In the late 1970s, when "Where the Wild Things Are" was only 15 years old (it is turning 50 soon), it was already, indisputably, a classic.
在70年代末，也就是《野獸出沒(méi)的地方》出版15年的時(shí)候，這本書(shū)已經(jīng)毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)的成為了一本經(jīng)典之作。

But not just a classic of children's books. It was a seminal book about childhood, and a journal of the life of an artist, and a clarion call for the satisfaction of those twin and opposite needs: independence and society.
它不只是兒童文學(xué)的經(jīng)典之作。它是關(guān)于童年的一本開(kāi)創(chuàng)性書(shū)籍，是一位藝術(shù)家生活的記錄，是對(duì)兩個(gè)相連有對(duì)立面：個(gè)體與社會(huì)的宣稱(chēng)。

For more than 50 years, Sendak wrote and illustrated books focusing on kids’ fears, insecurities, and complexes. “Where the Wild Things Are,” first published in 1963, changed the image of kids in literature as well-scrubbed and well behaved.
在過(guò)去的50多年里，桑達(dá)克的作品主要描繪了孩子的恐懼感、不安全感和復(fù)雜的心理?！兑矮F出沒(méi)的地方》于1963年一上市，就推翻了文學(xué)作品中孩子聽(tīng)話(huà)的形象。

He showed how the inner world of even the most frail is inhabited by wild things.
他給我們展示了即便是一個(gè)苦與疾病無(wú)休止困擾的虛弱孩子的內(nèi)心世界里也住著一個(gè)野獸。

he cherished the letters that individual children sent him unbidden, which burst with the sparks that his work had ignited.
他很珍視孩子們自發(fā)寫(xiě)給他的信，信中滿(mǎn)是他的作品所點(diǎn)亮的火花。

“Dear Mr. Sendak,” read one, from an 8-year-old boy. “How much does it cost to get to where the wild things are? If it is not expensive, my sister and I would like to spend the summer there.”
“親愛(ài)的桑達(dá)克先生”，一個(gè)八歲的男孩寫(xiě)道：“要花多少錢(qián)才能去野獸出沒(méi)的國(guó)度？要是不貴的話(huà)，我和我的妹妹想去那兒過(guò)暑假。
