开卷即是硬伤，去查了下作者，果然是学文科出身的。没有科学素养就别拿科学术语来装逼了好吗

我真的没有吹毛求疵，只是去查了查读起来明显不对劲的地方。

I swiveled, targeted, and fired in one moment, hearing the gun go empty after one burst and seeing the second skimmer get off its missiles in the instant before it became a thousand pieces of hurtling, unrelated metal and torn flesh. 英文原文根本不必读第二遍，就绝对不会以为化成一千片的是火箭弹。顺手改一下：“我旋身、瞄准、开火，一气呵成，我听见一枪射出后，枪膛已空，我看见第二艘掠行艇爆成上千片四散疾飞的金属和模糊血肉，然而它此前已抢先一步发射了火箭弹。”

什么叫“背叛像名声一样”？译者和编辑读到这里，都不觉得奇怪吗？于是我去查了原书，发现是这样的： But when the time comes to judge, to understand a betrayal which will spread like *flame* across the Web, which will end worlds, l ask you not to think of me - my name was not even writ on water as your lost poet's soul said - but to think of Old Earth dying for no reason, to think of the dolphins, their gray flesh drying and rotting in the sun, to see - as I have seen - the motile isles with no place to wander, their feeding grounds destroyed, the Equatorial Shallows scabbed with drilling platforms, the islands themselves burdened with shouting, trammeling tourists smelling of UV lotion and cannabis. 我倒是有个OCR出来的盗版电子版，里面把flame搞成了fame，望天。至于这段的翻译，我能说很不确切吗？人家说的明明是： “但是，等评判的时刻来到，要想理解这场像火一样蔓延至整个环网，将会毁灭诸多世界的背叛，我请求你们不要考虑我——我的声名甚至不像你们那位长眠的诗人之魂所言那样书于水上——而要考虑旧地……” 说真的，译文里这种稍微一想就如鲠在喉的地方太多了。

太刻薄了——“大部分忠厚的人，智力总不太如人意。”哈哈哈哈啊哈哈
