在我充裕的空闲时间里（呵呵），我仍然在阅读今年的雨果奖侯选作品。
刚刚读完了刘慈欣的《三体》，原著是中文写就，译者刘宇锟。这就是那部在第一轮提
名中落选的长篇小说，Marko Kloos退出后，它才保住了侯选的位置。在雨果奖半个世
纪的历史中，很少有非英文原创作品获得提名，中国的作品则是从未有过，因此《三体
》在这方面是个突破，也是“世界科幻大会”正在（缓慢地）变得更加世界化的一个标
志。
这是一本很不寻常的书，奇妙地混合了科学和哲学思辨，政治和历史，阴谋论和宇宙学
，来自西方和中国历史上的国王和皇帝们一起出现在一个梦幻般的游戏世界里，同时警
察和物理学家们携手解决现实中的阴谋、谋杀和外星入侵。
它值得被提名。
如果你喜欢科幻作品中出现更多的科学元素，这是你的菜，特别是如果你喜欢物理学、
天文学和数学的话。中国背景很令人着迷，特别是对文革及其影响的描写。文体很干净
、紧凑，翻译作品往往不是这样，有的时候会比较滞涩。在这方面，刘宇锟做得很好，
文笔很流畅。
小说的核心之中，最关键的角色是一个很迷人的复杂的人物，但她不是全书主要篇幅内
的主角，而担任这一角色的人物又表现得很扁平，与其说是一个人物，不如说是提供了
一个视角。配角中有一个粗鲁的警察，写得成功得多；他有点混蛋，但是当他出现的时
候，故事真正活过来了。
总而言之，我喜欢《三体》，但还不到热爱的程度。我觉得这本书的开头很有力，但是
中间部分有些疲软，直到结尾才又加快了节奏。最终的结局不是很令人满意……我目前
认为，这主要因为它仅仅是三部曲中的第一部。但是，我真的挺想知道后面发生了什么
。所以下一部我也会读的。
现在《三体》进入侯选了，我认为它可能是最有希望最终获奖的作品（而且我很确定，
它获星云奖的希望也很大）。在小狗门的当事双方之中，似乎都存在喜欢它的人，这对
它是有利的，对于硬科幻爱好者和类似的读者而言，它的表现应该也会很不错。
我现在还不会透露我会投票给哪本书……我只投给那些我认为值得获雨果奖的，当得起
比“不设奖项”更高位置的作品。目前为止，《三体》和《戈布林皇帝》都满足了我的
标准。
其他的提名作品我还要进一步了解。
有没有人也读过刘慈欣呢？你们觉得这部作品怎么样？
归根结底，这些奖项的初衷在于对作品本身的讨论。

In my copious spare time (hoo-hah), I am continuing to work my way through
the ballot for this years's Hugo Awards.
Just finished THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM, by Cixin Liu, originally written in
Chinese and translated by Ken Liu. This was the novel that just missed in
the original round of nominations, only to secure a place on the ballot when
Marko Kloos withdrew. In a half-century of Hugo Awards, there have been
very few non-English originals ever nominated, and certainly never one from
China, so THREE-BODY is a breakthrough book in that respect, and a sign that
"worldcon" is (very slowly) becoming more global.
This is a very unusual book, a unique blend of scientific and philosophical
speculation, politics and history, conspiracy theory and cosmology, where
kings and emperors from both western and Chinese history mingle in a
dreamlike game world, while cops and physicists deal with global
conspiracies, murders, and alien invasions in the real world.
It's a worthy nominee.
If you like lots of science in your SF, this is a book for you, especially
if you love theoretical physics, astrophysics, and mathemathics. The Chinese
background is fascinating, especially the look at the Cultural Revolution
and its aftereffects. And the prose is very clean and tight, which is not
always the case with translations, which sometimes come across as a bit
clunky. Ken Liu did a fine job, in that respect; the writing flows.
The central character at the heart of the novel is a fascinating and complex
creation, but she is not the protagonist for most of the book, and the
character who does fill that role comes across as very flat, more a
viewpoint than a person. One of the secondary players, an abrasive cop, is
much more successful; he's a bit of an asshole, but the story really comes
to life whenever he's on stage.
All in all, I liked THREE-BODY PROBLEM, but I can't say I loved it. I
thought the book started off very strong, but sagged in the middle before
picking up speed again toward the end. And the ultimate ending was
unsatisfying... mainly because, as I now see, this is just the first of
three. I DO want to know what happens next, though. So I will be reading the
next.
Now that THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM is on the ballot, I'd say that it is the
likely favorite to win (and I am pretty sure it is about to pick up the
Nebula as well). It seems to have admirers on both sides of Puppygate, which
will stand it in good stead, and it should do very well with hard science
fans and the ANALOG readers.
I am not going to reveal which book is going to get my own Hugo vote... only
which ones I think are Hugo-worthy, and deserving of a spot above NO AWARD.
So far, both THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM and THE GOBLIN EMPEROR rank above the
line for me.
The other nominees still await my attention.
Anyone else read the Cixin Liu yet? What did you think of it?
Talking about books, after all, is what these awards are supposed to be
about.
