📙With a song - Faye Wong's "Human World"

While reading this book, I always thought of Faye Wong's "Human World" " After the wind and rain, there may not be a beautiful sky, if the sky is sunny, there will be a rainbow"

Brothers and sisters who lost their parents did not grow up with touching mutual support, but more likely because of differences in personalities that lead each other to different life paths. Some people may close themselves, some people may squander their lives, and not all life can be fulfilled and experienced. The pain may still be sore. The author did not use the intention of preaching to inform the readers that you have to work together to face the future, because there is no brother and sister who helps Zhuer to bully his classmates. Beard, let alone no one taught him how to love someone, he stumbled all the way, dropped out of college where he had no interest, grew up doing uneasy jobs, had a few unintelligible love affairs, all the way to middle age. The reconciliation with his elder brother and sister is a fortuitous encounter. The author describes the conversation between Zhu Er and his elder brother with a little embarrassment but unable to hide the blood relationship of the brothers.

 My brother said to Zhu Er, "I hope you can be my best man"
Zhu Er replied, "Shouldn't the best man find someone you like?"
The older brother looked at him embarrassedly and said, "I will make an exception for you." - "Lonely Terminal"

Emotions may be destroyed in an instant, but repairs may take more effort and time.

Fortunately, none of them gave up. If the heaven and the earth are really worthy of praise, it is because of you that it becomes noisy . The world may be full of pain, and it will be lost again after it is lost. If you really want to say why so many people are nostalgic, it is also because of you.

📙 Author Benedict Wells and translator Ji Jianmei

Finally, I want to talk about the driving force behind the main content of this book, the author and the translator. I silently googled the author on the Internet. I wrote this book with anger and love . Benedict Wells may not be a genius writer, he is also After several years of rejection, no one favored his works, but he persisted only in writing. With the desire to prove himself, he carried a heavy abyss, and completed one novel after another step by step. "Lonely Terminal" is a novel written by integrating his own life experience.

An author with such strong emotions, full of sentimental words, but this is a "German translation literature", I took a closer look at the translator Ji Jianmei and found that the Kafka's "Metamorphoses" I read before was also his translated version , it is not clear whether there are not many German translators, because it is rare to see repeated translators in English translation novels.

I like Ji Jianmei's translation . If a book can be read in the original text, it should be the best way to feel what the author wants to convey. The translation is often a layer of yarn, and some even feel separated by a layer of walls, but this novel is not too There are embarrassing translation vocabulary, and the author has a lot of metaphors about emotions in the book. It is not easy to express these suppressed and out-of-control emotions in Chinese translation. Therefore, I often feel that translated novels are very emotional in terms of emotions. It is difficult to reach readers who are native speakers of Chinese, but when reading "Lonely Terminal", many deep and painful words are passed to readers circle after circle like the waves created by the stones thrown into the lake.

 "I spent a lot of time thinking about why. Every day I was waiting for Liz to hear from her, for a letter of explanation...like a shipwrecked man who keeps turning the buttons on his radio, hoping to finally hear it. Human voices. But many years have passed and all I can hear from my sister is the rustling noise." - "Lonely Terminal"

Finally, put a piece of Faye Wong's world, Lin Xi's lyrics are so well written!
