雨果奖很牛X吗？

雨果奖（Hugo Award）得名于《惊奇故事杂志》（Amazing Stories）的创办人雨果·根斯巴克（Hugo Gernsback），自1953年起，每年由“世界科幻协会”（World Science Fiction Society，简称WSFS）所颁发，正式名为“科幻成就奖”（The Science Fiction Achievement Award）。

雨果奖的分量到底有多重？对于全世界的SF小说作家而言，获得雨果奖=获得了科幻艺术界的诺贝尔奖，它与星云奖等同为最具权威也是影响世界的两项科幻大奖。

雨果奖（英文：Hugo Award）是一个颁发给科幻或奇幻小说的文学奖。每年由世界科幻年会（Worldcon, World Science Fiction Convention）的参加者投票，从上年度内的作品中选出获奖者，其选举过程则由世界科幻社群（WSFS）制订。与星云奖同为科幻界最受瞩目的年度奖项。

This is one of the best science fiction books I have ever read. The background relies heavily on physics which makes it fascinating. The author does an excellent job of weaving real concepts into his story. If you enjoy physics, this is a must read.
这是我读过最棒的科幻小说之一！浓墨重彩的物理学背景使得整个故事十分引人入胜。作者在将真实概念编入故事这一点上做得无与伦比的出色！如果你喜欢物理学，一定要读一读这本书。

千万千万千万至少不要半途而弃，刘大师的情节进展循序渐进步步前行。大爱这本书！如果你发现自己也在疑惑“到底有啥神奇之处？”一定要继续读下去。其乐无穷哦！

Note that this is the first of an original trilogy by the author, and I'm hooked.
PS：这是作者原着三部曲的首章，而我已经欲罢不能了呢！
