Ⅳ Tim O'Brien 的《the things they carried》的中文版本
你是英語課上要讀? 沒有中文翻譯的全本,只有翻譯的單篇文章. ("他們攜帶的物品", "如何講述真實的戰爭故事", <<外國文學 >>2003年01期 蒂姆·奧布賴恩 , 蔡春露 ) 從來沒有聽說過村上春樹翻譯過這本書, 你應該是記錯了吧. 網上沒有中文,其實你要看還是看英語的.詞彙不是很深,一般人都能讀,而且文筆不錯,我是一口氣讀完的.相當震撼.這都是原文才能得到的效果.我就是在Amazon網上訂購的,很方便: http://www.amazon.com/Things-They-Carried-Tim-OBrien/dp/0767902890 才二百多頁,不算很厚...反正是一個一個小故事,你可以分開來讀,讀著讀著你就會有感覺了.我很喜歡這本書,所以你有什麼想法我們可以交流討論.

Ⅶ Tim O'Brien的資料...他是個作家~!!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).
夠嗎?
Ⅷ 一本英文書的讀後感<the things they carry>
很少能有小說,在第一章,就叫人讀得喘不過氣來。
我對戰爭題材一向持規避態度,我受不了那種血腥、殘忍、骯臟,我厭惡戰爭,厭惡這種野蠻而暴虐的爭端解決方式,我很少看戰爭題材的電影,也不愛讀戰爭小說。
但《The Things They Carried》第一句就吸引了我。中尉吉米一直帶著他所暗戀的女孩,家鄉新澤西州塞巴斯蒂安山大學三年級學生瑪莎的信。他希望這些信能是情書,但可惜它們只是朋友間的普通書信。盡管如此,他還是把信小心翼翼的折好,放進塑料袋,藏在行軍囊的最下面。一天的行軍完畢將近黃昏時,他挖好戰壕,用行軍壺里的水洗凈手,便會把信取出來,用指尖輕輕捏住,借著最後一小時的天光,思念瑪莎。Tim O』Brien的語言有一種游離於戰爭大環境之外的迷濛感,那些親昵而又瑣屑的小細節,讓人常常有一種雲深不知身何處的錯覺。比如瑪莎隨信寄給中尉吉米一顆在漲潮時海岸交接處撿到的小卵石作為平安符,因為那裡「一切交匯而又分離」;吉米在越南令人煩躁的大熱天里會把這顆小卵石唅在嘴裡,用舌頭翻來翻去,感受海的鹹度與濕度。吉米想專注於眼前的戰爭,卻無能為力的做著虛無飄渺的白日夢,他幻想自己光著腳,和瑪莎一起走在新澤西的海岸線上,毫無負擔。「他會感到自己升起來。陽光與海潮,還有溫柔的風,還有愛與輕盈。」
中尉吉米只是戰爭的一個側面。與吉米飄渺疏離的白日夢相穿插的,是越南戰場上美軍前線步兵裝備的詳盡描述——精確到盎司。他們依據戰爭需要負重,他們根據職位和地形負重,他們根據任務負重,他們根據迷信負重。他們背著紙、筆、別針、信號彈、電線、剃刀片、煙草、蠟燭、指甲刀……他們背著越南這片土地,背著疲憊,他們背著越南的天空,還有蓋滿了他們皮靴和面孔的紅土,潮濕、雨季、真菌、腐敗的味道。背上了,便再也拿不下來。
作者Tim O』Brien在22歲的時候應召入伍參加越戰,兩年的軍旅生涯是他小說靈感的源泉。《The Things They Carried》是他的第五部作品,在其中他試圖解釋為什麼自己這么多年都一直在寫戰爭小說——他並沒有直接批評戰爭,批評美國的對越政策,他的源動力不過是「講述真實的戰爭故事」,同時,「通過講故事,你使自己的經歷客觀起來。你從你自己之中分離出來。」Tim O』Brien的戰友,Norman Bowker,無法在戰後融入正常生活,無法找到生命的意義,他給Tim O』Brien的信中寫到:「我無處可去。不僅僅是這個無聊的小鎮,我是說,整體,我的人生。我覺得自己已經死在了越南……我不知該怎麼描述。Kiowa死去那天,我覺得自己也彷彿跟著他沉到了污悼之中……似乎我現在依然浸泡在糞坑裡。」八個月後,Norman Bowker在故鄉小鎮體育館的更衣室里結束了自己的生命,沒有任何遺言。
Tim O』Brien在這本小說中採取了虛實結合的寫作手法。前一章剛剛詳盡描述完一個人物,一段戰爭中的恐怖經歷,後一章卻又推翻剛才的描述,坦誠均是虛構。這樣的安排並不是為了迷惑讀者,而澄清也絕非交代。Tim O』Brien在「怎樣講述一個真實的戰爭故事」中說,一個真實的戰爭故事從來都跟道德無關,真實的發生和印象中的真實發生其實很難區分,無論如何,一個真實的戰爭故事永遠無法叫人信服。在「好體裁」一章中,他進一步提出了「故事真實」與「發生真實」的區分。作為作者,他想要讀者感受到他曾經真切感受到的震驚、沮喪、負罪、恐懼等等情感——這一切都是「發生真實」的;然而戲劇化了的「故事真實」卻最能夠將這些情感情緒具象化,直接化。從這個角度來看,「故事真實」與「發生真實」在情感上都是切實的,故事的虛構只是表達手法上的變化,為的是更准確而直接的傳達強烈的情緒。
如此安排的小說,跳躍性非常大,如同散文;但不管哪一章,不管是描述戰前,戰爭中,還是戰後,內容都離不開「負重」這個大主題。情感最為強烈的一章是Tim O』Brien描述他接到入伍詔書試圖逃離去加拿大的情形。21歲的青年,剛剛從大學畢業,在社會反戰大潮中模糊的憎恨著戰爭,還以為有大把的青春可以揮霍,還以為戰爭政治都與自己無關,一紙詔書卻讓他憤怒,顫栗,無比的害怕死亡。精神的重迫終於在一個早晨把他壓垮,他「感到胸口裡什麼東西破裂了」,是「物理的破裂——那種破開—滲漏—碎裂的過程」。「我胸口裡還有那種滲漏的感覺,一種溫暖而又珍貴的東西流了出來……很長時間我只能專注於讓自己不要垮掉。」這樣的句子,加之他所描述的屠宰場,血霧,腥臭,讀來直叫人觸目驚心。但這還不是情感最強烈的埠。他在達到美加邊境後,在船上抉擇自己是否要跳船游到加拿大逃避兵役,平靜的湖面,舒緩的風,安靜的對岸樹叢,對比著他胸中翻江倒海的情緒,家鄉的小鎮、親朋、同學,大體育場里賽場上的燈光,熱狗與爆米花的香氣,人聲,戰爭電影,槍崩掉的手指頭,眼睛被打成星狀黑洞死在地上的越南民兵……還有船上釣魚的老頭,動也不動,不回頭,不看,說——「不咬鉤啊。」
書中的Tim O』Brien放聲大哭。
那晚上讀書的我,關上燈,把書放下,拉起被子,蒙住頭,在黑暗中止不住的抖,抽泣,心裡像被割了一萬刀,涼颼颼的,疼,疼。
不用再說關於戰爭罪惡的話,不用總結,你沒法總結。戰爭有太多細節,戰爭有太大的力量,戰爭可以用一萬種方式摧毀一萬種文明,戰爭是偏激的,戰爭碾碎人性,戰爭讓人死,戰爭是地獄。但同時,戰爭又是美麗的。Tim O』Brien寫道:「戰爭還是神秘的可怕的,它是歷險勇氣發現神聖憐憫絕望渴望,還有愛。」「你盯著蜿蜒刺破夜空的信號彈,如同燦爛的綵帶。你俯身埋伏時一輪攝人心魄的冷月升起在夜晚的稻田之上。你驚嘆部隊移動時的對稱性,聲音、形狀還有比例的完美搭配,戰船上呼嘯射出的一排整齊炮火,照明彈,白磷彈,膠油彈發出純粹的艷橙光芒,火箭彈的紅色熒光。確切的說,這並不是漂亮。這是震撼,你目不暇接。你恨它,是的,但你的眼睛不恨。」
面對這樣的句子,我覺得自己像一個第一次懂得愛情的小孩,第一次明白了戰爭逼人的魅力魔力,第一次通過文字感受到死與生之間的微薄界限。「總結戰爭就如同總結和平。似乎一切都是真實的,似乎什麼都不真實。在核心,也許,戰爭只是死亡的另一個名字,然而任何一個戰士都會告訴你,如果他說的是事實,瀕臨死亡同時帶來的是對生命的無限接近……在幾近死亡之時你會更加強烈的體會自己活著。」我曾經一味強調戰爭的丑惡,但戰爭如果沒有與之而來的自豪與榮譽,沒有表面的美好與震撼,哪裡來得內核的腐朽與徹底的醜陋!
Tim O』Brien不能總結戰爭,我也不能總結這本書。太多的影像,太多的片段,太多的情緒。我彷彿也看見陽光照到Curt Lemon的臉上,他在綠葉和光線的包圍中升上了天;我彷彿也躺在污水橫流的糞地沼澤上,槍火在響,暴雨傾盆而下,地面裂開,污泥飛濺,人不可遏制的向下沉,向下沉。無比的寂靜中,那些山脈、樹木、河流彷彿就在我眼前看不到頭的黑暗裡一遍又一遍無聲的呼喊——
「到最後,當然,一個真實的戰爭故事從來都不是關於戰爭的。它關於陽光。它關於黎明如何鋪展到河流之上,而此時你正想辦法過河,必須開進對面的山脈去做你害怕做的事。它關於愛和回憶。它關於悲傷。它關於那對從未回信的姐妹和從不聽你說話的人。」
我不能總結。我已經淚流滿面。
