作为Sinclair Lewis在1920年代的首部主要小说，Main Street讽刺了美国中西部的社会风尚。这里讲述的是Carol Kennicott的故事，为了被接纳，她必须顺应明尼苏达州Gopher Prairie的生活方式。这部开创性的小说抨击了从众主义、商业主义、拜金主义，以及Lewis所认为的美国自由理想和对个性尊重的衰落。

……写成（20 世纪 30 年代，当时斯堪的纳维亚的大多数人口都住在这样的小镇上）。有些地方带有鲜明的斯堪的纳维亚特色，但在我看来大部分并没有。对比一下辛克莱·刘易斯 1920 年的小说《大街》（Main Street）——一部讽刺美国小镇心态的作品，你就会发现书里讽刺的心态如出一辙。而且在美国至今仍然随处可见；在小镇和农村地区，存在着一种根深蒂固的怀疑……
…written (the 1930s, when most of Scandinavia's population lived in such towns). Some parts are distinctively Scandinavian, but in my opinion most are not. For comparison, read Sinclair Lewis's 1920 novel Main Street, a satire of American small-town mentality, and you'll find a very similar mentality being parodied. And you still find it in the U.S. quite a bit; there's a deep suspicion in smaller town and rural areas…
……真的会让你换个角度思考问题。这里还有几本对我影响很大的书：《现实主义者的民主：为什么选举产生不了负责任的政府》（Democracy for Realists: Why Elections Do Not Produce Responsive Government）、辛克莱·刘易斯的《大街》（Main Street）
…really makes you think about things differently. Here are a couple of other books that have been pretty influential for me: Democracy for Realists: Why Elections Do Not Produce Responsive Government "Main Street" by Sinclair Lewis
……谁在乎小说本身，或者科幻的新奇感呢？在这部带有幽灵般气质的书里，布拉德伯里倾注了他那些漫长空虚的周日、美式的乏味与孤独，就像辛克莱·刘易斯在《大街》（Main Street）中所做的那样。”
…Who cares about the novel, or novelry of science fiction? In this book of ghostly appearance, Bradbury has placed his long empty Sundays, his American tedium, his loneliness, like Sinclair Lewis did on Main Street."
……讨论的那本小说就是以这样一座小镇为背景的）。美国小城镇和农村地区的人也不喜欢大城市里那些有文凭、有钱且“觉得自己高人一等”的人。辛克莱·刘易斯 1920 年描写美国小镇心态的小说《大街》（Main Street）有些隐约的相似之处。我觉得如今的美国依然如此。有些在帕洛阿尔托（Palo Alto）或纽约市被众星捧月的人，在很多“腹地”地区却会遭人冷落……
…the novel in question was set in such a town). People in small-town and rural America don't like big-city, degree-and-money-having people who "think they're better", either. Sinclair Lewis's 1920 novel Main Street, about small-town American attitudes, has some loose parallels. I think the same is true even today in the US. Some of the people who're lionized in Palo Alto or NYC would be shunned in much of the "heartland",…
不，只是社会民主主义而已。“詹代法则”（Law of Jante）讽刺的是 1900 年代左右保守的丹麦小镇（美国对应的例子大概是辛克莱·刘易斯的《大街》），而社会民主主义则恰恰相反，它治理着 1930 至 1980 年代快速城市化的丹麦，并利用不断增长的经济实力打造了一个运转良好、繁荣的……
Nah, just social democracy. The "Law of Jante" is a parody of conservative small-town Denmark of ~1900 (a rough American analogue is Main Street by Sinclair Lewis), while social democracy is roughly the opposite, managing the rapidly urbanizing Denmark of 1930s-1980s and using the increasing economic strength to build a well-working, prosperous…
我总觉得菲茨杰拉德受到的媒体追捧远超与他同时代的德莱塞、约翰·奥哈拉和辛克莱·刘易斯。《盖茨比》跟《嘉莉妹妹》、《美国的悲剧》、《大街》或者《巴比特》相比到底怎么样？
I kind of feel Fitzgerald gets a lot more press than his contemporaries like Dresier, John O' Hara and Sinclair Lewis. How does Gatsby hold up against 'Sister Carrie' or 'An American Trajedy' or 'Main Street' or 'Babbitt'?
