The Martian: A Novel

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.

Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.

Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills—and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

网友对The Martian: A Novel的评论

花了4天时间看完,赶在电影上映之前。
内容有趣的SCIENCE FICTION, 个人感受:
1,无论何时都要保持一颗乐观活泼的心态,即便面对无人理解的虚无境地;
2,冷静,冷静,再冷静, 控制所有不良的情绪,方能面对逆境和顺境,从容不迫;
3,利用现有的所有资源和已经掌握的技能,周密的计划+思考,同时不断的检查漏洞,多次验证;
4, one step at a moment, MORE HASTE , LESS SPEED.

本身读原版书无压力,但稍微注意了生词提示,果真如某位读者所言有些词没有提示,提示的大部分都是相比之下简单的词,感觉是没有做好,和我的另一本原版书a walk in the woods在这方面有较大差异。

虽然现在才三月,但是这本书很有可能成为我的Book of the Year。一句话概括内容:一个被误以为死翘翘而遗弃的宇航员马克在荒凉火星声孤独生活的549天。听起来有点无聊?一点也不!每一天都惊险刺激且趣味横生。一个又一个事关生死的难题摆在马克面前,被他一次又一次用意想不到的巧妙方式解决。除了故事精彩,我最喜欢它的一点是马克那种面对问题不怨天尤人感伤哀叹,而是骂娘之后埋头解决问题的工程师精神。这本书应该成为全世界所有工程师创新思维和解决问题技巧的教科书!最后为我们中国航天骄傲!oops,好像不小心剧透了。

补充说明,书里涉及的科学原理只不过是中学物理化学程度,并不高深如《三体》,所以文科生不用担心看不懂。但是人人都懂的科学原理,马克却运用得很巧妙,这就是活学活用与死记硬背的区别了。

书的外观确实一样,但是封面居然比书页短了大约1mm,而且书的边缘裁剪得参差不齐,排版貌似也有点倾斜,正在考虑要不要退货或换货。

说来惭愧,第一次看正儿八经的原版书。最初是冲着有生词提示才决定试一试,后来发现比较鸡肋,索性关掉直接啃了。之所以说鸡肋,是因为很多不认识的词没提示,认识的词反倒提示太多,不知是不是我个人的词汇树点错了。如图,我觉得 crappy 是个比 countless 更「难」的词。

这本书有关于太空,却没有光速飞船、星际穿越,目标仅仅是火星;也没有帝国侵略、舰队火并,拯救的只是一个个体。但这并没有让这本书无聊。Watney 一次次化腐朽为神奇,用智慧和乐观激励我读下去,和他一起面对火星的无尽凶险。喜欢这样的主角。

质量很好的平装版。封面貌似就是故意做成缺一截的样子(待验证),除正文外书后有导读和作者采访。

还有不少电影中没有的故事,值得看一遍。
文字相对简单,阅读没什么压力。

A wonderful novel!To those readers who haven't read it before:READ IT A.S.A.P!Not gonna disappoint you.
But,F-Words was a little too much.

买的平装,暖色调封面有宇航员的一张大脸。作为一个文科生,我从来对理科的东西很不感冒,但看完电影就很想看小说。主人公是个很二逼、脑子转得很快、动手能力很强的植物学家,意外被落在火星,后自食其力与地球人通力合作终于飞回了地球。书中人物性格刻画得更生动,地球救援的篇幅比电影里多。五星推荐~

It's got quite a nice plot, even though I would've liked it even better if everything worked out perfectly and nothing went wrong.;)
