扇贝网正在做这件事情,我们在网站上建立了,希望借助社区的力量,将Quora中的精彩内容翻译成中文,在这个过程当中,不仅帮助大家学习英文,也增长知识。
为了保证质量,我们每次只翻译一篇,所有人都可以提交针对全文或者部分段落的译文,经过充分讨论,由专人整理最终译稿后,再进行下一篇。目前已经完成近60篇,平均每篇都有30-40回帖讨论,参与的人中有国内大学学生,也有国外的大学教授;相比单纯的翻译结果,更重要的是可以看到参与者相互学习和提高的过程。
大家看看这些样篇就知道我们是用什么态度对待这件事情了:
这些文章完成后都会发布在我们的微信公众号shanbay17上。
因为要给参与者充分讨论的时间,以及最后要汇总校订,所以进度不快,每周出两三篇稿,因此我们完全不间断的做了几个月也只有几十篇稿子,不过这个速度我可以接受,宁可慢一些,也要保证翻译的准确,不能辱没Quora那么好的素材;我希望用1年的时间,整理出几百篇左右有意思的回答和译文。
把Quora当作翻译来源有两个最大的好处:
1. 内容非常丰富生动,同时高质量的答案遣词造句以及文章结构也都很讲究,是英语学习的极好素材;
2. 不用担心版权问题,非常友好,对于2010年4月22日后产生的内容,基本可以任意使用,只要标明来源。
欢迎前来参与翻译工作,或者关注我们的微信公众号shanbay17,我们每隔两天会发布一个翻译好的双语版Quora精选文章。

为避免误解, 原文贴在下面。基本上说了两件事:1. Your license to Quora,作为作者,你在Quora上贴的所有内容,都允许Quora免费在任何渠道任何地方使用,修改和发布你的内容,也允许Quora让第三方在各种渠道发布;2. Quora’s License to You, 作为Quora的用户,Quora允许你在全球范围,免费在互联网上(除Quora本身)发布Quora上的任何内容,只要该内容发布于2010年4月22日之后,同时原作者没有明确表明不允许转载等等。
