英语儿童文学十大最佳作家
转自http://www.ebama.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=157650
Today, we’re wishing the legendary children’s
book author Lois Lowry a very happy 75th birthday! One of our all-time favorite
authors of children’s literature, Lowry published her first kids book in 1977,
and has since penned over 30 more. To celebrate Lowry’s birthday, we’ve put
together a list of the all-time best authors of children’s literature written
in English, from the contemporary to the classic, from the wildly magical to the
wittily familiar. Here, we’re defining “children’s literature” as being novels
aimed at the 9 to 13 set, a little bit young for YA proper, but well into the
chapter book stage and getting ready for more meaty fare. After all, there’s no
better way to prepare a child for a life of creativity and curiosity than to
give them a bunch of great books during their formative years. Or at least we
think so. Click through to read our list — and since we wanted to make this
list three times over (but you’ve gotta stop somewhere), be sure to chime in
with your own favorites in the comments!
今天，我们恭祝著名儿童文学家洛伊丝·劳里75岁生日快乐！作为历来最受喜爱的儿童文学作家之一的劳里于1977年出版了她的处女作，此后又创作了30余部作品。为了庆祝劳里的生日，我们草拟了一份有史以来最佳英文儿童文学家的名单，范围从当代作品到经典著作，内容从神奇魔法到俏皮精灵，全部包括其中。在此我们界定儿童文学的受众为9-13岁的儿童，虽比青少年要小一些，但已经到了可以阅读章回小说并准备博览群书的年纪。毕竟，再没有比给成长中的孩子一摞好书更好的帮助他们开启创造力与求知欲的方法了，至少我们是这样想的。请点阅此名单，之前我们曾想做比本榜长三倍的榜单（但你会读不下去），一定记得在评论处写下你最喜欢的人！
Lois Lowry
Lois Lowry, whose novels consistently blow us
away, is one of only five authors who have been awarded the Newbery Medal twice
— once for Number the Stars in 1990, and again for The Giver in 1993 (two more
of her doubly awarded peers are also on our list!). Lowry does not shy away
from disturbing or difficult topics — the Holocaust, dystopian futures,
terminal illness — but instead addresses them head on with grace and
captivating ability. Two decades later, we’re still arguing with our friends
over whether Jonas dies or finds salvation at the end of The Giver. The
question, like the book, still feels urgent, which is how we know she’s one of
the best.
洛伊丝·劳里
洛伊丝·劳里，其作品一贯扣人心弦，她是两得纽伯瑞金奖的五位作家之一 —— 一为1990年出版的《数星星》，二为1993年出版的《记忆传授人》（另有多位同样两得纽奖的作家也在榜单上）。她并不回避令人不安的疑难主题，如纳粹屠杀 、反乌托邦前途和不治之症，反而优雅迷人地迎难而上。20年后，我们依然与朋友们争论《记忆传授人》的结尾Jonas是去逝了还是得救了，这个问题和该书主题一样仍然亟待解决，这就是我们认为她是最佳之一的原因。
（译注：纽伯瑞儿童文学奖是由美国图书馆协会于1922年为纪念有“儿童文学之父”之称的英国出版商纽伯瑞而创设的奖项，与“国际安徒生奖”同为两大国际儿童文学奖项。“纽伯瑞奖”评选对象为上一年度出版的全球优秀英语儿童文学作品，纽奖每年颁发一次，金奖一名、银奖一名或数名。获奖作品多被美中小学校列为必读或选读书目，对美国以及世界的儿童文学具有一定的影响力。虽然近十几年来因评选等问题受到质疑而一直在走下坡路，但纽伯瑞奖仍然可以作为了解美国/英文儿童文学的窗口。）
（译注：《数星星》和《记忆传授人》是美国很多中学的必读书目，后者因主题敏感备受争议，在有些州属被禁之列。）
（译注：Holocaust：来源希腊语，原意是用火牺牲，在英、德语中指大屠杀。）
E.L. Konigsburg
Another two-time Newbery Medal winner, E.L.
Konigsburg is also the only person to have won both a Newbery Medal and a
Newbery Honor (which is basically the award’s honorable mention) in the same
year — for the first two books she ever wrote, no less: From the Mixed-Up Files
of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler and Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley,
and Me, Elizabeth, both submitted at once to her no-doubt thrilled publisher. A
full 29 years later, in 1997, she won the medal again for The View from
Saturday, another classic. Her work effortlessly describes the interior lives
of children trying to discover their own personalities, perhaps because she has
based many of her characters on her own children and students, who were, she
says, “softly comfortable on the outside and solidly uncomfortable on the
inside.” Perhaps one of the reasons that her work is so enduring is that that
quality never quite completely goes away.
E.L.柯尼斯伯格
另一位两得纽伯瑞金奖的作家是E·L·柯尼斯伯格，也是唯一同年囊获金银奖的作家（基本上银奖属荣誉奖），获奖作品竟然是作者首次写作出版的两本书：《天使雕像》和《小巫婆求仙记》，两奖同时颁给无疑是狂喜的出版商。整整29年后的1997年，她又因另一经典之作《相约星期六》荣获金奖。可能是根据她自己的孩子和学生塑造了许多人物的关系，其作品能轻松描绘出儿童发掘自身性格的内心活动，据她称这些人物是“外表随和自在，内心固执不安”的。也许其作品经久不衰的原因之一在于她从来没有大失水准过。
（译注：《小巫婆求仙记》是柯尼斯伯格的处女作，1968年纽伯瑞儿童文学奖银奖。《天使雕像》获同年金奖，后拍摄同名电影。）
C.S. Lewis
Probably the most popular classic fantasy
series in children’s literature, C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia has sold
over 100 million copies and been published in 47 languages. The magical world
of Narnia captivated children so intensely that one reader we know tells of
crying uncontrollably at the end of the last book, desperate to be able to get
to the fictional realm, certain that she believed enough. The now-obvious
Christian allegory aside, these books are wonders of imagination that cement
Lewis’s place among the best children’s lit authors of all time.
C·S·刘易斯
可能最受欢迎的儿童文学经典幻想系列小说就是C·S·刘易斯的《纳尼亚传奇》，纳已用47种语言出版并售出上百万册。纳尼亚的神奇世界是如此令孩子们着迷，有位读者曾告诉我们，她在读罢最后一部书后失声痛哭，想不顾一切地进入她笃信存在的虚拟王国。除了现在看来明显的基督教式寓言，是该书令人惊叹的想像力确立了刘易斯有史以来最佳儿童文学家的地位。
Philip Pullman
Speaking of C.S. Lewis — Philip Pullman is
considered by some to be the “Anti-Lewis,” and His Dark Materials to be a
direct rebuttal to The Chronicles of Narnia. We have found it in our hearts to
love both (though we admit, we love Pullman best), and we think his books —
captivating works of imagination filled with intelligent, passionate characters
— are destined to go down in history as classics.
菲力普·普曼
既然谈到了C·S·刘易斯，那么菲力普·普曼被认为多少有点反刘易斯的味道，《黑暗元素》就是对《纳尼亚传奇》的直接驳斥。我们两者都爱（但承认还是最爱普曼）并认为后者的书，是充满智慧激情人物想像的消魂之作，注定被奉为经典并载入史册。
（译注：菲力普·普曼的黑暗元素三部曲之《黄金罗盘》曾被改编为同名电影。）
J.K. Rowling
Sure, it may be derivative, and it may not, as
her detractors cry, be the most elevated of literature, but there’s no denying
that J.K. Rowling has inspired millions of kids and adults alike with her Harry
Potter series. Plus, we’re sorry, the stories, rife with wordplay and creative
worldmaking, are just undeniably good — and they were especially wonderful for
kids who got to grow up alongside Harry as his adventures got darker, weirder,
and more dangerous, just like their own imaginations.
J·K·罗琳
或许是作品的衍生品，或许不是，最大限度地提高了作品的地位，尽管有贬低之声，但不可否认的是，J·K·罗琳与她的哈利波特系列同样激励了无数的成人和小朋友。另外，原谅我们这样讲，这些充斥着文字游戏和创意虚构的小说只是好得不容置疑，尤其对那些伴随着哈利愈加隐晦、离奇和危险的冒险成长起来的孩子们来说分外精彩，一切就好像他们自己的幻想一般。
Lewis Carroll
Of course we couldn’t forget the author of
what might be the most well-known work of children’s literature across the
globe, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Obsessed with wordplay and weird to
the bone, Carroll was an odd egg, but we wouldn’t have it any other way — his
innovative brand of literary nonsense became a phenomenon that has inspired
countless reinterpretations, and his 1865 novel (1865!) is still a
modern-sounding, popular work today. Can’t beat that.
刘易斯·卡罗尔
我们当然不能忘记也许是全球最知名的儿童文学作品《爱丽斯漫游仙境》的作者，痴迷于双关语，怪异到骨头里的卡罗尔就是个怪胎，但我们就是喜欢他这样，他那独特的无厘头式文学成为一种现象并启迪了无数的重释，他这部1865年的作品（1865年!）如今依然颇具现代感并畅销，无人能及。
（译注：刘易斯·卡罗尔是时任牛津大学数学讲师查尔斯·道齐森的笔名）
Madeleine L’Engle
We won’t list the many awards and lifetime
achievement recognitions of the much-lauded Madeleine L’Engle here, and if
you’re reading this list, you’ve probably read something by her and don’t need
any extra encouragement from us, but suffice it to say that A Wrinkle in Time
and its sequels are some of the best things to happen to children’s literature
in the history of time. 50 years later, they’re still essential, inspiring, and
completely strange. We love it.
马德琳·英格
我们此处不会列举备受推崇的马德琳·英格所获的诸多奖项和终身成就。如果你正在读这份名单，就可能已经看过她的作品并无需我们特别的推荐。只《时间的皱纹》和其续集就足以证明它们是儿童文学有史以来最佳作品之一。50年后的今天，它们仍然是不可或缺、鼓舞人心和匪夷所思的，我们爱它。
（译注：《时间的皱纹》是马德琳·英格《时间四重奏》的开篇小说，马德琳曾为演员，丈夫Hugh Franklin曾在电影The Swimmer中客串Denny ）
Katherine Paterson
Paterson, author of classics like The Great
Gilly Hopkins (which won the National Book Award), Bridge to Terabithia (which
won the Newbery Medal), can also boast of winning the prestigious Hans
Christian Andersen Award, sometimes called the “Nobel Prize for children’s literature.”
The eighth most frequently challenged book of the nineties, Bridge to
Terabithia is a difficult but essential part of the modern canon of children’s
literature, and should not be missed.
凯瑟琳·帕特森
（荣获美国国家图书奖的）经典著作《养女基里》和（荣获纽伯瑞金奖的）《仙境之桥》的作者帕特森也可自诩曾获得享有盛誉 、有时也被称为儿童文学诺贝尔奖的国际安徒生文学大奖。在90年代最常被禁的书单中排名第8位的《仙境之桥》是现代儿童文学殿堂中困难但必要的组成部分，不容错过。
（译注：《仙境之桥》拍摄过同名电影）
Lloyd Alexander
The author of more than forty books (and one
of the founders of kids magazine Cricket), Alexander is best known for his
spectacular five book series The Chronicles of Prydain, whose final
installment, The High King, won the Newbery Medal in 1969. Drawing on Welsh
mythology, overflowing with wit and charm, these books were some of our
favorites, and inspired countless other children as well. After all, what
Assistant Pig-Keeper (or nerdy 10 year old, which is basically the equivalent)
doesn’t wish to grow up to be a hero?
罗伊德·亚历山大
拥有40多部作品（儿童杂志《蛐蛐儿》的创办人之一）的亚历山大，以其全套五部的宏著《布莱德恩编年史》闻名于世，完结篇《至高王》荣获1969年纽伯瑞金奖。吸收威尔士神话元素且充满风趣魅力的该书是我们的最爱之一，同时它也影响了无数的小朋友。要是（基本相当于10岁呆子）助理猪倌不想当英雄又会怎么样呢？
（译注：《布莱德恩编年史》一书的元素来自于一本威尔士民间故事集《马比诺吉昂Mabinogion》。迪士尼公司曾把《布》其中一部《黑神魔》拍成动画，它是迪士尼历史上第一部有电脑参与制作的电影，该片使动画制作进入了新时代，但票房惨败。）
Judy Blume
Judy Blume, it seems, got us through just
about everything. From Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing to Otherwise Known as
Sheila the Great to Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret (which is probably
technically a YA novel — Blume excels at both), she always manages to capture
the trauma and joy and utter ridiculousness of being a kid like no one else.
朱蒂·布鲁姆
朱蒂·布鲁姆似乎陪伴了我们走过整个童年，从《四年级的无聊事》到《了不起谢拉》，再到《神啊,你在那里吗》（这本严格讲可能算青少年读物，布鲁姆两者都拿手），她总试图记录创伤、欢乐和作为一名与众不同孩子的荒谬。
评论部分：
errr, one massive and obvious omission Roald
Dahl! Wrote more well known & loved books than any in your list, and
certainly ‘better’ than JK Rowling (unless this list is by an eight year old
who has never read any Roald Dahl), that’s for sure!
绝对明显漏掉了罗尔德·达尔，他写的书比名单上的任何书都更受欢迎，当然也好过JK·罗琳了（除非这榜单是个没看过罗尔德·达尔任何作品的八岁孩子写的），那是肯定的。
（译注：罗尔德·达尔在中国最知名的儿童文学作品是《查理与巧克力工厂》，他写的成人短篇小说Man from the South多次被希区柯克和昆汀塔伦蒂诺等人改编为电影和电视剧，他还是007电影系列之雷霆谷的编剧，前妻是第36届奥斯卡最佳女主角得主Patricia Neal。Roald Dahl在世时因反犹而饱受争议。）

Where is A. A. Milne, with Winnie the Pooh and
The House at Pooh Corner?! Before Disney got to them, these books were filled
with joy, magic, poignancy, and adventure – true timeless classics.
写《小熊维尼》和《小熊维尼的小屋》的A. A. 米尔恩呢？在迪士尼改编以前，这部系列书充满了欢乐、魔力、辛辣和冒险，真正永恒的经典。

Seriously, Astrid Lindgren and Tove Jansson !?
认真地说，阿斯特里德·林格伦和托夫·杨森 !?
（译注：瑞典儿童文学女作家阿斯特里德·林格伦在中国最著名的作品是《长袜子皮皮》和《小飞人》）
（译注：芬兰女作家托夫·杨森曾作《木民谷》系列故事）

I like this list. I know how hard it is to
encompass something like ALL of children’s literature into a list of 10.
This is a pretty good start and I think you
could add Robert Cormier, who wrote The Chocolate War and I am the Cheese.
我喜欢这榜单，我知道把所有儿童文学家汇总成一个只有10位作家的榜单有多难。这是个很好的开始，我想你应该把创作了《巧克力战争》和《我是奶酪》的罗伯特·科米尔加进榜单里。
（译注：《巧克力战争》与《麦田里的守望者》和《杀死一只知更鸟》齐名，是20世纪最具争议的青少年文学作品，至今仍长踞美国禁书榜榜首。罗伯特·科米尔喜写人性中黑暗面，他大部分作品中主角都以失败告终。）

Again, it’s hard to include everyone in a list
of 10, but Roald Dahl seems like a glaring omission! And when I was a kid I
loved LOVED the Junie B. Jones books by Barbara Park, as well as the books by
Gail Carson Levine (who I guess would be better classified as YA…but still)
重复下，把这么多作家汇总成只有10位作家的榜单很困难，但明显遗漏了罗尔德·达尔！我还是小孩时那么爱巴巴拉·帕克写的《朱尼·琼斯》系列，还有盖尔·卡森·列文的作品（最好将其列为青少年读物，但还是推）。
（译注：盖尔·卡森·列文获纽奖作品《魔法灰姑娘》后改编为电影，由安妮·海瑟薇主演。）
Matt - Tuesday Mar 20, 2012 at 11:59 am
Nicely done list — I mean, with the inclusion
of Madeline L’Engle, Philip Pullman, and E. L. Koingsburg, it’s difficult to
complain. Except of course with the exclusion of Norton Juster. Get rid of C.
S. Lewis and include Juster.
Also, I’m glad to see J. K. Rowling included
on here. Missing Roald Dahl is a bit of a disappointment, but I consider
Rowling, particularly toward the end of the series (whether she needed a
stronger editor or not) to be a much stronger writer than Dahl.
不错的榜单，有马德琳·英格、菲力普·普曼和E.L.柯尼斯伯格，很难说它不好，除了没有诺顿·贾斯特，把 C·S·刘易斯去掉换上贾斯特。
还有，很高兴J·K·罗琳在榜上。没有罗尔德·达尔有点小失望，我认为罗琳比达尔在系列作品的收尾上要强（不管前者是否需要配个强力编辑）。
（译注：诺顿·贾斯特：最知名的作品是《神奇的收费亭》，他写作并绘制插图的《点与线》被拍成电影，获得过奥斯卡最佳动画短片奖。）

Lets get one thing straight, CS Lewis towers
above Pullman, there no comparison. Also, There are about 4 selections that
could have been replaced with Kenneth Grahame.
直说吧，C·S·刘易斯比普曼强多了，两位没法比。而且肯尼斯·格雷厄姆能取代榜上4位作家。

Restricting myself to the 9-13 age range, some
prominent missing authors: Christopher Paul Curtis, Roald Dahl, Jacqueline
Woodson, Shaun Tan, Tove Jansson. I realize that it’s hard to include all in a
top 10, so here are two you could cut: Lewis, & L’Engle. Both wrote for
young readers, but how many of their books are great? Lion, the Witch, &
the Wardrobe (for Lewis), and A Wrinkle in Time (L’Engle). But The Magician’s
Nephew? Not so much.
年龄限制在9-13岁的话，还遗漏了几个知名作家：克里斯托弗·保罗·柯蒂斯、罗尔德·达尔、杰奎琳·武森、陈志勇和托夫·杨森。我想在所有作家中只列前十位是困难的，可以把刘易斯和英格删掉。都是给孩子的书，但他们有几本杰作呢？只有《纳尼亚传奇》和《时间的皱纹》。《魔术师的侄子》么？（C·S·刘易斯作）可不够好。
（译注：克里斯托弗·保罗·柯蒂斯的《我是巴德 不是巴弟》获2000年纽伯瑞金奖，他是首位获纽金奖的非裔男作家）
（译注：澳洲华裔插画家陈志勇的代表作是《观像镜》、《兔子》和《抵岸》。绘本《失物招领》改编后获2011年奥斯卡最佳动画短片奖。）

I read THE GIVER in elementary school and
loved it. I read it in high school and thought I understood all the symbolism.
I read it again in college and discovered so much more. Now I read it to my kids
and fell in love all over again. Thank you Lois Lowry for writing books that
matter.
小学时读过《记忆传授人》，我特喜欢。高中读时我觉得明白了书中所有的象征意义，上大学再读理解又深了一层。现在我给自己的孩子读这本书还喜欢重温它，感谢洛伊丝·劳里的创作。

Hats off for naming Lowry as one of the Top
10! I’m rooting for her as a future ambassador of children’s literature. Among
other things, she’s enormously versatile: realistic fiction, sci-fi, historical
fiction; humor and tragedy; chapter books through middle-grade. In addition,
while the above description celebrates her bravery in taking on complex topics,
let’s also mention her humor! ANASTASIA AT THIS ADDRESS still makes me laugh
harder than just about any book, and books like THE GIVER include funny moments
as well. Happy birthday to one of my enduringly favorite writers, and thanks to
her for working so hard to grace our shelves.
One peeve, though: No Walter Dean Myers??
欣赏前10榜单中提名劳里！我全力支持她成为儿童文学的未来大使。此外她还多才多艺：现实、科幻、历史体裁小说、悲喜剧及适合中高年级看的章回小说都拿手。还有，既然上文中赞扬她勇于创作复杂题材，让我们聊聊她的幽默吧！《我交了一个笔友》比任何书都搞笑，像《记忆传授人》这样的书中也有滑稽场面。祝我中意已久的作家生日快乐，感谢她努力写作给我们的书架增添了光彩。
只恼一点：为什么没有沃尔特·迪恩·迈尔??
（译注：沃尔特·迪恩·迈尔：知名非裔作家，涉及越战的《堕落天使》一书曾被禁。）

Well isn’t Hans Christian Andersen missing!? I
mean he is the man giving name to the award you call “The Nobel Prize for
children’s literature”… Well I have to admit I’m European so I don’t know a few
of these authors and therefore I don’t want to choose who goes – Just saying
that H. C. Andersen should definitely be on the list (and Astrid Lindgren too).
漏了安徒生？儿童文学诺贝尔奖（国际安徒生文学大奖）可是以他的名字命名的。好吧我承认我是欧洲人，对有些作者不了解，所以不想删掉谁，我只想说安徒生绝对应该上榜（还有阿斯特里德·林格伦）。

where is Astrid Lindgren with Pippi Lonckstocking, Emil of Lonneberga, Karlsson

Some great choices here but I think you are
missing Louis Sachar – Sideways Stories from Wayside School and Theres a Boy in
the Girls Bathroom were my absolute favorite books / series when I was a kid.
有很多作家可选，但我想你漏了路易斯·查尔，《歪歪小学的荒诞故事》和《女生厕所里有个男生》等系列曾是我小时的最爱。

I strongly second Susan Cooper and the Dark is
Rising series. So so so good and original. I read this series at least 5 times

So many good authors for children! My favorite
is Natalie Babbitt. Tuck Everlasting is a classic. Also Louise Fitzhugh.
这么多优秀的儿童文学作家！我偏爱娜塔丽·巴比特，《真爱无尽》是部经典， 还有路易丝·费兹修。

Louise Fitzhugh should be included for Harriet
the Spy and The Long Secret, as should L.M Montgomery for the Anne of Green

路易丝·费兹修应为《小间谍哈瑞特》和《长久的秘密》上榜，还有写《绿山墙的安妮》的露西·莫德·蒙哥马利也是，伊妮·布莱顿和肯尼斯·格雷厄姆在哪儿？

Not only can I not believe you left out L.

the other comments has suggested him. Frankie was awesome; don’t let him be

It is intensely satisfying that so many people
have called for Roald Dahl’s inclusion, and equally satisfying that not a one
has mentioned Suzanne Collins. I’d like to see Diana Wynne Jones on a list like
this, and maybe William Steig, but there’s only so much room, and Pullman is
the only author on it I could bring myself to argue about.
很满意这么多人提罗尔德·达尔，也很满意没人提苏珊·科林斯。我希望戴安娜·万尼·琼斯上榜，也许还有威廉·史塔克，但只能有10人上榜，普曼是榜上我感觉唯一有争议的作家。
（译注：戴安娜·万尼·琼斯最知名作品是《奎师塔门西的众世界》系列、《道尔马克四重奏》系列和《霍尔的移动城堡》系列，吉卜力曾将后者改编为动画电影。）

Oh, what a challenging list to make! So many
great authors. I read voraciously as a child and Enid Blyton was my favorite. I
would also add Dahl to the list. I can see why Dr. Seuss is left off, since I
would guess Seuss books are targeted to a slightly younger demographic. Thanks
for this; it is fun to see what others have suggested…I will look into several
of those suggested to read to my young nieces!
真是个难选的榜单！好作家有这么多。我小时读书如饥似渴，那时最爱伊妮·布莱顿，我也会推达尔上榜。我知道苏斯博士为什么落榜，我猜是因为他的读者群都是小小朋友的缘故。感谢这个榜单，看其它人的推荐挺有意思的，我会翻翻这些推荐书买给我的小侄女！
Gaby - Wednesday Mar 21, 2012 at 4:43 pm
I would have dropped JK Rowling for some of
the classics mentioned above – sure, she’s been a craze for the past decade,
but I don’t know if she has the continued staying power of the others on the
list. As for other additions, Tamora Pierce and Diana Wynn Jones would be some
good ones. I think a second list is in order.
我不会把J·K·罗琳算到以上经典作家中，当然她在过去10年风靡一时，但我不知道她是否和榜单上其它人一样有持久力。塔莫拉·皮尔斯和戴安娜·万尼·琼斯是补充的好人选。我想再列份榜单会比较合适。
（译注：塔莫拉·皮尔斯最受欢迎小说是《阿莱娜：第一次冒险》，她似乎对女权主义题材特别感兴趣。）

E.B. White of course, of course – for creating
not just one popular series but several wholly imagined books and their worlds
of characters – Stuart Little, Charlotte’s Web, Trumpet of the Swan – since you
have mentioned several authors who have withstood the test of time, I think
there should be two categories one contemporary/poplular, and another to make
room for those who are proven undoubtedly timeless.
当然应该有E·B·怀特，他创造了不止一个畅销系列，还创作了很多完全虚构的作品和文中人物的世界——如《精灵鼠小弟》、《夏洛特的网》、《吹小号的天鹅》，既然你们提到很多经受住时间考验的作家，我想榜单就应该分成两部分，一部分是当代/流行作家，另一部分留给真正能留芳百世的作家。

I’d have to agree with most people and say
where is Roald Dahl and Enid Blyton?? It is because of these two writers that I
began my love of literature and haven’t looked back since. I still enjoy
grabbing one of their books and diving into it every now and again.
我必须同意大多数人的意见，罗尔德·达尔和伊妮·布莱顿在哪儿?? 就因为这两个人我义无反顾地爱上文学，有时我还是喜欢抓本他们的书一头扎进去。

Where’s JRR Tolkien? I agree about Christopher
Paul Curtis and many others that could have been included.
J·R·R·托尔金在哪儿? 我觉得克里斯托弗·保罗·柯蒂斯和其它作家本应上榜的。

Tom Parrett - Wednesday Mar 21, 2012 at 5:57

Arthur Ransome is a terrible omission. The
Swallows and Amazons series, because it involves boats, is timeless. The rural
Lake District world Ransome uses, unlike many on this list, is no adult-spun
fantasy—it resembles ours.
And Robert Louis Stevenson? Hard to beat
Kidnapped or Treasure Island or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for drama.
I read a lot of Dickens before I was 12. Many
of his characters are children or young adults (Great Expectations, David
Copperfield, Oliver Twist).
Compared to these three, all but a few on the
list seem about as richly imagined and well-written as video games.
遗漏了亚瑟·兰塞姆糟透了。有关航行的《燕子和鹦鹉》系列永远是经典。与榜上多数作品不同，兰塞姆写的湖区田园风光(英格兰西北部风景地)不是大人编造的空想，它就是我们自己的梦想。
罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森如何？《绑架》、《金银岛》和戏剧文学《化身博士》很难逾越。
12岁前我读了很多狄更斯的书，书中很多人物是儿童或少年（《远大前程》、《大卫·科波菲尔》、《雾都孤儿》）。
与这三位相比，所有上榜作家中只有少数人的创作想像丰富而精彩，就像电子游戏一样。

The problem with lists like this is that educators,
librarians, and critics are far more fond of these books than children! As a
former fourth grade teacher (and mother of two grown children), I can assure
you that these books were usually read only when required by the curriculum.
Was a rare child who eagerly plucked them off a book shelf for their reading
pleasure!
此类榜单的问题在于教育家、图书馆员和评论家们比孩子们更喜欢这些书！作为一个前四年级的老师和两个孩子母亲，我敢担保这些书只在课程要求时才会被读，很少有孩子为读书乐趣才急着把它们从书架上拿下来！
Reda Rountree - Thursday Mar 22, 2012 at 4:47

A wonderful list, for sure, but you left off
the most gifted children’s writer of the last century, J.M. Barrie. No
children’s author has encompassed a kid’s wonderment and excitement and
experience the way he did in “Peter Pan.” And no other author has done so much
to help children with the writing of one book, leaving it to the Children’s
Hospital in London. What an amazing man.
很棒的榜单，但你漏了上世纪最有才华的儿童文学家詹姆斯·巴里。没谁像他的《彼得潘》那样让孩子体验惊奇刺激。也没谁像他那样的帮助孩子，写了本书将版权留给伦敦的儿童医院，多了不起的一个人。
（译注：作为伦敦大奥蒙德街儿童医院的主要捐助人之一的詹姆斯·巴里在遗嘱中将《彼得潘》的版权无偿转让给了医院）

I agree that I wished that Natalie Babbit was
included in the list, perhaps instead of Philip Pullman and also Frances
Hodgson Burnett or Louisa May Alcott instead of Lewis Carroll….. All and all it
was a surprisingly good list…
我同意并希望娜塔丽·巴比特上榜将菲力普·普曼替下，并用弗朗西丝·霍奇森·伯内特或路易莎·梅·奥尔科特代替刘易斯·卡罗尔，总之要这样就是个出奇棒的榜单了。

Had to read down, down, down the list to thank

Susan’s JRR Tolkien, thanks to Reda for J.M. Barrie and to Karen for (hooray)
T.H. White, but am I the only one to have read and re-read Thornton W. Burgess?
Sitting at the library, reading all of the “West Wind” and “When” stories was
such a fond memory that I searched out a copy for my own.
必须往下读呀读呀，谢谢David提到莱曼·弗兰克·鲍姆、fringearte提到E·B·怀特、Susan提到JRR 托尔金、Reda提到詹姆斯·巴里、Karen提到T·H·怀特(喝彩)，可只有我一人读过并且再读桑顿·柏基斯么？坐在图书馆里读全套的“西风母亲”和“那时”系列故事是多么美好的回忆，我找了他的一套书自己留着看。

Carol, I guess I was that rare child. I read
all these books voluntarily, and I’m guessing I’m not alone, judging by all the
comments here.
The Chronicles of Narnia were life-changing
for me (not so much Phillip Pullman, although he is a great writer and you were
right to include him). Obviously, this is a short list, but I agree Roald Dahl,
LM Montgomery (also life-changing for me), Astrid Lindgren and Enid Blyton
needed to be included. Louisa Mae Alcott and Beverly Cleary and whoever wrote
Ramona the Spy were all highly influential, too.
And I love Suzanne Collins (to address the
comment above) and I think she is an excellent writer, but she’s not Top 10.
That’s a very tough list to make.
楼上的Carol，我想我就是那少数孩子。我是自愿读的这些书，从这些评论看我也不是一个人。
读《纳尼亚传奇》对我是命运转折（菲力普·普曼就没那么大影响力，尽管他是不错，你选他是对的）。显然这榜单太短，我提名罗尔德·达尔和露西·莫德·蒙哥马利（她也改变了我），阿斯特里德·林格伦和伊妮·布莱顿也应入选，路易莎·梅·奥尔科特、贝芙莉·克莱瑞和写雷梦拉是个间谍的歌也颇有影响力。
我也爱苏珊·科林斯（回应楼上的评论），我觉得她很棒但还不能进前10位，这榜其实很难选。
（译注：贝芙莉·克莱瑞曾写Ramona雷梦拉系列，美国第一支朋克乐队就以Ramonas命名，其专辑《Rocket to Russia》还收录了一首名为Ramona的歌，歌词为Sweet sweet
little Ramona，I think I\'ll
try and phone her I let her in if you\'re wondering why Cause she\'s a spy for
the BBI。该专辑于1977年发行，反映了当时冷战美苏争霸下部分美国人的心态，这歌虽然不知所云但显然被记住了。）

It’s very difficult to choose just ten authors
as the very best, but I encourage all of you pushing for authors like Astrid
Lindgren and Dr. Seuss to go back and re-read the opening bit of this article.
The selected authors had to have written books in English for the 9-12 age set.
I agree that many more authors deserve to be named as “the best”, but I commend
this article for taking a shot at the top 10.
很难选谁是最佳前10作家，但我劝推阿斯特里德·林格伦和苏斯博士的人回去再读读文章开头写的，被选对象必须是为9-12岁年龄段写作的英文作家。我认同有许多其它作家同样能被称为“最佳”，但我还是要称赞这篇推出前10榜单的文章。

Just when I was feeling sad about some of the
missing authors on your list, I read the comments and everyone began to
mentioned them. I was bummed about Roald Dahl, too. I’m wondering if you
limited your list to the authors of chapter books, and not picture books.
Lastly, there was no mention of any authors of color. Why not?
虽然对有些作家没上榜感到难过，但评论里每个人都开始提到他们了，罗尔德·达尔没上榜我也很郁闷。我在奇怪作者是否只选故事书作家而不选图画故事书作家上榜，最后，都没人提过插画作家，为什么没人提？

~ Goodnight Mister Tom by Michelle Magorian
~ Babe the Gallant Pig by Dick-King Smith (and
The Water Horse)
~ Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
~ Lassie Come Home by Eric Knight
~ Mrs. Frisby & The Rats of NIMH by Robert
C. O’Brien
The authors that wrote these books wrote
wonderful stories that transported the reader into another time and place ~
I know for me with my bad legs (and when I was
young a stuttering problem) reading these timeless books helped ease the
loneliness of my childhood ~
今晚我翻了翻以前看过的书，发现了小时喜欢的几篇杰作：
凯特·道格拉斯·维珍写的《太阳溪农场的吕贝卡》
米歇尔·麦格里安写的《晚安汤姆》
狄克·金-史密斯写的《小猪宝贝》和《尼斯湖水怪》
威尔逊·罗尔斯写的《红色羊齿草的故乡》
艾里克·耐特写的《灵犬莱西》
罗伯特·奥布赖恩写的《费里斯比夫人和尼姆老鼠》
写这些作品的作家创作的精彩故事带领读者穿梭到了另外一个时空~
对于双腿不灵便（小时还口吃）的我，读这些不朽之作缓解了我童年的孤独~
