Looking for a summer read? Try one of these 5 books
By?Bill Gates
| May 20, 2019
I always like to pick out a bunch of books to bring with me whenever I get ready to go on vacation. More often than not, I end up taking more books than I could possibly read on one trip. My philosophy is that I’d rather have too much to read on a trip than too little.
每當我準備去度假的時候搞动，我總是喜歡挑一大堆書隨身攜帶。我經(jīng)常會多帶渣刷。我的哲學是鹦肿，我寧愿在旅途中多帶而不是少帶。（筆者亂入：想起自己讀大學的時候辅柴，每到放假就背一堆書回去箩溃，結(jié)果總是剛開始幾天看看，快返校的時候覺得再不看枉費自己這么大老遠背回來了碌嘀，再心急火燎地看看涣旨。）
If you’re like me, you’re probably starting to think about what’s on your summer reading list this year—and I can’t recommend the books below highly enough.
如果你和我一樣，你可能會開始考慮今年暑期閱讀清單上的內(nèi)容股冗，而我強烈推薦下面的書霹陡。
None of them are what most people think of as a light read. All but one deal with the idea of disruption, but I don’t mean “disruption” in the way tech people usually mean it. I’ve recently found myself drawn to books about upheaval (that’s even the title of the one of them)—whether it’s the Soviet Union right after the Bolshevik revolution, the United States during times of war, or a global reevaluation of our economic system.
這都不是大多數(shù)人認為的輕松讀物。除了一個之外止状，其他所有的都是關(guān)于中斷的概念烹棉，但我不是指技術(shù)人員通常所說的“中斷”。我最近發(fā)現(xiàn)自己被有關(guān)劇變的書籍所吸引（甚至是其中一本的書名）——無論是布爾什維克革命后的蘇聯(lián)怯疤，戰(zhàn)爭時期的美國浆洗，還是對我們經(jīng)濟體系的全球重新評估。
If you’re looking for something that’s more of a typical summer book, I recommend Graeme Simsion’s?The Rosie Result.?(And if you haven’t read the first two books in the Rosie trilogy, summer vacation is the perfect time to start!) I also can’t resist a plug for Melinda’s new book?The Moment of Lift. I know I’m biased, but it’s one of the best books I’ve read so far this year.
如果你想找一本更具代表性的暑期讀物集峦，我推薦格雷姆·西姆森的《羅西結(jié)果》伏社。（如果你還沒有讀過《羅西三部曲》的前兩本書，那么暑假是最佳時機Ｉ倭骸）我也無法抗拒梅琳達的新書《提升時刻》的誘惑洛口。我知道我有偏見矫付，但這是我今年迄今為止讀過的最好的書之一凯沪。（筆者亂入：《提升時刻》是比爾蓋茨媳婦兒梅琳達蓋茨的新書，最近比爾蓋茨不停的在社交媒體上推薦自己媳婦兒的新書买优，在這里也是順便推薦妨马。當一個東西挺举，第一次看到或聽到你可能會無動于衷，第二次你會覺得熟悉烘跺，第三次基本上會勾起你一探究竟的好奇心了湘纵。我打算暑假看看《提升時刻》這本書。）
Here is my full summer reading list:
Upheaval,?by Jared Diamond. I’m a big fan of everything Jared has written, and his latest is no exception. The book explores how societies react during moments of crisis. He uses a series of fascinating case studies to show how nations managed existential challenges like civil war, foreign threats, and general malaise. It sounds a bit depressing, but I finished the book even more optimistic about our ability to solve problems than I started.
《劇變》滤淳，作者Jared Diamond梧喷。我是Jared作品的忠實粉絲，他的新作也不例外脖咐。這本書探討了社會在危機時刻的反應铺敌。他利用一系列引人入勝的案例研究來展示各國如何應對諸如內(nèi)戰(zhàn)、外國威脅和普遍不適等的生存挑戰(zhàn)屁擅。這聽起來有點令人沮喪偿凭，但我讀完這本書后，對我們解決問題的能力比我開始時更加樂觀派歌。
Nine Pints,?by Rose George. If you get grossed out by blood, this one probably isn’t for you. But if you’re like me and find it fascinating, you’ll enjoy this book by a British journalist with an especially personal connection to the subject. I’m a big fan of books that go deep on one specific topic, so?Nine Pints?(the title refers to the volume of blood in the average adult) was right up my alley. It’s filled with super-interesting facts that will leave you with a new appreciation for blood.?
《九品脫》弯囊，作者Rose George。如果你被血弄得很惡心胶果，這個可能不適合你匾嘱。但如果你像我一樣，覺得這本書很吸引人稽物，你會喜歡一位英國記者寫的這本書奄毡，尤其是作者與這一主題有著特殊的聯(lián)系。我非常喜歡深入研究某個特定主題的書贝或，所以九品脫（題目是指一般成年人的血液量）就在我的生活中吼过。它充滿了非常有趣的事實，會讓你對血液有新的欣賞咪奖。（筆者亂入：本人暈血盗忱，所以即便你說的天花亂墜，我也不看。）
A Gentleman in Moscow,?by Amor Towles. It seems like everyone I know has read this book. I finally joined the club after my brother-in-law sent me a copy, and I’m glad I did. Towles’s novel about a count sentenced to life under house arrest in a Moscow hotel is fun, clever, and surprisingly upbeat. Even if you don’t enjoy reading about Russia as much as I do (I’ve read every book by Dostoyevsky),?A Gentleman in Moscow?is an amazing story that anyone can enjoy.
《莫斯科的一位紳士》平挑，作者Amor Towles混驰。好像我認識的每個人都讀過這本書。我姐夫寄給我一份后闲昭，我終于加入了俱樂部，我很高興我做到了靡挥。Towles的小說講述了一個被判終身監(jiān)禁的伯爵被軟禁在莫斯科一家酒店的故事序矩，主人翁有趣、聰明跋破、令人驚訝的樂觀簸淀。即使你不像我那樣喜歡讀關(guān)于俄羅斯的書（我讀過Dostoyevsky的每一本書）瓶蝴，《莫斯科的一位紳士》也是任何人都能欣賞的神奇故事。
Presidents of War,?by Michael Beschloss. My interest in all aspects of the Vietnam War is the main reason I decided to pick up this book. By the time I finished it, I learned a lot not only about Vietnam but about the eight other major conflicts the U.S. entered between the turn of the 19th century and the 1970s. Beschloss’s broad scope lets you draw important cross-cutting lessons about presidential leadership.
《戰(zhàn)爭總統(tǒng)》租幕，作者?Michael Beschloss舷手。我對越戰(zhàn)的個人興趣是我選這本書的主要原因。當我閱讀完這本書的時候劲绪，我不僅學到了很多關(guān)于越南的知識男窟，也學到了美國在19世紀到70年代之間發(fā)生的其它八種主要沖突。Beschloss廣闊的視野讓你從總統(tǒng)領(lǐng)導的各個方面吸取重要的教訓贾富。
The Future of Capitalism,?by Paul Collier. Collier’s latest book is a thought-provoking look at a topic that’s top of mind for a lot of people right now. Although I don’t agree with him about everything—I think his analysis of the problem is better than his proposed solutions—his background as a development economist gives him a smart perspective on where capitalism is headed.
《資本主義的未來》蝎宇，作者Paul Collier。Collier的最新著作是一本發(fā)人深省的書祷安，它著眼于現(xiàn)在很多人最關(guān)心的話題姥芥。盡管我并非同意他的每個觀點，但我認為他對問題的分析比他提出的解決方案要好汇鞭，他作為一名發(fā)展經(jīng)濟學家的背景使他對資本主義走向有獨到的見解凉唐。
讀完這五本書的簡介，我們可以知道每一本都不是輕松愉快的消遣文霍骄，對于我這種只喜歡看浪漫小說的人更是挑戰(zhàn)台囱，看不完五本，那就挑一兩本看看吧读整。我自己打算看他老婆的《提升時刻》（?The Moment of Lift）和《莫斯科的一位紳士》（A Gentleman in Moscow）簿训。那么，你呢米间？你選擇看那本强品？
