ladies》）
…can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning. No one ever said elves are nice. Elves are bad." (Quote from Terry Pratchett's "Lords and Ladies")
得查一下才知道。看起来是出自 Terry Pratchett 的《Lords and Ladies》？
Had to look this up. Looks like it's from Terry Pratchett's "Lords and Ladies"?
“如果猫长得像青蛙，我们就会意识到它们是些多么讨厌、残忍的小混蛋。风格。人们记住的就是这个。”——Terry Pratchett，《Lords and Ladies》
"If cats looked like frogs we'd realize what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That's what people remember." ― Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies
……得解决复杂问题，但首先里面的人得承认问题确实存在，而不是假装一切都好。被“魅惑”（就像 Terry Pratchett 书里《Lords and Ladies》的迷惑术那样）的风险是真实存在的。你要么在叙事之外的地方（飞越州、非洲大陆）适应下来，要么动用你的想象力。否则你就……
…has to fix complex problems, but first the people in it have to recognize problems are actually real instead of pretending everything's great. The risk of being 'glamoured' (like the bewitching of the Lords and Ladies in Terry Pratchett's books) is real. You have to either acclimate in places that that live outside of the narrative (the flyover states, the continent of Africa), or use your imagination. Otherwise you…
啊对，这确实是 Terry Pratchett 在《Lords and Ladies》里关于精灵的那段话 > 精灵是奇妙的。它们引发惊奇。精灵是绝妙的。它们制造奇迹。精灵是梦幻的。它们创造幻象。精灵是迷人的。它们投射魅力。精灵是令人着迷的。它们……
Ah yes, this is indeed the subject of a Terry Pratchett bit about elves in "Lords and Ladies" > Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder. Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels. Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies. Elves are glamorous. They project glamour. Elves are enchanting. They…
