A New Chapter
新篇章
The day I heard that the Rainbow Bookstore was closing after 50 years of business, I was heartbroken.The bookstore,which was a legendary fixture in the neighborhood,was a place where anyone could drop in and connect through their love of books.
听闻彩虹书店在经营50年后即将关闭的那天，我心如刀绞。这家书店作为社区里传奇地标，曾是任何人都能驻足停留、通过共同对书籍的热爱建立联结的地方。
When I hurried to the store,I saw that the books were already being packed into boxes.I had a long chat with Casey,the store's elderly owner. Sighing deeply, he told me how it was becoming difficult to run an independent bookstore.Most young people preferred reading e-books on tablets.More and more customers were being attracted by chain stores and online discounts.I tried to think of some words of sympathy,but I had to admit that the Rainbow Bookstore couldn't stay in business much longer.
当我匆忙赶到书店时，看到书籍已经被打包进纸箱。我与年迈的店主凯西进行了长谈。他深深叹息着告诉我，经营一家独立书店正变得多么困难——大多数年轻人更喜欢在平板上阅读电子书，越来越多的顾客被连锁书店和网购折扣吸引。我试图说些安慰的话，但不得不承认彩虹书店确实难以为继了。
Childhood memories came back to me so clearly,as if the events had happened onlyyesterday.A bunch of us kids would frequently drop by the store after school. Wed look at the new books,or just chat with Old Casey.He knew every book in the store and would always pick the perfect one for us from a dusty shelf.We spent hours reading,seated on the store's old but comfortable furniture.Casey encouraged us to share our ideas and comments on the books,by writing them on a large board in one corner of the store.
童年的记忆如此清晰地涌上心头，仿佛那些事就发生在昨天。放学后，我们一群孩子总会经常光顾那家书店。我们翻看新到的图书，或是单纯和老凯西闲聊。他熟悉店里的每一本书，总能从落满灰尘的书架上为我们挑出最合适的那本。我们坐在书店陈旧却舒适的家具上，一读就是好几个小时。凯西鼓励我们在店里角落的大木板上写下自己对书籍的想法和评论。
When I left the bookstore,it was becoming cold and dark outside.I turned to wave goodbye to Casey,but both he and his bookstore were already hidden in a thick mist.It made me realize that the bookstore and all that Old Casey had given to the community could soon disappear for good.
当我离开书店时，外面正变得寒冷而昏暗。我转身向凯西挥手告别，但他和他的书店都已被浓雾吞没。这让我意识到，这家书店以及老凯西给予社区的一切，可能很快就会永远消失。
A few months later,I was back in the neighborhood during my spring break and was surprised to see that the Rainbow Bookstore was still there and open for business. Its old brick exterior hadn't changed,but inside it was like a different world.In one area,a book reading was being delivered.Nearby,customers were poring over shelves selling stationery,posters and other best-seller-themed gifts.The large board in the corner had been replaced by a big screen,where customers'comments on the months best-seller were being displayed.Clearly,the Rainbow Bookstore was in good,creative hands.
几个月后，春假期间我重返旧地，惊讶地发现彩虹书店依然矗立、照常营业。其红砖外墙依旧如昔，内部却已焕然一新。一处区域正举办读书会，近旁顾客们埋头浏览着售卖文具、海报及其他畅销书主题礼品的货架。角落里的木质大黑板已被巨幕取代，滚动展示着顾客对当月畅销书的点评。显然，彩虹书店已交到了富有创意的新主手中。
I was told that the community had decided to work together on a campaign to save the Rainbow Bookstore.The campaign had been led by Jennifer Oakley,a saleswoman who had grown up in the neighborhood and who had now taken over the bookstore from Casey.
我听说社区决定共同开展一项拯救彩虹书店的活动。这项活动由詹妮弗·奥克利领导，她是一位在该社区长大的销售员，现已从凯西手中接管了这家书店。
Under Jennifer's leadership,the bookstore was being turned into a place for literature-loving members of the community to get together.It had a café selling organic food,and there were now more community events such as book readings, poetry recitals and even jazz concerts and movie nights,where people could gather to share an experience that couldn't be downloaded.
在詹妮弗的领导下，这家书店正转型成为社区文学爱好者们的聚集地。店内增设了供应有机食品的咖啡区，并举办了更多社区活动——从读书会、诗歌朗诵会到爵士音乐会乃至电影之夜，让人们得以相聚共享那些无法被下载的独特体验。
I joined Casey,who was looking up at the screen on which readers' comments kept popping up.“Well,as you can see,corporate knowledge combined with creativity has brought my humble bookstore into the 21st century!I'm so pleased to see that everything I wanted it to offer to the community is still here.”
我走到凯西身旁，她正抬头注视着不断弹出读者评论的屏幕。"正如你所见，企业智慧与创造力的结合，让我这家不起眼的书店成功迈入了21世纪！看到它为社区提供的一切服务依然存在，我深感欣慰。"

Emojis:a new language
表情符号：一种新语言？
While waiting outside the cafeteria, I received the following message from my friend:
在食堂外等候时，我收到了朋友发来的如下信息：
It took me a minute before I realised what it meant. The signs he used were to say that he’d be running late and would be there soon.Instead of replying with a simple “OK,don't rush”, I searched for emojis on my phone that would express the same message:
我花了一会儿才明白他的意思。他用的那些符号是想说他可能会迟到一会儿，但很快就会到。我没有简单地回复"好的，别急"，而是在手机上找能表达同样意思的表情符号。
This was my attempt to follow the trend of communicating with emojis.Emojis are used everywhere,from text messages to emails,blogs and other social media networks.With the rapid development of social media,emojis are becoming an integral component of the language we use to express ourselves.
这是我尝试顺应用表情符号交流的潮流。表情符号无处不在，从短信到电子邮件、博客及其他社交媒体网络。随着社交媒体的快速发展，表情符号正逐渐成为我们用于自我表达的语言中不可或缺的组成部分。
The word "emoji"comes from Japanese, literally meaning“picture character". Emojis are small symbols representing ideas,emotions or feelings.They come in different categories,such as faces and people,plants and animals,and food and drink.
“表情符号”一词源自日语，字面意思是“图画字符”。表情符号是代表想法、情绪或感受的小图标，分为不同类别，如面孔与人物、植物与动物、以及食物与饮品等。
When first introduced in Japan in 1999,emojis were limited to 176 simple designs.Now there are more than 3,000 emojis that expand upon the way in which we communicate. Due to their popularity,the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year in 2015 was,for the first time ever,a pictograph instead of a traditional word.
1999年表情符号首次在日本问世时，仅限176种简单设计。如今已有超过3000种表情符号，不断拓展着我们的沟通方式。因其风靡程度，2015年《牛津词典》年度词汇首次颁给了一个象形符号而非传统单词。
In today's world,emojis have become more and more popular. It seems that emojis have clear advantages over written language.People like them because they add emotional meaning, and are quick and easy to use. In fact,this is similar to the gestures we use when we speak.With a smiling or sad face added to a message or post, your reader can "see"your facial expression while reading your words.Emojis can also help people express their feelings when they cannot find the appropriate words. For instance,if your friend is moving across the country,you may just send them a string of crying faces to express your sadness over your separation.
在当今世界，表情符号正变得越来越流行。与书面文字相比，表情符号似乎具有明显优势。人们喜爱表情符号，因为它们能增添情感含义，并且使用起来快捷方便。实际上，这与我们说话时使用的手势很相似。当在消息或帖子中添加笑脸或哭脸时，你的读者能在阅读文字时"看到"你的面部表情。当人们找不到合适词汇时，表情符号还能帮助他们表达情感。例如，如果你的朋友要搬到另一个城市，你可能只需要发送一串哭泣的表情来表达你对离别的不舍。
The use of emojis has even spread to classical literature.A Shakespeare series for young readers has taken William Shakespeare's popular plays and replaced some words with textspeak and emojis.The intention of these adaptations is to make the classics more accessible to young readers.Some people,however,believe that these new versions have taken away the heart and soul of Shakespeare's plays.
表情符号的使用甚至蔓延到了古典文学领域。一套面向年轻读者的莎士比亚系列丛书，将威廉·莎士比亚的经典剧作进行改编，用网络用语和表情符号替换了部分词汇。这些改编本的初衷是降低经典作品的阅读门槛，使其更易于年轻读者接受。然而也有人认为，这些新版本丧失了莎剧的精髓与神韵。
As we can see,emojis have a tendency to pop up all over the place.Users of emojis say that they facilitate the way in which we communicate and express ourselves.But this makes others,especially educators,worry that we are losing the ability to communicate properly using the written word,or even the spoken word. After all,how many of us today would rather send a message packed with emojis than make a telephone call Perhaps people will one day choose to communicate in pictures,and forget how to write properly.On that day,emojis will have become a real pictorial "language". But,for now,maybe it's best that we just enjoy using them.
正如我们所看到的，表情符号正呈现出无处不在的流行趋势。使用表情符号的用户认为，它们能促进我们的沟通与自我表达方式。但这让其他人——尤其是教育工作者——担忧我们正在丧失运用书面文字乃至口头语言进行恰当交流的能力。毕竟，如今有多少人宁愿发送满是表情符号的消息，也不愿打个电话？也许有一天人们会选择用图画交流，而忘记如何正确书写。到那时，表情符号将真正成为一种图像"语言"。但就目前而言，或许我们最好还是享受使用它们的乐趣。
