• “The Food at our Feet,” by Jane Kramer, The New Yorker
• “我们脚下的食物”，Jane Kramer，《纽约客》
Kramer can almost make you smell and taste the stuff she’s picking: mint, asparagus, fennel, mushrooms.
克莱默几乎可以让你闻到并尝到她采摘的东西：薄荷、芦笋、茴香、蘑菇。
Plus, maybe my favorite lead sentence of the year: “I spent the summer foraging, like an early hominid with clothes.”
另外，也许是我今年最喜欢的一句话：“我整个夏天都在觅食，就像穿着衣服的早期原始人类一样。”
• “The Kill Team,” by Mark Boal, Rolling Stone
• 《杀戮小队》，马克·鲍尔 (Mark Boal)，滚石乐队
The disturbing investigation into an Army unit in Afghanistan that was killing civilians for sport.
对阿富汗一支陆军部队因娱乐而杀害平民的调查令人不安。
• “Liking Is for Cowards.
• “喜欢是懦夫的专利。
Go for What Hurts,” by Jonathan Franzen, New York Times
去寻找伤害的东西”，乔纳森·弗兰岑，《纽约时报》
I kind of didn’t want to like this piece, but Franzen’s assessment of “consumer technology products,” and our fraught relationships with them, feels right on.
我有点不想喜欢这篇文章，但弗兰岑对“消费技术产品”的评估，以及我们与它们之间令人担忧的关系，感觉很对。
• “The Day that Damned the Dodgers,” by Lee Jenkins, Sports Illustrated
• 《体育画报》李·詹金斯的《诅咒道奇队的一天》
As a lifelong San Francisco Giants fan, it was heartbreaking to read this chronicle of how the Giants’ greatest rival, the Los Angeles Dodgers, have gone from one of the most respected organizations in sports to one of the most dysfunctional.
作为旧金山巨人队的终生球迷，读到这本关于巨人队最大竞争对手洛杉矶道奇队如何从体育界最受尊敬的组织之一变成最功能失调的组织之一的编年史令人心碎。
• “What Really Happened to Strauss-Kahn?” by Edward Jay Epstein, The New York Review of Books
• “施特劳斯-卡恩到底发生了什么？”作者：爱德华·杰伊·爱泼斯坦，《纽约书评》
A fascinating investigation that suggests Dominique Strauss-Kahn was set up, perhaps even by people associated with French president Nicolas Sarkozy.
一项引人入胜的调查表明，多米尼克·斯特劳斯·卡恩是被陷害的，甚至可能是由与法国总统尼古拉·萨科齐有关的人陷害的。
