[Kim Stanley Robinson 在 The Guardian 网站上的评论][1]：Ursula K. Le Guin 所著的 The Left Hand of Darkness（1969年）。我最喜爱的小说之一就是 Ursula K. Le Guin 的 The Left Hand of Darkness。四十多年来，我一直向那些想初次尝试科幻小说的人推荐这本书，至今它依然极为胜任。我喜欢它的原因之一，在于它极其清晰地证明了科幻小说不仅能具备普通小说的优点与阅读快感，还能拥有思想实验那种令人震撼且颠覆认知的力量。在这一情境……

……而且，你懂的：并不是。这种愤怒看起来确实是有选择性的。我的意思是，关于性别题材的科幻文学奠基之作之一——而且在女性主义读者中极受欢迎的书——就是厄休拉·K·勒古恩（Ursula K. LeGuin）的《黑暗的左手》（The Left Hand of Darkness）。但我从没听过有人抱怨说，她自己没有黑人生活经历却写了个黑人主角。不过从另一方面看，《黑暗的左手》其实没怎么讲……
…and, y'know: No. The outrage does seem selective. I mean, one of the seminal classics of science-fiction literature on the subject of gender - and a very popular book among feminist readers - is The Left Hand of Darkness, by Ursula K. LeGuin. And I've never heard anyone complain that she wrote a black protagonist, despite not having black experiences. But on the other hand, The Left Hand of Darkness isn't much about…
看着我自己的那些试金石般的好书出现在别人的书单里，挺有意思的。这里有一些我还没看到的：厄休拉·K·勒古恩的《黑暗的左手》（The Left Hand of Darkness）。我最喜欢的勒古恩作品（《一无所有》The Dispossessed 也挺不错）。1969年出版时具有惊人的原创性；对格森星（Gethen）社会和文化的刻画至今仍让人觉得独树一帜。开头有些慢热，在……
It's interesting seeing how many of my touchstone books turn up in other people's lists. Here are some I didn't see yet: Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness. My favorite Le Guin (the Dispossessed is pretty good too). Shockingly original when it was published in 1969; the portrait of the society and culture on Gethen still feels unique. A slow burn at the…
我很喜欢勒古恩的一些作品，虽然我觉得她有些作品明显比另一些好得多。我绝对推荐读读《黑暗的左手》（The Left Hand Of Darkness），我认为它在她最好的作品里也是出类拔萃的。后来的《一无所有》（The Dispossessed），我觉得就弱多了，也没那么有趣，事实上我甚至都没读完，考虑到我有多喜欢《黑暗的左手》，这还挺奇怪的。……
I love some of Le Guin's works, although I found that some are much better than others. I would definitely recommend reading The Left Hand Of Darkness, I think it stands out among her best. The follow-up, The Dispossessed, I thought was much weaker and less interesting and in fact I couldn't even finish it, which was odd given how much I loved Darkness.…
……无政府主义者”或诸如此类的东西。当时似乎正是深入阅读勒古恩作品的最佳时机。我决定大致按时间顺序开始读她的科幻小说，第一本就是《黑暗的左手》（The Left Hand of Darkness），我觉得写得好得让人震撼。采访里提到的就是这本，观察员根利·艾（Genly Ai）潜伏在一个类人种族基本没有性别、只有在……时才会变成男性……
…anarchists" or some such thing. And it seemed like no better time than at that moment to dip into the Le Guin's work. I decided I'd start reading her scifi novels in near chronological order and began with The Left Hand of Darkness which I found devastatingly good. This is the one mentioned in the interview where Genly Ai the observer is embedded on a planet where the humanoid species are in the main genderless and only become male…
Philip K. Dick（《Ubik》、《Man in the high castle》、《Flow my tears the police man said》）Frederik Pohl（《Gateway》、《the Space Merchants》）Ursula K. Le Guin（《The Dispossessed》、《Left Hand of Darkness》）Iain M. Banks（Culture 系列小说）。光是翻一遍 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SF_Masterworks，你就能淘到好多科幻宝藏。

那本我还得去读读。《黑暗的左手》（The Left Hand of Darkness）目前为止一直是我的最爱。
I still need to read that one. The Left Hand of Darkness has been my favorite so far.
