2、Paris bookshop Shakespeare

Legendary Paris bookshop Shakespeare and Company begs for help in pandemic

巴黎傳奇的莎士比亞書(shū)店于**中艱難求生

One of the world's most iconic bookshops, Shakespeare and Company, has appealed to its customers for help as it is struggling with sales.

世界上最具標志性的書(shū)店之一——莎士比亞書(shū)店在銷(xiāo)售艱難的求生之際，向顧客尋求幫助。

The celebrated Parisian bookstore told readers that it was facing "hard times" as the Covid-19 pandemic keeps customers away. France is expected to impose a new four-week national lockdown as coronavirus cases continue to surge; large swathes of the country, including Paris, are already under a night-time curfew.

這家著(zhù)名的巴黎書(shū)店告訴讀者，因為新冠**使顧客無(wú)法到店內消費，書(shū)店正面臨著(zhù)“艱難時(shí)期”。由于新冠肺炎病例持續激增，法國預計將實(shí)施為期四周的新一輪全國封鎖，包括巴黎在內的大部分地區已經(jīng)實(shí)行了夜間宵禁。

First opened by Sylvia Beach in 1919, the Parisian institution was frequented by writers including F Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, TS Eliot and James Joyce in the early 20th century. George Whitman opened today's version of the shop in 1951. He envisaged the shop as a "socialist utopia masquerading as a bookstore": writers are invited to sleep for free among the shelves in exchange for a few hours helping out, and more than 30,000 of the guests, named "tumbleweeds" by Whitman, have stayed since the store opened.***

1919 年，西爾維亞·比奇首次開(kāi)設莎士比亞書(shū)店。20 世紀早期，F·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德、歐內斯特·海明威、T·S·艾略特和詹姆斯·喬伊斯等作家經(jīng)常光顧這家巴黎書(shū)店。1951 年，喬治·惠特曼開(kāi)了我們眼前的這家書(shū)店。他把這家店設想成一個(gè)“戴著(zhù)書(shū)店面具的社會(huì )主義烏托邦”——歡迎作家們免費在店內的書(shū)堆之間過(guò)夜，作為交換，他們只須在店里幫忙幾小時(shí)。自書(shū)店開(kāi)業(yè)以來(lái)，已經(jīng)有 3 萬(wàn)多名客人在店中住過(guò)，他們被惠特曼稱(chēng)為“風(fēng)滾草”。

Since appealing to customers, Whitman said the shop had been deluged with offers of support — and more importantly orders.

惠特曼說(shuō)，自從向顧客發(fā)出呼吁以來(lái)，書(shū)店已經(jīng)收到了大量支持——更重要的是，還新增了許多訂單。

The appeal follows a similar move from iconic New York bookshop the Strand, which said that the impact of Covid-19 meant that "we cannot survive the huge decline in foot traffic, a near-complete loss of tourism and zero in-store events."*** Nancy Bass-Wyden, proprietor of the 93-year-old American store, said revenue was down nearly 70%, and that "we are now at a turning point where our business is unsustainable".

此前，紐約著(zhù)名的斯特蘭德書(shū)店也采取了類(lèi)似舉措。該書(shū)店表示，受新冠肺炎影響，“我們無(wú)法在客流量大幅下降、旅游業(yè)幾乎完全虧損和店內活動(dòng)數量為零的情況下生存下來(lái)?！边@家擁有 93 年歷史的美國老店的所有人南?！ぐ退?懷登表示，書(shū)店收入下降了近 70%，“我們正處于一個(gè)轉折點(diǎn)，生意難以為繼”。
