漫长的告别（英文原版）

I was looking at life through the mists of a hangover. To say goodbye is to die a little. Alcohol is like love. The first kiss is magic, the second is intimate, the third is routine. The first divorce is the only tough one. After that its merely a problem in economics. You can hear those tough old eucalyptus trees across the street whispering to each other. Talking about old times in Australia when the wallabies hopped about underneath the branches and the koala bears rode piggyback on each other. Fear nothing, old boy. I got to make lots of dough to juice the guys I got to juice in order to make lots of dough to juice the guys I got to juice. There was a guy who really had a mission in life. They say the rich can always protect themselves and that in their world it is always summer. They always find a way to get it if they have to have it. There is no trap so deadly as the trap you set for yourself. Everybody is running away from something. Goodbye and good luck, sir.

作为非母语读者读起来这本书比较轻松，句子一般不太复杂也没有很多高级的词汇，很喜欢他的写作风格，冷静中偶尔蹦一个冷笑话出来。 Marlowe就像他自己说的，是个浪漫派，看起来tough但是内心柔软，是个有意思的角色。

太多slang了，有些比较难懂。 剧情还是蛮有意思的，各种反转中的反转。

Pretty good story teller. Like the classification of blondes.
