讀《FT·金融時報》學英語：《殺死一只知更鳥》作者，美國作家哈珀·李去世，享年89歲

To Kill a Mockingbird has been in print for more than five decades and few works have been subject to as much critical analysis and interpretation.
《殺死一只知更鳥》已經付梓五十余年，很少有作品能像它一樣被如此頻繁地被批評分析與詮釋。

It has become a set book in school literature studies and regularly appears on lists of books that are essential reading.
它已經成為了學校文學課的指定教材，并定期出現(xiàn)在必讀書單中。

Yet its author refused all requests for interviews and public appearances and there was surprise when, in 2015, it was announced she had previously written a sequel.
然而書的作者卻拒絕了一切采訪和公開露面的要求。2015年有報道稱她曾經寫過一本續(xù)集，人們對此十分震驚。
