那些你不知道的007冷知識

1. Ian Fleming named James Bond after an ornithologist because it was the "dullest name" he'd ever heard.

伊恩?弗萊明用一個鳥類學家的名字來給詹姆斯·邦德取名，因為這是他聽過的最呆滯的名字。

Fleming spoke to The New Yorker and explained:

弗萊明對《紐約客》解釋道：

When I wrote the first one, in 1953. I wanted Bond to be an extremely dull, uninteresting man to whom things happened ... One of the bibles of my youth was Birds of the West Indies, by James Bond, a well-known ornithologist, and when I was casting about for a name for my protagonist I thought, My God, that’s the dullest name I’ve ever heard, so I appropriated it. Now the dullest name in the world has become an exciting one. Mrs. Bond once wrote me a letter thanking me for using it.

當我在1953年創作第一部小說時，我希望邦德是個非常無趣，對事物的反應也很遲鈍的男人……我年輕時的圣經是詹姆斯·邦德寫的《西印度群島的鳥》，他是一名十分出名的鳥類學家，當我糾結于給我的主角取什么名字好的時候，我想到，天哪，這真是我聽過的最呆滯的名字了。如今，這個乏味的名字在國際上已經變成了一個激動人心的名字。邦德夫人曾寫過一次信給我，感謝我使用這個名字。
