Some of my favorite non-Businessweek features that were published this year:
今年发布的一些我最喜欢的非商业周刊专题：
“Lost at Sea,” Jon Ronson, The Guardian
《迷失在海上》，乔恩·罗森，《卫报》
This piece combines a genre I love—the gritty crime story—with the utter weirdness of the cruise ship industry.
这部作品结合了我喜欢的类型——残酷的犯罪故事——和游轮行业的奇特之处。
Apparently people disappear from cruise ships all the time, but you usually don’t hear about it because the cruise lines keep it quiet.
显然，人们总是从游轮上消失，但你通常不会听说，因为游轮公司保持安静。
Ronson goes deep into the bizarre cruise culture as he tries to figure out what happened to Rebecca Coriam, who vanished from the Disney Wonder last March.
罗森深入研究了奇异的游轮文化，试图弄清楚丽贝卡·科里亚姆（Rebecca Coriam）身上发生了什么，丽贝卡·科里亚姆去年三月从迪士尼奇观号上消失了。
“All The Angry People,” George Packer, The New Yorker
《所有愤怒的人》，乔治·帕克，《纽约客》
This story accomplished what seemed almost impossible, at least from an editor’s perspective: it made a compelling narrative out of the Occupy Wall Street encampment in lower Manhattan.
这个故事完成了看似几乎不可能的事情，至少从编辑的角度来看是这样：它以曼哈顿下城的“占领华尔街”营地为背景，讲述了一个引人入胜的故事。
Even though OWS was being covered to death, this story—along with Bloomberg Businessweek’s own fine contribution, Drake Bennett’s profile of David Graeber—found a new angle on it and made it fresh and compelling.
尽管 OWS 被报道得要命，但这个故事——加上《彭博商业周刊》自己的精彩贡献、德雷克·贝内特 (Drake Bennett) 对大卫·格雷伯 (David Graeber) 的简介——找到了一个新的角度，让它变得新鲜而引人注目。
“The Girl from Trails End,” Kathy Dobie, GQ
《来自轨迹尽头的女孩》，凯西·多比，《GQ》
This devastating story just really stayed with me.
这个毁灭性的故事让我印象深刻。
“California and Bust,” Michael Lewis, Vanity Fair
《加州与胸围》，迈克尔·刘易斯，《名利场》
His piece about Iceland (“Wall Street on the Tundra”) is my favorite one he’s done about the global financial crisis, but Michael Lewis’s breakdown of the fiscal disaster that is California was his best in 2011.
他关于冰岛的文章（《苔原上的华尔街》）是他关于全球金融危机的文章中我最喜欢的一篇，但迈克尔·刘易斯 (Michael Lewis) 对加州财政灾难的剖析是他 2011 年最好的一篇。
It really makes you think about the scary place we might be headed as a country, and the scene with Arnold Schwarzenegger is priceless.
这确实让你想到我们作为一个国家可能走向的可怕地方，而阿诺德·施瓦辛格的场景是无价的。
“Lady, Where’s My Magazine**?” Ann Friedman
“女士，我的杂志**在哪里？”安·弗里德曼
This is a parody, and it isn’t terribly long, so I’m not sure that it qualifies.
这是一个模仿，而且不是很长，所以我不确定它是否合格。
But it is hilarious, and perfectly illustrates much of what is wrong with the publishing business.
但这很搞笑，并且完美地说明了出版业的大部分问题。
