与当今时事息息相关。这是 Heinlein 的科幻小说、其他故事及文章的选集，收录了自他 1939 年发表首篇科幻小说起直至 20 世纪 70 年代的作品。其中绝大多数此前曾公开发表。在这部出版于 1980 年的文集中，Heinlein 为每篇小说和文章都撰写了前言，结合个人境况、思想，以及科学技术、二战以及灾难性战争武器研发与使用的宏观背景来交代时代脉络。其贯穿始终的主题聚焦于科学、技术与战争，以及我们如何

我真不记得那篇具体的作品叫什么了，但我确实记得它收录在他的文集《Expanded Universe》里，而且他描述的显然就是“奇点（Singularity）”，当然当时还没用这个词——里面甚至还有一张图表和曲线，专门给那些还不熟悉指数级增长概念的读者看！我……
I honestly don't recall the name of the specific piece, but I do remember that it's anthologized in his collection Expanded Universe, and it was clearly the "Singularity" he described, although of course not by that name - there's even a chart and a curve for those readers not yet familiar with the concept of exponential growth! I…
是的。极权政权很早就开始用那些手段了。在文集《Expanded Universe》中，海因莱因详细描写了他和会说俄语的妻子去苏联的旅行，出于某种神秘原因，他们压根没把妻子懂俄语的事告诉苏联人。朝鲜在结构上可能并不……
Yes. Totalitarian regimes have been using those for a long time. In the anthology "Expanded Universe", Heinlein has an extended description of his trip to the USSR with his wife who could speak Russian, which they for some mysterious reason neglected to tell the Russians. North Korea may not be structurally…
正如海因莱因在《Expanded Universe》中指出的那样，这种态度是具有自我纠正机制的。事实上，随着那些选择生（更多）孩子的亚文化群体取代不生孩子的群体，你可以预见美国会继续向右转。
As Heinlein noted in Expanded Universe, this attitude is self-correcting. In fact, you might expect the US to continue moving right as those sub-culture that choose to have (more) children displace the ones that don't.
而在追求精准时，这一点甚至更重要——当一个不那么常用的词比流行词更能准确表达你的意思时。这是 Robert Heinlein 在《Expanded Universe》中为 Doc Smith 的“太空歌剧”及其所用词汇辩护时提出的一个观点。（请注意，既然“地图不等于疆域”，没有任何东西，无论是你的想法还是物理描述，……
And it is even more important for precision, when a less common word is closer to what you want to say than a more popular one. This is one point Robert Heinlein made in Expanded Universe when he was defending Doc Smith's "space operas" and the vocabulary that was used in them. (Note that since "the map is not the territory", nothing, not your thoughts or even a physical description,…
我觉得这已经是公认的事实了，比如海因莱因在他 1980 年的《Expanded Universe》里写到过同样的概念（也可能是来自更早版本的文本），他说据他亲眼所见的情况，《时代》周刊（我记得是这本）从来就没报对过。问题在于，这根本就不是……
I think it's pretty well established, for example, Heinlein writes about the same concept in his 1980 Expanded Universe (and it might have been from the text in an earlier version), saying the news magazine Time, I think it was, had never gotten it right in the situations he had eye-witnessed. Thing is, it's just not…
