They're Back—Again and Again
他們(又)回來了
Veteran novelists and media stars make the top grades
小說老手和媒體寵兒佔滿了排行榜
by Daisy Maryles -- Publishers Weekly, 3/24/2008
What a difference a year makes? Well, very little, when the
topic is bestsellers. In hardcover fiction, the 2007 chart
toppers—James Patterson, Janet Evanovich, Nicholas Sparks, Dean
Koontz and Patricia Cornwell—were also the sales leaders in 2006
and 2005. Sue Grafton and David Baldacci scored in the top 15 in
2007 and in 2005.
一年可帶來甚麼轉變呢?唔,如果談的是暢銷書榜的話,那就沒什麼大差別。精裝小說類裡面,二○○七的暢銷作家包括 James
Patterson、Janet Evanovich、Nicholas Sparks、Dean Koontz 和 Patricia
Cornwell 等人,他們同樣也是○六、○五年的銷售王牌;Sue Grafton 和 David
Baldacci 則占有○七和○五年榜單前十五名的位置。[oc 譯, 懶貓 訂正]
In fact, the only new name on the 2007 hardcover fiction list
with sales of more than 200,000 was Donald McCaig, with Rhett
Butler's People. But to earn the ranking of #16 on the
annual chart, he wrote about a well-known literary figure from one
of the all-time bestsellers. And debut novelists barely made a dent
in 2007 annual sales.
事實上○七年精裝小說榜上,銷售超過二十萬冊唯一的新名字就是寫了「白瑞德的人馬」的
Donald McCaig
,但要爬上年度排行的第十六名,他寫的畢竟也仍是知名的小說人物,取材自一部永遠的暢銷經典。其他新人在該年榜上簡直是毫無影響。
[oc 譯, 南飛烏鵲、
懶貓、丁丁指正]
Patterson had the most success in 2007—he landed five books in
the top 15, with combined sales of more than 4.460 million; in 2006
and 2005, he had four books in the top 15. Khaled Hosseini also had
a stellar year, leading the fiction charts with his second novel,
A Thousand Splendid Suns. His debut, The Kite
Runner, was the bestselling 2007 trade paper店銷平裝書
bestseller.
在2005及2006分別有4本書入選前十五大暢銷排行榜,Patterson在2007獲得更亮眼的成功,總計有5本書名列前十五大排行榜中,總銷售量達到446萬冊。卡勒德‧胡賽尼同樣也有璀燦耀眼的一年,他的第二本小說【燦爛千陽】高居小說排行榜首位。他的首部作品【追風箏的孩子】是2007店銷平裝書暢銷排行榜第一名。[Calvin
譯]
Familiarity breeds success—that held true for many of the
nonfiction top sellers, too. Two books by doctors Roizen and Oz
were in the top 15. Kevin Trudeau, Joel Osteen, Suze Orman, Paula
Deen and Guinness World Records were also back again in lead
positions.
大家耳熟能詳的作者似乎更容易擠進暢銷書的行列之中,這樣的準則同樣可以在非小說類的暢銷排行榜中得到印證。Dr. Roizen 和
Dr. Oz合著的書在排行榜前十五名裡就佔有兩名。而Kevin Trudeau、Joel Osteen、Suze
Orman、Paula Deen 和金氏世界紀錄大全,這些這銷書作者的著作也一直處於領先地位。[Janice 譯, mee、丁丁
指正]
Still, there were many newbies in nonfiction. The bestselling
hardcover book of 2007, The Secret, boasted sales of more
than 4.5 million and dominated the top spot on the charts for 29
weeks. Three of the top 10 2007 bestsellers were from Collins, and
they were all first-timers: altogether, The Dangerous Book for
Boys, The Daring Book for Girls and Deceptively
Delicious sold about 4.7 million copies, enough for
HarperCollins to post gains in the second quarter ended December
31.
不過非小說類還是有許多新手,2007年最暢銷的精裝書《秘密》,就賣了超過450萬本,佔據排行版第一名達29週。2007年暢銷書前十名中,The
Dangerous Book for Boys、The Daring Book for Girls 以及 Deceptively
Delicious
這三本來自Collins出版社的書作者也都是首次出書,總共賣掉大約470萬本,足夠讓HarperCollins出版社在12月31日結束的第二季就宣告獲利。[
mee 譯]
Religion and politics are comfortable bestseller bedfellows, and
2007 had a plethora of books in these categories. Religious leaders
Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes and Max Lucado were in the top 30. Thomas
Nelson, the largest religion publisher in the U.S., had the largest
number of books with sales of 100,000 or more—14 in 2007, compared
to its previous high of 10 in 2006.
宗教與政治類的書籍也很容易就能坐上暢銷書榜,2007年就有太多的暢銷書屬於這兩類。宗教領袖Joel Osteen, T.D.
Jakes 和Max Lucado都在前30名內。美國最大的宗教出版社Thomas
Nelson在2007年就有創紀錄的14本書籍,銷量超過十萬本,刷新2006年的10本紀錄。[wislawa 譯]
Popular political topics among 2007 bestsellers included the
Supreme Court—a memoir by Clarence Thomas and Jeffrey Toobin's
The Nine—and books by former presidents Ronald Reagan,
Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter (and by presidential hopeful Barack
Obama).
在2007年,受歡迎的政治主題包含最高法院(有Clarence
Thomas寫的回憶錄,Jeffrey
Toobin 寫的「九個人」),以及多位前任總統的著作,包括雷根、克林頓和卡特(當然還要加上一位有總統可能的歐巴馬)。
[wislawa 譯, 丁丁 指正]
Cooking and fitness continued to be bestseller favorites. Paula
Deen had three 2007 bestsellers with combined sales of more than
one million. Other well-known cooks among the 100,000+ crowd
included Martha Stewart, Giada De Laurentiis, Jamie Oliver and
Alice Waters. And after all that good eating, we turn to diet and
fitness—there was hardly a week in the course of 2007 that the
hardcover top 15 did not include at least one title on these
topics, more often two. Four of the top 15 titles advocated healthy
eating.
烹飪以及窈窕健身類的書籍持續是暢銷書常勝軍,Paula
Deen在2007年有三本暢銷書出版,總和的銷售量超過百萬。其他銷量超過十萬本的知名廚師包括Martha Stewart、Giada
De Laurentiis、Jamie Oliver以及Alice
Waters。而在享用了所有的美味料理之後,我們轉而節食與健身──在2007年,精裝書的前15名裡面,幾乎沒有一個星期看不到這個類別的書籍,大半都有兩本之多。前15名之中,有4本提倡健康飲食。
[wislawa 譯]
Of course, famous names and personalities were strong in
nonfiction. Stephen Colbert amused readers with his witty I Am
America and claimed the #5 spot for bestselling nonfiction
last year; Eric Clapton hit the right chord with his memoir—it was
the #14 nonfiction title. Steve Martin's Born Standing
Up took the #22 slot for the year. Tom Brokaw, Ken Burns,
Wayne W. Dyer, James Cramer and many others wrote books that did
well and benefited from media exposure.
非小說類當然是知名人士的天下。Stephen
Colbert的《我是美國》風格詼諧,不僅逗樂讀者,還奪得去年非小說類暢銷榜第五名;Eric
Clapton的回憶錄感動人心,在非小說類排行第十四名;Steve Martin的《堅毅人生》(?)亦於年內排行第二十二名。Tom
Brokaw、Ken Burns、Wayne W. Dyer、James
Cramer及其他許多作者的著作也銷情良好,並受惠於媒體的曝光。[懶貓 譯]

Note: Rankings are determined by sales figures
provided by publishers; the numbers generally reflect reports of
copies “shipped and billed” in calendar year 2007. Publishers were
instructed to adjust sales figures to include returns through
January 31, 2007. Publishers did not at that time know what total
returns would be—indeed, the majority of returns occur after that
