科幻小说——副标题为“The Life and Loves of Maureen Johnson (Being the Memoirs of a Somewhat Irregular Lady)”。Maureen Johnson 是 Woodrow Wilson Smith/Lazarus Long/Theodore Bronson 的母亲。这本回忆录记录了私生活活跃的 Maureen 从 19 世纪 80 年代的童年时光，到 100 年后获救，再到恢复青春并作为一名时间旅行者活跃的传奇经历。

……少年），那本书简直让我大开眼界。之后我读的每一本海因莱因（Heinlein），都在不断塑造如今的我：《严厉的月亮》（The Moon is a Harsh Mistress）、《异乡异客》（Stranger in a Strange Land，两个版本都读了）、《驶向日落》（To Sail Beyond the Sunset）等等。我几乎无法用言语形容海因莱因的作品对我个人三观的塑造有多深，无论别人如何挑剔他作品中的缺陷。
…boy), that book was revelatory. Every Heinlein I've read after that has just gone on and contributed to who I am as person today: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Stranger in a Strange Land (both editions), To Sail Beyond the Sunset, et al. It's almost literally impossible for me to overstate how much Heinlein's works has shaped who I am as a person, regardless of whatever flaws others might ascribe to his work.
……然后当然就轮到了《驶向日落》。海因莱因无论是在早年清醒期还是晚年癫狂期，都是个彻头彻尾的天才讲故事高手。
...and then of course you end up with To Sail Beyond The Sunset. Heinlein, both during his early sane and latter mad years, was an utter genius story-teller.
……对我影响深远，就像他的短篇小说，或者《星期五》（Friday，比《神经漫游者》早了两年玩赛博朋克，而且写得更好）、《约伯》（Job）这样的晚期长篇，亦或是（尽管有些古怪的）《穿墙猫》（The Cat Who Walks Through Walls）/《驶向日落》。不过我坚决认为，看《异乡异客》只会让人产生强烈的尴尬癌。
…me as much as his short stories, or his late novels like Friday (which did cyberpunk two years earlier and better than Neuromancer did), Job, or (as weird as they are) The Cat Who Walks Through Walls/To Sail Beyond the Sunset. I very much think, however, that Stranger in a Strange Land can only be read with vicarious embarrassment.
我觉得他对裸体的看法反而是最不冒犯人的了。比如……《驶向日落》在很多方面都写得极其怪异又尴尬，但与此同时，这却是一本我反复重读了许多遍的书。他确实赋权了许多年轻的女性读者……但与此同时，又存在着……
I think his views on nudity would have been the least offensive. Example..To Sail Beyond The Sunset was really weird and awkward in so many ways but at the same time, it is a book that I have read and re read many times. He certainly empowered many young female readers..but at the same time, there was…
……稍微有点跑题，但我一直对“TANSTAAFL”（天下没有免费的午餐）原则持怀疑态度。也许是读了海因莱因的一些书让我对它反感了 :P。（他通常是个很棒的作家，但要么是我没看懂《驶向日落》，这很有可能；要么就是那本书确实不怎么样，虽然可能性不大但也说得通。）基本上，这里的假设是当前的平衡态是最优或接近最优的。问题是这往往……
…slightly off-topic, but I've always been suspicious of the "TANSTAAFL" principle. Maybe reading some books by Heinlein soured me on it :P. (He's normally a great writer, but either I didn't understand To Sail Beyond the Sunset, which is likely, or it wasn't any good, which is unlikely but possible.) Basically, the assumption there is that the current equilibrium is optimal or close to optimal. The problem is that this is often…
海因莱因在他最后一部长篇小说（《驶向日落》）中提出，家里装了电话反而毁掉了医生的出诊，因为稍微有点头疼脑热就太容易联系上医生了。所以如果发现更方便的……也不足为奇。
Heinlein suggested in his last novel (To Sail Beyond the Sunset) that telephones in the home killed house-calls by doctors, it became too easy to contact the doctor for any little thing that was bothering you. So it would not be surprising to find even easier and…
