Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor.
Together this dynamic pair begin a journey through space aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker's Guide ("A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have") and a galaxy-full of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox--the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian, Zaphod's girlfriend (formally Tricia McMillan), whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years.
Where are these pens? Why are we born? Why do we die? Why do we spend so much time between wearing digital watches? For all the answers stick your thumb to the stars. And don't forget to bring a towel!
Douglas Adams is the author of five books in the Hitchhiker's Trilogy including The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; The Restaurant at the End of the Universe; Life, the Universe and Everything; So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish; and Mostly Harmless. He lives in London.
有两个原因让《银河系漫游指南》超过《银河系百科全书》,成为所有知识和智慧的标准:“第一,它稍微便宜一点儿;第二、它的封面上以大而友善的字体写着:不要恐慌。” 不幸的是,在我们这个世界上的这本同名出版物的封面上,却找不到这四个字——连一点相关的暗示也没有。 ...
评分道格拉斯·亚当斯(Douglas Adams)的科幻小说《银河系搭车客指南》("The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy",缩写HG2G/HHGTTG/H2G2,又译《银河系漫游指南》)系列自1979年开始出版,共有五本,分别是: 《银河系搭车客指南》 "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" 《宇...
评分这是对我自己说的话,因为我个人的庸俗和稀缺的幽默感都让我无法能够理解充斥在这本书中的荒诞。 很大程度上,最终支持我或者说强迫自己读到最后的唯一理由是:那么多人的推荐一定是有道理的。抛开人与人之间的阅读差异和文化偏差的因素,普遍的推荐总是存在一般的无偏差的推...
评分不是所有人沉迷于亚当斯的英式幽默——一本正经地说瞎话。 于是,只能让一部分人先笑起来。 亚当斯的逻辑游戏太好玩了。他非常得意地告诉我们:专门为有钱人制造行星的曼格拉斯人根据一张来自泛维度种族的订单建造了“地球”——一台巨大的有机电脑,运行着一个为期1000万年的...
评分可以说,这本书和村上春树,基本影响了我的写作风格和喜好,这种将严肃的压得人透不气来的故事,描写成轻松愉快自嘲的文学,实在是我个人最大的偏爱。 中国人是个无法自嘲的民族,出了国之后和老外接触多了之后,尤其感觉到了这一点,要知道,无法自嘲的民族,还包括伊斯兰教...
crackingly fun
评分飞机上没有小电视……
评分Marvelous! PS: I love Chapter 23. PPS: Marvin, you can turn yourself off right away. PPPS:If you can't do that, try counting 597 thousand million sheep before falling asleep. PPPPS:Alright, I've made a big mistake. He's not a robot, or Paranoid Android, he's simply a electronic sulking machine. PPPPPS: So long and thank you for your fish. Remember: It's 42.
评分边听着Fry叔边看完的,睡前读物。我觉得看英文版和看中文版的笑点catch的不太一样。
