你是英语课上要读? 没有中文翻译的全本,只有翻译的单篇文章. ("他们携带的物品", "如何讲述真实的战争故事", <<外国文学 >>2003年01期 蒂姆·奥布赖恩 , 蔡春露 ) 从来没有听说过村上春树翻译过这本书, 你应该是记错了吧. 网上没有中文,其实你要看还是看英语的.词汇不是很深,一般人都能读,而且文笔不错,我是一口气读完的.相当震撼.这都是原文才能得到的效果.我就是在Amazon网上订购的,很方便: http://www.amazon.com/Things-They-Carried-Tim-OBrien/dp/0767902890 才二百多页,不算很厚...反正是一个一个小故事,你可以分开来读,读着读着你就会有感觉了.我很喜欢这本书,所以你有什么想法我们可以交流讨论.

Ⅶ Tim O'Brien的资料...他是个作家~!!我想要整理版的~~急急!!要英文的啊~~
1
Tim O'Brien (born October 1, 1946 in Austin, Minnesota) is an American novelist who mainly writes about his experiences in the Vietnam War and the impact the war had on the American soldiers who fought there. He currently holds the endowed chair at the MFA program of Texas State University-San Marcos.
Life and career
He was born in Austin, Minnesota, a town of about 20,000 people (a setting which figures prominently in his novels). When O'Brien was twelve, his family, including a younger sister and brother, moved to Worthington, Minnesota, a place that once billed itself as "the turkey capital of the world." Worthington had a large influence on O’Brien’s imagination and early development as an author. The town is located on Lake Okabena in the western portion of the state and serves as the setting for some of his stories, especially those in the collection titled The Things They Carried. He earned his BA in Political Science from Macalester College in 1968. That same year he was drafted into the Army and was sent to Vietnam, where he served from 1968 to 1970 in 3rd Platoon, A Co., 5th Batt. 46th Inf., as an infantry foot soldier. O'Brien's tour of ty was 1969-70. He served in the Americal Division, a platoon of which participated in the infamous My Lai Massacre. O'Brien has said that when his unit got to the area around My Lai (referred to as "Pinkville" by the U.S. forces), "we all wondered why the place was so hostile. We did not know there had been a massacre there a year earlier. The news about that only came out later, while we were there, and then we knew."
Upon completing his tour of ty, O'Brien went on to graate school at Harvard University and received an internship at the Washington Post. His writing career was launched in 1973 with the release of If I Die in a Combat Zone, Box Me Up and Ship Me Home, about his war experiences. In this memoir, O'Brien writes: "Can the foot soldier teach anything important about war, merely for having been there? I think not. He can tell war stories."
While O' Brien insists it is not his job or his place to discuss the politics of the Vietnam War, he does occasionally let fly. Speaking years later about his upbringing and the war, O'Brien called his hometown "a town that congratulates itself, day after day, on its own ignorance of the world: a town that got us into Vietnam. Uh, the people in that town sent me to that war, you know, couldn't spell the word 'Hanoi' if you spotted them three vowels." Contrasting the continuing American search for U.S. MIA/POWs in Vietnam with the reality of the Vietnamese war dead, he calls the American perspective "A perverse and outrageous double standard. What if things were reversed? What if the Vietnamese were to ask us, or to require us, to locate and identify each of their own MIAs? Numbers alone make it impossible: 100,000 is a conservative estimate. Maybe double that. Maybe triple. From my own sliver of experience — one year at war, one set of eyes — I can testify to the lasting anonymity of a great many Vietnamese dead."
One attribute in O'Brien's work is the blur between fiction and reality; labeled "verisimilitude," his work contains actual details of the situations he experienced; while that is not unusual, his conscious, explicit, and metafictional approach to the distinction between fiction and fact is extraordinary: In the chapter "Good Form" in The Things They Carried, O'Brien casts a distinction between "story-truth" (the truth of fiction) and "happening-truth" (the truth of fact or occurrence), writing that "story-truth is sometimes truer than happening-truth." Story truth is emotional truth; thus the feeling created by a fictional story is sometimes truer than what results from reading the facts. Certain sets of stories in The Things They Carried seem to contradict each other, and certain stories are designed to "undo" the suspension of disbelief created in previous stories; for example, "Speaking of Courage" is followed by "Notes," which explains in what ways "Speaking of Courage" is fictive.
O'Brien received the National Book Award in 1979 for his book Going After Cacciato.His novel In the Lake of the Woods won the James Fenimore Cooper Prize for Best Historical Fiction in 1995. His most recent novel is July, July.
O'Brien's papers are housed at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
O’Brien writes and lives in Central Texas, where he raises his young sons and teaches full-time every other year at Texas State. In alternate years, he teaches several workshops to MFA students in the Creative Writing Program.
"Though it’s odd, you’re never more alive than when you’re almost dead." – Tim O'Brien

Tim O'Brien describes the Vietnam War as the most significant event in his life, and it is the subject, directly or indirectly, of most of his work. "The good writer must write beyond his moment," the author proclaimed in an interview. While his novels and memoir mostly concern the war, their thematic scope is timeless. His most-cited influence is Joseph Conrad: both authors address questions about man's capacity for evil and humanity. O'Brien's writing also shows the influence of Ernest Hemingway, and to a lesser extent, William Faulkner. But O'Brien is best known for a blurring of fiction and non-fiction that is purely his own.
O'Brien grew up in the small town of Austin, Minnesota, and moved at the age of ten to Worthington, Minnesota, which serves as the backdrop to several stories in The Things They Carried. He attended Macalester College and served as an infantryman in the Vietnam War from 1968 to 1970. He completed graate studies at Harvard University and worked briefly as a reporter at The Washington Post before launching his literary career with the publication of If I Die in a Combat Zone in 1973. This straightforward memoir about the despair and futility of being a soldier established him as a leading writer of the Vietnam generation.
After his memoir, O'Brien wrote Northern Lights (1975), Going After Cacciato (1978), which won the 1979 National Book Award, In the Lake of the Woods (1994), Tomcat in Love (1998), and July, July (2000). All are in part based on his war experiences, but most are novels, rather than memoirs. The Things They Carried, published in 1990, stretches both categories. It is neither quite classifiable as fiction nor non-fiction, neither quite a novel nor a collection of short stories. In the work itself, O'Brien distinguishes between "story-truth" and "happening-truth." He defines the latter as events as they actually occurred and the former as events as they occur in a story. O'Brien argues that the latter is more powerful.
Which Tim O'Brien is featured in his stories? There seems to be both an O'Brien the author and an O'Brien as narrator in The Things They Carried. Both fought in Vietnam, both are enraged by the ignorance of their hometowns. Both went to war because they were ashamed not to. Both, looking back on events, find themselves naive and even ignorant. But, as the author has made clear, the two are not one and the same.
Critics often compare this personal element in O'Brien's work to the intensely subjective work of war writers like Michael Herr. Herr and O'Brien both owe a debt to the journalism-as-a-novel approach of writers like Norman Mailer and Tom Wolfe and even Truman Capote. Tracts of essays have been written about the structure of O'Brien's various works, but in the end it is their strong characterizations, emotional content, and the impact that the Vietnam War had on America as a whole that give his work its impact.
3
Tim O'Brien, a contemporary American novelist and short-story writer of immense imaginative power and range, freely admits that the Vietnam War was the dark, jarring experience that made him a writer. In a 1993 interview (unpublished) he described the war as the "Lone Ranger watershed event of my life," and the time before his inction into the United States Army as "a horrid, confused, traumatic period-the trauma of trying to decide whether or not to go to Canada." O'Brien went to Vietnam and served there in the Fifth Battalion, Forty-Sixth Infantry-the U.S. Army's Americal Division —from January 1969 to March 1970, patrolling the deadly Batangan Peninsula and the tragic villages of My Lai after the massacre there in March 1968. Unlike many of his peers, O'Brien returned to America sound of mind and body if not of spirit. He wrote of his war experience in a spare, poetically allusive, and classically toned personal memoir, If I Die in a Combat Zone, Box Me Up and Ship Me Home (1973).
够吗?
Ⅷ 一本英文书的读后感<the things they carry>
很少能有小说,在第一章,就叫人读得喘不过气来。
我对战争题材一向持规避态度,我受不了那种血腥、残忍、肮脏,我厌恶战争,厌恶这种野蛮而暴虐的争端解决方式,我很少看战争题材的电影,也不爱读战争小说。
但《The Things They Carried》第一句就吸引了我。中尉吉米一直带着他所暗恋的女孩,家乡新泽西州塞巴斯蒂安山大学三年级学生玛莎的信。他希望这些信能是情书,但可惜它们只是朋友间的普通书信。尽管如此,他还是把信小心翼翼的折好,放进塑料袋,藏在行军囊的最下面。一天的行军完毕将近黄昏时,他挖好战壕,用行军壶里的水洗净手,便会把信取出来,用指尖轻轻捏住,借着最后一小时的天光,思念玛莎。Tim O’Brien的语言有一种游离于战争大环境之外的迷蒙感,那些亲昵而又琐屑的小细节,让人常常有一种云深不知身何处的错觉。比如玛莎随信寄给中尉吉米一颗在涨潮时海岸交接处捡到的小卵石作为平安符,因为那里“一切交汇而又分离”;吉米在越南令人烦躁的大热天里会把这颗小卵石唅在嘴里,用舌头翻来翻去,感受海的咸度与湿度。吉米想专注于眼前的战争,却无能为力的做着虚无飘渺的白日梦,他幻想自己光着脚,和玛莎一起走在新泽西的海岸线上,毫无负担。“他会感到自己升起来。阳光与海潮,还有温柔的风,还有爱与轻盈。”
中尉吉米只是战争的一个侧面。与吉米飘渺疏离的白日梦相穿插的,是越南战场上美军前线步兵装备的详尽描述——精确到盎司。他们依据战争需要负重,他们根据职位和地形负重,他们根据任务负重,他们根据迷信负重。他们背着纸、笔、别针、信号弹、电线、剃刀片、烟草、蜡烛、指甲刀……他们背着越南这片土地,背着疲惫,他们背着越南的天空,还有盖满了他们皮靴和面孔的红土,潮湿、雨季、真菌、腐败的味道。背上了,便再也拿不下来。
作者Tim O’Brien在22岁的时候应召入伍参加越战,两年的军旅生涯是他小说灵感的源泉。《The Things They Carried》是他的第五部作品,在其中他试图解释为什么自己这么多年都一直在写战争小说——他并没有直接批评战争,批评美国的对越政策,他的源动力不过是“讲述真实的战争故事”,同时,“通过讲故事,你使自己的经历客观起来。你从你自己之中分离出来。”Tim O’Brien的战友,Norman Bowker,无法在战后融入正常生活,无法找到生命的意义,他给Tim O’Brien的信中写到:“我无处可去。不仅仅是这个无聊的小镇,我是说,整体,我的人生。我觉得自己已经死在了越南……我不知该怎么描述。Kiowa死去那天,我觉得自己也仿佛跟着他沉到了污悼之中……似乎我现在依然浸泡在粪坑里。”八个月后,Norman Bowker在故乡小镇体育馆的更衣室里结束了自己的生命,没有任何遗言。
Tim O’Brien在这本小说中采取了虚实结合的写作手法。前一章刚刚详尽描述完一个人物,一段战争中的恐怖经历,后一章却又推翻刚才的描述,坦诚均是虚构。这样的安排并不是为了迷惑读者,而澄清也绝非交代。Tim O’Brien在“怎样讲述一个真实的战争故事”中说,一个真实的战争故事从来都跟道德无关,真实的发生和印象中的真实发生其实很难区分,无论如何,一个真实的战争故事永远无法叫人信服。在“好体裁”一章中,他进一步提出了“故事真实”与“发生真实”的区分。作为作者,他想要读者感受到他曾经真切感受到的震惊、沮丧、负罪、恐惧等等情感——这一切都是“发生真实”的;然而戏剧化了的“故事真实”却最能够将这些情感情绪具象化,直接化。从这个角度来看,“故事真实”与“发生真实”在情感上都是切实的,故事的虚构只是表达手法上的变化,为的是更准确而直接的传达强烈的情绪。
如此安排的小说,跳跃性非常大,如同散文;但不管哪一章,不管是描述战前,战争中,还是战后,内容都离不开“负重”这个大主题。情感最为强烈的一章是Tim O’Brien描述他接到入伍诏书试图逃离去加拿大的情形。21岁的青年,刚刚从大学毕业,在社会反战大潮中模糊的憎恨着战争,还以为有大把的青春可以挥霍,还以为战争政治都与自己无关,一纸诏书却让他愤怒,颤栗,无比的害怕死亡。精神的重迫终于在一个早晨把他压垮,他“感到胸口里什么东西破裂了”,是“物理的破裂——那种破开—渗漏—碎裂的过程”。“我胸口里还有那种渗漏的感觉,一种温暖而又珍贵的东西流了出来……很长时间我只能专注于让自己不要垮掉。”这样的句子,加之他所描述的屠宰场,血雾,腥臭,读来直叫人触目惊心。但这还不是情感最强烈的端口。他在达到美加边境后,在船上抉择自己是否要跳船游到加拿大逃避兵役,平静的湖面,舒缓的风,安静的对岸树丛,对比着他胸中翻江倒海的情绪,家乡的小镇、亲朋、同学,大体育场里赛场上的灯光,热狗与爆米花的香气,人声,战争电影,枪崩掉的手指头,眼睛被打成星状黑洞死在地上的越南民兵……还有船上钓鱼的老头,动也不动,不回头,不看,说——“不咬钩啊。”
书中的Tim O’Brien放声大哭。
那晚上读书的我,关上灯,把书放下,拉起被子,蒙住头,在黑暗中止不住的抖,抽泣,心里像被割了一万刀,凉飕飕的,疼,疼。
不用再说关于战争罪恶的话,不用总结,你没法总结。战争有太多细节,战争有太大的力量,战争可以用一万种方式摧毁一万种文明,战争是偏激的,战争碾碎人性,战争让人死,战争是地狱。但同时,战争又是美丽的。Tim O’Brien写道:“战争还是神秘的可怕的,它是历险勇气发现神圣怜悯绝望渴望,还有爱。”“你盯着蜿蜒刺破夜空的信号弹,如同灿烂的彩带。你俯身埋伏时一轮摄人心魄的冷月升起在夜晚的稻田之上。你惊叹部队移动时的对称性,声音、形状还有比例的完美搭配,战船上呼啸射出的一排整齐炮火,照明弹,白磷弹,胶油弹发出纯粹的艳橙光芒,火箭弹的红色荧光。确切的说,这并不是漂亮。这是震撼,你目不暇接。你恨它,是的,但你的眼睛不恨。”
面对这样的句子,我觉得自己像一个第一次懂得爱情的小孩,第一次明白了战争逼人的魅力魔力,第一次通过文字感受到死与生之间的微薄界限。“总结战争就如同总结和平。似乎一切都是真实的,似乎什么都不真实。在核心,也许,战争只是死亡的另一个名字,然而任何一个战士都会告诉你,如果他说的是事实,濒临死亡同时带来的是对生命的无限接近……在几近死亡之时你会更加强烈的体会自己活着。”我曾经一味强调战争的丑恶,但战争如果没有与之而来的自豪与荣誉,没有表面的美好与震撼,哪里来得内核的腐朽与彻底的丑陋!
Tim O’Brien不能总结战争,我也不能总结这本书。太多的影像,太多的片段,太多的情绪。我仿佛也看见阳光照到Curt Lemon的脸上,他在绿叶和光线的包围中升上了天;我仿佛也躺在污水横流的粪地沼泽上,枪火在响,暴雨倾盆而下,地面裂开,污泥飞溅,人不可遏制的向下沉,向下沉。无比的寂静中,那些山脉、树木、河流仿佛就在我眼前看不到头的黑暗里一遍又一遍无声的呼喊——
“到最后,当然,一个真实的战争故事从来都不是关于战争的。它关于阳光。它关于黎明如何铺展到河流之上,而此时你正想办法过河,必须开进对面的山脉去做你害怕做的事。它关于爱和回忆。它关于悲伤。它关于那对从未回信的姐妹和从不听你说话的人。”
我不能总结。我已经泪流满面。
