…individual. I feel sorry for her more than any sort of ire. She cherry-picked right past Cordelia Naismith (later Vorkosigan) and her mother, both from "Beta Colony" where genders swap like day and night ("Shards of Honor," Vorkosigan Saga, Book One). You won't find any simpering females in any of Lois McMaster Bujold's novels unless they are a plot device there to serve as a victim and you won't run into gender discrimination…
算不上被彻底遗忘,但也确实没那么火。Lois McMaster Bujold 的科幻系列《Vorkosigan Saga》是我读过的最棒的小说之一。前两部《Shards of Honor》和《Barrayar》,将未来科技、社会结构和人性完美地融为一体。主角 Cordelia 面对着足以让我们大多数人屈服崩溃的各种境遇,却凭借坚韧的毅力……
Not forgotten, but not well known either, Lois McMaster Bujold's science fiction series, the Vorkosigan Saga is one of the best reads I ever found. The first couple of books, Shards of Honor and Barrayar, are a superb mixture of futuristic technology, society, and humanity. The protagonist, Cordelia deals with a number of situations that would bring the best of us to our knees, with strength…
……小说,但它做了大量的世界观铺垫,并介绍了一些后来贯穿全书的核心配角。(这是一部合集,把最初分开出版的《Shards of Honor》、《Aftermath》和《Barrayar》合并在了一起。)2. 《The Warrior's Apprentice》:系列其余部分主角正式登场的第一本书,不过如果你看重世界观设定、背景故事以及……
…novels, but it does a lot of world-building and introduces some important characters who will be pervasive supporting cast later.

……或者任何可以用来开脱的救赎情感,唯有对某种虚构未来的彻骨恐惧。可他们企图在未来防患于未然的罪行是虚构的。而他们在当下犯下的罪行——却是实实在在的。”——Lois McMaster Bujold《Shards of Honor》
…or any redeeming emotion to excuse them but cold fear of some pretended future. But the crimes they hope to prevent in that future are imaginary. The ones they commit in the present–they are real." -- Shards of Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold
……审讯。“难道‘没有通讯终端’就是你能想象出的最底层生活水平了?”他惊讶地问。>“这是宪法的第一条:‘获取信息的权利不得被剥夺。’”——Lois McMaster Bujold《Shards of Honor》(1986)。在小说出版以来的这 39 年里,我本希望我们现实社会能朝着那个方向多迈进一些的。
…interrogation. "Is not owning a comconsole the lowest standard of living you can imagine?" he said in wonder. > "It's the first article in the constitution.

" -- Shards of Honor (1986) by Lois McMaster Bujold In the 39 years since this was published, I would have hoped our real society would have advanced a bit more in that direction.
……个体。比起愤怒,我更多是替她感到可怜。她挑三拣四,却偏偏跳过了 Cordelia Naismith(后来的 Vorkosigan)和她的母亲,两人都来自性别观念瞬息万变的“贝塔殖民地”(见《Shards of Honor》,《Vorkosigan Saga》第一部)。在 Lois McMaster Bujold 的任何小说里,你都见不到娇滴滴卖蠢的女性角色,除非那是作为受害者推进情节的工具人,而且你也不会碰上性别歧视……
