The "best books of the year" list is a time-honored tradition among media outlets and publishers, with selections rolling in just after Thanksgiving.
“年度最佳讀物”是各媒體渠道和出版商歷史悠久的傳統(tǒng)，感恩節(jié)后便有候選書本蜂擁而來。

A range of novels were selected last week. Among them were Kazuo Ishiguro's strange fable-like fantasy, Alexandra Kleeman's satire, and, apparently, Barack Obama's favorite book of the year: Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff.
上周選出了各類小說，其中有石黑一雄寓言式奇幻小說、亞歷山德拉·卡里曼的諷刺作品，顯然還有巴拉克·奧巴馬的年度最愛：勞倫·格羅夫的《命運(yùn)女神和復(fù)仇女神》。

It's a deeply personal story of marriage and secrets.
這則故事關(guān)婚姻和秘密，內(nèi)容極其私密。

At first, the book seems an unconventional choice for the president. It's not political, and there's not a word in it about foreign relations.
期初，這本書對(duì)總統(tǒng)而言看起來是不合常規(guī)的選擇。不是政論小說，對(duì)外交關(guān)系不著一字。

In fact, Groff's National Book Award-nominated story is deeply personal -- it's the story of a marriage from the secretive perspectives of both partners.
事實(shí)上，格羅夫獲美國國家圖書獎(jiǎng)提名的故事非常個(gè)人化，從愛侶雙方秘密的視角講述了婚姻的故事。

But, Obama's been exploring literary territory even more than usual lately.
但近日奧巴馬探尋文學(xué)領(lǐng)域比以往深入得多。

Earlier this year, he interviewed another National Book Award nominee, Marilynne Robinson, about community, violence and othering in America.
年初，奧巴馬就社區(qū)、暴力還有美國他者化問題采訪了另一位被美國國家圖書獎(jiǎng)提名的作者瑪麗蓮·魯濱遜。
