60 InTransit：一本书的艰难旅程

出于学习和好奇，5月1日从abebooks.com下单1本初中语文必读名著《红星照耀中国》的外文版“Red Star over China: The Classic Account of the Birth of Chinese Communism”，准备到手了，中、英文对比着读，看看其中一些经典段落或是经典句子，中文版都是怎么翻译的，原著的味道还保留多少？
请输入图片描述从下单到今天，57过去了，邮件追踪仍为InTransit（在途）状态，从邮件追踪情况来看，能收到的机会似乎十分渺茫：

    看来博主的英文水平也是相当棒的。

      棒谈不上，爱好而已，往往像我这种肚里无墨的人才喜欢折腾。通过这件事，感觉纸质原版书的购买，太难了。

    「The item is not meeting customs requirements」
    看来海关看不懂书名，还以为是禁书……文化水平堪忧啊。

      审的有点严格吧？
      不过，作为初中语文必读名著之一的英文原版，竟然卡在了海关，让人读中文译本的心情都没有了。

      还是崇尚纸质原版，给家里孩子学习营造个氛围，想。记得上大学时，在学校图书馆勤工俭学一段时间，好像是有个“亚太基金会”的组织给我们学校捐赠过一批外文书籍，记得大多是英文原版的。难道，现在要买这种书，还必须经过类似的专业代购商家，才行吗？

      👋欢迎flynn光临！
      还不收到；淘宝上看了一下，好像多数是“亲，所有书籍均为电子版影印，内容跟进口书一致。”这种情况呢。再等等吧，我倒想看看这个国际快递能“在途”多久。（＃－.－）
