斯蒂芬·金的《抬升》（Elevation）。金绝对算得上是我最喜欢的作家之一。我经常会回头重温《撒冷镇》（'Salem's Lot）和《末日逼近》（The Stand）这样的经典。不过我最近没怎么读他的书了，因为他的产出实在太惊人，而且他的书呈现出一种雷同感，让我觉得有点审美疲劳。从这个角度来看，《抬升》这种温情脉脉的风格……
Elevation by Stephen King. I'd count King among my favorite authors. I regularly go back to reread classics like Salem's Lot and The Stand. But I've fallen out of the habit of reading him lately because his output is so prodigious, and his books have taken on a sameness that I find wearying. In that context, Elevation, which is sweet-natured…

……连我都读不下去这本，简直太无聊了，写一辆被附身的车翻来覆去也就那么多内容，篇幅冗长得名不副实。我对他的其他大部头小说比如《末日逼近》和《它》完全没意见，爱得不行。最近试着读了《我弥留之际》，可能是我当时不在状态，但我真的完全摸不着头脑。我之前还挺期待读福克纳的，而且……
…even I could not get through this, was just boring, there is only so much you can write about a possessed car and the novel is undeservedly huge. I have no problem with his other giant novels like The Stand and IT, love them. Tried As I Lay Dying recently, maybe I just wasn't in the right headspace for it but I really couldn't make head nor tails of it. I was looking forward to reading Faulkner too, and…

……我们那充满幻想的大脑是如何运转的。它让人们能够持续沉浸在自己的幻想之中。在这种情况里，就是那种出奇执着的末日幻想。我大概 14、15 岁的时候，特别喜欢斯蒂芬·金的《末日逼近》，我的一些朋友也很喜欢。当时那个年代和地方其实并没有真正的青少年恋物文化，但这本书和它笔下的后末日世界深深吸引了我们。我们不断讨论要是换成我们会怎么做，又会如何……
…our fantasy obsessed minds work. It enables people to keep engaging with their fantasies. In this case, the weirdly persistent apocalypse fantasy. When I was about 14-15, I loved Stephen King's "The Stand" and some of my friends liked it too. The youth fetish culture didn't really exist in that time and place, but the book and its post apocalypse world fascinated us. We talked out what we'd do and how.…
当年在高中的时候读《末日逼近》，我完全没想到自己会读到什么。我原本以为斯蒂芬·金只是个“恐怖”小说作家，对他唯一的了解就是他写了《它》。《末日逼近》至今依然是我读过最棒的书之一。
I had no idea what I was getting into when I read The Stand back in high school. I thought Stephen King was a "horror" author, and the only thing I knew about him was that he wrote IT. The Stand remains one of the best books I have ever read.
