“无字书”热销英国：男人除了Sex还想些什么？

A book with entirely blank pages has become a bestseller after becoming a hit with students. 一本里面全是白纸的书现在成为英国学生人手必备的畅销书。究竟是为什么？“Professor” Sheridan Simove has produced a 200 page book entitled “What Every Man Thinks about Apart From Sex”. Sheridan Simove“教授”出了本书，名叫《男人的脑子里除了性还有什么》。（所以，这本书里什么都没有，全是一页页的白纸）The work has sold out online on Amazon following heavy promotion in student unions across Britain. 在广受追捧之后，亚马逊书店这本书已经卖得脱销了。The £4.69 item, which was intended as a novelty gift, is being used by students as a notebook. 本书售价4.69英榜，被学生们拿来当笔记本用。Nottingham university student Jess Lloyd said: “I bought a copy for my mate as a joke and he started using it as a note pad for lectures. Now everyone seems to have one. It’s started a real craze on campus.” 一位学生说：“我本来买这本书是要送给我哥们的，现在那哥们用这个来记笔记了。似乎所有人都开始用这个，现在大学里这个‘笔记本’超火。”“Author” Sheridan Simove said: “This book is the result of 39 years of painstaking research and practical study into the subject. I left nothing to chance and really threw myself into my work. 作者本人说：“这本书是39年来辛勤研究和实地考察的结晶，我在写这本书时殚精竭虑，绝对不是异想天开。”“After many years of hard work I finally realised that men think of absolutely nothing apart from sex. It was a shocking conclusion and I realised that the world needed to be informed of my findings.“经过多年研究，我终于发现男人除了性之外什么都不知道。这个结论非常惊人，我认为世人有必要对此有所了解。”“I never thought for one moment that my life’s work would be embraced by Britain’s students in their thousands. It is very gratifying to see my book outselling many other academic works whose authors claim to have worked even harder than I to break new ground and further the extent of human knowledge.”“我很高兴能看到，有如此多的学生热爱我的作品，甚于很多其他学术著作。可笑的是那些自以为是的学者们还声称他们在开拓研究领域、传播知识上花的心血比我多。”
