给大家推荐几本书

不好意思最近我有点懒，没更新博客。最近我在忙着整理电子书。无论是纸质书还是电子书，都是很多买了但放在那里还没看，我这个喜欢囤东西的习惯很不好。

因为疫情，有很多人觉得大多数时间在家所以很无聊，觉得没有生活趣味。即使我知道我接下来说的话会冒犯很多人，但我还是要说。很多人觉得在家无聊，那是他们的人生本来就无聊，他们无法享受一个人的时间。当你有固定的爱好（不是那种睡觉，逛街购物的爱好），我指的是有持续的能够让你有长远产生深度愉悦感的爱好（这里请自行上网查下心理学概念“心流”），就不需要一天到晚都要有人陪和进行一些无效社交。

好了，我吐槽了这么一大段之后，说说我最近看的书。一本书是讲武瞾的，中国惟一的女皇，我看的是中文版，就是翻译的。作者是美国人。一般来说我看英文书都是看原版，但涉及中国历史的除外，因为看用英语写的版本我在自己脑子里还要把英语翻译成中文再去想那个词的中文是什么就显得很麻烦，不如看中文来得直接。这本书是我看过写武瞾写的最客观的书，终于有人不再因为她是女性而对她有那么多不公平的评论。（书本的链接我会放在文章最后）

另一本我想看但一直没有看完的是《百年孤独》，这本书很经典，可以说是在全世界都非常有名的一本书，我中学的时候看过一点点中文版（那时候我还没开始学西班牙语），但就算是中文我也看得很费劲。我有朋友跟我说，这本书你必须要有一定程度的生活阅历才能看懂。最近把这本书的西班牙语原版翻出来，准备认真看一遍。

（我本来想着把博客的中文内容写得简单点，但我后来觉得我就按自己喜欢的方式写才更接近真实的，生活里的文章，看不懂不要紧，坚持下来，学习从来就不是一个短暂的过程，慢慢看多了也就看懂了。）

Recommendation of books

I'm sorry I'm a bit lazy recently and I haven't updated my blog. Recently I am busy organizing e-books. Whether it’s paper books or e-books, I bought a lot but I haven’t read them yet. My habit of hoarding things is very bad.

Because of the epidemic, many people feel bored at home most of the time, and feel that there is no joy in life. Even if I know that what I am going to say next will offend many people, I still have to say it. Many people find it boring staying at home, because their lives are already boring, and they cannot enjoy their time alone. When you have a fixed hobby (not that kind of hobby like sleeping, shopping and shopping), I mean having a hobby that can make you have a deep sense of pleasure in the long-term (please check the psychological concept "flow" online), there is no need for someone to be accompanied all the time or engage in some ineffective social interactions all day long.

Okay, after making complaints for a long time, I will talk about the books I read recently. A book is about Wuzhao, the only empress of China. I read the Chinese version, which is translated. The author is an American. In general, I read English books from the original version, except for those involving Chinese history, because when I read the English version of Chinese history, I still have to translate English into Chinese in my mind and then think about the Chinese of that word and it would be annoying. It is better to read Chinese history in Chinese directly. This book is the most objective book I have ever read written by Wuzhao. Finally, there is a writer who doesn’t make so many unfair comments about her just because she is a woman. (I will put the link of the book at the end of the article)

Another book I want to read but I haven’t finished reading is "One Hundred Years of Solitude". This book is very classic. It can be said that it is a very famous book worldwide. I read the Chinese version a little bit when I was in high school (that I hadn't started learning Spanish at that time), but even in Chinese I found it very hard to read. A friend of mine told me that you must have gained some life experience to understand this book. I recently took out the original Spanish version of this book and I am going to read it carefully.

(I wanted to make the Chinese content of the blog simpler, but later I felt that I would just write the way I like, and made the passage look closer to what we really read in real life. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the article now. Keep reading, learning is never a short-term process. Slowly but keep reading then you will find yourself understand more.)
