But has he become more conventional?在村上春树的新书里，他将一只黑猫、两轮月亮以及一群夜晚小小人拟人化。但他是否变得更保守点了呢？Haruki Murakami filches from George Orwells “Nineteen Eighty-Four” for the title of his new novel, “1Q84”, making a play on kyu, the Japanese word for nine, by transposing the letter “Q” for the number “9”. Significantly, the action also takes place over the last nine months of 1984. But it would be a mistake to conclude from this that Japans magical postmodernist has spent nearly 1,000 pages writing about a dystopian world where couples make love in an ash glade, hardly daring to speak because of the all-listening microphones in the trees. Mr Murakamis main influence here is not so much Orwell as Philip Pullman; his “1Q84” less a stairway to another world than a heave-ho into a whole new universe.村上春树的新书《1Q84》书名的灵感来自于对乔治·奥威尔（ George Orwell）《1984》一书的借鉴（他把“9”改成了“Q，而在日语里，“9”的发音与Q谐音）。此外，值得注意的是，书里故事发生的时间也是1984年最后的9个月。因此，如果错误地认为这位日本后现代魔幻大师花了近1000页的笔墨，只为描写一个情侣在野外做爱，并由于树上装有所有人都能听到的窃听器而不敢发出丝毫声音的反乌托邦世界，这就错了。但是村上春树在这里的主要影响并不像奥威尔或是菲利普·普尔曼（Philip Pullman）一样，他的《1Q84》一书与其说是通往另一个世界的阶梯，还不如说是完全逃向一个全新的世界。Sitting in a taxi on the gridlocked elevated Metropolitan Expressway in Tokyo, Aomame, the skinny heroine with asymmetric breasts (her name means “green peas”), is catapulted into action when she hears Janaceks “Sinfonietta” on the radio. Her cabbie tells her she can beat the traffic by hopping out of the car and down an emergency staircase at the next exit. He warns her that things will not be the same. But it is only when Aomame notices that the policemen have swapped their holstered revolvers for bulky semi-automatic weapons that she realises she has entered a parallel universe.当身材纤瘦、两个乳房不对称的女主角青豆（Aomame，其意为“绿色的豆子”）坐在一辆出租车里，在堵得水泄不通的东京高速公路上蹒跚前行时，车里广播放着亚纳切克（Aomame）的小交响曲，此时此刻，故事开始了。出租车司机告诉青豆说
