The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads--so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand between the white killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation.
They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time traveler, who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vicepresident of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-head honcho of the Universe; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox.
How will it all end? Will it end? Only this stalwart crew knows as they try to avert "universal" Armageddon and save life as we know it--and don't know it!

《生命、宇宙以及一切》除了这版译文,还有一个民间翻译版(译者怪力乱神),只要稍微比对一下,就可发现怪力乱神的译文与原文亦步亦趋,跟得比较紧,而此版译文则下过心思,语感更佳。 譬如下面这个句子: It wasn’t just that the cave was cold, it wasn’t just that i...

太tm能扯了,看了四分之三,目前还是一头雾水,感觉情节是纯粹为讽刺而编造,像是长篇SNL。看完了,还是觉得比较无厘头,and this is all about how ridiculous of the organism fighting each other?

啊,这让我扶额摇头哞哞直笑的不着四六的英式幽默。很适合年初或者年底读的书,看到宇宙还是那么胡闹的一个草台班子,我欣慰又痛快。 Wowbagger给我提供了新思路:得了永生也不一定找得到一切的意义,不如按照字母表顺序一个个地造访全宇宙生物,并进行辱骂,直到宇宙自己回嘴、吐出答案来。 Marvin持续痛苦,据说痛苦有两类解决方法:治标之法是诉诸于艺术、宗教、哲学,治本之法是发疯、自杀、毁灭世界。简而言... 啊,这让我扶额摇头哞哞直笑的不着四六的英式幽默。很适合年初或者年底读的书,看到宇宙还是那么胡闹的一个草台班子,我欣慰又痛快。 Wowbagger给我提供了新思路:得了永生也不一定找得到一切的意义,不如按照字母表顺序一个个地造访全宇宙生物,并进行辱骂,直到宇宙自己回嘴、吐出答案来。 Marvin持续痛苦,据说痛苦有两类解决方法:治标之法是诉诸于艺术、宗教、哲学,治本之法是发疯、自杀、毁灭世界。简而言之就是:找到生命、宇宙和一切的意义或者是消灭产生意义的源头。后者似乎是更有趣点的。不过嘛……虽然毁灭宇宙麻烦又毫无意义,但当你真的着手于实现这项计划,看来宇宙也会采取点拙劣的自救。 (PS:ai时代人类再就业——给Marvin和Hactor这样的电脑做心理治疗。) (展开)
