The Tintin books -- good for what age kids?
《丁丁》系列适合几岁的孩子看呢？
Okay, Steven Spielberg's "Tintin" film is coming out soon. A friend recently mentioned that he had enjoyed reading the books they're based on to his kids, and that he himself had really, really enjoyed them. For those of you familiar with the Tintin books, what age would they be appropriate for kids? Thanks!
是这样的，最近斯皮尔伯格的“丁丁”系列影片第一部就要上映了，我的一个朋友最近也提到他给孩子买的这个系列的书，他自己也很爱看。那么对于那些家中备有《丁丁》系列图书的家庭们，什么年纪的孩子适合读呢？谢谢解答！

1、They're generally recommended for children aged nine and up in terms of reading comprehension (they have dense speech bubbles that often use quite sophisticated language), but they're suitable for all ages in terms of content. Be advised, though, that the first two albums (Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and Tintin in the Congo) have only been put back into print in recent years for collectors who are completists. They're much cruder than the later albums and the second one has racial attitudes that Herge later regretted and apologised for. Those two are really just for adult collectors and not for kids.
《丁丁历险记》系列主要是给9岁以及9岁以上的孩子的，具体要依据孩子的阅读理解力（这个系列的书都有比较多的对话框，语言也是稍显复杂的），但是在书本身的内容方面，却是适合各个年龄段的。还有，据说，书的头两册（《丁丁在苏联》以及《丁丁在刚果》）近几年才影印，主要供收藏者，来完整的收藏用。这两册比后面的作品粗糙许多，并且第二册也有一定的种族意义在里面，在作者创作后期，他也就此表示过歉意（作者年轻时的错误），这两册是不适合孩子看的，只适合成年人看。
2、I started reading them around age 7 and fell madly in love with them (a passion that continues today). Granted I didn't quite understand everything that was going on, but the sense of adventure in all of the albums (as the books are called) helps drives the stories for the younger audiences.
I do agree with Out Of My Vulcan Mind in regards to Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and Tintin in the Congo. I own and enjoy both stories but mostly from a Herge historical point of view.
If you need recommendations, allow me to suggest Tintin in Tibet, King Ottokar's Sceptre, Land of the Black Gold, The Black Island, and The Red Sea Sharks.
我是从7岁左右开始读《丁丁》系列的，并且后来狂热的爱上了这个系列图书，至今还是很喜欢！就算当初我并不是很了解书中的一些情节，不清楚发生了什么，但是在这个系列图书中所展现的冒险的感觉，让年幼的小读者爱不释手！
我并不同意楼上（网名是Out Of My Vulcan Mind）所说的关于“《丁丁在苏联》以及《丁丁在刚果》”的言论，我从作者Herge具有历史性的角度来看这两部作品，我自己非常欣赏这两个故事。
如果你需要一些推荐的话，我会推荐这系列中的《丁丁在西藏》、《奥托卡王的权杖》、《黑金之国》、《黑岛》以及《红海鲨鱼》。
3、Cinebooks recommends Blake & Mortimer and Lucky Luke for ages seven and up. Tintin probably falls between those two in terms of ease of reading for kids (Blake & Mortimer being a little more difficult and Lucky Luke quite a bit easier).
If you're interested in reading the particular albums the movie is based on, they're The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn, and Red Rackham's Treasure (and that's their correct reading order).
Cinebooks把Blake & Mortimer以及Lucky Luke推荐给年龄在7岁以及7岁以上的孩子，我想《丁丁历险记》介于这二者之间，Blake & Mortimer要比《丁丁》难一些，而Lucky Luke则要比《丁丁》简单一些。
如果你对于被改编成电影的几部作品感兴趣，按系列中的顺序排列，那是《金钳螃蟹贩毒集团》、《独角兽的秘密》、《红色克拉姆的宝藏》。
4、I discovered them in my dusty-old elementary school library when I was a third or fourth grader and loved them. (Fourth grade for sure.) But I guess at that point I was already reading adult Star Trek novels, so I'm not sure what to say reading comprehension wise.
我在三四年级的时候（确切的是4年级），在小学破旧的图书馆里发现了《丁丁历险记》，并且爱上了这个系列的书！不过，在那个年龄段，我已经开始阅读一些成人的小说了，比如《星际迷航》，所以我不是很确定怎么定义阅读能力。
5、I read them in primary school, so I must have been 8 or 9. My kids loved them.
我在小学的时候开始阅读《丁丁历险记》系列，那是我大约已经有8岁或者9岁，我的孩子也喜欢读《丁丁》。
6、I think they are written at a 3-4 grade level, if you're meaning the original books by herge. I think my twins found them at early 7 yrs old. It would be a stretch in terms of both reading level and attention span unless you have an advanced reader.
如果你指的是原著，那么我觉得《丁丁》是写给三至四年级水平的孩子的，我的一对双胞胎在7岁开始阅读，这对于阅读水平以及注意力都会有所提高，除非你的孩子已经是阅读高手了。
7、I discovered Tintin when I was 5. They weren't above my reading ability, but I was reading chapter books then. My son, who is 8 now and more typical in reading skills, finds some unfamiliar words in Tintin, but he has never been upset by anything in the stories; I think they are appropriate for young kids.
我在我5岁的时候，就发现了《丁丁》，他们并不在我的阅读理解能力之上，当时我读的是章节书，不是漫画，我的儿子，现在8岁，并且更精于阅读技巧，在阅读丁丁时发现了一些不常见的词汇，但是他并没有因此感到厌烦，我认为这个系列图书很适合小孩子。
