科幻类

2 B R 0 2 B 

by Kurt Vonnegut

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court 

by Mark Twain

A Little Journey 

by Ray Bradbury

"For one thing," she said aloud to no one, "it isn't quite the land of milk and honey here on Mars that they said it would be. My room is like a cell, the swimming pool is really quite inadequate, and, besides, how many widows who look like mushrooms or skeletons want to swim?

《一次小小的旅行》

[美]雷·布拉德伯里

Anthem 

by Ayn Rand

I know not if this earth on which I stand is the core of the universe or if it is but a speck of dust lost in eternity. I know not and I care not. For I know what happiness is possible to me on earth. And my happiness needs no higher aim to vindicate it. My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end.

《一个人》

[美] 安·兰德

我不知道，我所立足于其上的这个地球，究竟是宇宙的核心，抑或只不过是迷失在永恒中的一粒微尘。我不知道，我也不在乎。因为我知道在这个地球上，对我而言，什么样的幸福是可能的。我的幸福不需要更高的目标去证明它的正确。我的幸福不是通往任何尽头的手段。它就是尽头。

Armageddon—2419 A.D. 

by Philip Francis Nowlan

I awoke to find the America I knew a total wreck—to find Americans a hunted race in their own land, hiding in the dense forests that covered the shattered and leveled ruins of their once magnificent cities, desperately preserving, and struggling to develop in their secret retreats, the remnants of their culture and science—and the undying flame of their sturdy independence.

《公元2419世界末日》

[美]菲利普·弗朗西斯·诺兰

我醒来后发现，我所认识的美国已完全崩溃，美国人在自己的土地上成了一个被猎杀的种族，他们躲藏在密林中，密林覆盖着他们曾经辉煌的城市被摧毁和夷平的废墟，拼命地保护和发展他们的秘密隐居地，他们的文化和科学的残余，以及他们坚定独立的永恒火焰。

For even a Sphere—which is my proper name in my own country—if he manifest himself at all to an inhabitant of Flatland—must needs manifest himself as a Circle.

[英]埃德温·A·艾勃特

一个球——这是我在我们国家的名称——如果想把自己展示给平面国的居民，那就必须是以一个圆的样子。

From the Earth to the Moon

by Jules Verne

Nothing can astound an American. It has often been asserted that the word “impossible” is not a French one. People have evidently been deceived by the dictionary. In America, all is easy, all is simple; and as for mechanical difficulties, they are overcome before they arise.

《从地球到月球》

[法]儒尔·凡尔纳

没有什么可以让美国人感到惊讶。人们常说法语里没有“不可能”这个单词，他们肯定是弄错字典了。在美国，一切都很容易，一切都很简单，至于一些机械上的难题，往往是还没产生就被预先解决了。

Herland

their legends all agreed on the main point—that there was this strange country where no men lived—only women and girl children. None of them had ever seen it. It was dangerous, deadly, they said, for any man to go there.

《她的国》

[美]夏洛特·珀金斯·吉尔曼

没人亲眼瞧过那个国家，他们说男人去那里是很危险的，甚至会送命。

In Search of the Unknown 

by Robert W. Chambers

I heard the seething currents under the breakers' softened thunder—louder than I ever heard it. Then, as I closed my window, lingering for a last look at the crawling tide, I saw a man standing, ankle-deep, in the surf, all alone there in the night. But—was it a man?

《寻找未知》

[美]罗伯特·威廉·钱伯斯

我听到浪花下沸腾的水流发出的轻微的雷声比我听到的任何时候都要大。然后，当我关上窗户，留恋着最后一眼缓缓升起的潮水时，我看到一个人在夜晚独自站在脚踝深的海浪中。但那是一个人吗？

Islands of Space 

by Jr. John W. Campbell

The ship filled with the strain of flowing energy, and sparks snapped in the air of the control room as they raced at an inconceivable speed through the darkness of intergalactic space.

But suddenly, far off to their left and far to their right, they saw two shining ships paralleling their course!

《星空之岛》

[美]小约翰·W·坎贝尔

飞船充满了流动的能量，当他们以不可思议的速度在银河系空间的黑暗中奔跑时，控制室的空气中迸发出火花。但突然间，在他们左边和右边很远的地方，他们看到两条闪亮的船平行行驶！

A Journey into the Interior of the Earth 

by Jules Verne

Science, my lad, has been built upon many errors; but they are errors which it was good to fall into, for they led to the truth.

《地心游记》

[法]儒尔·凡尔纳

科学本身包含着很多错误，不过这些错误并不是坏事，因为它会慢慢引向真理。

Little Fuzzy

《外星小毛毛》

[美]亨利·比姆·派珀

他迅速转过身，看见了两个大睁着的眼睛正从一团金色毛毛里向上盯着他看。不管它是什么，它有着圆圆的脑袋、大大的耳朵、一张有点儿类似人类的面孔和一个蒜头鼻。

Looking Backward, 2000 to 1887 

by Edward Bellamy

Human history, like all great movements, was cyclical, and returned to the point of beginning. The idea of indefinite progress in a right line was a chimera of the imagination, with no analogue in nature.

《回顾：公元2000-1887年》

[美]爱德华·贝拉米 

人类的历史正如一切伟大的运动一样，循环不息，周而复始。有人认为历史是直线似的向前发展，永无止境，但这种看法只是幻想，实际上并无实例。

Metamorphosis 

by Franz Kafka

One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin.

Omega: The Last days of the World 

by Camille Flammarion

Inexorably, with a fatality no power could arrest, like a projectile speeding from the mouth of a cannon toward the target, the comet continued to advance, following its appointed path, and hurrying, with an ever-increasing velocity, toward the point in space at which the earth would be found

《世界末日记》

[法]卡米伊·弗拉马里翁

不可避免的是，没有任何力量可以阻止彗星的致命性，就像一颗从大炮口向目标飞去的炮弹一样，彗星继续沿着指定的路径前进，并以越来越快的速度向太空中发现地球的地点飞去

Planet of the Damned 

by Harry Harrison

As with all of the other sciences, we have found out that the more we know, the more there is to know. We no longer attempt to guide cultures towards what we consider a beneficial goal. There are too many goals, and from our limited vantage point it is hard to tell the good[Pg 23] ones from the bad ones. 

《诅咒之星》

[美]哈里·哈里森

与所有其他科学一样，我们发现，我们知道的越多，就越需要知道。我们不再试图引导文化走向我们认为有益的目标。目标太多了，从我们有限的优势来看，很难区分好的和坏的。

Second Variety

The war,for all practical purposes, was g effective opposed them. And then the first claws appeared. And overnight the complexion of thewar changed.

Space Prison 

by Tom Godwin

In the silence following the ultimatum she could hear the soft, wordless murmur from the other compartments, the undertone of anxiety like a dark thread through it. In every compartment parents and children, brothers and sisters, were seeing one another for the last time

《太空监狱》

[美]汤姆·戈德温

在最后通牒发出后的沉默中，她可以听到其他隔间发出轻微的无法分辨的低语，焦虑的低调就像一条黑线穿过它。在每个车厢里，父母和孩子，兄弟姐妹，见互相最后一面

Star Surgeon

Moments before, one of Earth's great hospital ships had landed, returning from a cruise deep into the heart of the galaxy, bringing in the gravely ill from a dozen star systems for care in one of Earth's hospitals.

片刻之前，地球上一艘伟大的医疗舰已经着陆，它从深入银河系中心返航，将十几个恒星系统的重病患者带到地球的一家医院接受治疗。

The Big Trip Up Yonder 

by Kurt Vonnegut

most of the world's ills can be traced to the fact that Man's knowledge of himself has not kept pace with his knowledge of the physical world.

《遥远之旅》

[美]库尔特·冯内古特

世界上大多数的弊病都可以追溯到这样一个事实，即人类对自己的认识没有跟上对物质世界的认识。

The Colors of Space 

by Marion Zimmer Bradley

Do you wish to be wakened for the time we shall spend in each of the three star systems, sir? You can, of course, be given enough drug to keep you in cold-sleep until we reach your destination.

《太空的颜色》

[美]玛丽昂•齐默•布拉德利

先生，您愿意为我们在三个恒星系统中的每一个系统中度过的时间而被唤醒吗？当然，在我们到达目的地之前，你可以服用足够的药物，使你处于冷睡眠状态。

The Cosmic Computer

by H. Beam Piper

There are incredible things still undiscovered; most of the important installations were built in duplicate as a precaution against space attack. I know where all of them are. But I could find nothing, not one single word, about any giant strategic planning computer called Merlin!

《宇宙电脑》

[美]亨利·比姆·派珀

还有一些令人难以置信的事情尚未被发现；大多数重要设施都是重复建造的，以防太空袭击。我知道他们都在哪里。但我找不到任何一台叫做Merlin的巨型战略规划计算机，一个字也找不到！

The Eyes Have It 

by Philip K. Dick

The eyes had clearly come apart from the rest of him and were on their own. My heart pounded and my breath choked in my windpipe. I had stumbled on an accidental mention  of a totally unfamiliar race.

《眼见为实》

[美]菲利普·迪克

他的眼睛显然已经脱离了他的其他部分，只能靠自己了。我的心怦怦直跳，无法呼吸。我曾偶然提到一个完全陌生的比赛。

The Food of the Gods

by H. G. Wells

The course of science is so tortuous and so slow; after the clear promises and before the practical realisation arrives there comes almost always year after year of intricate contrivance, and here—here was the Foods of the Gods arriving after less than a year of testing! It seemed too good—too good.

《诸神的食粮》

[英]赫伯特·乔治·威尔斯

科学的进程是如此曲折和缓慢；在明确的承诺之后，在实际实现之前，几乎总是需要年复一年的复杂研发，而现在不到一年的实验就得到了上帝的食物！它看上去太好了，实在是太好了。

《孤悬的陌生人》

[美]菲利普·迪克

为什么？那个人是谁？他为什么挂在那里？这意味着什么？而且--为什么没有人注意到？

The Invisible Man

by H. G. Wells

To do such a thing would be to transcend magic. And I beheld, unclouded by doubt, a magnificent vision of all that invisibility might mean to a man—the mystery, the power, the freedom. Drawbacks I saw none.

《隐形人》

[英]赫伯特·乔治·威尔斯

做这样的一件事几乎是超越魔法的。拨开迷雾，我发现隐身术能给予一个人梦寐以求的东西——神秘、权力和自由。至于弊病呢，我根本看不到。

The Island of Doctor Moreau 

by H. G. Wells

By this time I was no longer very much terrified or very miserable. I had, as it were, passed the limit of terror and despair. I felt now that my life was practically lost, and that persuasion made me capable of daring anything.

《莫罗博士的岛》

[英] 赫伯特·乔治·威尔斯

这时候，我不再是那么惊恐或那么可怜了。正如所发生的那样，我已经度过了恐惧和绝望的极限。现在我觉得，实际上我已失去了生命。正是这一种信念，使我能够敢于面对一切，冒一切风险

《阿普托的珠宝》

the land that time forget

by Edgar Rice Burroughs

we have learned not to fire at any of the dinosaurs unless we can keep out of their reach for at least two minutes after hitting them in the brain or spine,or five minutes after puncturing their hearts--it takes them so long to die.

《被时间遗忘的土地》

[美]埃德加·赖斯·巴勒斯

我们已经学会了不向任何恐龙开火，除非我们能在击中它们的大脑或脊椎后至少两分钟，或者在刺穿它们的心脏后至少五分钟，不让它们逮到--它们需要这么长时间才能死掉。

The Last Man

some romantic village,some cottage,or elegant abode there situated, inhabited by the lovely and the good,rose before my mental sight, and the question haunted me, is the plague there also?

《最后的人》

那里有一个浪漫的村庄，一座小屋，或是一个优雅的居所，居住着可爱和善良的人们，在我的脑海中浮现出来，而这个问题困扰着我，那里也有瘟疫吗？

The Lost World

by Arthur Conan Doyle

Was it hardness, was it selfishness, that she should ask me to risk my life for her own glorification? Such thoughts may come to middle age; but never to ardent three-and-twenty in the fever of his first love.

《失落的世界》

[英]阿瑟·柯南·道尔

是冷酷？还是自私？她的荣耀竟要以我的生命为代价？而立之年的人或许会生此疑心，但却绝然不会是那迸发着初恋火焰的二十三岁的灵魂。

The Marching Morons 

by C. M. Kornbluth

Some generations ago, the geneticists realized at last that nobody was going to pay any attention to what they said, so they abandoned words for deeds. 

《行进的白痴》

The Monster Men 

by Edgar Rice Burroughs

As he dropped the last grisly fragment of the dismembered and mutilated body into the small vat of nitric acid that was to devour every trace of the horrid evidence which might easily send him to the gallows,the man sank weakly into a chair and throwing his body forward upon his great, teak desk buried his face in his arms, breaking into dry,moaning sobs.

The Moon Pool

by Abraham Merritt

And lively as my interest, my scientific curiosity, were—I was conscious suddenly of acute depression. Beautiful, wondrously beautiful this place was—and yet in its wonder dwelt a keen edge of menace, of unease—of inexplicable, inhuman woe; as though in a secret garden of God a soul should sense upon it the gaze of some lurking spirit of evil which some way, somehow, had crept into the sanctuary and only bided its time to spring.

《月池》

[美]亚伯拉罕·梅里特

尽管有个人兴趣和科学性探索精神在支撑着，我还是不免感受到一阵突然间急剧降临的压抑感。这个地方是如此的美丽，美得令人窒息——然而在如此美妙的地方，却时刻可以感到尖锐的威胁感和恐慌感，随处蕴藏着莫名其妙、泯灭人性的悲痛和灾难；这就好似身处上帝的秘密花园，你可以感觉到精怪就潜伏在你的身边，时时地盯着你。却不知它们用什么方式偷偷溜进了这圣洁之所，只待时机一到，便会随时出动。

The Night Land
