Liu Cixin, China's most popular science-fiction writer, is 52 years old and has written thirteen books. He worked as a software engineer at a power plant in Shanxi. In China, he is about as famous as William Gibson in the United States; he’s often compared to Arthur C. Clarke, whom he cites as an influence. His most popular book, "The Three-Body Problem," has been translated into English by the American sci-fi writer Ken Liu, and in China it's being made into a movie, along with its sequels.
刘慈欣是中国最受欢迎的科幻作家,现年52岁的他著有13作品。刘慈欣曾担任山西省某发电厂的软件工程师。他在中国的知名度可以和美国科幻作家威廉·吉布森(William Gibson)相媲美。人们常将刘慈欣与亚瑟·克拉克(Arthur C. Clarke)相提并论,而刘慈欣称自己受到了克拉克的影响。刘慈欣最受欢迎的小说《三体》(The Three-Body Problem)已经被美籍华裔科幻作家刘宇昆(Ken Liu)译成了英文。在中国,《三体》三部曲的电影也已在拍摄中。
Liu Cixin's writing evokes the thrill of exploration and the beauty of scale. "In my imagination," he told me, in an e-mail translated by Ken Liu, "abstract concepts like the distance marked by a light-year or the diameter of the universe become concrete images that inspire awe."
刘慈欣的作品唤起了人们对探索和宏观之美的兴奋感。在一封经刘宇昆翻译的电子邮件中,刘慈欣告诉我:“在我的想象中,以光年计量的距离和宇宙直径这类抽象概念变成了具体的形象,令人心生敬畏。
