Not one to get squeamish about blood, Gates glowingly recommends this deep dive into what makes up our blood. Even though this may not be a “typical light summer book,” Gates thinks everyone should know more about this topic. “After all,” he writes, “there is nothing that more people have in common than blood.”
作为一个并非一见血就紧张的人,盖茨热情洋溢地推荐了这本深入讲述人体血液构成的书。尽管这恐怕不是一本“典型的夏季闲书”,但盖茨认为每个人都应该对这个话题有更多的了解。他写道:“毕竟,人们最有共同点的莫过于血液。”
squeamish ['skwiːmɪʃ]:adj.易呕吐的;易生气的
A Gentleman in Moscow, Amor Towles
《莫斯科绅士》(阿莫尔·托尔斯著)
It’s 1922 and Count Alexander Rostov has just been sentenced to spend the rest of his life under house arrest in a Moscow hotel. Even though A Gentleman in Moscow is sure to please anyone who is interested in learning more about Russia, Gates writes that “you don’t have to be a Russophile to enjoy the book.” Towles goes beyond just politics in his best-seller. “The book is technically fiction,” Gates writes. “But you’d be just as accurate calling it a thriller or a love story.”
那是1922年,亚历山大·罗斯托夫伯爵刚刚被判处终身软禁在莫斯科的一家酒店。尽管凡是愿意了解俄罗斯的人肯定都会喜欢《莫斯科绅士》,但盖茨写道:“你不一定非得热爱俄罗斯才会爱读这本书。”托尔斯的这本畅销书并不局限于政治。盖茨写道:“这本书从严格意义上讲是虚构类图书,称它为惊悚小说或爱情故事也不为过。”
