  •     有兩個(gè)地方讓我印象深刻。
      不是兩位心力交瘁的父母讓我印象深刻,因?yàn)槲谊P(guān)注著克里斯托弗的所思所想,好像也變得像他一樣麻木無情。
      一是克里斯托弗剛到倫敦,在媽媽那里做的夢。
      二是結(jié)尾作為附錄的那道證明。
      他的父母身處社會和孩子帶來的心煩意亂中,他自己也經(jīng)歷了一次“扣人心弦”的千里尋母(借用豆友的說法),這些之后,他深深沉浸的,仍然是他那干凈純粹的數(shù)學(xué)和物理理論構(gòu)成的世界,這是可憐,還是幸運(yùn)呢?
  •     I finished my very first Kindle book last night, British writer Mark Haddon's mystery novel. The book is published 11 years ago when I was 15, the same age as the main protagonist Christopher. And how I wish I had read the book back then when I could resinate more with Christopher's world, rather than the world of adults where there are fraud, defeat, adultery, divorce and relationships with people are complicated.
      
      It was certainly an easy read. As a slow reader, I finish the whole book in 5 hours and I enjoyed every minute of it(plus some pleasure from reading an e-book from Kindle) There are 2 paralleled worlds in the story, one belongs to the troubled yet extremely intelligent boy Christopher, and another the real world that belongs to the adults, the reality. Mark Haddon is such a compassionate writer that he makes Chris stay innocent, oblivious of the adults' influence which might lead him out of his guiltlessness way too soon. He takes the readers to a tour back to the good old days when the small things matter a lot in life, like the number and colours of the cars, the adult's conversations in the eidetic memory of a child and the stubbornness in numbering the paragraphs in prime numbers.
      
      As a reader who has got a hang of adult's world, the things that was so hard for Christopher to comprehend make so much sense to me. I understand the frustration, the aloofness, the lies and even the betrayal between people, and I wish I could unseen them and only see the world from Christopher's world. The book reminds me of the innocence that slipped away without my knowledge. Things that used to make us happy have lost its patina. That was a sad fact I wouldn't have realise if I read the book 11 years ago.
      
      I start to recall my childhood favourite reads, if they are all sugarcoated and would it be any difference if I was a precocious child. Still I like Mark Haddon for doing that, he divines the world into 2 and to shield those from their pure land and keeps them their longer. After couple of years when they come back and reread the book, there will be new discoveries.
      
      BTW, Thank you Dad for this great gift, I love my new Kindle!
      
  •     But Mother was cremated,This means that she was put into a coffin and burnt and ground up and turned into ash and smoke.I do not know what happes to the ash and I couldn`t ask at the crematorium because I didn`t go to the funeral. But the smoke goes out of the chimney and into the air and sometimes I look up into the sky and I think that there are molecules of Mother upthere, or in clouds over Africa or the Antarctic, or coming down as rain in the rainforests in Brazil, or in snow somewhere
      
      我想他真的很想媽媽。讀這一段時(shí),我難過了很久很久。
  •     克里斯托弗的爸爸一個(gè)人照顧一個(gè)自閉并且有些暴力傾向的孩子,滿足他的怪癖,和顏悅色,從不抱怨。
      在一個(gè)深夜,克里斯托弗帶著寵物鼠托比離家去倫敦。嘈雜的車站讓他害怕,陌生的人群讓他害怕,但這些恐懼和不舒適都遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)比不上他的爸爸帶給他的恐懼。他一定要離開。
      我不明白。朝夕相處,難道他還不了解爸爸嗎?至于這樣像躲瘟疫一樣躲著自己的爸爸嗎?他做夢夢到所有人都死了,空曠的世界屬于他一個(gè)人;他還告訴自己:那里現(xiàn)在不是我的家了,我要和媽媽一起生活。他住進(jìn)了媽媽的家,堅(jiān)持媽媽送他回去要參加數(shù)學(xué)考試,所以媽媽丟了工作和男友。我覺得這個(gè)小孩真的很自私。
      但是克里斯托弗和我不同。他覺得一只狗一只老鼠和一個(gè)人一樣重要,爸爸殺了威靈頓,就如同爸爸殺了希金斯夫人,亞歷山大夫人一樣,他不能再相信他,不能再愛他了??死锼雇懈サ氖澜缋锉娚降取K运碌罔F去找托比,他一遍遍想“警察是不是已經(jīng)逮捕了爸爸”。他并非不會愛,只是他的愛眾生平等。我開始覺得這個(gè)小孩可愛了。
     ?。ㄗ屛蚁肫鹆恕顿|(zhì)數(shù)的孤獨(dú)》,但是更喜歡質(zhì)數(shù)。要是我的論文能寫這么流利就好了。)
  •     在圖書館看到這本書 有時(shí)候我很佩服自己的直覺 立馬就決定要借來
      很搞笑 圖書管理員被他的封面和書名所蒙蔽 把他放到了推理懸疑類別里
      他寫法很奇妙 是有很多可以被稱為廢話的東西 但卻真實(shí)的要命 很難相信一個(gè)作家會萌生出寫出這樣一種體裁的故事 讓我總以為這是他的真實(shí)經(jīng)歷
      我很佩服 克里斯托弗的數(shù)學(xué)和邏輯 我覺得這很有用 我想 克里斯托弗應(yīng)該是一個(gè)孤獨(dú)癥患者 這一類人很奇妙 他們活在自己的世界里 他們有自己絕對擅長的領(lǐng)域 和自己絕對的原則和要求
      他或許就是一個(gè)孤獨(dú)癥患者 但我卻從中看到自己的影子 看到自己想要的樣子 他有想法有主見 有自己判斷的方式 能夠嫻熟運(yùn)用純數(shù)學(xué)和邏輯 知道很多關(guān)于天文 最愛他關(guān)于時(shí)間和空間的描述
      是一本 像 小王子 一樣 可以無限解讀反復(fù)閱讀 每讀必有新知的一本書 絕不僅僅是兒童書
      另外表示 對硬皮書和一版一次的書毫無抵抗力
  •     本人看完的第一本英文小說,標(biāo)簽上赤裸裸的標(biāo)著#ColinMorgan#.這絕對是一篇值得讀的小說(與NC科科無關(guān)).
      
      先不寫什么評論了,整理強(qiáng)迫癥先把書摘擺這以備以后回顧,評論待有時(shí)間慢慢加!
      
      I like dogs. You always know what a dog is thinking. It has four moods. Happy, sad, cross and concentrating. Also, dogs are faithful and they do not tell lies because they cannot talk.
      
      Then they worked out that the universe was expanding, that the stars were all rushing away from one another after the Big Bang, and the further the stars were away from us the faster they were moving, some of them nearly as fast as the speed of light, which was why their light never reached us. I like this fact. It is something you can work out in your own mind just by looking at the sky above your head at night and thinking without having to ask anyone.
      
      Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.
      
      I find people confusing. This is for two main reasons.The first main reason is that people do a lot of talking without using any words.The second main reason is that people often talk using metaphors.
      
      Mother used to say that it meant Christopher was a nice name because it was a story about being kind and helpful, but I do not want my name to mean a story about being kind and helpful. I want my name to mean me.
      
      A lie is when you say something happened which didn't happen. But there is only ever one thing which happened at a particular time and a particular place. And there are an infinite number of things which didn't happen at that time and that place. And if I think about something which didn't happen I start thinking about all the other things which didn't happen.
      
      This is another reason why I don't like proper novels, because they are lies about things which didn't happen and they make me feel shaky and scared.
      
      I said that I wasn't clever. I was just noticing how things were, and that wasn't clever. That was just being observant. Being clever was when you looked at how things were and used the evidence to work out something new. Like the universe expanding, or who committed a murder.
      
      But I said that you could still want something that is very unlikely to happen.
      
      For example, people often say "Be quiet," but they don't tell you how long to be quiet for. Or you see a sign which says KEEP OFF THE GRASS but it should say KEEP OFF THE GRASS AROUND THIS SIGN or KEEP OFF ALL THE GRASS IN THIS PARK because there is lots of grass you are allowed to walk on.
      
      And if heaven was on the other side of a black hole, dead people would have to be fired into space on rockets to get there, and they aren't or people would notice.
      
      And in 1,000 years even his skeleton will be gone. But that is all right because he is a part of the flowers and the apple tree and the hawthorn bush now.
      
      But the smoke goes out of the chimney and into the air and sometimes I look up into the sky and I think that there are molecules of Mother up there, or in clouds over Africa or the Antarctic, or coming down as rain in the rain forests in Brazil, or in snow somewhere.
      
      I didn't reply to this either because Mrs. Alexander was doing what is called chatting, where people say things to each other which aren't questions and answers and aren't connected.
      
      "Special Needs! Special Needs!" But I don't take any notice because I don't listen to what other people say and only sticks and stones can break my bones and I have my Swiss Army knife if they hit me and if I kill them it will be self-defense and I won't go to prison.
      
      Then, when I've got a degree in maths, or physics, or maths and physics, I will be able to get a job and earn lots of money and I will be able to pay someone who can look after me and cook my meals and wash my clothes, or I will get a lady to marry me and be my wife and she can look after me so I can have company and not be on my own.
      
      Mr. Jeavons said that I liked maths because it was safe. He said I liked maths because it meant solving problems, and these problems were difficult and interesting but there was always a straightforward answer at the end. And what he meant was that maths wasn't like life because in life there are no straightforward answers at the end. I know he meant this because this is what he said. This is because Mr. Jeavons doesn't understand numbers. Here is a famous story called The Monty Hall Problem which I have included in this book because it illustrates what I mean.
      
      And this shows that intuition can sometimes get things wrong. And intuition is what people use in life to make decisions. But logic can help you work out the right answer. It also shows that Mr. Jeavons was wrong and numbers are sometimes very complicated and not very straightforward at all.
      
      But the sky was interesting and different because usually skies look boring because they are all blue or all gray or all covered in one pattern of clouds and they don't look like they are hundreds of miles above your head. They look like someone might have painted them on a big roof. But this sky had lots of different types of clouds in it at different heights, so you could see how big it was and this made it look enormous.
      
      The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.
      
      "I know you do, Christopher. But sometimes we get sad about things and we don't like to tell other people that we are sad about them. We like to keep it a secret. Or sometimes we are sad but we don't really know we are sad. So we say we aren't sad. But really we are."
      
      Other people have pictures in their heads, too. But they are different because the pictures in my head are all pictures of things which really happened. But other people have pictures in their heads of things which aren't real and didn't happen.
      
      But in life you have to take lots of decisions and if you don't take decisions you would never do anything because you would spend all your time choosing between things you could do. So it is good to have a reason why you hate some things and you like others. It is like being in a restaurant like when Father takes me out to a Berni Inn sometimes and you look at the menu and you have to choose what you are going to have. But you don't know if you are going to like something because you haven't tasted it yet, so you have favorite foods and you choose these, and you have foods you don't like and you don't choose these, and then it is simple.
      
      And I said "Yes," because loving someone is helping them when they get into trouble, and looking after them, and telling them the truth, and Father looks after me when I get into trouble, like coming to the police station, and he looks after me by cooking meals for me, and he always tells me the truth, which means that he loves me.
      
      But he was being stupid, too, because if you look at the pictures you can see that the fairies look just like fairies in old books and they have wings and dresses and tights and shoes, which is like aliens landing on earth and being like Daleks from Doctor Who or Imperial Stormtroopers from the Death Star in Star Wars or little green men like in cartoons of aliens.
      
      And this shows that sometimes people want to be stupid and they do not want to know the truth.
      
      When I went to school on Monday, Siobhan asked me why I had a bruise on the side of my face. I said that Father was angry and he had grabbed me so I had hit him and then we had a fight. Siobhan asked whether Father had hit me and I said I didn't know because I got very cross and it made my memory go strange. And then she asked if Father had hit me because he was angry. And I said he didn't hit me, he grabbed me, but he was angry. And Siobhan asked if he grabbed me hard, and I said that he had grabbed me hard. And Siobhan asked if I was frightened about going home, and I said I wasn't. And then she asked me if I wanted to talk about it anymore, and I said that I didn't. And then she said, "OK," and we didn't talk about it anymore, because grabbing is OK if it is on your arm or your shoulder when you are angry, but you can't grab someone's hair or their face. But hitting is not allowed, except if you are already in a fight with someone, then it is not so bad.
      
      Eventually scientists will discover something that explains ghosts, just like they discovered electricity, which explained lightning, and it might be something about people's brains, or something about the earth's magnetic field, or it might be some new force altogether. And then ghosts won't be mysteries. They will be like electricity and rainbows and nonstick frying pans. But sometimes a mystery isn't a mystery. And this is an example of a mystery which isn't a mystery.
      
      And it means that sometimes things are so complicated that it is impossible to predict what they are going to do next, but they are only obeying really simple rules. And it means that sometimes a whole population of frogs, or worms, or people, can die for no reason whatsoever, just because that is the way the numbers work.
      
      I like it when it rains hard. It sounds like white noise everywhere, which is like silence but not empty. I went upstairs and sat in my room and watched the water falling in the street. It was falling so hard that it looked like white sparks (and this is a simile, too, not a metaphor).
      
      And it made me think how all the water in the world was connected, and this water had evaporated from the oceans somewhere in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico or Baffin Bay, and now it was falling in front of the house and it would drain away into the gutters and flow to a sewage station where it would be cleaned and then it would go into a river and go back into the ocean again.
      
      And I remember looking at the two of you and seeing you together and thinking how you were really differant with him. Much calmer. And you didn't shout at one another. And it made me so sad because it was like you didn't really need me at all. And somehow that was even worse than you and me arguing all the time because it was like I was invisible.
      
      I used to have dreams that everything would get better. Do you remember, you used to say that you wanted to be an astranaut? Well, I used to have dreams where you were an astranaut and you were on the television and I thought that's my son. I wonder what it is that you want to be now. Has it changed? Are you still doing maths? I hope you are.
      
      Then he put his hand on my shoulder and moved me onto my side and he said, "Oh Christ." But it didn't hurt when he touched me, like it normally does. I could see him touching me, like I was watching a film of what was happening in the room, but I could hardly feel his hand at all. It was just like the wind blowing against me.
      
      But I don't find this difficult now. Because I decided that it was a kind of puzzle, and if something is a puzzle there is always a way of solving it.
      
      And people are different from animals because they can have pictures on the screens in their heads of things which they are not looking at.
      
      Also people think they're not computers because they have feelings and computers don't have feelings. But feelings are just having a picture on the screen in your head of what is going to happen tomorrow or next year, or what might have happened instead of what did happen, and if it is a happy picture they smile and if it is a sad picture they cry.
      
      And when you look at the sky you know you are looking at stars which are hundreds and thousands of light-years away from you. And some of the stars don't even exist anymore because their light has taken so long to get to us that they are already dead, or they have exploded and collapsed into red dwarfs. And that makes you seem very small, and if you have difficult things in your life it is nice to think that they are what is called negligible, which means that they are so small you don't have to take them into account when you are calculating something.
      
      And when I am in a new place and there are lots of people there it is even harder because people are not like cows and flowers and grass and they can talk to you and do things that you don't expect, so you have to notice everything that is in the place, and also you have to notice things that might happen as well.
      
      And that is why I am good at chess and maths and logic, because most people are almost blind and they don't see most things and there is lots of spare capacity in their heads and it is filled with things which aren't connected and are silly, like, "I'm worried that I might have left the gas cooker on."
      
      but I turned round and I saw that he had gone now and I was scared again, so I tried to pretend I was playing a game on my computer and it was called Train to London and it was like Myst or The 11th Hour, and you had to solve lots of different problems to get to the next level, and I could turn it off at any time.
      
      but I pretended that they were just one of the Guarding Demons in Train to London and there was a train.
      
      I like timetables because I like to know when everything is going to happen.
      Because time is not like space. And when you put something down somewhere, like a protractor or a biscuit, you can have a map in your head to tell you where you have left it, but even if you don't have a map it will still be there because a map is a representation of things that actually exist so you can find the protractor or the biscuit again. And a timetable is a map of time, except that if you don't have a timetable time is not there like the landing and the garden and the route to school. Because time is only the relationship between the way different things change, like the earth going round the sun and atoms vibrating and clocks ticking and day and night and waking up and going to sleep, and it is like west or nor-nor-east, which won't exist when the earth stops existing and falls into the sun because it is only a relationship between the North Pole and the South Pole and everywhere else, like Mogadishu and Sunderland and Canberra. And it isn't a fixed relationship like the relationship between our house and Mrs. Shears's house, or like the relationship between 7 and 865, but it depends on how fast you are going relative to a specific point. And if you go off in a spaceship and you travel near the speed of light, you may come back and find that all your family is dead and you are still young and it will be the future but your clock will say that you have only been away for a few days or months.
      
      And this is a map of everything and everywhere, and the future is on the right and the past is on the left and the gradient of the line c is the speed of light, but we can't know about the things which happen in the shaded areas even though some of them have already happened, but when we get to f it will be possible to find out about things which happen in the lighter areas p and q. And this means that time is a mystery, and not even a thing, and no one has ever solved the puzzle of what time is, exactly. And so, if you get lost in time it is like being lost in a desert, except that you can't see the desert because it is not a thing. And this is why I like timetables, because they make sure you don't get lost in time.
      
      And that made me think that there must be millions of miles of train track in the world and they all go past houses and roads and rivers and fields, and that made me think how many people must be in the world and they all have houses and roads to travel on and cars and pets and clothes and they all eat lunch and go to bed and have names and this made my head hurt, too, so I closed my eyes again and did counting and groaning.
      
      People believe in God because the world is very complicated and they think it is very unlikely that anything as complicated as a flying squirrel or the human eye or a brain could happen by chance. But they should think logically and if they thought logically they would see that they can only ask this question because it has already happened and they exist. And there are billions of planets where there is no life, but there is no one on those planets with brains to notice. And it is like if everyone in the world was tossing coins eventually someone would get 5,698 heads in a row and they would think they were very special. But they wouldn't be because there would be millions of people who didn't get 5,698 heads.
      
      And these conditions are very rare, but they are possible, and they cause life. And it just happens. But it doesn't have to end up with rhinoceroses and human beings and whales. It could end up with anything. And, for example, some people say how can an eye happen by accident? Because an eye has to evolve from something else very like an eye and it doesn't just happen because of a genetic mistake, and what is the use of half an eye? But half an eye is very useful because half an eye means that an animal can see half of an animal that wants to eat it and get out of the way, and it will eat the animal that only has a third of an eye or 49% of an eye instead because it hasn't got out of the way quick enough, and the animal that is eaten won't have babies because it is dead. And 1% of an eye is better than no eye. And people who believe in God think God has put human beings on the earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. Or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.
      
      And also, a thing is interesting because of thinking about it and not because of being new.
      
      And in the dream nearly everyone on the earth is dead, because they have caught a virus. But it's not like a normal virus. It's like a computer virus. And people catch it because of the meaning of something an infected person says and the meaning of what they do with their faces when they say it, which means that people can also get it from watching an infected person on television, which means that it spreads around the world really quickly. And when people get the virus they just sit on the sofa and do nothing and they don't eat or drink and so they die. But sometimes I have different versions of the dream, like when you can see two versions of a film, the ordinary one and the director's cut, like Blade Runner. And in some versions of the dream the virus makes them crash their cars or walk into the sea and drown, or jump into rivers, and I think that this version is better because then there aren't bodies of dead people everywhere. And eventually there is no one left in the world except people who don't look at other people's faces and who don't know what these pictures mean and these people are all special people like me. And they like being on their own and I hardly ever see them because they are like okapi in the jungle in the Congo, which are a kind of antelope and very shy and rare.
      
      And I go out of Father's house and I walk down the street, and it is very quiet even though it is the middle of the day and I can't hear any noise except birds singing and wind and sometimes buildings falling down in the distance, and if I stand very close to traffic lights I can hear a little click as the colors change.
      
      And I stand in the surf and it comes up and over my shoes. And I don't go swimming in case there are sharks. And I stand and look at the horizon and I take out my long metal ruler and I hold it up against the line between the sea and the sky and I demonstrate that the line is a curve and the earth is round. And the way the surf comes up and over my shoes and then goes down again is in a rhythm, like music or drumming.
      
      And when Mother and Mr. Shears argued I took the little radio from the kitchen and I went and sat in the spare room and I tuned it halfway between two stations so that all I could hear was white noise and I turned the volume up really loud and I held it against my ear and the sound filled my head and it hurt so that I couldn't feel any other sort of hurt, like the hurt in my chest, and I couldn't hear Mother and Mr. Shears arguing and I couldn't think about not doing my A level or the fact that there wasn't a garden at 451c Chapter Road, London NW2 5NG, or the fact that I couldn't see the stars.
      
      it was like pressing your thumbnail against a radiator when it's really hot and the pain starts and it makes you want to cry and the pain keeps hurting even when you take your thumb away from the radiator.
      
      And I said, "I want to do it," because I don't like it when I put things in my timetable and I have to take them out again, because when I do that it makes me feel sick.
      
      And that night, just after I got home, Father came back to the house and I screamed but Mother said she wouldn't let anything bad happen to me and I went into the garden and lay down and looked at the stars in the sky and made myself negligible. And when Father came out of the house he looked at me for a long time and then he punched the fence and made a hole in it and went away.
      
      And it's best if you know a good thing is going to happen, like an eclipse or getting a microscope for Christmas. And it's bad if you know a bad thing is going to happen, like having a filling or going to France. But I think it is worst if you don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing which is going to happen.
      
      So I sat on the sofa and he sat on the armchair and Mother was in the hallway and Father said, "Christopher, look. . . Things can't go on like this. I don't know about you, but this. . . this just hurts too much. You being in the house but refusing to talk to me. . . You have to learn to trust me. . . And I don't care how long it takes. . . If it's a minute one day and two minutes the next and three minutes the next and it takes years I don't care. Because this is important. This is more important than anything else."
      
      And I went to a bookshop with Mother and I bought a book called Further Maths for A Level and Father told Mrs. Gascoyne that I was going to take A-level further maths next year and she said "OK." And I am going to pass it and get an A grade. And in two years' time I am going to take A- level physics and get an A grade. And then, when I've done that, I am going to go to university in another town. And it doesn't have to be in London because I don't like London and there are universities in lots of places and not all of them are in big cities. And I can live in a flat with a garden and a proper toilet. And I can take Sandy and my books and my computer. And then I will get a First Class Honors degree and I will become a scientist. And I know I can do this because I went to London on my own, and because I solved the mystery of Who Killed Wellington? and I found my mother and I was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything. 結(jié)尾這段話真的看得想哭...T T
      
  •     At the beginning, I found this book a boring book. But even I do not know why I kept reading it. Now I think I made a really good decision. I became more and more interested in this book. I've started to understand a boy like Christopher. I like to join his live so much now. This is one of the best books that I have ever read! If I am going to discribe this book, I will say this is a sad but powerful book! Read it, then you will get lots of new things!
  •     看完前兩章,忽然有一瞬間的錯(cuò)覺,以為這些文字是自己寫的。這種感覺不好分享,就是內(nèi)心里有一種很大的歡喜。
      
      這樣一個(gè)看似只適合兒童的讀物,卻有著它巨大的吸引力,這也得益于狗狗被殺這一神秘事件,包括母親的信。從頭到尾都不想著停下來,不知是努力想知道克里斯托弗坐火車的終點(diǎn)到底會是哪里,還是在盼望另一個(gè)神秘。
      
  •      磨蹭了一星期才看完的書,如果拋開別的不說,這本書最吸引我的只有書中的自閉癥患兒的那些理性思考,可能我自己也是那種不太會顧及別人感受的那種自私的人,看這本書,就像看一本自己的病歷。
       其實(shí)我最想說的就是,有能力還是要看原版小說,這種翻譯過來的舶來品,在一字一句中,就像一個(gè)幼稚園的孩子的流水賬日記,這是我最不能忍受的。
       相對于這本書所能帶來的思想方面的理解和描繪,我覺得這本書之所以能暢銷的某幾個(gè)值得我仔細(xì)研究的方面就是,小說的寫作角度和敘事手段。
       這本書在我剛開始看時(shí)就發(fā)覺到章節(jié)的設(shè)置有暗示和伏筆,而剛開始主人公還沒有去倫敦以前,他的敘事結(jié)構(gòu)是穿插著的,也就是兩條線交叉敘事,關(guān)于小狗死亡事件是每隔一章一個(gè)記敘,而中間穿插的是他自己對自己的世界的理解和分析。那些理性分析跟前后對比來言,是完全孤立的。但是這就像兩條線,一前一后串成了他的人生,并在去倫敦的路上,終于成了一體。
       還有一個(gè)方面,就是作者手下所虛構(gòu)的這個(gè)人物,方方面面都有獨(dú)特的描寫,也就是,正是這種表面上類似于流水賬一樣的文字才能真正體現(xiàn)他內(nèi)心對外界的冷漠和膽怯以及他那格格不入的內(nèi)心世界。
       這本書細(xì)節(jié)描寫比較多,許多細(xì)節(jié)看似單調(diào)啰嗦,但同樣離開這些細(xì)節(jié),就體現(xiàn)不出主人公觀察細(xì)致以及不懂怎樣理解別人感受的自閉癥性格。
       這本書給人一種參與感,感覺上是和主人公一同成長的,也就是親眼見證了全過程,里面多處間雜著老師對他的指導(dǎo),在大腦中就會很不自覺形成出一個(gè)老師耐心指導(dǎo)他學(xué)會生活的畫面。
       以上是我想到的,看翻譯版本覺得味同嚼蠟,就找點(diǎn)細(xì)節(jié)分析分析,其實(shí)前幾分鐘,我看了別人對它的英文版的書評引用的一段文字,才發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)孩子寫的故事,其實(shí)很有趣。
       只不過我也才還是個(gè)孩子。
  •     【假定你也已讀了本書,因而我就不怕劇透,但也不多介紹內(nèi)容了】
      
      近些年的書,熱騰騰冒著geek范兒的好多,這里就有最杰出的一部:《深夜小狗事件》。故事說的是一個(gè)孤獨(dú)的男孩,嗯,若我認(rèn)為他只是一個(gè)普通的孤獨(dú)男孩,也許就不敢專門寫這個(gè)了(我手拙不敢獻(xiàn)丑)。起碼,在克里斯托弗(故事主角)身上,我是看到了好多的自己的陰暗影子。
      克里斯托弗是如此孤獨(dú)的一個(gè)男孩,他也有著一般14歲男孩的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)性格——渴望獨(dú)立,追求自由;不過他的夢里——哦不,他的眼里,世界又與別人是那樣的不同。平常人是很難模仿的了,有誰會需要核對圖表才能知道別人表情的意義呢?有誰會閑來無事清點(diǎn)周圍事物的物理細(xì)節(jié)特性呢?有誰會對正在跟自己說話的人的每句話都用邏輯語句理解呢?——也許有,例如我,就是無法用一般口語邏輯與人對話的一類人,因此,多多少少就知道固中艱難。尤其因?yàn)榭死锼雇懈ナ亲鳛閿?shù)學(xué)神才而登場的,這是他開始到最后的身份,也將會是他一生的身份。
      
      想起之前某處也有議論過,蔣方舟MM的《控訴理科男》所描繪的,geek們的孤獨(dú)之心。帶有g(shù)eek屬性的我大膽說:我認(rèn)為每個(gè)人在世上至少都是孤島,只是geek的眼睛拒絕迷霧,因此提早發(fā)現(xiàn)了這一事實(shí)。(2011年有心理學(xué)家統(tǒng)計(jì):“geek家庭自閉兒多”,而后有質(zhì)疑聲:“只是geek家庭幼兒受教育好,答題偏嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)”)
      這作為本書的讀后感。
      
      至于本書的寫作手法,超有g(shù)eek范的,值得一學(xué)。實(shí)際也不難學(xué),以后,我也可以來這么一份……哼哼……值得參考參考。
  •     單看書名與書衣,很容易會把這本小說歸入時(shí)下大賣的懸疑推理一類。
      讀完全書之后,才曉得這個(gè)不長的故事,其實(shí)充溢著令人感動(dòng)的真情。
      全書從患有自閉癥的主人公的視角展開——
      母親出走后,他在父親以及學(xué)校老師的關(guān)愛保護(hù)下,享受著自己的城池。
      直到一樁神秘的小狗死亡事件發(fā)生,打破了原有的平靜,令他的生活懷疑叢生……
      其實(shí),所有誤會都源于父母對于孩子的愛護(hù),很難去講誰對誰錯(cuò)。
      就像故事里的爸爸,一個(gè)被妻子拋棄了的男人,無論在多么極端的情況下也不愿打罵兒子,
      不止一處的文字里寫到了爸爸落淚,我相信這些眼淚的名字,不叫脆弱。
      媽媽寫來的幾十封信件,以及后來為了兒子被男友拋棄的橋段,也讓人讀來為之喟嘆,
      哪怕是迷途知返的母愛,也因真摯而動(dòng)人,之前的過錯(cuò)又算得了什么呢?
      全書的文字都很樸實(shí),卻又順理成章地一直吸引著閱讀深入下去。
      值得一提的是章節(jié)的編排打破了常規(guī)數(shù)字順序,真是耳目一新。
      講述故事中間偶爾穿插的一些數(shù)學(xué)邏輯知識,也給追著情節(jié)看的我們,提供了喘氣的間隙,挺有意思。
  •     就好像一個(gè)剛誕生的小生命,怯生,于是對陌生的世界有點(diǎn)不信任,不愿意用小手去觸摸那些不了解的事物,于是最遠(yuǎn)不過走到街角的雜貨鋪,而事實(shí)上你可以獨(dú)自一人搭上一班去倫敦的火車。
      
      孩子的心事最純潔最簡單最天真的,但也同時(shí)是最難以捉摸的。小男孩很儒雅也很淘氣,他的獨(dú)白像極了我的童年所想,我也喜歡用數(shù)字來判定這一天是不是幸運(yùn)的一天,比如我喜歡把路上遇到的車牌和班上同學(xué)的學(xué)號對應(yīng),喜歡喝水的時(shí)候分成18次因?yàn)?8是我的幸運(yùn)數(shù)字。我們的童年總是會出現(xiàn)一些奇妙的規(guī)律,來主宰我們小小天地里的秩序。
      
      然而作者應(yīng)該是個(gè)很厲害的人,事實(shí)上他就是,作者馬克.哈登是一個(gè)來自英國的作家插畫家漫畫家,1981年畢業(yè)于牛津大學(xué),之后再愛丁堡大學(xué)獲得了文學(xué)碩士學(xué)位。這本書超越了《哈利波特》榮登榜首,還一舉奪得全球30多項(xiàng)文學(xué)大獎(jiǎng)。作者最厲害的是,在這本書里用童眼的角度去描寫一個(gè)充滿童趣卻賦予了極高邏輯性的故事,并且是一個(gè)寫給孩子們看的勇敢的故事。它包含一些啟發(fā)性的問題,比如在14頁:“科學(xué)家們有很長一段時(shí)間都沒辦法解釋,為何宇宙中有億萬顆恒星,夜晚的天空卻仍舊一片漆黑。你所望向的每一個(gè)方向都有恒星,天空應(yīng)該被星空照得雪亮才對,因?yàn)樘罩袥]有什么物質(zhì)能夠阻擋這些光到達(dá)地球?!?8頁:
      “質(zhì)數(shù)無法套用任何數(shù)學(xué)模式。我覺得直呼就像生命,它們非常有邏輯,但即使花上一輩子的時(shí)間去思考,你也無法找出其中的規(guī)律?!?br />   
      總之,一口氣讀完,還有點(diǎn)意猶未盡。
      
      
  •     不為人父母,不曾體會父母的心。
      
      天底下許多初為人父或人母的人,在聽到自己孩子第一聲啼哭的時(shí)候首先想到的是:我要做爸爸或者我要做媽媽了,然后懷著欣喜的心情想像著:啊,我要給TA最好的生活,讀最好的學(xué)校,讓TA衣食無憂,讓TA健康快樂的生活!
      
      是的,父母的愛,就是給予。
      
      書中爸爸面對克里斯托弗的許多行為,極大的克制著自己,不讓自己的情緒流露出來,甚至克里斯托弗的媽媽離開他們時(shí),他撒了謊,因?yàn)槲蚁嘈牛菢右环N情況,他也許是真的不知道該怎么辦?告訴兒子,兒子能理解嗎?不告訴,兒子又會怎樣想呢?那樣糾結(jié)的心情,只有他自己體會到。
      
      克里斯托弗是極其認(rèn)真的孩子,就像他自己說的一樣:一旦對某件事產(chǎn)生了真正的興趣,就會對周圍一切視而不見、充耳不聞,連爸爸叫吃晚飯都聽不見。他就是這么認(rèn)真,認(rèn)真的對待身邊的事物,他不喜歡陌生人,不喜歡黃色和褐色,用紅色車輛和黃色車輛的數(shù)量來區(qū)分那天是否是吉日,對事物觀察細(xì)致,知道爸爸怎樣上樓,車子發(fā)動(dòng)時(shí)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的聲音有何不同,幾事喜歡找尋規(guī)律,喜歡按規(guī)律來辦事,去到一個(gè)陌生的地方也是找尋規(guī)律,喜歡數(shù)學(xué)及天文。。。在常人看來,他是行為特殊的孩子,但其實(shí)只有我們自己知道,我們所謂的行為準(zhǔn)則,未必就是正常的。所以他極其認(rèn)真的對待撒謊這件事,當(dāng)他知道一切真相,知道威靈頓是被爸爸殺死的,知道媽媽并沒有死時(shí),他的恐慌達(dá)到了極點(diǎn),他害怕爸爸殺了他!
      
      看到這里,突然為爸爸感到傷心,爸爸將克里斯托弗從警局帶回家時(shí),警告他不要再管閑事,凌晨2:07分,克里斯托弗決定喝杯橙汁,看到爸爸坐在沙發(fā)上看斯諾克比賽,喝著威士忌,他在流淚??死锼雇蟹騿枺耗闶窃跒橥`頓難過嗎?爸爸盯著他看了很長時(shí)間,然后用鼻子吸了吸氣,說:是的,克里斯托弗,你可以這么說,你完全可以這么說。
      
      克里斯托弗什么都沒說,決定讓他獨(dú)自待一會兒,因?yàn)樗X得他難過的時(shí)候就想一個(gè)人待著,所以他以為爸爸也像他一樣。
      
      爸爸流淚,是因?yàn)榭死锼雇蟹虿欢盟那楦邪?,克里斯托弗的腦海中,一切事物皆有規(guī)律及邏輯,他理解的情緒也只有四種:高興、難過、生氣和專注。所以爸爸傷心了,因?yàn)樗o克里斯托弗做飯,給他洗衣,每周末陪他,生病了照顧他,帶他去看醫(yī)生,每次擔(dān)心他半夜出去游蕩,每次他在學(xué)校打架就得去學(xué)校,可是這一切,克里斯托弗全都理解不了,他理解不了這是愛!
      
      人總是希望付出就有所回報(bào),許多時(shí)候,在我們自己的日常生活中,每當(dāng)你疲憊不堪的時(shí)候,回到家看到自己孩子天真無邪的笑容,就會覺得一天的勞累都不值什么,還有什么比孩子的笑更令人安慰呢?可是克里斯托弗給不了爸爸這些,特別是當(dāng)爸爸獨(dú)自一人承擔(dān)著妻子離他而去的時(shí)候。。。
      
      最后,當(dāng)克里斯托弗不再信任爸爸的時(shí)候,爸爸說:克里斯托弗。。。。。。我們不能再這么繼續(xù)下去。我不知道你是什么感覺,但這。。。。。。這對我來說太痛苦。你明明在家卻不肯跟我說話。。。。。。你必須試著相信我。。。。。。我不在乎要花多長時(shí)間。。。。。。即使今天一分鐘,明天兩分鐘,后天三分鐘,花上多少年我都不在乎。因?yàn)檫@很重要,比其他任何事情都重要。
      
      看到這里,淚如雨下。。。。。
      
      即使克里斯托弗從來不曾理解過他,但他一直都沒有放棄??!
      
      
  •      讀完雖然不會回味良久,但是總有一兩個(gè)情節(jié)讓你久久不能忘懷,那么基本上這本書是值得一讀的。
      
       大人學(xué)小孩子說話是一件非常難做的事情。這本書是目前我讀到的這類型的書中比較好的一本,還有就是《窗邊的小豆豆》,也是很出彩的。
      
       把他和魯迅先生翻譯的《小約翰》相比,雖然都是兒童書,但是題材完全不同。這一類型的書是否能吸引人的關(guān)鍵就在于作者的語言是不是真的和兒童一樣。正因?yàn)檫@樣,小約翰我看了一半就棄了,我覺得很大的原因是魯迅先生翻譯那么艱澀難懂,小孩子的天真爛漫全部沒有表現(xiàn)出來,該書亦真亦幻的精髓全部消失了。
      
       總之,一個(gè)15歲的特殊天才少年的一場所謂的探案和冒險(xiǎn),整本書看下來,能讓我記下來的就是他偉大的父母,尤其是他的爸爸;以及那些我看到就自動(dòng)忽略的各種嘮嘮叨叨的數(shù)字和數(shù)學(xué)題目。有人說這本書過分瑣碎,其實(shí)是作為不是天才少年的我們,看書的時(shí)候受了那些數(shù)字的干擾,我看到一半的時(shí)候已經(jīng)學(xué)會了選擇性的忽略。
      
       這個(gè)小朋友,真是nagging,talented,kind of super weird.
      
      
      
      
      
      以下是一些我覺得有意思的摘抄:
      
      “ 質(zhì)數(shù)無法套用任何數(shù)學(xué)模式。我覺得質(zhì)數(shù)就像生命。它們非常有邏輯,但即使花上一輩子的時(shí)間去思考,你也無法找出其中的規(guī)律。”(p17)

       “我回答:可是我不覺得傷心。因?yàn)閶寢屢呀?jīng)死了,希爾斯先生也不住在附近了。我要是為了不真實(shí)或不存在的事傷心,那就太可笑了。”(p93)
      
      
      
       “這說明人們有時(shí)候是自愿受騙,而并不想知道事實(shí)。
      
       這也說明奧卡姆剃刀原理是正確的,愛卡姆剃刀原理和男人用來剃須的剃刀沒有半點(diǎn)關(guān)系,它是一條法則:
      
       Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem
      
       這是拉丁文,意思是:
      
       如無必要,勿增實(shí)體。
      
       也就是說,謀殺案的兇手通常都和被害人認(rèn)識,小精靈是用紙做的,人不能跟已死的人交談 ”(p111)
      
       【看到這的時(shí)候有些許的不明白,于是我去百度了奧卡姆剃刀的詳細(xì)意思:
      
       奧卡姆剃刀定律(Occam's Razor, Ockham'sRazor)又稱“奧康的剃刀”。奧卡姆剃刀定律,是由14世紀(jì)邏輯學(xué)家、圣方濟(jì)各會修士奧卡姆的威廉(William ofOccam,約1285年至1349年)提出。這個(gè)原理稱為“如無必要,勿增實(shí)體”,即“簡單有效原理”。(奧卡姆(Ockham)在英格蘭的薩里郡,那是他出生的地方。他在《箴言書注》2卷15題說“切勿浪費(fèi)較多東西去做用較少的東西同樣可以做好的事情?!蔽业牟糠衷谟谒诂F(xiàn)當(dāng)代的應(yīng)用,主要應(yīng)用于“如果對于同一現(xiàn)象有兩種不同的假說,我們應(yīng)該采取比較簡單的那一種?!薄?br />   
      
      
       “仰望星空時(shí),我們知道這些星星距離我們成百上千光年,有些甚至已經(jīng)不存在了。它們的光花了很長很長時(shí)間才到達(dá)地球,而在此期間,它們本身已經(jīng)消失或爆炸瓦解成紅矮星了。這些事實(shí)會讓人覺得自己很渺小,如果在生活中遇到了困難,不妨想想這些,你就會明白什么叫微不足道,意思就是產(chǎn)生的影響可以忽略不計(jì)?!保╬152)
      
      
      
  •     《深夜小狗神秘事件》是本不錯(cuò)的書,但要看怎么去讀,如果指望看到一個(gè)好故事,那么這顯然不是一個(gè)非常精彩的故事。似乎這比較符合另一類作品:大學(xué)時(shí),作為藝術(shù)類院校,其實(shí)大家接觸最多的就是各種新奇的概念,通過各種方式來觸發(fā)各自感受。比如其中我們接觸到了安迪·沃霍爾的“神作”《帝國大廈》,這片子如果你去看,你會瘋掉,但轉(zhuǎn)念一想,確實(shí)有其存在的價(jià)值。從早到晚把攝影機(jī)對著帝國大廈的尖頂拍了8小時(shí)(實(shí)際是拍了6小時(shí)),沒怎么動(dòng)過攝影機(jī)。如果有人能真的看下來,會體會到很多東西,比如會感到無聊和空虛,進(jìn)而開始思考自己為什么要看這電影,然后開始想自己是不是活在電影里,甚至懷疑這個(gè)世界是否存在,絕望等等。一個(gè)幾乎沒有改變的觀察方式,反而使得人們會為此來思考很多東西。期待有改變,又不知道改變后會怎樣,逐漸產(chǎn)生對現(xiàn)有狀態(tài)的依賴,出現(xiàn)改變后又有所震驚或者恐慌,例如《帝國大廈》這片子里亮燈的那一瞬間給人帶來的驚喜,打破長時(shí)間的沉寂,以及隨后更加強(qiáng)烈的想離開但又擔(dān)心會錯(cuò)過“更好”情節(jié)從而一直堅(jiān)持幾小時(shí)的復(fù)雜心態(tài),是不是有點(diǎn)……患了“斯德哥爾摩綜合癥”的味道?雖然安迪拍這個(gè)東西可能更多的只是為了一種圖式,一種心理學(xué)方面的“試驗(yàn)”。
      
      本書里的男主人公神經(jīng)過于敏感,還有很多非常奇特的觀察世界的方式,雖說是自閉癥的孩子,但其實(shí)很多都是我們普通人的某些感受的放大。比如說判斷吉日和兇日的方法,難道我們沒有過?例如隨意找一個(gè)什么東西,來個(gè)“點(diǎn)名點(diǎn)將點(diǎn)到哪個(gè)哪個(gè)就是XXX……”之類的靠隨機(jī)事件來判斷一天運(yùn)氣的方法,或者在方格本上寫作業(yè),由于太無聊而采用碰壁即轉(zhuǎn)向的“彈球”寫法。
      
      這樣的孩子,怎么說呢?關(guān)鍵看你怎么對他,因?yàn)樗凶约旱氖澜?,自己的?jié)奏。順毛摸就是個(gè)順毛驢,怎么著都好,乖得要命;逆毛摸,就是個(gè)犟毛驢,怎么著都不好,怪的要命。
      
      所以,這本書……是一頭未成年毛驢被各種摸毛后的自述。
  •     活在自己的世界里,有自己對世界的理解和定義,你看著他,好像隔著高深的透明圍墻,看得見他的行為,卻不懂他的內(nèi)心,他們是星星的孩子。他們看上去特別脆弱,沒有你活不下去,可有時(shí)候也會有暴力傾向,做這樣的孩子的父母,會覺得特別累特別有壓力,而且似乎得不到回報(bào)?;蛟S,正因?yàn)槿绱耍@本《深夜小狗神秘習(xí)題》才更顯得如此可貴,不是質(zhì)數(shù)的章節(jié)排序,天才的數(shù)學(xué)證明有多酷,而是這樣一個(gè)自閉男孩的成長是多么的了不起,在他不被人所了解的內(nèi)心世界,其實(shí)是多么的豐富,多么單純又堅(jiān)強(qiáng),這證明,或許在很多時(shí)候,是我們太不自我,活得太不誠實(shí)。
  •     孤獨(dú)的午后時(shí)分
      大概是在一個(gè)星期前的一個(gè)百無聊賴的下午,總覺的自己應(yīng)該做點(diǎn)什么,就點(diǎn)開了心理認(rèn)知學(xué)的網(wǎng)易公開課,第一節(jié)課是簡略的介紹,老師向大家推薦了許多的圖書,其中最后一本,就是《深夜小狗神秘事件》。我還記得當(dāng)時(shí)的教授說這并不是一本傳統(tǒng)意義上的心理學(xué)讀物,而是作者以一個(gè)自閉者小孩的角度,觀察世界,并記錄生活的半自傳體小說。抱著好奇的態(tài)度,我讀了這本書。這是起因。
      不得不承認(rèn),我的智商不高,因此在整個(gè)閱讀過程中,相對而言,有些吃力:因?yàn)槲医?jīng)常會弄不懂小孩的心理和謎題的奧秘,往往會陷入死胡同,而不能自拔地繼續(xù)思考著他的理論,直到有一天我發(fā)現(xiàn),他所謂的邏輯,只是個(gè)人的一種強(qiáng)烈偏好。
      這就好比社會,當(dāng)一些團(tuán)體或者組織設(shè)定了相應(yīng)的規(guī)范或者制度需要遵守的時(shí)候,人們往往會主觀意義上趨勢自己服從這樣的制度。而我,在讀這本書的時(shí)候,也的確這樣了。
      讀到第97章的時(shí)候,我完全被這種邏輯束縛,仿佛一定要解開他的謎團(tuán),一定要按照他的邏輯思考,我被自己的想法所束縛了。
      當(dāng)然,一本好書,是會產(chǎn)生這樣的具有魔力的強(qiáng)烈代入感的。
      
      孤獨(dú)的如廁者
      我往往會覺得,衛(wèi)生間是最適合一個(gè)人看書消遣的。因?yàn)檫@里不僅僅可以有個(gè)絕不會被外人打擾、相對密閉的享受環(huán)境,同時(shí)也是身體最為放松的時(shí)候。我一直這樣做,并且認(rèn)為,那個(gè)時(shí)候的我,如果暢通無阻,當(dāng)時(shí)那本手里的書一定會消化更多。這種行為就好像小主人公評判上吉日的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)一樣,看似沒有邏輯。
      那天,我在“熏陶”下陷入了一個(gè)沒有答案的僵局:
      你親眼看到的,就一定是真的么?
      嘴上說相信了,內(nèi)心就真的會相信么?
      如果所有人都這樣說,但都不這樣想,那么真正的群體意識就被完全掩埋,人云亦云出現(xiàn),所以第一個(gè)人的說法很重要。
      但是往往第一個(gè)人的說法會考慮到其他人的想法,因此他說的不一定是他想要表達(dá)的。如果此時(shí)有人站出來反對,也不一定是真的反對,也有可能是為了彰顯差異性而刻意標(biāo)新立異。
      那么,怎么區(qū)分人是不是在說真話呢?
      如果一個(gè)人相信自己說的假話是真話,那么他所說的假話是真話么?
      我有點(diǎn)想不通了。
      
  •       這是一個(gè)與眾不同的孩子的歷險(xiǎn)故事。他在數(shù)學(xué)方面天賦異稟,然而缺乏正常孩子的社會交往能力。幸運(yùn)的是,爸媽都很愛他。不幸的是,這個(gè)殘酷的現(xiàn)實(shí)社會,所給予他的生存空間如此有限。
        看的時(shí)候一直在想,我們在社會交往的過程里,究竟能夠允許個(gè)人多大的自由。很多時(shí)候,我們需要得體的謊言,必要的遮掩來維護(hù)社會關(guān)系的正常??墒菍τ谝粋€(gè)缺乏這方面能力的孩子呢,這時(shí)候就尤為需要來自他人的寬容與理解了。
        故事的發(fā)展令人心酸不已,能給予這個(gè)孩子愛與保護(hù)的雙親,卻不得不始終處于愛與傷害的漩渦中,讓人扼腕不已。他們必須適應(yīng)兩種規(guī)則,孩子自身的規(guī)則和社會環(huán)境的規(guī)則,始終夾在這種矛盾的中心,有些悲劇的發(fā)生也是難以避免的吧。最讓人動(dòng)容的也是那來自他們最毫無保留的愛,哪怕被孩子誤解,被世人無視。
        不禁想起雨人,麥兜。他們都是善良而不識世故的孩子,行走在世間會被現(xiàn)實(shí)的鋒芒刺傷,好在那有些愛,能夠形成堅(jiān)不可摧的防護(hù)。
        仔細(xì)想想,即使拋棄掉那些天賦才智,枉論感情能力的高低,每個(gè)孩子都已經(jīng)是爸媽眼前不可取代的存在。我們所得到的所享受的,都是這個(gè)世界上極少不要求你給予等量回報(bào)的情感。這讓人如何自知呢。
        如果可以選擇自我的閃光點(diǎn),我想,我更愿意是情感能力,而不是天賦才智。
  •     書,是一本好書,不過書裙上的介紹和簡介寫得太,太,太那個(gè)什么和這本書不相稱了。
      孩子不是縮小了的成人,
      每個(gè)人都是那么獨(dú)特
      想法類似的人更容易互相理解
      想法不同的人該如何相處,尤其當(dāng)你還非常愛他的時(shí)候。
      
  •     花了好久終于看完了,真的希望最后他的爸爸和媽媽能在一起,但現(xiàn)實(shí)終歸是現(xiàn)實(shí)。Love is so complicated such as the relationship bwtween his mum and dad, the relationship between his mum and her lover, his dad and Mrs.Shears and especially the relationship among the boy's famly members. At first, I love this boy, who is celever, while I am sacred as well as the feeling he scared his father in the end. And his good dream that almost everyone in the world died also frightened me.
      Hopefully, he will learn how to love or realise what is love when he was trying to learn how to trust his father.
  •     本來是購給小女的書,但我先翻了翻。老天,這哪里是各類書評中推薦的青少年讀物。
      以第一人稱視角寫的一本自閉小孩子的書,所以這不是一本兒童讀物,這是心理學(xué)小說或精神分析類小說,絕對不適青少年。當(dāng)然它是一本好書,我喜歡,但我不確定多大的孩子可以讀。建議成年人讀,當(dāng)然,現(xiàn)在書都是賣給孩子們的。成年人都很忙,沒空讀。
  •     我不會把它歸為懸疑,正如沒有人會把《小王子》歸為懸疑一樣。這是我近幾年來讀到的最好的書。此前的那些獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)和到處斷貨也許不說明什么。但,如果你對我們都曾經(jīng)經(jīng)歷過的、星空圖畫般絢爛的、簡單快樂的童年還有所向往,或者,你心底還有一塊溫柔和驕傲無人能夠碰觸的話,建議讀此書。我很久沒有對什么書“愛不釋手”了直到它。讀到一半的時(shí)候我已經(jīng)決定把它和《小王子》《小飛俠彼得潘》放在一起。
  •     其實(shí)還是挺喜歡讀童書的,比如純粹的童書《哈里波特》、《納尼亞傳奇》什么的,充滿了淳樸單純的善惡,Happy endings, 屏蔽一會兒成人世界的糾結(jié)與壓力;對于“偽童書”我也有興趣,當(dāng)然一開始不知道是“偽”的,也當(dāng)作童書那么開始了,直到讀完以后才知道,不是給小孩子看的,如《小王子》、《穿條紋衣服的男孩》,還有這本《深夜小狗神秘事件》。對于這本書的定位,英國人的理解可能更加到位一些,因?yàn)檫@本書獲得了2003年惠特布萊特(2006年起改為科斯塔獎(jiǎng))年度圖書獎(jiǎng)、小說獎(jiǎng)而不是童書獎(jiǎng)。當(dāng)然這本書也得過一些兒童小說獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng),而其中文版也是被當(dāng)做童書引進(jìn)的。
      書的封面充滿童趣,橙紅色的封面,輕松的字體,一只很史努比式漫畫的小狗。腰帶上最大的一行字是“這就是孩子眼中真正的世界”。書中展現(xiàn)的世界確實(shí)是非常真實(shí)的孩子世界,但是卻不是典型的孩子,而是一個(gè)自閉癥的孩子。書中對于這一點(diǎn)沒有明確指出,但是卻又有或明或隱的線索。很明顯的線索是故事的主人公15歲德克里斯托弗上的不是普通的學(xué)校,而是“特殊學(xué)?!?,學(xué)校里有孩子會“脫掉褲子后,直接在廁所地板上大小便,還想去吃自己的大便”,“人們經(jīng)常把我們學(xué)校的孩子稱作蠢貨、瘸子或者雜種”…… 而隱含的線索是克里斯托弗的性格、超能力和思維邏輯:他不愿意和任何陌生人有任何接觸,不能忍受甚至是父母的擁抱,討厭任何黃色和褐色的東西,對于黃色和褐色的食物必須要加紅色食用色素后才愿意食用…他的超能力包括超強(qiáng)的記憶力(“知道世界上所有國家及其首都的名稱,還知道7507以內(nèi)所有的質(zhì)數(shù)”),令人嘆為觀止的運(yùn)算能力以及極端嚴(yán)密的觀察;而他的思維邏輯是純科學(xué)和理性的,他從不撒謊,只認(rèn)事實(shí),不能體會人的表情傳達(dá)的情緒,不懂甚至鄙視大人們所謂的感情。這些都是非常典型的自閉癥癥狀。
      從某種意義上講,這個(gè)孩子的認(rèn)知沒有任何技術(shù)性錯(cuò)誤,但是這不符合普遍的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),因?yàn)槿藗冋J(rèn)為人作為一種社會動(dòng)物,缺乏所謂的“情商”被認(rèn)為是不能生存的,這也就導(dǎo)致了主人公被劃分到“特殊需要”人群。在這個(gè)極端甚至盲目強(qiáng)調(diào)“社會生存能力”、“處事技巧”的社會,人們追求的不再是事物的本質(zhì)而是一些摸不著抓不住的實(shí)用片段。作者一定是對于這個(gè)世界越來越荒唐的處事方式和邏輯厭煩透了,才通過一個(gè)“只認(rèn)實(shí)理”的自閉癥孩子來證明,其實(shí)世界上大多數(shù)復(fù)雜的事情是可以通過承認(rèn)和堅(jiān)持事實(shí)來正確解決的。
      故事的情節(jié)并不復(fù)雜,克里斯托弗發(fā)現(xiàn)鄰居家的小狗被殺,出于對于小狗的喜愛他鍥而不舍地追查兇手,戳穿了父親為了保護(hù)他而編造的謊言,進(jìn)而追出了母親失蹤的秘密并找回了母親。在完成這一系列復(fù)雜活動(dòng)的過程中,他沒有撒過一個(gè)謊,哪怕是善意的,也沒有運(yùn)用任何的“社會生存技巧”,甚至沒有主動(dòng)尋求過任何的幫助,而完全是用一個(gè)自閉癥孩子的自閉邏輯完成的,而且是近乎圓滿地完成了。這就證明事實(shí)邏輯是沒有問題的,這是主人公,或者是作者對于這個(gè)虛偽世界最有力的嘲笑。
      書中甚至用自閉癥邏輯解釋了很多深?yuàn)W的課題,如隱喻、宗教、時(shí)間、生態(tài)……都有理有據(jù),沒有任何破綻。而對于情感這樁主人公聲稱不存在的東西卻在一系列真實(shí)得讓人慎得慌的推理與平直敘述匯中貫穿了整個(gè)故事:父愛的隱忍與無奈,母愛的深沉與糾結(jié),愛情的矛盾與苦澀,師長的體貼與智慧,這一切在克里斯托弗看來都是可以用真實(shí)的事情來描述的——感情是完全可以不要廢話的。比起這個(gè)虛情泛濫、把“愛”掛在嘴上的世界,克里斯托弗充滿推理和邏輯的世界反而更加溫情安心。
      故事的附錄是對一道平面幾何題的完美論證,論證完畢,一切都圓滿,母親回來了,與父親的裂痕在慢慢彌合,我——克里斯托弗證明了自己,也證明了生活不是像他們說的那樣是一道用公里解不開的習(xí)題。從這種隱喻上來講,五六年前本書老版本的名字《深夜小狗神秘習(xí)題》也未嘗不是一種到位的解讀。
      從我成人的角度看,這個(gè)故事太美、太細(xì)膩、太攝人心魄。我不知道從一個(gè)孩子的角度怎么看,是不是會別有一番風(fēng)景呢?或許過幾年讀給孩子聽聽,看他怎么說。
      
      
  •     暗自慶幸不是一本無病呻吟的書,不愧微博上的各種評價(jià),《深夜小狗神秘事件》的確是本好書。隱約想起之前看的電影《雨人》。都是講自閉癥患者的。其實(shí)現(xiàn)實(shí)都有無以規(guī)避的苦楚,誰堅(jiān)持自己多一點(diǎn),誰愛人多一點(diǎn),誰就贏了。就像平時(shí)對自己總是很寬容,沾染了不少世俗氣,很難再回歸一種單純了。小男孩媽媽說他從不說謊,因?yàn)樗莻€(gè)好孩子??尚∧泻⒄f我從不說謊,因?yàn)槲也恢廊绾握f謊。他覺得人們很可笑,因?yàn)槠鋵?shí)那就只是幾顆星星,人們卻說那是射手座、獵戶座,你按不同的方式排列,我還可以說它是番茄座呢。刺人,可是事實(shí)不是么。小男孩說人們從來不會仔細(xì)地觀察,人們只會說這是一片草原,有幾只奶牛??墒撬吹矫款^奶牛身上的花紋,看到多數(shù)奶牛都面朝上坡方向,有13種野花,遠(yuǎn)處還有多少座房子。所以他不能同時(shí)看太多新事物,聽到太多聲音,因?yàn)槟X子會不夠用。不能思考讓他害怕。地鐵、火車、商場,他的胸腔里像裝又鼓脹的氣球,會想吐。所以他呻吟來蓋過耳機(jī)的噪音??墒窃谄渌丝磥磉@就是有問題。人們看到的是縮在墻角里亂叫的孩子,是拿著瑞士軍刀狂野的暴力少年……世界永遠(yuǎn)是這樣,永遠(yuǎn)都不缺乏看問題的角度。
      自閉癥兒童通常都有某種出色的才能。因?yàn)閷W?,他們的想法有種透徹的清醒。我覺得不能強(qiáng)制所有人都去理解,畢竟這又不是1+1。你必須承認(rèn)并容忍這個(gè)世界有狹隘、甚至骯臟,才會獲許真善美。疾病也并非一種標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。其實(shí)在另一群人眼中,所謂的正常人才是不知所何的啥子。人們定義了太多東西,也去強(qiáng)求了很多。可就像信任一樣,爸爸辛辛苦苦了多少年,小男孩還是因?yàn)樗豢衫斫獾囊恍┦虑槎x擇逃離。愛是多脆弱。
      看到爸爸長久地坐在房門外,小男孩用床頂住了房門,堅(jiān)決不說話,會很心酸。在這個(gè)角度,他是個(gè)耐心、值得敬佩的父親,可在另一個(gè)世界,他卻永遠(yuǎn)都得不到救贖。
      自閉與否并不是關(guān)鍵,關(guān)鍵是我們是否能遵循自身世界的秩序,我們是否對自己忠誠。有時(shí)總會想起自己的爸爸。記得初中時(shí)有一次我在院里墻上寫了一道物理題。然后爸一直提問我,記得當(dāng)時(shí)我哭得翻云覆雨,因?yàn)槲液ε隆N蚁霝槭裁床徽撛鯓幽愣家嘉?,我怕答不上來挨罵??墒鞘潞蟀忠埠苡魫灒f他只是因?yàn)橐姽た荚?,所以?fù)習(xí)一下。其實(shí)他是不懂在問我。那一刻,我定了一下。我從來不懂為何偏見能如此深遠(yuǎn)而長久。可又是誰的錯(cuò)呢?這是世界,永遠(yuǎn)需要有人先邁一步,否則人與人之間只會是隔著億萬光年的銀河,越離越遠(yuǎn)。計(jì)較愛的先后與多少,就不叫愛了。溫柔的對人,也一定會被人溫柔地對待;你若殘忍,也終有一天被人殘忍的對待。這世間有種冥冥中的公平,我選擇相信。
  •   非常感動(dòng),作者不是在塑造一個(gè)偉大的父親,而是在寫一個(gè)真實(shí)的爸爸。真的,爸爸不該殺掉威靈頓,他有錯(cuò),他像克里斯托弗說謊,不讓他見媽媽,他有錯(cuò)。可他是世界上最愛克里斯托弗的人,他承認(rèn)自己的錯(cuò)誤,用盡辦法跟那個(gè)冷漠的孩子接觸,想重新獲得他的信任。
