原版電影小說先睹為快!
先來看看精彩評論:
評論於 2015年3月10日
雖然現在纔三月,但是這本書很有可能成為我的Book of the Year。一句話概括內容:一個被誤以為死翹翹而遺棄的宇航員馬剋在荒涼火星聲孤獨生活的549天。聽起來有點無聊?一點也不!每都驚險刺激且趣味橫生。一個又一個事關生死的難題擺在馬剋麵前,被他一次又一次用意想不到的巧妙方式解決。除瞭故事精彩,我喜歡它的一點是馬剋那種麵對問題不怨天尤人感傷哀嘆,而是罵娘之後埋頭解決問題的工程師精神。這本書應該成為全世界所有工程師創新思維和解決問題技巧的教科書!為我們中國航天驕傲!oops,好像不小心劇透瞭。
補充說明,書裏涉及的科學原理隻不過是中學物理化學程度,並不高深如《三體》,所以文科生不用擔心看不懂。但是人人都懂的科學原理,馬剋卻運用得很巧妙,這就是活學活用與死記硬背的區彆瞭。

這本書有關於太空,卻沒有光速飛船、星際穿越,目標僅僅是火星;也沒有帝國侵略、艦隊火並,拯救的隻是一個個體。但這並沒有讓這本書無聊。Watney 一次次化腐朽為神奇,用智慧和樂觀激勵我讀下去,和他一起麵對火星的無盡凶險。喜歡這樣的主角。

花瞭4天時間看完,趕在電影上映之前。
內容有趣的SCIENCE FICTION, 個人感受:
1,無論何時都要保持一顆樂觀活潑的心態,即便麵對無人理解的虛無境地;
2,冷靜,冷靜,再冷靜, 控製所有不良的情緒,方能麵對逆境和順境,從容不迫;
3,利用現有的所有資源和已經掌握的技能,周密的計劃+思考,同時不斷的檢查漏洞,多次驗證;
4,one step at a moment, MORE HASTE , LESS SPEED.

這是看得如此過癮的原版科幻小說。
評論於 2015年10月12日
真心不錯,牛B程序員寫的小說,技術上麵完全沒有問題,關鍵寫得很搞笑
評論於 2015年8月13日
在殘酷的現實中樂觀的尋找自救的方法,沒有精神上的崩潰靠的是豬腳強大的嘲諷模式,一步步下來把種種不可能變為可能,沒把內褲外穿但是個人英雄主義的完勝,去tm的虛無主義,這個纔是我們需要的

內容簡介
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?
人類實現瞭在火星的登陸,而宇航員馬剋-沃特尼(Mark Watney)就是這個第*個登上火星的幸運兒,然而不幸的是,他也很可能將成為第*個死在這裏的地球人。由於一場沙塵暴,馬剋與他的團隊失聯,而惡劣的天氣也讓他們無法搜救他。孤身一人置身於火星這顆紅色星球的馬剋麵臨著飛船損毀、補己不足、惡劣環境等重重睏難,他必須想方設法在這個荒涼而狂野的星球活下來,並一直支撐到有人來救他迴地球。

Chapter 1
LOG ENTRY: SOL 6
I’m pretty much fucked.
That’s my considered opinion.
Fucked.
Six days into what should be the greatest two months of my life, and it’s turned into a nightmare.
I don’t even know who’ll read this. I guess someone will find it eventually. Maybe a hundred years from now.
For the record . . . I didn’t die on Sol 6. Certainly the rest of the crew thought I did, and I can’t blame them. Maybe there’ll be a day of national mourning for me, and my Wikipedia page will say, “Mark Watney is the only human being to have died on Mars.”
And it’ll be right, probably. ’Cause I’ll surely die here. Just not on Sol 6 when everyone thinks I did.
Let’s see . . . where do I begin?
The Ares Program. Mankind reaching out to Mars to send people to another planet for the very first time and expand the horizons of humanity blah, blah, blah. The Ares 1 crew did their thing and came back heroes. They got the parades and fame and love of the world.
Ares 2 did the same thing, in a different location on Mars. They got a firm handshake and a hot cup of coffee when they got home.
Ares 3. Well, that was my mission. Okay, not mine per se. Commander Lewis was in charge. I was just one of her crew. Actually, I was the very lowest ranked member of the crew. I would only be “in command” of the mission if I were the only remaining person.
What do you know? I’m in command.
I wonder if this log will be recovered before the rest of the crew die of old age. I presume they got back to Earth all right. Guys, if you’re reading this: It wasn’t your fault. You did what you had to do. In your position I would have done the same thing. I don’t blame you, and I’m glad you survived.
I guess I should explain how Mars missions work, for any layman who may be reading this. We got to Earth orbit the normal way, through an ordinary ship to Hermes. All the Ares missions use Hermes to get to and from Mars. It’s really big and cost a lot so NASA built only one.
Once we got to Hermes, four additional unmanned missions brought us fuel and supplies while we prepared for our trip. Once everything was a go, we set out for Mars. But not very fast. Gone are the days of heavy chemical fuel burns and trans-Mars injection orbits.
Hermes is powered by ion engines. They throw argon out the back of the ship really fast to get a tiny amount of acceleration. The thing is, it doesn’t take much reactant mass, so a little argon (and a nuclear reactor to power things) let us accelerate constantly the whole way there. You’d be amazed at how fast you can get going with a tiny acceleration over a long time.
I could regale you with tales of how we had great fun on the trip, but I won’t. I don’t feel like reliving it right now. Suffice it to say we got to Mars 124 days later without strangling each other.
From there, we took the MDV (Mars descent vehicle) to the surface. The MDV is basically a big can with some light thrusters and parachutes attached. Its sole purpose is to get six humans from Mars orbit to the surface without killing any of them.
And now we come to the real trick of Mars exploration: having all of our shit there in advance.
A total of fourteen unmanned missions deposited everything we would need for surface operations. They tried their best to land all the supply vessels in the same general area, and did a reasonably good job. Supplies aren’t nearly so fragile as humans and can hit the ground really hard. But they tend to bounce around a lot.
Naturally, they didn’t send us to Mars until they’d confirmed that all the supplies had made it to the surface and their containers weren’t breached. Start to finish, including supply missions, a Mars mission takes about three years. In fact, there were Ares 3 supplies en route to Mars while the Ares 2 crew were on their way home.
The most important piece of the advance supplies, of course, was the MAV. The Mars ascent vehicle. That was how we would get back to Hermes after surface operations were complete. The MAV was soft-landed (as opposed to the balloon bounce-fest the other supplies had). Of course, it was in constant communication with Houston, and if there had been any problems with it, we would have passed by Mars and gone home without ever landing.
The MAV is pretty cool. Turns out, through a neat set of chemical reactions with the Martian atmosphere, for every kilogram of hydrogen you bring to Mars, you can make thirteen kilograms of fuel. It’s a slow process, though. It takes twenty-four months to fill the tank. That’s why they sent it long before we got here.
You can imagine how disappointed I was when I discovered the MAV was gone.

說實話,我買書的標準裏,一個重要的考量就是它帶來的“文化體驗感”。這部英文原版,據說還包含瞭許多針對美國讀者習慣的文化背景和幽默感,這在翻譯過程中往往會流失。我特彆期待能捕捉到那種美式幽默,即使是在極其危急的求生場景中,主人公那種自嘲式的樂觀精神,我想那一定非常傳神。畢竟,在那種孤獨到令人發狂的環境下,幽默感往往是人類精神的最後一道防綫。而且,閱讀原版也意味著我可以完全按照作者設定的語境去理解每一個詞匯的選擇,比如那些關於宇航設備操作的專業術語,直接對應英文原文,會比依賴譯者的理解更具代入感。我設想的閱讀場景是,在一個安靜的夜晚,泡上一杯熱咖啡,戴上降噪耳機,完全隔絕外界乾擾,讓自己的意識完全被文字所構建的那個紅色星球所吞噬。這種全身心的沉浸,是任何其他形式的媒體都難以替代的。這本書不僅僅是一本書,它更像是一張通往另一個世界的單程票,而我正準備檢票登機。
評分這本書的封麵設計確實非常抓人眼球,那種深邃的太空藍和火星的鐵銹紅形成瞭強烈的視覺衝擊力,讓人一看就知道這又是一部硬核的科幻冒險故事。我記得上次在書店裏翻到它的時候,就被封麵上那個孤零零的宇航員形象深深吸引瞭,感覺他身上背負著整個世界的期望和無盡的孤獨。雖然我還沒來得及細讀,但光是那排版和字體選擇,就能感受到齣版方在細節上的用心。那種略帶粗獷的字體風格,很符閤太空探索那種充滿挑戰和不確定性的主題。而且,我聽說這個版本是原汁原味的英文版,對於我們這些想提高英文閱讀能力的人來說,簡直是福音。想象一下,直接接觸最原始的文字,去感受那種緊張刺激的求生細節,那體驗肯定比看翻譯版要震撼得多。這本書的裝幀質量看起來也相當不錯,拿在手裏沉甸甸的,感覺能經受住多次翻閱的考驗,這對於我這種喜歡反復品味經典作品的讀者來說,非常重要。我已經迫不及待想把手頭上的其他書看完,好立刻投入到這場星際求生之旅中去,感受一下作者是如何將科學的嚴謹性與人類麵對絕境時的堅韌精神完美結閤起來的。光是站在那裏看書脊,就能感受到一股強大的故事張力,仿佛能聽到風暴的聲音和氧氣警報的嘀鳴。
評分我關注這部作品很久瞭,主要是因為它在影像化之後取得的巨大成功,這本身就證明瞭故事內核的強大。但對我這種骨灰級書迷來說,書籍永遠是最終的“聖經”。我尤其好奇,電影版中為瞭視覺效果和敘事節奏而做齣的取捨,在原著中是如何被巧妙地處理的。原著中那些冗長的、充滿細節的內心獨白和工程計算過程,我相信纔是構建人物靈魂的關鍵所在。電影可能隻呈現瞭“發生瞭什麼”,但小說一定會深入挖掘“他是如何思考、如何堅持下來的”。我希望看到那些被電影鏡頭略過的、純粹的智力搏鬥的瞬間,那些關於植物學、軌道力學、甚至是物資配給的細緻規劃。這本書的厚度本身就預示著其內容的豐富性,它不是一個快餐式的冒險故事,而是一個關於人類智慧如何對抗宇宙尺度的冷漠的史詩。每翻一頁,我期待的不僅僅是情節的推進,更是一次科學知識的普及和精神層麵的洗禮,那種“沒有什麼是邏輯解決不瞭的”的強大信念感。
評分對於我這種喜歡收集和研究不同版本的讀者來說,這款【中商原版】的定位——“科幻電影版小說 美版 火星任務 絕地救援”——簡直是一個完美的收藏點。它清晰地標識瞭其版本來源和與流行文化的關聯,這使得它在我的書架上具有瞭特殊的價值。我常常會對比不同齣版社、不同年份版本的排版和印刷質量,這款的“美版”身份,意味著它在裝幀和紙張選擇上,很可能更貼近最初的北美齣版標準,這對於追求原版“手感”的讀者來說,是至關重要的細節。而且,知道它是與著名電影同步推齣的版本,通常意味著齣版社會在內容上更加注重還原電影中的關鍵場景和對白,這對於那些同時喜歡原著和電影的觀眾來說,提供瞭一個絕佳的參照點。我計劃著,等讀完一遍後,再迴頭去重溫電影,對照著書本,去尋找那些隻有原著黨纔能體會到的“彩蛋”和伏筆,那種將文字與影像進行無縫連接的閱讀體驗,是享受這部偉大作品的另一種高階方式。
評分我最近在琢磨著如何纔能讓我的科幻閱讀體驗更上一層樓,於是就注意到瞭這部作品的“原版”屬性。市麵上充斥著各種改編和再創作,但能找到一個高質量的英文原著精裝本,實屬不易。我特彆欣賞那些能夠保留原作者獨特敘事節奏和專業術語精妙之處的版本。從這本書的簡介裏透露齣的那種對科學細節的執著,我就知道,這絕不是那種浮於錶麵的太空歌劇。那種把每一個工程學難題、每一個化學反應都掰開揉碎瞭講給你聽的敘事方式,纔是真正硬核科幻的魅力所在。我期待著能沉浸在主角那種近乎偏執的解決問題的能力中,學習如何在高壓環境下保持冷靜的邏輯思維。說實話,很多科幻小說在科學性上總是有點含糊其辭,但這款明顯是奔著嚴謹去的,這對於我這種對太空探索技術抱有強烈好奇心的讀者來說,簡直是無法抗拒的誘惑。我希望通過閱讀原著,能更深入地理解那種“用科學知識把自己從一個星球拉迴另一個星球”的絕望與希望交織的復雜心境,那種純粹的智力挑戰和生存意誌的較量,纔是最吸引人的地方。
