ADRIAN MOLE: THE WILDERNESS YEARS
Book ID/图书代码: 12844010B38272
English Summary/英文概要: Wednesday April 3rd
I am twenty-four and one day old. Question: What have I done with my life? Answer: Nothing. Grahame Greene died today. I wrote to him four years ago, pointing out a grammatical error in his book, The Human Factor. He didn’t reply.
Adrian Mole has at last reached physical maturity, but he can’t help roaming the pages of his diary like an untamed adolescent. Finally given the heave-ho by Pandora, he seeks solace in the arms of Bianca, a qualified hydraulic engineer masquerading as a waitress. Between his dishwashing job and completing his epic novel, Lo! The Flat Hills of My Homeland, Adrian hopes that fame and fortune will not keep him waiting much longer.

我已經二十四歲了。
我問自己:我都做過些什麼?
答案是:什麼都沒有。
格雷厄姆•格林這一天去世了。四年前我寫過一封信給他,指出他所寫的一本書The Human Factors中一個語法錯誤。但沒有收到回信。
阿莫終於成年了。但他總還像一個沒長大的孩子一樣沉醉于他的日記。被潘朵拉拒絕後,阿莫投入到比安卡的的懷抱中尋找安慰。他一邊做著一份刷盤子的工作,一邊完成了他的史詩小說《瞧!我的故鄉,平山》阿莫期待著名利雙收的那一天應該不會太遠。(Claire)

23¾岁的阿德里安莫尔现在是一个成年人,他已蓄势待发。往好处想:他爱上了一个非常可爱的尼日利亚女服务员;他在看心理医生,以便可以不受干扰地谈论自己;他还在他的实验小说中加入了元音(这让大众更容易理解!) 缺点呢?潘多拉可能已经成为历史;一个头脑简单的对手在他面前发表了文章,并获得了极大的好评;更糟糕的是,阿德里安意识到他可能并不是独一无二的。事实上,他可能处于正常范围内。一个知识分子怎么能忍受这样的生活呢? (Sandy)
