……关于我接触到的东西的卡片。我已经做了一些卡片了。但在为消遣而读的书上做卡片这事,我也觉得有点用力过猛了。我最喜欢的传记之一是罗伯特·马西的《彼得大帝》,尽管我非常喜欢读它,但试图去背名字和细节、把满脑子硬塞满事实,绝对会把我的 CPU 干烧。
…notecards on what I've come across. I've created a few cards already. But in terms of making cards on books I read for pleasure, I agree in that it seems like overkill. One of my favorite biographies is "Peter the Great" by Robert Massie, and as much as I love reading it attempting to memorize names and details and jam pack my brain with facts would fry my brain.
…hour and a half of listening per day. It's much less than reading for the same amount of time, but it's something. Books that I "read" this way in the last few months, and which I enjoyed tremendously: Peter the Great by Robert Massie, Pacific Crucible by Ian Toll, The Admirals by Walter Borneman.
I highly recommend Robert Massie's book Peter the Great, a truly fantastic read that goes in depth on the origin of the beard tax (modernization program) and associated kopek.

……每天听一个半小时。比同样时间的阅读量少得多,但也算有点收获。过去几个月我用这种方式“读”的书,而且读得特别过瘾的有:罗伯特·马西的《彼得大帝》、伊恩·托尔的《太平洋坩埚》、沃尔特·伯恩曼的《海军上将们》。

我强烈推荐罗伯特·马西的书《彼得大帝》,读起来相当过瘾,深入探讨了胡子税(现代化项目)的由来以及相关的戈比。

《彼得大帝:他的生平与世界》,马西著(这本书拿过普利策奖,不过他的历史书写得都非常棒)
Peter the Great: His Life and World, by Massie (this book won a Pulitzer but all his histories are very good)
