l***a 发帖数: 5114 | 1 最近翻出阿西莫夫作品全集来重看,真挺有意思的,不仅囊括了他最早期那些名不见经
传的短篇,还有自己写的“创作感想”。看到TRENDS那一篇,居然发现他在1938年(当
时他还在读大学)成功预测成两件事:1)1940年第二次世界大战,2)1970年,人类登
月。
两件事都只差1年而已!
我一直觉得那个SF黄金时期的创作高峰,后来者很难翻越……
下面附TRENDS 的原文。
TRENDS
John Harman was sitting at his desk, brooding, when I entered the office
that day.
It had become a common sight, by then, to see him staring out at the Hudson,
head in
hand, a scowl contorting his face—all too common. It seemed unfair for the
little bantam
to be eating his heart out like that day after day... 阅读全帖 |

I.
In the melting snow on the hill-side by the sea, in the last rays of the
evening sun, stood a boy of fourteen, awestruck. He looked toward the west,
out across the sea; he looked toward the east, over town and shore and the
broad hills; in the background still higher peaks rose far away in the clear
sky.
The storm had lasted a long time; it had been more terrible, too, than any
