文字稿

Once upon a time, there was an old bookshop. But this isn't a fairy tale, it really exists, where quaint meets quirky.

從前，有一家老書(shū)店……這不是一個(gè)童話故事的開(kāi)始，確實(shí)有這樣一家書(shū)店，一個(gè)古雅與古怪相遇的地方。

But last Tuesday there were no customers. Not one, which led the shop to put out this forlorn tweet. It read: "Tumbleweed… Not a single book sold today. Zero pounds. We think this may be the first time ever."

但是上周二這里沒(méi)有一位顧客光臨。所以書(shū)店發(fā)布了一條悲傷的推文：“風(fēng)滾草……今天一本書(shū)也沒(méi)賣出去。沒(méi)有進(jìn)賬一分錢。我們覺(jué)得這個(gè)情況可能還是第一次遇到。”

The message was spotted by best-selling author Neil Gaiman, who retweeted it to his 2.7 million followers. The orders then came flooding in.

暢銷書(shū)作家尼爾·蓋曼發(fā)現(xiàn)了這條消息，并轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)給了他的270萬(wàn)粉絲。隨后，訂單如潮水般涌來(lái)。

Someone from Inverness rung up and said, ‘I want to spend ￡10 - don't care what the book is, just send it to me. And I'm going to get my friends to do it.’ Someone from California wants to donate $50 and it's just the love for books.

約翰·維斯特伍德    The Petersfield Bookshop 書(shū)店經(jīng)理
“一位來(lái)自因弗內(nèi)斯的顧客打來(lái)電話說(shuō)：‘我想花10英鎊，買什么書(shū)無(wú)所謂，只要把它寄給我就行了。我還準(zhǔn)備讓我的朋友們也來(lái)買’。一個(gè)來(lái)自加州的人想捐50美元，這就是對(duì)書(shū)的熱愛(ài)?！?

In a shop where weird meets words, new customers have been arriving all day.

風(fēng)格怪異的店內(nèi)裝飾搭配書(shū)中的文字，這令新顧客絡(luò)繹不絕。

A second-hand bookshop, an antiquarian bookshop like this is… it's a treasure trove of amazing things.

“一家二手書(shū)店，一家像這樣的古籍書(shū)店，它是一個(gè)神奇事物的寶庫(kù)?！?

With e-books and Amazon around, independent sellers won't always be busy, but this one, like all the best books, really has captured the imagination.

隨著電子書(shū)和亞馬遜的出現(xiàn)，獨(dú)立店鋪的生意不盡人意，不會(huì)總是很忙，但這家書(shū)店，像所有最好的書(shū)一樣，確實(shí)捕捉住了人們的想象力。
