 简介当初是找翻译做的，因为我的英文非常烂，所以无从知道对错，非常抱歉！
现将英文贴出，希望能校对翻译错误的地方，也避免以讹传讹。
当初交给翻译的是2篇文章，文章内容有雷同的地方，最后整合为图书简介和获得班夫奖的理由，这里将2份原稿一同贴出。
以后若翻译文章，作者允许的前提下，我会尽量将英文原文贴出。

The Stonemasters: California Climbing in the Seventies
John Long, Dean FidelmanStonemaster Press (USA, 2009), ISBN 978-0-9840949-0-5
In the early 1970s when they started showing up at Southern California crags — the San Gabriels, Joshua Tree, and Tahquitz — this particularly talented group of young climbers had an immense impact not only on climbing in North America, but also on the youth culture of the decade. The Stonemasters, as they called themselves, with their tans, cut-offs, nomadic natures, their dope-smoking, and lightning-fast ascents, established countless new routes in a pure, bold, and visionary style. Their story, in personal anecdotes and archival photos, is told in John Long and Dean Fidelman’s book The Stonemasters: California Climbing in the Seventies. With a freewheeling style that soon dominated Yosemite, these California kids influenced their sport across the continent and overseas, creating a climbing revolution that easily echoes today. “We considered ourselves nothing if we couldn’t affect a sea change in the ways climbers felt and thought and behaved,” Long writes. “It was all part of proving that we mattered, that we were worth a damn as human beings. In our minds, a revolution was not a luxury but a condition of being alive.”

The Stonemasters: California Climbing in the Seventies

Each year the jury has the choice of recognizing an outstanding work of mountain history, honouring a book in the name of J.M. Thorington, one of the great chroniclers of our home ranges here in the Rockies. It was a very, very easy decision to make the choice to award a history prize this year. The winner is a near-perfect capture of a unique, golden moment in climbing history; tracing a decade of revolution that foretold all that was going to come, in climbing, and even, I’d suggest, in a nation. This is a remarkable ethnology of a tribe on the cusp of a change, filled with manic, joyous, complex characters who play out their strange and beautiful rituals on the most idyllic stage in the world. This book of iconic images and wonderful writing is, indeed…exactly how we were.

Never, ever, write a guidebook. I’ve heard that from every guidebook author I’ve ever spoken to. No matter how much research you do, how many times you go out on cold mornings to get a crag shot, how many times you climb slag heaps to get the details on climbs people haven’t done for years, no matter how many days of your own climbing you give, how many climbers you chase after to get route descriptions, you will piss someone off. You’ll put years of pretty much unpaid effort into your book, and then someone will send an email complaining that there are six, not seven, bolts on pitch 15 of that climb. Thankfully, because guidebooks are also often the most tangible threads that connect us as a community, there are people who continue to write guides despite their own best advice. We’re very happy to honour one author who took the risk of describing not just a crag, but half a country — and did a remarkable job. This wonderful book gives us new projects, new places, and new friends, for years to come… |
