「环境的力量和性质对词汇有着巨大影响。」
去年首次将阅读记录汇总入一张粗朴的电子表格，年末回顾时竟仿佛一幅斑斓图景，自然幻化出明暗浓淡。于是尝试择出2022阅读年度十佳和一些其他印象深刻的书目，学着给个人记录增添些秩序。并不完全对应阅读记录里的评分排序，在主题、写作风格、文学性与私人阅读体验上进行了微小的平衡。勉强分为三梯队，梯队内排名不分先后，按阅读时间排列。其他提名亦如是。
📚 第一梯队 (x4)
📖 Piranesi ~ Susanna Clarke
‘It is enough in and of Itself. It is not the means to an end.’
📖 鳗鱼的旅行 ~ Patrik Svensson; 徐昕(译)
‘信仰就是去接近神秘，接近那些无法用语言描述、无法被理解的东西。信仰需要你放弃一部分逻辑和理性。’

'No one has ever said that life is to be easy. Only that it is to be lived.'
📖 The Story of Jane: the Legendary Underground Feminist Abortion Service ~ Laura Kaplan
'All you had to do was give her a choice.' '...women's liberation wasn't about women having a bigger piece of a rotten pie.'
📚 第二梯队 (x3)
🔖 Thank You for Not Reading ~ Dubravka Ugrešić; Celia Hawkeswors (translator)
'The concept of literature is disappearing, and its place is increasingly being taken by books.'
🔖 Honor ~ Thrity Umrigar
'There was just sympathy, a clean sympathy that burned as pure as alcohol.'
🔖 And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer ~ Fredrik Backman; Alice Menzies (translator)
'I get old when you leave me. Every wrinkle on my face is a good-bye from you.'
📚 第三梯队 (x3)
🔍 1984 ~ George Orwell
'It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage.'
🔍 你的夏天还好吗 ~ 金爱烂; 薛舟(译)
‘每天我都在痛饮城市。这改变了我的表情和语气，改变了内脏的秩序。’
🔍 The Dead Tell Lies ~ J. F. Kirwan
'...truth was a slippery, almost mythical subject. And often irrelevant. In the human psyche, perceptions ruled.'
📌 其他提名 (x4)
📨 怪诞故事集 ~ Olga Tokarczuk; 李怡楠(译)
‘我们为什么要假设人与世界之间的鸿沟比其他两种现存个体之间的鸿沟更伟大、更重要呢？你能感觉到这些吗？为什么你和这个落叶松之间的鸿沟就比这个落叶松和啄木鸟之间的鸿沟更重要？’
📨 Thirteen Months of Sunrise ~ Rania Mamoun; Elisabeth Jaquette (translator)
'It's so cruel to live life alongside a void.'
📨 Blueberries ~ Ellena Savage
'... and I suspect that this is what is meant by hegemony, rule through the consent of the ruled, the distraction from material problems that are categorical and unsolvable by championing "issues" that can be solved today…'
📨 You Look Like A Thing and I Love You ~ Janelle Shane
'It all depends on how well we use it.'
