看看奥巴马任总统期间推荐的这些书,可以当读书俱乐部主席了

奥巴马称,书让他获得信息并给予他灵感。《娱乐周刊》回顾了这些年来奥巴马青睐的所有书籍。

 

无论是在白宫给孩子们读书,还是在黑色星期五逛当地书店,或是向女儿推荐读物,贝拉克·奥巴马总统也许都可以被称为书籍达人。

奥巴马酷爱读书。最近,他在接受《纽约时报》采访时谈到了书籍在他执政期间的重大作用,书让他获得信息并给予他灵感。奥巴马说,书籍让他得以“慢下来,获得看问题的视角”。《娱乐周刊》回顾了这些年来奥巴马青睐的书——模仿著名领导人的读书方式并非坏事。把奥巴马选为2017年读书俱乐部主席怎么样,有人同意吗?

以下是奥巴马担任总统期间推荐的所有书籍:

给女儿的书:

Whether he’s reading to kids at the White House, hitting up local bookstores on Black Friday, or giving recommendations to his daughters, President Barack Obama may as well be known as the Commander in Books.

POTUS is an avid reader and recently spoke to the New York Times about the significant, informative and inspirational role literature has played in his presidency, crediting books for allowing him to “slow down and get perspective.” With his presidency coming to an end this Friday, EW looked back at Obama’s lit picks over the years — because it can’t hurt to read like a great leader. #ObamaForBookClubPresident2017, anyone?

See a comprehensive list of every book Obama has recommended during his presidency:

Books for Daughters:

对于给18岁的女儿玛利亚推荐过哪些书的问题,奥巴马给了《时代》周刊一份清单,其中包括《裸者与死者》和《百年孤独》。“我觉得其中一些书被推荐的频率很高[……]我想她还没有读过。还有一些书现在已经不是人人都想读了,但我记得它们都很有意思。”奥巴马列出的书单如下:

1. 《裸者与死者》,诺曼·梅勒

2. 《百年孤独》,加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯

3.《金色笔记》,多丽丝·莱辛

4. 《女勇士》,汤婷婷

在独立书店的购书:

When asked what books he recommended to his 18-year-old daughter Malia, Obama gave the Times a list that included The Naked and the Dead and One Hundred Years of Solitude. “I think some of them were sort of the usual suspects […] I think she hadn’t read yet. Then there were some books that are not on everybody’s reading list these days, but I remembered as being interesting.” Here’s what he included:

1. The Naked and the Dead, Norman Mailer

2. One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel García Márquez

3. The Golden Notebook, Doris Lessing

4. The Woman Warrior, Maxine Hong Kingston

关于其他总统的书籍:

As a devoted reader, the president has been linked to a lengthy list of novels and poetry collections over the years—he admits he enjoys a thriller: “I thought Gone Girl was a well-constructed, well-written book,” he told the Times. Obama is also a fan of sci-fi titles like Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem for the escapism they provide. “The scope of it was immense,” he said. “So that was fun to read, partly because my day-to-day problems with Congress seem fairly petty — not something to worry about. Aliens are about to invade!”

Books About Other Presidents:

椭圆办公室可能让人觉得孤单,所以读一读先辈的经历应该只会带来帮助。奥巴马在接受采访时说:“那些自传一直都很有用,因为我确实觉得有这样一种倾向,那就是认为目前的任何状况,无论是灾难性的、令人好奇的还是困难的,都是独一无二的,这可以理解。”他会在下面这些书中寻找建议:

1. 《西奥多·罗斯福的崛起》,埃德蒙德·莫里斯

知识性书籍:

The Oval office can be a lonely place, so reading about your forefather’s experience could only help. “The biographies have been useful, because I do think that there’s a tendency, understandable, to think that whatever’s going on right now is uniquely disastrous or amazing or difficult,” said President Obama in an interview.

3. 《不平等的民主》,拉里·巴特尔斯

4. 《成为官僚》,罗伯特·A·卡罗

非文学作品:

2. Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001, Steve Coll
