Bill Gates, philanthropist and cofounder of Microsoft, has kept up hisreading and book reviewing. Today he released an annotated list of his favorite books from 2016.
比尔盖茨是慈善家也是微软的合作创始人之一,一直坚持阅读和作书评。今天他发布了一份自己作了注解的书单,列出了2016年来他最爱的书。
1. String Theory, by David Foster Wallace
1.戴维·福斯特·华莱士《弦理论》
Gates jokes that the late writer’s collection of essays “will make you look super smart”on a train or plane, as you’ll appear to be reading about physics, even when you’re reading about tennis.Writes Gates:
盖茨笑称,这位已故作者的散文集会让你在火车或者飞机上“看起来超级聪慧”,因为你看上去是在读物理,即便你其实读的是网球。盖茨写道:
As much as I loved the book for its insights on the game, I loved it just as much for the writing itself. I now understand why people talk about David Foster Wallace with the same kind of awe that tennis fans use to talk about a Roger Federer or Serena Williams.
尽管我喜欢这本书里有关这一运动的洞见,我同样喜欢这本书本身的写作方式。我现在理解缘何人们谈起戴维·福斯特·华莱士时流露出景仰之情和网球粉丝谈论起罗杰·费德勒、塞雷娜·威廉姆斯时如出一辙。
