THE PERFECT STORM
By Sebastian Junger

电影想必大家都观看过了，可还是建议各位读读这本书……

简介：
October, 1991. It was “the perfect storm”—a tempest that may happen only once a century—a nor’ easter created by so rare combination of factor that it could not possibly have been worse. Creating waves ten stories high and winds of 120 miles per hour, the storm whipped the sea to inconceivable levels few people on Earth have ever witnessed. Few, except the six-men crew of the Andrea Gail, a commercial fishing boat tragically headed towards the storm’s hellish center.

GLOUCESTER, MASS., 1991

It’s no fish ye’re buying, it’s men’s lives.
--SIR WALTER SCOTT
The Antiquary, Chapter II

A SOFT fall rain slips down through the trees and the smell of ocean is so strong that it can almost be licked off the air. Trucks rumble along Rogers Street and men in t-shirts stained with fishblood shout to each other from the decks of boats. Beneath them the ocean swells up against the black pilings and sucks back down to the barnacles. Beer cans and old pieces of styrofoam rise and fall and pools of spilled diesel fuel undulate like huge iridescent jellyfish. The boats rock and creak against their ropes and seagulls complain and hunker down and complain some more. Across Rogers Street and aorund the back of the Crow’s Nest, through the door and up the cement stairs, down the carpeted hallway and into one of the doors on the left, stretched out on a double bed in room number twenty-seven with a sheet pulled over him, Bobby Shatford lies asleep.
…
本段描写生动、细致。格鲁斯特渔民的形象“men in t-shirts stained with fishblood shout to each other from the decks of boats”清晰地展现在读者面前。文字如同摄影机，把读者带到主人公之一——鲍比身边（下划线标注处）。
