17.Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot – Probably the wisest poetic prose of modern times. It was written during World War II, and is still entirely relevant today… here’s an excerpt: “The dove descending breaks the air/With flame of incandescent terror/Of which the tongues declare/The only discharge from sin and error/The only hope, or the despair/Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre–/To be redeemed from fire by fire./Who then devised this torment?/Love/Love is the unfamiliar Name/Behind the hands that wave/The intolerable shirt of flame/Which human power cannot remove./We only live, only suspire/Consumed by either fire or fire.”
《四個(gè)四重奏》(TS Eliot)——這也許是近代最具智慧的詩意散文。它寫于第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間,卻仍與當(dāng)今有著千絲萬縷的聯(lián)系。以下是一段摘錄:“The dove descending breaks the air/With flame of incandescent terror/Of which the tongues declare/The only discharge from sin and error/The only hope, or the despair/Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre–/To be redeemed from fire by fire./Who then devised this torment?/Love/Love is the unfamiliar Name/Behind the hands that wave/The intolerable shirt of flame/Which human power cannot remove./We only live, only suspire/Consumed by either fire or fire.” (譯注:摘自第四重奏的第四段,本書中文版鏈接,英文版鏈接)

18.Catch-22 by Joseph Heller – This book coined the self-titled term “catch-22” that is widely used in modern-day dialogue. As for the story, its message is clear: What’s commonly held to be good, may be bad… what is sensible, is nonsense. Its one of the greatest literary works of the 20th century. Read it.
《第22條軍規(guī)》(Joseph Heller)——這本書以廣泛應(yīng)用于現(xiàn)代對話中“進(jìn)退兩難”一詞為名。故事中明確傳達(dá)了這樣的信息,即普遍認(rèn)為是好的東西,可能不好;明智的選擇卻可能是荒謬的。它是20世紀(jì)最偉大的文學(xué)作品之一。讀一讀吧。

19.The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald – Set in the Jazz Age of the roaring 20’s, this book unravels a cautionary tale of the American dream. Specifically, the reader learns that a few good friends are far more important that a zillion acquaintances, and the drive creat-ed from the desire to have something is more valuable than actually having it.
《了不起的蓋茨比》(F. Scott Fitzgerald)——故事背景是滿是憤青的爵士樂年代,它講述了一個(gè)美國夢的警世故事。特別地,讀者會(huì)認(rèn)識(shí)到幾個(gè)好友比數(shù)不勝數(shù)的熟人更重要,而渴望擁有某樣?xùn)|西的動(dòng)力比實(shí)際擁有它更有價(jià)值。

20.The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger – This novel firmly stands as an icon for accurately representing the ups and downs of teen angst, defiance and rebellion. If nothing else, it serves as a reminder of the unpredictable teenage mindset.
《麥田里的守望者》(JD Salinger)——這部小說精確地展現(xiàn)了青少年焦慮的起伏、蔑視和反抗,可謂是文學(xué)作品中的標(biāo)榜之作。至少,它可以讓你回憶起青少年那種捉摸不定的心態(tài)。
