像总统那样读书: 奥巴马最爱的8本小说

"Song of Solomon" by Toni Morrison

托妮•莫里森《所罗门之歌》

“Song of Solomon ends up on many to-read book lists because of the author's 1993 Nobel Prize for literature, and because the book itself won the prestigious National Book Critics Fiction award in 1977.

《所罗门之歌》出现在很多阅读清单上，因为它的作者获得了1993年的诺贝尔文学奖，并且该书本身也获得了1977年的著名的美国国家书评奖。

易词解词(BY 摩西)

Solomon n. 所罗门(男子名);所罗门(古以色列国王大卫之子，以智慧著称);大智者，聪明人。闪族语言构词法中有大量的3-consonant consonantal roots，即三个辅音字母作为有关系的名词动词形容词的词根，通过添加元音或双写辅音等功能实现语法功能。比如s-l-m这个组合表示顺从、和平，于是Islam伊斯兰是“顺从上帝的旨意，Solomon所罗门是“顺从的，shalom是“您好，而Jerusalem耶路撒冷是“和平之基石。

Somewhat like the James Joyce classic “Ulysses, this book combines historical elements, free association, and unanswerable questions in the life of its main character. Beginning with a suicide and a black child's birth into a Michigan hospital, Morrison explores the complicated role of black family life, its heritage and its possible future.
