史蒂芬·史密斯(Stephen Smith),英国电视台第四频道的新闻主持人,常为一些杂志写文章。比如:《伦敦书评》、《新政治家》、《康德•纳斯特旅行家》。
What is visible to the naked eye has been exhaustively raked over; in UNDERGROUND LONDON, acclaimed travel writer Stephen Smith provides an alternative guide and history of the capital. It's a journey through the passages and tunnels of the city, the bunkers and tunnels, crypts and shadows. As well as being a contemporary tour of underground London, it's also an exploration through time: Queen Boudicca lies beneath Platform 10 at King's Cross (legend has it); Dick Turpin fled the Bow Street Runners along secret passages leading from the cellar of the Spaniards pub in North London; the remains of a pre-Christian Mithraic temple have been found near the Bank of England; on the platforms of the now defunct King William Street Underground, posters still warn that 'Careless talk costs lives'. Stephen Smith uncovers the secrets of the city by walking through sewers, tunnels under such places as Hampton Court, ghost tube stations, and long lost rivers such as the Fleet and the Tyburn. This is 'alternative' history at its best.
地上的东西暴露在阳光下,时时炫耀着表象,这些东西断不了氧,所以才能用奢靡、浮华和光鲜示人,等到哪天它们被深埋入地下,我们才更容易剥掉阳光给它们镀的金,接近它们已是过去时的真相:更污秽,更黑暗,也可能更真实。 还在读,已经发现这本书的趣味所在了。路过正...
评分书不错。 不过翻译装B过甚,表面看似文采卓然,实则油腻反胃。译者年轻,师从权威,如果能沉静用工,脱去浮华,当有大成。
评分长安街边上两幢五十年代的大楼计划炸毁,准备给全球化腾地儿。轰隆一声倒下多么的壮观,象征一个新世界的诞生。可是不能这样干,因为下面有庞大市政管网,犹如城市的神经系统。神经系统下面是更庞大的地铁系统。地铁下面还有未知的军防设施,再下面,可能还蕴藏着一座文物古城...
评分书挺有趣,翻译还行但有些地方刻意追求音意相照反而让人读的有点不舒服。我英文是很糟糕的,能指出的只是一些常识性错误,现在还没看完,待补充。 1,63页译者注2——这个错得相当劲爆,竟然说“《1984》里的101号房间是主角史密斯的房间”。 2,把“我来,我见,我征服”翻...
