From one of China’s most acclaimed writers, his first work of nonfiction available in English: a unique, intimate look at the Chinese experience over the last thirty years, told through personal stories and astute analysis that sharply illuminate his country’s meteoric transformation.
Framed by ten phrases common in the Chinese vernacular—“people,” “leader,” “reading,” “writing,” “Lu Xun” (the name of one of the most influential Chinese writers of the twentieth century), “disparity,” “revolution,” “grassroots,” “copycat,” and “bamboozle”—China in Ten Words reveals as never before the world’s most populous yet misunderstood nation. “Disparity” illustrates the mind-boggling economic gaps that separate Chinese citizens. “Copycat” depicts the escalating trends of piracy and imitation as a creative new form of revolutionary action. And “Bamboozle” describes the increasingly brazen practices of trickery, fraud, and chicanery that are, Yu Hua suggests, becoming a way of life at every level of society.
Characterized by Yu Hua’s trademark wit, insight, and courage, China in Ten Words is a refreshingly candid vision of the “Chinese miracle” and all its consequences, from the singularly invaluable perspective of a writer—among China’s most influential—living in China today.
##英文翻译很有意思。另外余华他哥貌似姓徐还是姓许 =.=
评分##最早是在香港海港城的诚品翻了翻中文版,然后因为不打折,所以就没买。今天看了英文版,跳着看的,对我而言,内容没什么敏感的,思想性也就那么回事,不过余华依旧是那个讲故事的高手。特别强调一点,这书并不是什么特意写给西方人看的,我倒觉得今天中国的年轻人应该冷静下来好好看看,毕竟墙越来越高的同时,鸡血和变傻光波还越来越多了,对抗遗忘,人人有责
评分##也许这10个词儿能代表中国,但是余华总结的并不好,里面的例子笑话也啥意思,更像是写给外国人看的。不过从头到尾,可以看出文革对余华的影响之深,还有从解放到现在,我们活的一直就没有过尊严,从没有过。
评分##Ian. 当时看的这本,现在想来中文确实是叫十个词汇里的中国。哈哈
评分##果然前五个词汇写的比较生动,尤其阅读与写作两篇,情感倾注,后面五个略为零散,但将“山寨”文化的语义扩大化还是颇有深意。
评分##已经对这类写那个时候的书麻木了。
评分##在地铁里看这个书 看到熟悉的词翻译成英文还是蛮可爱的呢
评分##可以做汉英翻译课的好材料
评分##諷刺的2012七夕節禮物,玫瑰花瓣還是失去了顏色
