2006年8月23至27日，第64届世界科幻大会将在加利福尼亚的阿纳海姆市举行。今年的雨
果奖和约翰·W·坎贝尔新人作家奖提名业已公布。

详细名单如下：

最佳长篇小说部门

查尔斯·斯特罗斯（Charles Stross）《渐速音》（Accelerando）
   在去年的雨果奖上，查尔斯·斯特罗斯的两篇长中篇小说获得提名，并最终摘得雨果
奖。此次他能否依靠这本包囊了《龙虾》等精品的短篇集再次获奖，请拭目以待。

乔治·R·R·马丁（George R. R. Martin）《群鸦之宴》（A Feast for Crows）
   奇幻文学大师乔治·R·R·马丁的《冰与火之歌》第四卷，如若本书能最终获奖，相
信会刺激国内译本的销量。

肯·麦克劳德（Ken MacLeod）《领略世界》（Learning the World）
    苏格兰作家肯·麦克劳德是《牛顿的觉醒》的作者（顺便提一下，这本书的封面画
真的一流）。《出版商周刊》评价《领略世界》，说它也许是弗诺·文奇的《天渊》之后
最棒的与外星人接触的小说。

约翰·斯考茨（John Scalzi）《老年人的战争》（Old Man’s War）
    这本书是作家的第一本长篇小说，会不会像《孤儿远征军》那样一炮打红，获得不
凡的销售业绩呢？
   一句话概括情节：老年人们换上新的躯体，与邪恶的外星人作战。

罗伯特·查尔斯·威尔逊（Robert Charles Wilson）《旋转》（SPIN）
   这部小说出现在了SF Site 网站的读者和编辑的两份票选年度最佳名单上，看来还是
值得关注的。

最佳长中篇部门
詹姆斯·帕特里克·凯利（James Patrick Kelly）《燃烧》（Burn）
   帕特里克也是雨果奖上的常客了，他的《Undone》颇受北星大哥的推崇。

罗伯特·J·索耶（Robert J. Sawyer）《身份窃贼》（Identity Theft）
   这篇同时也获得了06年的星云奖提名，本人曾翻译过索耶的一篇作品，对于此篇还是
很期待的。

康妮·威利斯（Connie Willis）《秘密任务》（Inside Job）
   这本小说的单行本只有99页，据说还不错。

伊恩·麦克唐纳（Ian McDonald）《小女神》（The Little Goddess）
    麦克唐纳算得上是英国老牌科幻作家之一，他的这篇作品依旧将为来的印度大陆作
为故事的背景所在地，本人揣测它与《众神之河》存在着一定的联系吧。

凯莉·林克（Kelly Link）《初学者的魔法》（Magic for Beginners）
本人只看过原文的六分之一，但已发现要明白凯莉讲述了啥故事比较困难。

最佳短中篇部门
鲍罗·巴茨伽卢皮（Paolo Bacigalupi）《卡路里男人》（The Calorie Man）
作家刚刚获得了06年的星云奖最佳短中篇提名。在《卡路里男人》里，能源匮乏的世界里
，跨国公司控制着经过基因调整的高卡路里植物的专利，整个世界的运转就是围绕着此类
植物。终于出现了一个男子，他要改变这一切……

科利·多克托罗（Cory Doctorow）《我，机器人》（I, Robot）
这部和大师作品同名的作品可不是无心之作。原来，多克托罗计划创作一系列与大师们的
著名作品题目类似的作品，诸如获得今年星云奖提名的《安达的游戏》就效仿了卡德的《
安德的游戏》的题目，内容也有一定相似性。小说的人物就是阿西莫夫笔下的R·丹尼尔
·欧利瓦，可多克托罗抛弃了阿西莫夫的天真的美国政治观，描绘了一个仿若乔治·奥威
尔的《1984》的世界。

霍华德·沃德罗普（Howard Waldrop）《The King of Where-I-Go》
这篇小说我恰好看过，节奏真的很缓慢，文章还真的怀旧得很。贴个我过去翻译的文章开
头吧！

[ 1954年，我刚满八岁，我的妹妹在那年患上了小儿麻痹症。
这不是我的过错，尽管如此，我还是花费了二十多年的时间才说服自己相信这与我无关。
你瞧，我们发生了那次争斗。
                                 …………
我们那时正待在阿拉巴马我们祖父母的家里。我们总是在夏天被带到那里，要么是在阵亡
将士纪念日那天从德克萨斯驱车到祖父母家，再在7月4号国庆节那天被接回来，要不就是
国庆节那天去、劳工日前的那个周末回，赶在德克萨斯州的学校开学的日子前回来。
   我们有生以来，总共有两次，在阿拉巴马度过了整个夏天，而那次是我们的第一次。
我们的父母在整整三个月里面将离开我们，好好休息一下。在那段日子里，基本来说，我
们都玩得很疯。真是次完全崭新的体验。当十年之后，我们第二次在阿拉巴马度过盛夏时
，我们回到家中，却会发现父母早已离异——我和我的妹妹会和母亲一道，住在火车轨道
附近的一个车库间里，而我们的父亲则寄居在半英里开外的一个改造后供散工留宿的前汽
车旅馆里。
   我们的父亲当时在一家电子器件厂里做装配工的工作，在20世纪60年代早些时候就会
失去了工作，因为那时日本人开始制造出质量更好、体积更小而价格却更便宜的电子器件
。我们的母亲在市区的一家本·富兰克林折扣店里做事。父亲必须要每天和别人合伙搭车
进达拉斯郊区，因此他每个礼拜会有一天到我们这儿来取用汽车。我们到那时也该上初中
了，而学校在两个街区以外。
   但那都是以后的事了。我所讲的是在1954年的夏天。
  每隔两个星期，我们就会钻进阿姨的那辆紫色凯瑟牌汽车，接着她就会带着我俩开上
45英里的路程，到我们的外祖父母在临近县里的农场上去，然后我们就将在那儿度过接下
去的两个礼拜。他们在两个星期后就会过来接我俩走。就像一部电影名称所讲的，异地两
周旅。（电影中译名：《罗马之光》，译者注）

迈克尔·A·布斯坦（Michael A. Burstein）《远程呈现》（TelePresence）
   telepresence是一种虚拟实在，能够使人实时地以远程的方式于某处出场，即虚拟出
场。此时，出场相当于"在场"，即你能够在现场之外实时地感知现场，并有效地进行某种
操作。
   对于未来世界的虚拟现实学校而言，最重要的是什么呢？安全！为了追截一个罪大恶
极的黑客，故事主人公——一所虚拟现实学校的校长——开始了他的历程。

彼得·S·毕格尔（Peter S. Beagle）《双心》（Two Hearts）
    Peter S. Beagle何许人也？他是《最后一只独角兽》的作者，《魔戒》的电影编剧
。《最后一只独角兽》出版于1968年，《Two Hearts》可谓是它的续集，主角是一位可爱
的小女孩。本人很想能找到原文，翻译此作。~ ~

最佳短篇小说部门

多米尼克·格林(Dominic Green) 《定时原子弹》(The Clockwork Atom Bomb)
   一个男人必须处理一个比原子弹更加危险的武器……

迈克·瑞斯尼克（Mike Resnick）《记忆消失之路》（Down Memory Lane）
   看了书评，方知道这篇作品国内已经译介过来了，登载在2005年11月份的《科幻世界
译文版》上。到底如何，有待大家的意见。

迈克尔·A·布斯坦（Michael A. Burstein）《75年》
   看来布斯坦今年收获很大，短中篇和短篇部门都有小说入围，可喜可贺。这篇故事将
视角对准了2098年的未来世界，具体如何，就不剧透了。

玛格·拉纳甘（Margo Lanagan）《Singing My Sister Down》
    这篇作品依次出现在05年世界奇幻奖提名名单、06年星云奖终提名名单上，如今又
出现在这里，可谓三大幻想奖项都有入围，而且它还获得了世界奇幻奖最佳短篇奖。作者
来自澳大利亚，近年来澳大利亚比较出色的科幻作者还有格雷格·伊根。

戴维·D·莱文（David D. Levine）《Tk’tk’tk》
     看到这个名字，也许你会陌生，但说起《金雕传奇》，大家就会有点记忆了吧。此
次的这篇小说的故事也非同一般。故事的主角是一个漂泊于宇宙中的推销员。同样，不进
行剧透了。

编者后记：作出这份汉化的单子，也颇为不容易。希望有兴趣的同仁可以提些意见。

John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer [Not a Hugo]

K. J. Bishop (second year of eligibility)
Sarah Monette (second year of eligibility)
Chris Roberson (second year of eligibility)
Brandon Sanderson (first year of eligibility)
John Scalzi (first year of eligibility)
Steph Swainston (second year of eligibility)
First-time Hugo nominees this year are John Scalzi, Cory Doctorow, Peter S.
Beagle, Dominic Green, Margo Lanagan, Gary Westfahl, Gary K. Wolfe, Mike
Ashley, Sheila Williams, Stephan Martiniere, and John Hertz.

This year's special category for Best Interactive Video Game appeared on the
nominating ballot but was cancelled due to "lack of interest" -- presumably
too few nominations in the category to tabulate meaningful results for a
final ballot.

Two of this year's Best Novel nominees have previously won Hugos, Charles
Stross (last year for novella "The Concrete Jungle") and George R.R. Martin
(4 wins, most recently for novella "Blood of the Dragon" in 1997). Ken
MacLeod and Robert Charles Wilson have 2 and 4 previous nominations
respectively.

Of the Best Novella nominees, only Ian McDonald has never won a Hugo; he has
just one previous nomination, last year for novel River of Gods. James
Patrick Kelly has won 2 Hugos, both in the novelette category; Robert J.
Sawyer won for novel Hominids in 2003; Connie Willis has 8 Hugos out of a
total 21 previous nominations; and Kelly Link won the Hugo last year with her
first nomination, for novelette "The Faery Handbag".

None of the Best Novelette nominees has ever won a Hugo, and Cory Doctorow
and Peter S. Beagle are first-time nominees. Paolo Bacigalupi has 1 previous
nomination, in 2005; Howard Waldrop has 6 previous nominations, and Michael
A. Burstein 8.

Best Short Story nominee Mike Resnick has won 5 Hugos out of a total of 27
previous nominations, including last year in this category for "Travels with
My Cats". David D. Levine has 1 previous nomination; Dominic Green and Margo
Lanagan are first-time nominees.

Three of the Best Related Book nominees are first-time nominees: Mike Ashley,
Gary Westfahl, and Gary K. Wolfe. David Langford has been nominated in this
category twice before, without winning (though he has won many times in other
categories). Kate Wilhelm has 5 previous nominations in fiction categories,
and 1 win for novel Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang, but no previous
nonfiction nominations.

Sheila Williams is a first-time nominee in the Best Editor category; she took
over editorship last year of Asimov's SF Magazine from Gardner Dozois, who
for the first time since 1987 has not been nominated in this category (Dozois
won 15 times out of 19 consecutive nominations from 1987 to 2005). Ellen
Datlow has 12 previous nominations in this category, and has won twice, in
2002 and 2005. None of the other nominees has ever won a Hugo. David G.
Hartwell has 14 previous nominations in this category, and 31 nominations
overall, holding the record for most nominations by anyone who has not won a
Hugo. Stanley Schmidt has 27 previous nominations, including every year in
this category since 1980. Gordon Van Gelder has 14 previous nominations,
including every year in this category since 1998.

Stephan Martiniere is a first-time nominee in the Best Artist category. Of
the other nominees, Jim Burns has won previously in this category 3 times,
most recently in 2005, Bob Eggleton has won 8 times, most recently in 2001,
2003, and 2004, and Michael Whelan has won in the category 13 times, most
recently in 2000 and 2002. Donato Giancola has 7 previous nominations, every
year consecutively since 1999, and John Picacio has one previous nomination,
in 2005.

All the Best Semiprozine nominees are veterans; the newest, Emerald City, has
4 previous nominations, and won in 2004 in the Fanzine category. Ansible has
been nominated 14 times previously, and has won 5 times in the Fanzine
category, and once, last year, in the Semiprozine category. Locus has been
nominated in the amateur magazine, fanzine, or semiprozine categories every
year since 1970 with just one exception (1979), and has won 26 times. The New
York Review of Science Fiction has been nominated 17 times in this category,
every year consecutively since 1989, though it has never won.

Best Fanzine nominee Plokta was last year's winner, and has been nominated
every year since 1999. Mike Glyer's File 770 has been nominated 23 times
previously and won 5 times, most recently in 2001. Challenger has 6 previous
nominations, every year since 2000. Banana Wings and Chunga have each been
nominated once before, in 2005.

Best Fan Writer nominee David Langford has been nominated in this category
every year since 1979, and has won 19 times, including every year since 1989.
Claire Brialey has 2 previous nominations in this category, Cheryl Morgan 2,
and Steven H Silver 5. John Hertz is a first-time nominee this year.

Best Fan Artist nominee Steve Stiles has 5 previous nominations with no wins.
The other nominees have won previously in this category: Brad Foster 5 times,
most recently in 1994; Teddy Harvia 4 times, including 2001 and 2002; Sue
Mason twice, in 2003 and 2005; and Frank Wu once, in 2004.
