Many have lamented the lost art of reading in our social-media-driven, content-hungry world, but few have actually tried to do anything about it.
在社交媒体发达、追求新鲜内容的当今世界,很多人为阅读艺术的日渐式微而感到惋惜,但很少有人真正尝试为此做出什么。
But whether or not you think people aren't reading long-form material as much as they used to, you can probably still get excited about free reading material. In Grenoble, France, a city known as the capital of the French Alps, a publishing start-up called Short Édition has installed eight free story-dispensing vending machines in some of its most popular public spaces.
不过,不管你是不是认为人们已经不再像以前那样喜欢阅读长篇读物了,你可能还是会为免费读物而感到兴奋的。在法国阿尔卑斯山区的首府城市格勒诺布尔市(Grenoble),一家名为Short Édition的出版业初创公司在该市人流最密集的几处公共场所安置了8台免费短篇小说自动售货机。
The strange, screen-less contraptions are the brainchild of Christophe Sibieude (the co-founder and head of Short Édition) and Grenoble's mayor, Éric Piolle. The pair hope that commuters and bystanders will make use of these stories to expand and enrich their minds while waiting around, rather than tapping their way aimlessly through Facebook or Twitter. Stories are dispensed according to how much time you've got to spend reading (one-, three-, and five-minute options are available), and the stories are printed out on long receipt-like paper.
