The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger is an unforgettable book about love, loss, and time travel. The book’s main characters are Henry DeTamble and Clare Abshire. The book begins with a confusing situation. They see each other at the library when Clare is 20 years old and Henry is 28. Although Henry doesn’t know Clare, she had met him before when she was six. That’s because Henry has a strange genetic disorder that forces him to travel backwards and forwards through time. He has no control over when he leaves or the places he travels to. Throughout the story, Henry meets his wife at different ages and stages of their lives.
奧黛麗‧尼芬格所著的《時空旅人之妻》，是關於愛情、失落以及時空旅行的一本令人難忘的書。本書的兩位主角是亨利‧狄譚伯和克萊兒‧艾布希爾。故事在一個令人困惑的狀況下展開。他們在圖書館中見到彼此時，那時克萊兒二十歲，而亨利是二十八歲。雖然亨利還不認識克萊兒，但她卻在之前就見過亨利了，那時她才六歲。那是由於亨利患有某種不尋常的遺傳性疾病，迫使他在時空裡來來回回地穿梭。他控制不了何時離開或是他要前往的地方。在整篇故事中，亨利與他的妻子在彼此生命中不同的年紀與階段相遇。
This is not the first book to deal with romance and time travel. However, it does offer a new view on the subject. Niffenegger created the book as a way to express her feelings about the failed relationships in her life. She uses time travel to show how emotional and physical distance can make communication difficult. The idea of time travel also represents how partners can feel as if they are in different places in their relationship.
這並不是第一本涉及愛情與時空旅行的書。但它的確在同樣的主題上提出了一種新觀點。尼芬格把創作這本書當作表達她在生命中歷經感情失敗感受的一種方式。她利用時空旅行來說明情感上及空間上的距離能造成溝通的困難。時空旅行的概念也代表猶如身處異地的情侶的感受。
