I have been reading this book recently. It makes me clearer about many things.
Although it has some biases, it is quite penetrating. It seems that the
Cultural Revolution were just a play acted according to Orwell's script in
the 1940s. The book also has reasonable analyses about how aristocracy(the
opposite of democracy) works.
Another book I would like to recommend is Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom". |

段就把我吸引住了，因为和我一样：）
From a very early age, perhaps the age of five or six, I knew that when I
grew up I should be a writer. Between the ages of about seventeen and twenty
-four I tried to abandon this idea, but I did so with the consciousness that
I was outraging my true nature and that sooner or later I should have to
settle down and write books.
I was the middle child of three, but there was a gap of five years on either
side, and I barely saw my fa |

生活，中间也拉杂写点东西，结果干得都不咋的，而且经历了一些事情后（可惜没碰到
二战）想写作的欲望越来越强烈，于是有一天决心要回到原先想过的道路上。这中间
lazy啊selfish啊我都切身体验，而且所谓的motivation真的是个谜。 |

至于其他方面的英文写作，或者家里有小朋友想帮助他们写作英文的，那么我想说说自
己的看法，见笑了。
我个人认为，因为英文不是我们的母语，我们平常说话时光顾着用英文表达要说的话要
费的脑子不少，所以对英文的节奏什么的都不怎么敏感，所以写作有行文呆板的问题不
奇怪。而这个问题看书不容易解决，因为语言的主动和被动运动是很不同的，我们习惯
看书时时fast reading，除非看很多很多本，否则不容易靠看书就领略语言细节不容易。
所以感觉还是要靠苦功来练，一定要每周（每天有点不现实）抽点时间来写一篇，再大
幅度更改。我自己比较polemic，所以素材一般是在NYTimes, Project Syndicate，
Financial Times或在blogsphere上挑篇不顺眼的，就开始狂踩它。写完了，冷静后再
改。
首先是学习active词汇最好的办法就是用一遍。写文章时觉得什么词表达到意思用上即
可，但修改时，最好有本同义字典，查查你觉得不大精准的词的同义词，然后查字典来

The Road to Oceania, By WILLIAM GIBSON
VANCOUVER, British Columbia
Walking along Henrietta Street recently, by London's Covent Garden, looking
for a restaurant, I found myself thinking of George Orwell. Victor Gollancz
Ltd., publisher of Orwell's early work, had its offices there in 1984, when
the company published my first novel, a novel of an imagined future.
At the time, I felt I had lived most of my life under |

private的体验，但是她写得very tangible，所以很动人。尤其跟Orwell那篇比较一下
，她说自己不是那种围绕idea而行的作者，而是描述具体的过程，让过程引领着去展开
一个故事；而Orwell则是1、2、3、4排排列，最后归总到更高层次的mystery去。 |

你看过吗？查了一下此人，在他的代表作中没发现这本书。我倒是知道George Orwell
写了一本《1984》。 |

中国人就像老鼠...
A week or so ago I stumbled upon a Chinese language version of Animal Farm
in a local bookshop. I was slightly surprised to see it, but the back cover
described it as being about 1950’s England, so perhaps the censors signed
off on it as a criticism of the west. It was only 9rmb, so I bought it as a
gift for one of my co-workers to see how she would react.
大概一周前，我无意中在本地书店发现了一本中文版的《动物农场》，... 阅读全帖 |

by Xiao Qiang
（参与2012年3月19日讯）2011年茉莉花期间，著名网络人士、1984BBS站长张健男在
2011年3月3日被捕，随后被投入看守所。在其被捕一年之际，张健男在推特上公开揭露
其被捕期间的遭遇。
1984BBS创建于2008年8月，服务器设在国外，主要发布被中国大陆的互联网审查机关删
除或者禁止发布的新闻。网站虽然只有一万多名用户，但聚集了中国大陆一些活跃的媒
体人，经常有媒体编辑将中宣部发布的禁令发表在这个网站上，致力于寻求一个新的无
删改无隐匿畅通信息渠道，搭建一个新的无审核无过滤自由新闻平台。1984BBS于2010
年10月12日被正式永久关闭。在原网址上现留有这么一段话“在一起的好时光会留在记
忆里，若干年后你还能想起，曾有这样一个地方让你既有勇气表达自己的真实所想，又
能找到现实生活中无法找到的思想知己。自由的春天会来的。最后向乔治·奥威尔（
George Orwell）的传世名作《一九八四》致敬！”
下面是张健男公开揭露被捕期间遭遇的具体内容：

刺激思考，没有不好。
难道全球的小说都该禁???
例如 George Orwell 写的小说 Animal Farm 就很不错。
