P&P and zombies

上飞机之前正好看见书摊上摆着这本书,想起 Helen 提起过,于是拾起来翻了翻,第一句就是:

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.

(傲慢与偏见的原文是 It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.)

的确是一本 clever 且幽默的书。 Bennett 爸爸教给 Lizzy 和姐妹们的五角死阵 (the Pentagon of Death,好像是)杀 zombie 所向披靡,而 Mr. Darcy 的优越社会地位也来自他的剑术与火枪技巧高超,杀 zombie 名声远扬。书挺短的,有空借来看看。

过去曾经参加过一个书店的读书组,里面有俩小孩儿,所以对新潮流很通,介绍过一本幽默书 Zombie Survival Guide ,让我深感代沟。毕竟不是看着 George Romero, John Carpenter, Sam Raimi 电影长大的。

你要是读到作者给Charlotte, Mr. Collin, Wickman等人安排的结局,就再不会说奥斯汀judgemental啦。
