随便聊聊我理解的三体与科幻~(6)
而后来读到的《Rendezvous With Rama》,也让我惊叹如何可以用想象力构造一个栩栩如生的想象世界。正是Clarke带给我的这些感受,让我后来成为一名科幻作家。
And later, Rendezvous With Rama made me amazed by showing how imagination could build a lifelike, fantastic world.It was Clarke that brought me such feelings, and that brought me here as a sci-fi writer.
现在,三十多年过去了,我渐渐发现,我们这一代在上世纪六十年代出生于中国的人,很可能是人类历史上最幸运的人,因为之前没有任何一代人,像我们这样目睹周围的世界发生了如此巨大的变化,我们现在生活的世界,与我们童年的世界已经完成是两个不同的世界,而这种变化还在加速发生着。中国是一个充满着未来感的国度,中国的未来可能充满着挑战和危机,但从来没有像现在这样具有吸引力,这就给科幻小说提供了肥沃的土壤,使其在中国受到了空前的关注,做为一个在六十年代出生在中国的科幻小说家,则是幸运中的幸运。
Today, more than 30 years later, it gradually dawns on me that people like me, who was born in the 1960s in China, are probably the luckiest people in human history, because no generation is like us, who have been able to witness such tremendous changes in the world around us. The world we are living in today is completely different from that in our childhood. And such changes are taking place with even greater speed. China is a highly futuristic country. It is true that the future of China may be full of challenges and risks, but never has this country been so attractive like today. This reality provides fertile soil for the growth of science fiction, which is enjoying unprecedented attention in the country. And, as a sci-fi author born in the 1960s in China, I’m the luckiest in the luckiest generation.
