为什么值得读

- 极其幽默地探讨了人是机器与NPC的荒谬设定
- 开门见山直接给出结局，叙事手法独树一帜
《Breakfast Of Champions》是一部纯正的 Vonnegut 风格之作。他笔下最钟爱的人物之一——上了年纪的作家 Kilgore Trout 惊恐地发现，中西部的一位汽车销售商竟然把他的虚构小说信以为真。其结果便是一出极尽辛辣幽默的讽刺剧，Vonnegut 借此审视了美国的战争、性、种族主义、成功、政治与污染问题，并启迪我们应当如何看清真相。引自平装商业版。

…八卦一下：我一直以为 Tom Waits 灵光一现想出“在瞎子的国度里，独眼龙就是国王”这句台词挺神，但其实是冯内古特在《自动钢琴》里先写的。我尤其喜欢《冠军的早餐》，因为他把自己作为角色写进了书里，并直言写这本书让他没有走上像他母亲那样自杀的绝路。这本书也帮了我，让我挺了过来没去自杀。
…Some trivia: I always thought Tom Waits was clever to come up with the line "In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is King" but that came from Vonnegut in "Player "Piano. I especially appreciated "Breakfast of Champions" because he inserted himself into the book as a character and stated that writing the book prevented him from killing himself like his mother. It helped me not kill myself as well.
与此同时，冯内古特博物馆外的世界正试图通过复刻《哈里森·伯吉朗》（Harrison Bergeron）来向他“致敬”。我 12 岁时成了冯内古特的粉，当时我想从当地图书馆借《冠军的早餐》，结果他们非让我带了张许可单回家找我妈签字。所以这反而激得我把他所有的书都给看了一遍。然后过了几年又得重读一遍才真正读懂。…
Meanwhile, the world outside of the Vonnegut Museum is performing an homage to him by attempting to recreate Harrison Bergeron. I became a Vonnegut fan at age 12 when I tried to check out Breakfast of Champions from the local library, and they sent me home with a permission slip for my mom to sign instead. So of course I had to read all of his books. Then had to reread them a few years later to understand them.…
冯内古特的《冠军的早餐》。我这辈子读过的书车载斗量，但不知为何以前从没跳进冯内古特的坑里。这本书彻底把我给震撼到了。我觉得每个人心里都有一份清单，列着一些…
Breakfast of Champions by Vonnegut. I've read a ton of books in my life, but for some reason never took the plunge into Vonnegut. I was utterly awe struck by this book. I think every person has a small list of things that…
…那个，尽管道格拉斯·亚当斯把他创造的那个叫马文的抑郁机器人给写出名了。我觉得一个人的抑郁恰恰是感知力（sentience）的一个很好的试金石。你可能会对库尔特·冯内古特的《冠军的早餐》感兴趣（可不是布鲁斯·威利斯演的那部电影，那片子简直是灾难），在书里他觉得除自己以外的每个人都是机器人，甚至一度想自杀，直到他遇到了一位艺术家，帮他重拾了对创作的信念…
…that, although Douglas Adams made famous a character he created called Marvin the depressed robot. I think depression in a person is a good test of sentience. You might be interested in Kurt Vonnegut's "Breakfast of Champions" (not the movie with Bruce Willis, which is an abomination) in which he feels everyone but himself is a robot and considers killing himself until he meets an artist who restores his faith in the creative…
如果单说“NPC”这个具体术语也许是吧，但“世界只有我一个主角、其他人全都是机器”这种想法早就有了——库尔特·冯内古特的《冠军的早餐》（1973）就以一种极其幽默的方式探讨了这个脑洞。（希望这不算剧透太多，按照冯内古特一贯的风格，核心包袱早就直接甩在最前面了，整本书剩下的篇幅都是在交代怎么走到那一步的）注：…
For the specific term “NPC” maybe, but the idea of “There is a main character and every one else is a machine” goes back much further - Kurt Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions (1973) tackles the idea in a particularly humorous way. (Not too much of a spoiler I hope, in classic Vonnegut fashion the bottom line is delivered up front and the rest book is about getting there) Note:…
