我希望有人给她寄一本 Homer Hickam 的《火箭男孩》（Rocket Boys）:-)

如果你想看自传性质的作品，可以读读 Homer Hickam 的《火箭男孩》。放现在这帮孩子大概率会上大学，但在 1950 年代的厂矿小镇，他们的宿命就是下矿井或者干蓝领工作。Homer 被征召入伍去了越南，直到后来才……
if you want an autobiographic a take read Rocket Boys: by Homer Hickam. These days those kids would probably have gone to uni but in 1950's company towns they where destined for the mine or blue collar jobs Homer got drafted and went to Vietnam only later…
……20 世纪上半叶，你会发现很多行业都在残酷压榨工人，远不止镭行业。我敢肯定在 20 世纪之前情况更糟。比如：- 煤矿业（参见 Homer Hickam 的《火箭男孩》）——大量矿工伤亡和慢性病（黑肺病）。利益相关方明知黑肺病的病因，却把利润置于人命之上。- 赛马业（参见《奔腾年代》/ Seabiscuit）……

哈哈 :D 我最近刚读了《火箭男孩》，所以在新闻里看到 Homer Hickam 感觉挺奇妙的。
Yea :D I read Rocket Boys recently so it was kind of cool finding Homer Hickam in news.
有点像 50 年代后期的“火箭男孩”，可能因为他们来自深山里的小峡谷，没法去上 MIT。Homer Hickam 去了越南，最后靠《退伍军人法案》（GI bill）才闯出了名堂。
A bit like the Rocket Boys in the late 50's probably because they came from a holler up in the mountains didn't get to go to MIT. Homer Hickam went to Vietnam and made it via the GI bill in the end.
