评委们说：“萨曼莎·哈维的这部紧凑而又宏大的小说邀请我们从国际空间站上六名宇航员漂浮的视角来观察地球的壮丽……《轨道》给我们的星球写了一封情书，也深深打动了我们，它承认了每个人的个人和集体价值。通过将整个地球定位在一个单一的叙事框架内，《轨道》模糊了边界、时区和我们自己的故事之间的区别。这是一个我们以前从未在小说中遇到过的有利位置，它充满了敬畏和崇敬，读起来就像一种崇拜。哈维向我们展示了地球无国界、相互关联的图景，她认为领土冲突是徒劳的，合作和尊重我们共同的人性是必要的。这是一个再清醒、再及时、再紧迫不过的主题。”
The judges said: ‘Samantha Harvey’s compact yet beautifully expansive novel invites us to observe Earth’s splendour from the drifting perspective of six astronauts aboard the International Space Station … Orbital offers us a love letter to our planet as well as a deeply moving acknowledgement of the individual and collective value of every human life. By positioning the entire planet within a single narrative frame, Orbital blurs distinctions between borders, time zones and our own individual stories. This is a vantage point we haven’t encountered in fiction before, and it is infused with such awe and reverence that it reads like an act of worship. In offering us a vision of our planet as borderless and interlinked, Harvey makes the case for the futility of territorial conflicts, and the need for co-operation and respect for our shared humanity. This is a theme that couldn’t be more sobering, timely, or urgent.’
“六名宇航员，一边俯察地球之壮丽，一边承受孤独、疲劳和丧亲之痛。结构紧凑，内容丰富，是一封写给我们星球的情书。”
