这本小说有很丰富的象征意义，其中非常主要的是“保护金色”。它强烈传递出少年应保持年轻和天真的信念，告诉我们不要制造情感和友谊的阻碍。这是你不会想跳过去的一本书。

When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.
当我从电影院的黑暗走到明亮的阳光下，我脑子里只有两件事：保罗·纽曼和搭车回家。
生活在贫民区的小子是一个十四岁男孩，外表强悍、内心敏感的他对人生充满迷惑。父母双亡后，他将爱投注于两个哥哥和一伙死党，这群"油头小子"好勇斗狠，却真诚而热心。在小子和朋友强尼经历过一次生死缠斗之后，一连串事件如恶梦般纠缠着小子和他身边的所有人......然而，即使是"油头小子"，也有机会成为人人称颂的英雄。而小子终明白了那句回荡在耳边的话——"永远保持金色"的真正含义。
50 years of an iconic classic! This international bestseller and inspiration for a beloved movie is a heroic story of friendship and belonging.
No one ever said life was easy. But Ponyboy is pretty sure that he's got things figured out. He knows that he can count on his brothers, Darry and Sodapop. And he knows that he can count on his friends—true friends who would do anything for him, like Johnny and Two-Bit. But not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up on “greasers” like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect—until the night someone takes things too far.
The Outsiders is a dramatic and enduring work of fiction that laid the groundwork for the YA genre. S. E. Hinton's classic story of a boy who finds himself on the outskirts of regular society remains as powerful today as it was the day it was first published.
苏珊·埃洛伊丝·欣顿（S. E. Hinton）
1948年出生于美国俄克拉何马州土沙市，她一向喜爱阅读，但不满意当时为青少年所写的书，这促使她在高中时代便创作出《追逐金色的少年》（The Outsiders），并因这本颇受欢迎的小说而家喻户晓。欣顿至今仍是十分具知名度的青少年文学作家，并且是美国众人所知的以俄克拉何马州为背景撰写青少年小说的作家。她曾获得美国图书馆协会与《学校图书馆期刊》联合颁发的“作家成就奖”，是初位获此殊荣的作家。
