我们为什么需要科幻文学？

不同的科幻作者，心里可能都会有不同的答案。

在“大刘”看来，时代肯定需要科幻小说。

“科技和想象力结合起来，

能为我们描绘出一种未来的图景。”

Why do we need science fiction?Different science fiction writers bear different answers in mind.From Liu Cixin’s point of view, we definitely need science fictions. “If we combine technology and imagination, we will depict a promising blueprint for our future.”

他的小说，总是以宏大的视野、深刻的思考、精彩的故事吸引着无数读者。

In fact, Liu Cixin’s science fiction novels always tell a big story with profound thinkings and a winding plot, attracting thousands of readers.

当下看，虽然科技的发展一定程度降低了科幻小说的“神奇感”，但大家对未来的畅想从不停歇——无限未知所带来的可能性永远让人心驰神往。

At the moment, though the development of technology somehow makes the “mysteriousness” of science fiction fade away, people’s imaginations of the future world never stop. It is the possibility that brought by the infinite and unknown future that allures people to think about it.

正如刘慈欣接受采访时所说：“希望100年后的人类，远远超出当下科幻作家的想象。”

As Liu Cixin said during the interview: "I hope that after 100 years, human beings will have imaginations that go far beyond that of the science fiction writers now."
