……《洛丽塔》和《礼物》），可能会让人过早地对纳博科夫那种让人上头的文风产生反感。如果要我个人向纳博科夫的新读者推荐，我会推《绝望》（Despair）、《塞巴斯蒂安·奈特的真实生活》（The Real Life of Sebastian Knight）或《透明》（Transparent Things）中的任何一本。如果你喜欢纳博科夫，可能也会想试试：萨尔曼·拉什迪——《撒旦诗篇》 托马斯·品钦——《第49批拍卖品的拍卖》
…Lolita and The Gift), might give a premature distaste for Nabokov's heady style. What I would personally recommend for someone new to Nabokov would be any of Despair, The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, or Transparent Things. If you like Nabokov, you may also want to try: Rushdie, Salman - The Satanic Verses Pynchon, Thomas - The Crying of Lot 49
显然严格来说不算科幻，但是——纳博科夫的好几部小说都沾点。《保卫卢жин》（又名《防守》）、《眼睛》、《盲火》（Bend Sinister）、《透明》（Transparent Things）——全都很引人入胜，都在探讨究竟什么是真实的现实，其底色与裂痕又是什么。读起来绝对很有挑战性，每个细节都至关重要。有些人可能也会推荐品钦，我个人……
Obviously not s-f as such, but - quite a few novels by Nabokov. "The Luzhin Defence" (aka "The Defense"), "The Eye", "Bend Sinister", "Transparent Things" - all very immersing, and posing the question of what's the true reality, its underpinnings and seams. Challenging reads for sure, every detail matters. Some might recommend Pynchon as well, personally…
两个我最喜欢的作家互怼作为主角，太感谢了！纳博科夫的《透明》（Transparent Things）里有一小段我特别喜欢：讲一支凯兰帝（Caran d’Ache）铅笔是怎么造出来的。一段不可思议的穿越时空之旅！https://thenabokovian.org/node/53398
A dissing with two of my favourite authors as protagonists, thank you! A small extract of “Transparent Things" by Nabokov that I love so much: how a Caran d’Ache pencil is built. An incredible travel through space and time! https://thenabokovian.org/node/53398
……如果你喜欢《洛丽塔》，这些书也值得一读——我觉得它们更复杂（褒义），而且写得极为精彩。《塞巴斯蒂安·奈特的真实生活》、《盲火》、《绝望》、《阿达》、《微暗的火》以及《透明》（Transparent Things）全都是我个人的心头好。但他所有的小说都写得好到离谱。他的短篇小说《仁慈》（Beneficence）可能是我读过最喜欢的文学作品。他有一种神仙本事，能捕捉到一件简单的小事，然后让……
…books if you enjoyed Lolita - I find them to be more complicated (in a good way) and also written magnificently. The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, Bend Sinister, Despair, 'Ada, or Ardor', Pale Fire, and Transparent Things are all personal favorites. But all of his novels are absurdly good. His short story 'Beneficence' may be may favorite piece of writing ever. He had a knack for capturing a simple occurrence, making…
……算是个反例，因为它们大概被归为现代文学，但人们对纳博科夫小说情节的基本要素至今争论不休。关于《透明》（Transparent Things）的实际情节并没有统一的共识，关于《洛丽塔》里到底发生了什么也有大把争议。在他的很多作品里，比如《微暗的火》和《盲火》，你得费好大劲才能搞明白剧情到底讲了啥，而当你弄懂的时候……
…counterexample, because they are probably classified as modern, but people carry on disputes about the basic elements of the plots of Nabokov’s novels. There is no general agreement about the actual plot of Transparent Things, and a lot of argument over what really happened in Lolita. In many of his works, such as Pale Fire and Bend Sinister, you have to think a lot just to apprehend what the plot was, and when you get it,…
……《科伊尔之死》（The Friends of Eddie Coyle）我读过两遍。我觉得故事那种干净利落、紧凑的极简风格或许能让它历久弥新，就像欧·亨利的故事一样。但天晓得（who TF knows）呢？我读过一些纳博科夫的作品，但实话说（FWIW），我甚至都没听说过《透明》（Transparent Things）。
…Coyle is a book I've read twice. I think the clean, tight simplicity of the story might make it live on, like O'Henry stories. But who TF knows? I have read some Nabokov, but I'd never even heard of Transparent Things, FWIW.
