What books are you reading right now?您最近在讀哪些書(shū)?
I’ve got a pile of books stacked on my night stand that I’m reading — or hoping to get to soon. I’m usually working on more than one at a time. So right now it’s “The Goldfinch,” by Donna Tartt; “Mom & Me & Mom,” by Maya Angelou; and “Missing You,” by Harlan Coben。在我床頭的桌子上放了一摞我正在讀和想要讀的書(shū)。我總是會(huì)同時(shí)看好幾本書(shū)。現(xiàn)在正在看的是唐娜·塔特的《金翅雀》、瑪雅·安吉羅的《媽媽?zhuān)液蛬寢尅芬约肮m·科本的《想念你》。
What was the last truly great book you read?上一本覺(jué)得非常好的書(shū)是什么?
I can’t stop thinking about “The Hare With Amber Eyes,” by Edmund de Waal; “The Signature of All Things,” by Elizabeth Gilbert; “Citizens of London,” by Lynne Olson; and “A Suitable Boy,” by Vikram Seth。讓我難以忘掉的有埃德蒙·德瓦爾的《琥珀眼睛的兔子》、伊麗莎白·吉爾伯特的《萬(wàn)物的簽名》、萊恩·奧爾森的《倫敦市民》和維克拉姆·塞斯《合適郎君》。
Who are your favorite contemporary writers? Are there any writers whose books you automatically read when they come out?您最喜歡的當(dāng)代作家是哪位?有沒(méi)有那樣一位作家，他只要出書(shū)您就會(huì)讀呢?
I will read anything by Laura Hillenbrand, Walter Isaacson, Barbara Kingsolver, John le Carré, John Grisham, Hilary Mantel, Toni Morrison, Anna Quindlen and Alice Walker. And I love series that follow particular characters over time and through their experiences, so I automatically read the latest installments from Alex Berenson, Linda Fairstein, Sue Grafton, Donna Leon, Katherine Hall Page, Louise Penny, Daniel Silva, Alexander McCall Smith, Charles Todd and Jacqueline Winspear。勞拉·希倫布蘭德、沃爾特·艾薩克森、芭芭拉。金索沃爾、約翰·勒·卡雷、約翰·格里森姆、希拉里·曼特爾、托尼莫里森、安娜·昆德蘭和艾麗斯·沃克等這些作家的所有書(shū)我都會(huì)讀。我比較喜歡那種講述某些人物長(zhǎng)期經(jīng)歷的系列小說(shuō)，所以亞歷克斯·貝倫森、琳達(dá)·費(fèi)爾史坦、蘇·格拉夫頓、唐娜·列昂、凱瑟琳霍爾佩奇、露意絲·佩妮、丹尼爾·西爾瓦、亞歷山大˙梅可˙史密斯、查爾斯·托德和杰奎琳·溫斯皮爾的書(shū)只要出新我就會(huì)買(mǎi)來(lái)看。
What are your favorite novels? Your favorite short stories? Poems you hold especially dear?您最喜歡的長(zhǎng)篇小說(shuō)、短篇小說(shuō)、詩(shī)歌有哪些?
“The Brothers Karamazov” made a lasting impression on me when I read it as a young woman; I intend to reread it this summer to see what I now think about it. My favorite short stories are by Alice Munro, especially her collections “CCarried Away” and “Runaway�！� That’s an easy choice for me compared with the many poets I’ve appreciated over time. Included in that list are E.E. Cummings, T.S. Eliot, Seamus Heaney, Pablo Neruda, Mary Oliver and W.B. Yeats. 《卡拉馬佐夫兄弟》給我的印象很深刻，我看這部小說(shuō)的時(shí)候還很年輕，我計(jì)劃今年夏天再讀一篇，看看現(xiàn)在的我會(huì)有什么新的體會(huì)。我最喜歡的短篇小說(shuō)家是艾麗絲·門(mén)羅，尤其是她的《忘乎所以》《逃離》等作品。詩(shī)人卡明斯、艾略特、謝默斯·希尼、巴勃羅·聶魯達(dá)、瑪麗·奧利弗和葉芝的詩(shī)歌我都很喜歡。
And the best books about Washington, D.C.? Is there one book you’d recommend to someone planning to move to or work in the capital?有關(guān)華盛頓最好的書(shū)是哪本?有沒(méi)有哪本書(shū)您想推薦給計(jì)劃來(lái)華盛頓工作的人?
“Our Divided Political Heart,” by E.J. Dionne, shows how most everybody has some conservative and liberal impulses, but just as individuals have to reconcile them within ourselves, so does our political system if we expect to function productively. “After the Music Stopped,” Alan Blinder’s account of the financial crisis, is clear in its analysis and recommendations。迪翁的《我們分裂的政治心》顯示了大多數(shù)普通人都有保守和自由的沖動(dòng)，但是就像我們每個(gè)人都得在內(nèi)心深處調(diào)和二者一樣，如果我們想讓政治體系有效運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，也要調(diào)和這二者。艾倫·布林德?tīng)柕摹兑魳?lè)停止之后》是對(duì)金融危機(jī)的描述，他的分析和建議非常清晰。
What do you like to read when you travel?您旅行的'時(shí)候喜歡讀什么書(shū)?
When I traveled as secretary of state, I was deluged with thick briefing books full of information about the politics, economy and culture of each destination, so those took up most of my reading time. But when I could, I’d read a novel or travelogue about the places I was visiting, such as “The House at Sugar Beach,” by Helene Cooper, about her childhood in Liberia, and “Finding George Orwell in Burma,” by Emma Larkin。任國(guó)務(wù)卿時(shí)，我在旅行期間要讀大量關(guān)于目的地的政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)和文化信息的簡(jiǎn)報(bào)，它們占據(jù)了我大部分的閱讀時(shí)間。但是只要有機(jī)會(huì)，我會(huì)讀我要去的地方的小說(shuō)或旅行見(jiàn)聞，比如海倫妮·庫(kù)珀講述她在西非利比里亞童年時(shí)代的《糖果海灘的家》以及艾瑪·拉金的《在緬甸尋找喬治·奧威爾》。
Is there one book you wish all students would read? 哪些書(shū)所有的學(xué)生都該讀一讀?
“Pride and Prejudice,” by Jane Austen; “Out of Africa,” by Isak Dinesen; “Schindler’s List,” by Thomas Keneally。奧斯汀的《傲慢與偏見(jiàn)》(、迪內(nèi)森的《走出非洲》、托馬斯·肯尼利的《辛德勒的名單》。
What kind of reader were you as a child? What were your favorite childhood books? And the books you weremost eager to pass along to your daughter? 您小時(shí)候是個(gè)怎樣的讀者?您童年時(shí)代最喜歡的書(shū)是什么?您最想傳給女兒的書(shū)是什么?
Oh, I was always reading something, from “Winnie-the-Pooh” to Nancy Drew to “Little Women” to James Michener. And I started reading to Chelsea with “Goodnight Moon” and “The Runaway Bunny” and “Curious George” and all the favorites which led her to make her own reading choices。我小時(shí)候總是在讀書(shū)，從《小熊維尼》、神探南茜、《小婦人》，到詹姆斯·米切納。我最早給女兒讀的是《晚安，月亮》、《離家的小兔》、《好奇的喬治》以及其他一些我喜歡的書(shū)，這些書(shū)引導(dǎo)她做出了自己的閱讀選擇。
If you had to name one book that made you who you are today, what would it be? 如果您必須選一本對(duì)造就現(xiàn)在的您影響最大的書(shū)，您會(huì)選哪本?
At the risk of appearing predictable, the Bible was and remains the biggest influence on my thinking. I was raised reading it, memorizing passages from it and being guided by it. I still find it a source of wisdom, comfort and encouragement. 雖然這么說(shuō)可能顯得很老套，但《圣經(jīng)》一直都是對(duì)我的思想影響最大的書(shū)。我從小就讀它，背它，按它的指導(dǎo)做事;現(xiàn)在仍然覺(jué)得它是我智慧、安慰和鼓勵(lì)的源泉。
Which books might we be surprised to find on your shelves? 您書(shū)架上的哪些書(shū)可能會(huì)讓我們覺(jué)得意外?
You might be surprised to see memoirs by Republicans such as “Decision Points,” by President George W. Bush, and “Faith of My Fathers,” by Senator John McCain. 你們可能不會(huì)想到我的書(shū)架上有共和黨人的回憶錄，比如布什的《抉擇時(shí)刻》和參議員約翰·麥凱恩的《父輩的信仰》。
What was the last book to make you laugh? 上一本讓您開(kāi)懷大笑的書(shū)是什么?
Janet Evanovich’s series about Stephanie Plum’s adventures in Trenton always makes me laugh. 珍妮特·伊萬(wàn)諾維奇關(guān)于斯芬蒂尼·普拉姆在特倫頓歷險(xiǎn)的系列故事總能讓我大笑。
You’re hosting a literary dinner party. Which three writers are invited? 如果舉辦一個(gè)文學(xué)晚宴，您會(huì)邀請(qǐng)哪三位作家?
I’d choose to have one guest for a long dinner: William Shakespeare. I’m curious to see who would show up and what he really wrote. 我只會(huì)邀請(qǐng)一位客人共進(jìn)一頓漫長(zhǎng)的晚餐：莎士比亞。我很好奇會(huì)有誰(shuí)出現(xiàn)以及他到底寫(xiě)了什么。
What books are you embarrassed not to have read yet? 有哪些書(shū)因?yàn)檫�沒(méi)讀過(guò)所以讓您覺(jué)得難為情?
I’m embarrassed to admit how many — so I won’t! But one example is Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time。” I’ve never made the time。要承認(rèn)究竟有多少書(shū)還沒(méi)讀過(guò)讓我很難為情，我不會(huì)!但是其中一本是普魯斯特的《追憶似水年華》，我一直沒(méi)騰出時(shí)間來(lái)讀它。
