One of the main objectives of the project of "Recovering the Classics" is to make covers available for digital versions of books like Pride and Prejudice and Little Women, which have entered the public domain and are available for free on e-readers, but are often packaged in unappealing ways.
“重現(xiàn)經(jīng)典”這一項(xiàng)目的主要目的之一在于給諸如《傲慢與偏見》、《小婦人》等書籍的電子版也配上封面。這些書籍已步入公眾領(lǐng)域、免費(fèi)提供給網(wǎng)絡(luò)讀者,但往往這些書的包裝卻乏善可陳。
Another aim is to make classics appealing to younger readers, who might be put-off by coverless or dusty-covered tomes, but might reconsider an older book with a splash of color on its cover. Fresh covers bring new life to the books, and make them more inviting to today’s students who browse online all the time.
另一目的是讓經(jīng)典讀物可以吸引年輕讀者。年輕人或許會對沒有封皮或者封面蒙灰的大部頭書籍興味索然,但或許會因?yàn)榉馄ど系囊荒ㄉ识紤]重讀舊書。新封面可以給書籍帶來生機(jī),愈加吸引當(dāng)今那些時時流連網(wǎng)站的學(xué)生們。
