道格拉斯·亚当斯(1952—2001),英国作家,毕业于剑桥大学。主要作品就是银河系漫游五部曲。包括《银河系漫游指南》、《宇宙尽头餐馆》、《生命、宇宙及一切》、《再见,谢谢鱼》和《基本无害》。这个系列被西方科幻读者奉为“科幻圣经”之一。由于银河系漫游系列小说的突出成就,国际小行星管理委员会甚至还将一颗小行星命名为阿瑟·邓特——该系列的主人公。
2001年,亚当斯因心脏病猝发离世——此前正在与好莱坞制片商合作,共同将《银河系漫游指南》搬上银幕。2005年4月29日,由迪斯尼公司拍摄的《银河系漫游指南》正式公映。首映周便获得二千一百七十多万美元,成为当周北美票房冠军。
How shall we begin?
This is the story of a book called The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy —not an Earth book, never published on Earth and, until the terrible catastrophe occurred, never seen or even heard of by any Earthman. Nevertheless, a wholly remarkable book.
or
This is the story of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy , a number-one best seller in England, a weekly radio series with millions of fanatic listeners, and soon to be a television spectacle on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
or
This is the story of Arthur Dent, who, secnds before Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, is plucked off the planet by his friend, Ford Prefect, who has been posing as an out-of-work actor for the last fifteen years but is really a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Together they begin a journey through the galaxy aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, with the words don’t panic written on the front. (“A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.”)
In their travels they meet:
•Zaphod Beeblebrox—the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch President of the Galaxy
•Trillian—Zaphod’s girl friend, formerly Tricia McMillan, whom Arthur once tried to pick up at a cocktail party
•Marvin—a paranoid android, a brilliant but chronically depressed robot
•Veet Voojagig—former graduate student obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years
To find the answers to these burning questions: Why are we born? Why do we die? And why do we spend so much time in between wearing digital watches? read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy . But remember . . . don’t panic, and don’t forget to bring a towel.
在银河系西螺旋臂的末端那片未曾标明的寂静虚空中,悬挂着—颗不被人注意的小小的黄色太阳。 Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. (什么叫做“未曾标明”?uncharte...
评分时至如今,科幻小说在许多人眼中仍是荒诞的代表,科幻小说中描写的太空帝国(如阿西莫夫《基地》》、机器人(如阿西莫夫《我,机器人》)或对外太空的探索(如罗宾逊《红火星》),显得是那么遥不可及、不可思议。事实上科幻小说并不荒诞,尽管它仍未有一个完全明确的定义,但...

评分首先,这个中文版很可能是未授权翻译出书的, 根据维基的资料(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_as_international_phenomenon) ,截至2005年,这本书的所有授权翻译版当中不包括中文。 另外,这个翻译极不认真,有很多问题,随便列举一些开...
评分上礼拜我扬言要开始练习写书评~还提前拜托别人到时候帮忙阅览什么的,惭愧,事情当然是没做,连写哪本都决定不了。这也爱那也爱,更严重的是这也不记得具体情节了那个不记得当时感悟了,读书体会在长长短短的时间后成沉淀为“好看”而已。巨丢脸~ 然后今天看到了马文,既然都末...
