SSSSpark《惊奇科幻》:
科幻大世界,一步一纷呈!
潘多拉魔盒让我们知道人类是个复杂的动物,尤其是在自私和贪婪方面,作者这一次抓住了人类的这一特性,展开写作,美国科幻作家亚当-特洛伊·卡斯特罗巧妙地把Jones这个可以是人名喻名交互的词汇列为标题,戏剧性地表明瘾君子Fenn的状态—Kyaaf的过量摄入导致自身变成一个过度依赖型的瘾性太空人,让舰长十分愤怒,因为这种瘾品会在周围扩散,所以她只能将Fenn抛弃在这个极为陌生的世界,自生自灭,当她再次回到这个星球时,惊奇地发现Fenn安然无恙地活着,作为一个酒保苟延残喘,依然需要Kyaaf续命,两人谈话结束后,舰长忧心忡忡地回到驾驶舱,因为她怕她会像Fenn一样经不住世俗的诱惑,沾染一辈子都抹不掉的东西,所以人类真的经受不住那该死的诱惑吗?人类真的控制不住自己的欲望吗?这篇奇幻小说深刻的反映了我们人心的脆弱和人性的贪婪,孔夫子常讲:“克己复礼”,复礼放在一边,如果我们做人都做不到坚守底线,克己奉终,我们也就会大难临头了。

部分字幕及重点词汇:
00:49Spaceman Jones dramatically unwraps addiction to Kyaaf, a drink which had lifelong bearing on the health of spaceman—Fenn. Hearing his addiction, the Captain got cranky because she knew the drink would make him groggy and his thoughts sludgy. And without enough supplies of Kyaaf, he would scoot back against the pillows and utter in a weak manner. He was briefed about his health by his Captain and had to survive in the world where he was tempted, a false consummation with a local. He unconsciously inflicted on himself with living in an unfamiliar world. After he was left, Fenn hunted for Kyaaf for survival as a hub waiter; settled himself in a slum district through a voucher for housing, but intermittent supplies at best made it wobbly for him to live because of strict rationing. Many years later, the Captain returned to the world and checked his status, redolent of Kyaaf in the atmosphere around crewmembers and habituated. With "ostentatious concealment" and voluminous wears, she, however, was recognized by Fenn and had a talk with him in which he was conditioned to live with Kyaaf, the world fulfilled with uncertainty and frugal existence as a waiter. He might flit from one Kyaaf supply to another, crazy maybe; but lived in harmony with his banal life until he finished his novel. And for the Captain, she was concerned with Kyaaf which would preoccupy her life even though she had no sip of it with considerable revulsion, and her head dived into jostling for being the worlds away from Kyaaf.
