(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

The "best books of the year" list is a time-honored tradition among media outlets¹ and publishers, with selections rolling in just after Thanksgiving.

“年度最佳读物”是各媒体渠道和出版商历史悠久的传统，感恩节后便有候选书本蜂拥而来。

A range of novels were selected last week. Among them were Kazuo Ishiguro's strange fable-like fantasy, Alexandra Kleeman's satire², and, apparently³, Barack Obama's favorite book of the year: Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff.

It's a deeply personal story of marriage and secrets.

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.

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.

But, Obama's been exploring literary territory even more than usual lately.

Earlier this year, he interviewed another National Book Award nominee⁴, Marilynne Robinson, about community, violence and othering in America.
