身邊的“漂書行動” BookCrossing
[ 2009-07-29 09:08 ]
同事和同學(xué)之間經(jīng)常會共享很多東西,可能是美食,可能是八卦新聞,也可能是一張CD、一部電影或者一本好書。有時候一本書太受歡迎,想要借閱的人太多,書的主人還得在幾位借閱者中間協(xié)調(diào)先后。我想這大概算是BookCrossing最初形態(tài)吧。現(xiàn)在,這樣的傳閱行為已經(jīng)擴展到陌生人之間啦,而且還有了自己的網(wǎng)站呢。
BookCrossing is defined as "the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise." The term is derived from bookcrossing.com, a free online book club which began in order to encourage the practice, aiming to "make the whole world a library."
BookCrossing(漂書行動)指“將書本放于公共場所供人傳閱并鼓勵人們以相同方式傳送書籍的行為”。這個說法來源于一個名為bookcrossing.com的免費在線圖書俱樂部,該網(wǎng)站是漂書行動的發(fā)起者,其目標(biāo)是“讓全世界成為一個圖書館”。
The 'crossing' or exchanging of books may take any of a number of forms, including wild releasing books in public, direct swaps with other members of the websites, or "book rings" in which books travel in a set order to participants who want to read a certain book.
傳送或交換書籍的形式有很多種,包括將書籍隨意棄置在公共場所,與該網(wǎng)站的其他會員直接交換,或者通過一個“書籍傳送帶”以特定的順序在某本書的期望讀者中間傳送。
