刘慈欣中英双语科幻经典：青少版8.微纪元

“你对地球文明的了解让我们震惊。”秘书长由衷地说。 “我对一切明察秋毫，再说，透彻地了解一粒灰尘并不困难。” 美国总统看着天空说：“你是指地球吗？你确实比地球大很多，但从宇宙尺度来说，你的大小与地球是同一个数量级的，你也是一粒灰尘。” “我连灰尘都不是，”镜子说，“很久很久以前我曾是灰尘，但现在我只是一面镜子。” “你是一个个体呢，还是一个群体？”中国领导人问。 “这个问题无意义，文明在时空中走过足够长的路时，个体和群体将同时消失。” “镜子是你固有的形象呢，还是你许多形象中的一种？”英国首相问，秘书长把问题接下去：“就是说，你是否有意对我们显示出这样一个形象呢？” “这个问题也无意义，文明在时空中走过足够长的路时，形式和内容将同时消失。” ‘We’re surprised at your understanding of Earth culture,’ the secretary general said earnestly. ‘I see all. Besides, a thorough understanding of a speck of dust isn’t hard.’ The US president looked up at the sky and said, ‘Are you referring to the Earth? You may be bigger, but on a cosmic scale you’re on the same order as the Earth. You’re a speck of dust, too.’ ‘I’m less than dust,’the mirror said. ‘A long, long time ago I used to be dust, but now I’m just a mirror.’ ‘Are you an individual or a collective?’the Chinese president asked. ‘That question is meaningless. When a civilization travels far enough on the road of time, individual and collective both disappear.’ ‘Is a mirror your intrinsic form, or one of your many expressions?’ the UK prime minister asked. The secretary general added, ‘In other words, are you deliberately exhibiting this form for our benefit?’ ‘This question is also meaningless. When a civilization travels far enough on the road of time, form and content both disappear.’

《梦之海》3.5/5星，《欢乐颂》2/5星，写得最好的要属《微纪元》4.5/5星，以它做专辑标题也可猜测到质量好坏。 《微纪元》好在一个历史感，科技带来的生产力，和上层建筑开战的必然事件，被刘慈欣简要勾勒出来了。最后借助一个明得价值的宏人之手，亲自摧毁宏人胚胎，相当于彻底把封建文化干趴下了，永无复生之力，其他微人干还显得不人道，觉醒的宏人是最合适的安排。
