📖 The Hunger Games

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games," a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. A popular book that I highly recommend reading. A novel that always generates suspense in a dystopian world. The protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, is a great role model to all. Putting her family before herself showing selflessness and her actions throughout the stor y show that being courageous is important and essential to sur vival.

在曾经被称为"北美的废墟"上坐落着施惠国,施惠国是一个被12个边远地区环绕着的 高度发达的都城。很久以前,这些地区向都城发动了战争,并都被打败了。作为投降 条 件 之 一 , 每 个 地 区 必 须 派 出 一 名 男 孩 和 一 名 女 孩 参 加 一 个 名 为 " 饥 饿 游 戏 "(the Hunger Games)的年度电视活动,这是一场电视直播的生死搏斗。16岁的凯特尼斯· 伊夫狄恩(Katniss Everdeen)独自与母亲和妹妹住在一起。当她被迫代表自己的选区 参加这个比赛时,她认为这无异于判了死刑。观众参与的范围、规则和水平可能都会 改变,但有一件事是不变的:要么杀人,要么被杀。 我的推荐: 我极力推荐这本畅销书。一部总是在反乌托邦世界中制造悬念的小说。 主人公凯特尼斯·伊夫狄恩是所有人的伟大榜样。在整个故事中,她把家人放在自己之 前,表现出无私、无畏的精神。她的行为表明,勇敢是生存的重要且必要条件。

North America is gone, after droughts, floods, hurricanes, and other weather disasters that lead to the fall of the world as we know it today, but a new nation arises from the ashes, Panem. Panem consists originally of 13 districts and its Capitol, centered in the modern Rocky Mountains, and the 13 districts are spread out across the remains of North America with the distance that it is from the Capitol dictating how rich it is. In the First Rebellion, the 13 districts rebel against the Capitol, leading to a brutal war, with the complete eradication of the 13th District, and the Hunger Games. A national broadcasted show that is hosted annually with Tributes, a boy and a girl, from each of the 12 remaining districts, and with them competing against each other to the death. In the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss is especially surprised that her sister, Prim, out of the 8,000 or so inhabitants of District 12, is chosen to be one of the Tributes to compete in the Hunger Games. How could her sister, sweet as she is, compete in such a deadly competition, a competition renowned for its cruelty, and its brutality? As such, Katniss volunteers to take her sister's place, leading her to compete in the Games, with an old acquaintance, the young child that gave her bread once, Peeta. How will Katniss survive against the 23 other contestants? Will she let the Capitol use her as one of the pieces in their brutal game to display and project the Capitol's power upon the Districts? These are the questions that you will have answered in the wondrous book by Suzzanne Collins, the Hunger Games. This book is wholly recommended by me, and everyone else that will even get past the first sentence for it is a deep, adventurous tale making you feel as if you were next to Katniss when she is surviving the deadly arena known as the Hunger Games.

北美洲消失了,在经历了干旱、洪水、飓风和其他天气灾难后,世界如我们今天所知的样貌已不复存在,但一个新的国家从废墟中崛起,那就是帕纳姆。帕纳姆最初由13个区和一个首都组成,首都位于现代落基山脉,而13个区则分布在北美洲的残余部分,距离首都的远近决定了其财富的多寡。在第一次叛乱中,13个区反抗首都,导致了一场残酷的战争,并完全消灭了第13区,还引发了饥饿游戏——一场全国范围内直播的比赛,每年举行一次,比赛中每个区会选出一名男孩和一名女孩作为贡品,互相厮杀直到只剩一人生还。 在第74届饥饿游戏中,凯妮丝(Katniss)感到特别震惊,因为她的妹妹普莉姆(Prim)竟然从第12区约8000名居民中被选为贡品,参加这场致命的比赛。她那温柔的妹妹怎么能在如此残酷的比赛中生存?这场比赛以其残忍和暴力而闻名。因此,凯妮丝自愿替她的妹妹参赛,这使她不得不与一个曾经给她面包的熟人——年轻的男孩皮塔(Peeta)一起参加游戏。 凯妮丝如何在其他23名参赛者中生存?她会任由首都将她当作显示和投射首都力量的棋子吗?这些问题将在苏珊·柯林斯(Suzanne Collins)的奇妙之作《饥饿游戏》中找到答案。这本书由我,以及其他所有读者强烈推荐。它是一部深邃而富有冒险精神的故事,让你仿佛与凯妮丝并肩作战,共同经历这场致命的饥饿游戏。

Twelve districts. One Capitol. And an annual death count of twenty-four tributes sent out in an arena, where they will fight to the death. This is the problem that Katniss Everdeen faces along with all the other district members. Katniss lives in District 12 — the lowest of the low levels. Everybody is poor and there's rarely any food, so Katniss hunts out in the wild along with her best friend and hunting partner, Gale Hawthorne. But as usual, the reaping day comes, when two tributes — a boy and a girl — will be sent to the Capitol to be involved in the Hunger Games. But it's not Katniss's name that's picked — it's her sister, Primrose. As Katniss volunteers to take Primrose's place, the boy's tribute is picked — Peeta, the boy who once saved Katniss's family from starving. At the Capitol, Katniss is overwhelmed with delicacies that would've cost a fortune in District 12: oranges, coffee, buns, chicken, and even hot chocolate. The two meet their mentor, Haymitch, a man who loves to drink and isn't your average mentor. As the day of the Hunger Games slowly arrives, Katniss and Peeta work hard to improve their survival skills, with Katniss being a pro at bows and Peeta single-handedly excelling in arm-to-arm combat. But the Hunger Games has more to it than just winning — it involves love, alliances, betrayals, and death. I recommend this book because it shows a future United States under the control of one place, the Capitol. It's a tale of bravery, family, love, friendship, and sacrifices.

这是一本背景设置在未来的小说,故事里的北美洲在一场大战后被摧毁,在美国原来的废墟上,人们建立了新的家园,但新政权规定:管辖下的12个地区每年都必须进贡少年男女,参加一档电视直播节目"饥饿游戏",Katniss主动代替了自己的妹妹,成为"贡品"并在游戏中生死搏杀的故事。我推荐这本书是因为它展示了未来的美国在一个地方——国会大厦——所代表的政府控制下。这是一个关于勇敢、家庭、爱情、友谊和牺牲的故事。
