Haruki Murakami is quite possibly the most successful and influential cult author in the world today. The 62-year-old has sold millions of books in Japan. His fifth novel, "Norwegian Wood", sold more than 3.5 million copies in its first year in 1987 and has been translated into 40 languages, in which it sells almost as well.
村上春树极有可能是当今世界最成功、最有影响力的偶像作家。62岁的他在日本的图书销量达数百万。他的第五部小说《挪威的森林》发行于1987年,第一年就卖了350多万册,已被译为40种语言,译本几乎和原著一样畅销。

"Norwegian Wood" is the Japanese equivalent of "The Catcher in the Rye". This book should be required reading for every troubled adolescent. "Norwegian Wood" is a coming-of-age tale of young man Toru Watanabe's love involvement with a schizophrenic girl, Naoko. Naoko eventually enters a convalescent home for disturbed people.
《挪威的森林》是日本版的《麦田守望者》,是每个问题青少年必读的书。《挪威的森林》是一部成长纪事小说,讲述了青年男子渡边和患有精神分裂症的女孩直子之间的感情纠葛。直子最终住进了一家精神疗养院。

Later Toru encounters Midori, a vibrant and outgoing young girl. He realizes he cannot continue his relationship with Naoko. He doesn't want to hurt Naoko, but doesn't want to lose Midori either. Later Toru is informed that Naoko has killed herself and he wanders sadly and aimlessly around Japan…
后来渡边遇见了充满活力、性格开朗的年轻女孩绿子。他意识到自己与直子的感情已经无法再维系下去了。他不想伤害直子,却又不想失去绿子。不久,渡边被告知直子自杀的噩耗,悲痛的渡边漫无目的地在日本彷徨……

It's no doubt that watching this screen adaptation of "Norwegian Wood" will certainly be a heart-breaking experience.
毫无疑问,观看《挪威的森林》的电影版必定会是一次让人心碎的经历。
