《一脚踏进小美国》——
在离开美国二十年之后，一种不寻常而且奇异的冲动擒住了比尔·布赖森，想再次回到少年时的土地，回到四千里外的另一个大陆，而这是一种当你走到人生的中点，才会有的怀旧之情。
在一个酷热的九月清晨，比尔开始他横越美国的旅程，在夹杂着陌生、矛盾、无聊和惊喜的过程中，他找寻的是原以为早已失落的大陆，也在打开心眼之后，才看到真实的美国。


Editorial Reviews

A travelogue by Bill Bryson is as close to a sure thing as funny books get. The Lost Continent is no exception. Following an urge to rediscover his youth (he should know better), the author leaves his native Des Moines, Iowa, in a journey that takes him across 38 states. Lucky for us, he brought a notebook.
With a razor wit and a kind heart, Bryson serves up a colorful tale of boredom, kitsch, and beauty when you least expect it. Gentler elements aside, The Lost Continent is an amusing book. Here's Bryson on the women of his native state: "I will say this, however--and it's a strange, strange thing--the teenaged daughters of these fat women are always utterly delectable ... I don't know what it is that happens to them, but it must be awful to marry one of those nubile cuties knowing that there is a time bomb ticking away in her that will at some unknown date make her bloat out into something huge and grotesque, presumably all of a sudden and without much notice, like a self-inflating raft from which the pin has been yanked."

Yes, Bill, but be honest: what do you really think?

我来了，mochow。

晕，难道你也要来个一脚踏进小八卦？

看过这本书， 作者还算蛮幽默的， 在游记中不断穿插自己的回忆， 对一些事物的描写也很有特色。

或许你看了，对稍微久远一点的美国会有点感性认识 ^_^
