“放下所有因果论，我爱你无论结果”
Recommend BGM:
The aliens associate objects and gestures with sounds while communicating with each other. Their language is totally different from human language which uses fixed characters to build a system. The aliens use the free word order to communicate. Their speech term and writing term are completely different. They write with no reference to speech and it is a completely nonlinear sequence.
The physical structure of our body enables us to experience events step by step while the aliens experience everything all at once.
I think it is not only essential to analyze this novel from the aspect of language because this science fiction novel not only allows us to gain insights about language but actually can gain more understanding about love. The linguist in the novel gradually gains omniscience and omnipotence in the process of learning the language of aliens, which means that she is still determined to fall in love even though she knows the final outcome with a person. This is also a great inspiration for us in the way we treat relationships lately. The keyword for modern people is “fast”, and fast food love is also born, everyone’s love seems to run to a result, to contact for chatting, chatting is to become familiar, familiar is to be together. It seems like everything you do is to be able to be together. But this novel shows us, real love, from a perspective that has no time and space constraints and no cause-and-effect relationship.
