原味人文風情:I've read some fantastic books lately.?Here are a few you might wanna read this summer.
我最近讀了一些很棒的書。這里有一些你可能會在這個夏天想讀的書。
Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders.Anything about Lincoln is interesting. I admire him and the tough things he faced, including having a son die being among the worst. And it is striking this balance between the tragedy of life and the joy of life. It's about grief and purpose, and it's very touching.
喬治·桑德斯的《林肯的中陰身(暫譯)》。林肯的事情都很有趣。我很欽佩他以及他面對的痛苦,包括他在最糟的時刻痛失愛子。這本書在人生的悲喜之間取得平衡。它是個關于悲傷與意志的故事,非常感人。
Everything Happens for a Reason by Kate Bowler. You've got this one person who's sick and who was trying to figure out how they should deal with their bad news. You don't wanna think of outcomes as just being random. You wanna be able to connect them to something you control. She's not asking you to cry for her. She's just telling you what happened.
凱特·鮑勒的《萬物皆有因(暫譯)》。你會看到書中的主人公生病了,但她試著想出如何面對這些壞消息。你不想要隨便的結果。你想要的是能夠將這些結果連結到你能控制的某些事情上。她不是要你為她哭泣。她只是在告訴你發生了什么。
Origin Story by David Christian. And the whole theory of Big History is to have a structure that makes it easy to understand and explain things. I think it helps people to have that understanding that now we have big blocks of knowledge, but the big blocks of knowledge relate to each other in a strong way. For me, this broad knowledge of how all the pieces fit together, you know, to me, that's interesting.
大衛·克里斯蒂安的《起源故事(暫譯)》。《大歷史》的整個理論是要有個架構可以讓人輕松理解并解釋事物。我認為這本書能幫助大家了解我們現在擁有的各大知識板塊,但這些大知識板塊卻彼此影響深切。對我來說,如何完美接合這些板塊的廣博知識,你知道,對我來說真的很有趣。

Factfulness by Hans Rosling. It's pretty fantastic because it really talks through how you should think about the world. For the first time in this book, he teaches you a categorization of four tiers that is super helpful.Like, tier one, no bike; tier two, bike; tier three, some cars in the picture; tier four, lot of cars, too many cars. I never got to tell Hans how much I like his book, but the world would be better if millions of people read it.
漢斯·羅斯林的《事實真相(暫譯)》。這本書真的很棒,因為它真得詳細說明了你該如何看待這個世界。在書中,他首次傳授一個超有用的四層分類。比如,第一層,沒有腳踏車;第二層,腳踏車;第三層,圖片里的一些車;第四層,很多車,太多車了。我從沒機會跟漢斯說我有多喜歡他的書,如果有幾百萬人讀過這本書,世界會變得更美好。
Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson. What Isaacson does is say what made da Vinci special. He's most known for his art. He thought of himself as a military engineer and a scientist and an expert on music. And so he really defines the term Renaissance man.
沃爾特·艾薩克森的《列奧納多·達·芬奇(暫譯)》。艾薩克森解釋了達爾文為什么會這么特別。他最有名的便是他的藝術作品。他認為自己是軍事工程師,也是科學家,還是音樂上的專家。所以他真的定義了“文藝復興人”這個詞。
These are books that I'd recommend this summer. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did.
這些是我這個夏天想要推薦的書籍。希望你們和我一樣享受這些書。
