Legendary Paris bookshop Shakespeare and Company begs for help in pandemic

巴黎傳奇的莎士比亞書店于**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(biāo)志性的書店之一——莎士比亞書店在銷售艱難的求生之際，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.

這家著名的巴黎書店告訴讀者，因為新冠**使顧客無法到店內(nèi)消費，書店正面臨著“艱難時期”。由于新冠肺炎病例持續(xù)激增，法國預(yù)計將實施為期四周的新一輪全國封鎖，包括巴黎在內(nèi)的大部分地區(qū)已經(jīng)實行了夜間宵禁。

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·比奇首次開設(shè)莎士比亞書店。20 世紀(jì)早期，F(xiàn)·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德、歐內(nèi)斯特·海明威、T·S·艾略特和詹姆斯·喬伊斯等作家經(jīng)常光顧這家巴黎書店。1951 年，喬治·惠特曼開了我們眼前的這家書店。他把這家店設(shè)想成一個“戴著書店面具的社會主義烏托邦”——歡迎作家們免費在店內(nèi)的書堆之間過夜，作為交換，他們只須在店里幫忙幾小時。自書店開業(yè)以來，已經(jīng)有 3 萬多名客人在店中住過，他們被惠特曼稱為“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，自從向顧客發(fā)出呼吁以來，書店已經(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，紐約著名的斯特蘭德書店也采取了類似舉措。該書店表示，受新冠肺炎影響，“我們無法在客流量大幅下降、旅游業(yè)幾乎完全虧損和店內(nèi)活動數(shù)量為零的情況下生存下來?！边@家擁有 93 年歷史的美國老店的所有人南希·巴斯-懷登表示，書店收入下降了近 70%，“我們正處于一個轉(zhuǎn)折點，生意難以為繼”。
