书籍介绍
这不是一本为战争歌功颂德的兵棋推演,而是一次贴着年轻陆战队员的呼吸写的贴身记录。作者埃文·赖特与海军陆战队第一侦察营尖刀排共同生活两个月,几乎日日卷入战斗,把镜头对准了这群被训练成杀手却又在杀戮中反复挣扎的年轻人。书中真正刺人的,是那种矛盾:有人因没能扣下扳机而愧疚,连长却以“仁慈”自勉;他们既是近乎观鸟般好奇地拆解战场谜题的观察者,又要在瞬间把生命变成街角的不定数。它逼着读者追问:当死亡成为日常,谁在杀人,谁又在为杀人感到不安?适合那些不愿只看战报标题、想触摸战争真实体温的人。

精彩摘录
  • "Less than half an hour before, Colbert had been talking about stress reactions in combat. In addition to the embarrassing loss of bodily control that 25 percent of all soldiers experience, other symptoms include time dilation, a sense of time slowing down or speeding up; vividness, a starkly heighte"
  • "Fick pokeshis head in the window, grinning. “Present for you.” He passes in a small water bottle, filled with about two inches of amber fluid. “LSA,” he says. “I scammed it off some guys in RCT-1.” “Sir, not to get homoerotic about this,” Colbert says. “But I couldkiss you.”"
  • "Recon Marines like Colbert are in their hearts almost like bird-watchers. They have a passion for observing things that exists all by itself, separate from whatever thrills they get out of guns and blowing things up. They seem truly happy whenever a chance comes to puzzle out the nature of small (bu"
  • "“Many of them have sought my counsel because they feel guilty,”he tells me. “But when I ask them why, they say they feel bad because they haven’t had a chance to fire their weapons. They worry that they haven’t done their jobs as Marines. I’ve had to counsel them that if you don’t have to shoot some"
  • "I find his self-awareness unsettling. One of the few comforts I havewhen looking at images of distant suffering is the hope that the starving child with flies on his face doesn’t know how pathetic he is. If all he knows is misery, maybe his suffering isn’t as bad. But this farmer has shattered that "
  • "When Garza takes the watch on the Humvee’s Mark-19, Colbert tells him, “Garza, please make sure you don’t shoot the civilians on the other side of the canal. We are the invading army. We must be magnanimous.” “Magna-nous?” Garza asks. “What the fuck does that mean?” “Lofty and kinglike,” Colbert tel"
用户评论
配剧食用完美
我对战争的了解还不够,所以觉得这本书很晦涩。我知道译者已经很尽力地把它往通俗化翻译。
第一次觉得翻译上的那么多错误不是译者水平的问题而是译者年龄的问题。撇开军事用语,想像着翻译们努力查着 Rap, Hip-hop,Bugs Bunny 的意思并认真标在脚注里,却对 Sushi,Molly 甚至 Dartmouth College 缺乏敏感度随意翻译。不过有些词句,比如“即便是最晴朗的夜空,也难免会笼罩着战争的迷雾” 之类的翻出来比原文更具美感。
Fick中尉请正面up我
过期被罚钱了
很清晰的记录了现代战争中士兵在战争中想些什么。 看完全书,感觉跟着他们走了一遍伊拉克战争,不知道他们在面对杀人、死伤、爆炸等等可怕的事之后,如何才能回到文明社会里做一个普通人,战争太残酷了,无论是死去的还是活着的人,每一个经历过的人都被战争永久的改变了内心的一部分。
翻拍美剧也很不错
美军这个巨大的高科技战争机器,的最小单位们眼中的战争。高层战略目标到基层真正执行时产生的偏差,士兵是真正需要贯彻螺丝钉精神的一群人,个人意志的微不足道,大型体系运作时,机械性和人性的冲突。
