Michael Ondaatje 这部荣获 Booker Prize 的小说以摄人心魄的优美与令人不安的才智，追溯了二战末期一处意大利别墅中四个饱受创伤的生命的交集。疲惫不堪的护士 Hana、身负残疾的窃贼 Caravaggio，以及机警戒备的工兵 Kip：每个人都为那位英国病人的谜团所困扰——这位卧于楼上房间、姓名不详的烧伤男子，其关于激情、背叛与救援的记忆如夏夜闪电般照亮了整本书。

翁达杰的《英国病人》写得太棒了。自从《战灯》出版以来我就一直打算找来看看。
The English Patient was a great one by Ondaatje. I've been meaning to pick up Warlight since it came out.
迈克尔·翁达杰的《英国病人》。这是我读过的第一本让我彻底惊叹于作者文笔的书——能用如此优美、深刻的文字，去描写精彩的人物做着迷人的事。在那之前，我也知道一些作家……
Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient. It's the first book I read that left me awestruck with an author's ability to write beautiful, meaningful prose about wonderful characters doing fascinating things. Up until that point I knew some writers…
……重要性而非美感？你这差不多是在搞非黑即白的虚假二分法了。不是那些品质“或”美感，而是那些品质“与”美感兼具。我第一次体会到这点是在读迈克尔·翁达杰的《英国病人》时。我不仅能从情节、角色等常规维度享受这本书……而且还有另一个层次，让我忍不住反复重读那些书页，因为每个章节、段落和句子都感觉构筑得极其完美。……
…consequence than beauty? You are close to setting up a false dichotomy here. It isn’t those qualities or beauty, it’s those qualities and beauty. I first experienced it when I read Michael Ondaatje’s The English Patient. I was able to enjoy the book on the usual axes of plot, character, etc… but there was another level that had me rereading pages because every chapter, paragraph, and sentence felt perfectly constructed.…
迈克尔·翁达杰的《英国病人》。读那本书的时候我发现自己老在反复重读，因为文笔实在太美了。对我来说，没有任何一本书能望其项背。我都不知道文字、句子和段落居然能组合得如此……
Michael Ondaatje’s The English Patient. When I read that book I found myself rereading pages because the prose was so beautiful. No book’s has come close to that for me. I didn’t know you could assembly words and sentences and paragraphs so…
《英国病人》是第一本让我享受文字本身不亚于故事本身的书。读的时候我意识到，哪怕翁达杰用的词我都认识，我也永远不可能把它们组装得……
The English Patient is the first book that ever had me enjoying the prose as much as the story itself. As I was reading it I realized that even though I know all the words Ondaatje is using, I could never assemble them is…
……我放进去的信息量。现在，从编程细节（比如怎么获取 Rust 字符串里的字符数？）到我读过的书里的关键事实（比如在《英国病人》里，那个病人跟谁出轨了？），我什么都会往里加。我每天的复习环节只要花5到10分钟，我唯一的遗憾就是没早点养成这个习惯（特别是在学生时代）。那种感觉简直爽翻了……
…the amount of info that I put into it. Now, I will add anything from programming details (e.g. how do you get the number of characters in a Rust string?) to key facts from the books I read (e.g. in The English Patient, who does the patient have an affair with?). My review sessions only take 5-10 minutes a day, and my only regret is not starting this habit earlier (especially in school). It's incredibly gratifying to…
