英語四級：湯姆漢克斯終于要出書了

美國當(dāng)?shù)貢r間11月3日，Knopf出版公司宣布，湯姆?漢克斯將出版一本基于他多年的收藏愛好――老式打字機――而創(chuàng)作的系列短篇故事集。不過，Knopf的負(fù)責(zé)人只是簡單地宣布了這一出版計劃，具體的細(xì)節(jié)沒有公布，書名和出版日期都遙遙無期。

這本短篇故事集被描述成：由漢克斯私人收藏的老式打字機的相關(guān)圖片連接起來的一系列故事。

Actor Tom Hanks is to publish a book of short stories inspired by his personal collection of vintage typewriters.

"I've been collecting typewriters for no particular reason since 1978 - both manual and portable machines," he said.

The stories, the two-time Oscar-winner went on, "are not about the typewriters themselves, but... something that might have been written on one of them."

The Forrest Gump star recently had his first work of fiction, a sci-fi story, published in the New Yorker magazine.

The book, which will include photographs of Hanks' machines, is currently untitled and has no confirmed publication date.

The actor recently lent his name to a mobile app, Hanx Writer, that allows its users to simulate the experience of using a manual typewriter.

"I've been around great storytellers all my life," he told the New Yorker last month. "Like an enthusiastic student, I want to tell some of my own."

The 58-year-old recently reteamed with Saving Private Ryan director Steven Spielberg to shoot a Cold War spy thriller, set for release next year.
