读过《China in Ten Words》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
未来社会之问 阅读材料；花了一天读完，读完第一个词之后换了中文版读，体验变顺畅许多之余发现之前的译文有明显偏差；
也许是我此前知道得太少，读下来觉得收获许多；
阅读前半部分时想，在中国长大的困惑没有随着代际更替变化太多，我一直以来对于在中国的经历的不解通过这本书清楚不少；
后半部分显得更像是剪报集子，如同作者已经预告的那样，讲了很多他身边和从新闻里看到的故事来说明观点。最后几个词如今看其实已经过时了，但是不影响它们红极一时反映的问题。总的来说就是魔幻。

China in Ten Words Douban Goodreads
十个词汇里的中国
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.
