Forums and society (中英对照)

glen1111

Members in forums are always divided into different classes in a pyramidal relationship according to their period after registration and their contribution to the society (forum) . On the top, there is the sponsor, who is the very guy starting the forum, renting the mainframe, designing the appearance, and organizing everything else, and is the natural leader of this virtual world. Under the sponsor, there are some moderators, who are powerful in his own region but not always (I mean outside of his controlling region). The others are commoners in different degrees according to their time and contribution.

论坛中的民众，根据其注册时间长短以及对社会（论坛）所作出的贡献被成许多不同的呈金字塔状关系分布的关系阶层。在这个金字塔的顶端，是论坛发起人，其人负责开创论坛，又要租赁机器，又要设计外观，还有一大堆杂七杂八的事情要忙，因此是论坛这个虚拟世界里当然的主人。论坛发起人之下，是几位版主，版主在各自的版块内权力很大，但他们的权力并不是总是那么大（我的意思是说出了他/她的管辖范围，他/她就会失去身上的光环）。最后剩下的当然就是根据时间与贡献分成层级的广大民众了。

This looks like the hierarchical relationship in the true world, where the King in top, because he has created or inherited the kindom. Under him, there are officials of different degrees. Officials are puissant in their own reach, but not always, since they are small before the King or senior officials. Thousands of thousands of folks living in streets or countries laboring. Some are resigned to their present situation, others just study hard the rules the rulers prescribed in order to get into the world of officials.

这看起来与真实世界里的层级制度很相象。在一个真正的国度里，皇帝居顶，因为他是国家的缔造者或继承人。在他之下，是分成不同级别的许多官员。官员们在各自的辖区内趾高气扬，但他不可能什么时候都趾高气扬，起码在皇帝与高一级官员的面前，他就得唯唯诺诺。成千上万的平民则在街区与田野间劳作。有些人满于现状，而又有一些人就盘算着如何才能步入统治者阶层。

Officials are actually higher leverl commoners. There is only one owner in the world, that is the King. So is in ....
官员说白其实只不过是高层次的平民而已。世界真正的主人只有一个，那就是皇帝。那么论坛里......
