时代新语：今天，你“博客”了吗

眼下，写博客似乎成了一股热潮，众多名人的加入，更使博客成为备受关注的热点。“博客”是从blog一词翻译而来的。blog是weblog(网络日志)的简称。blogger指撰写blog的人，很多时候也被翻译成“博客”。

　　一个博客就是一个站点，它通常由某个写手定期更新的张贴文章所构成；此外还有网站编辑定期访问的其他博客站点的链接。“博客”可以看作是个人的“公开日记”、对不同话题的看法和对各类新闻以及社会问题的评论。

　　A blog is defined as a website that has entries posted at regular intervals usually by a single writer and often accompanied by links to other blogs that the site’s editor visits on a regular basis.

　　2002年8月，中国第一个专门的博客门户网站“博客中国”成立。In August 2002, Blogchina, China’s first dedicated blogging website was established.

　　根据市场调查公司统计，中国网民中有数百万博客，还有更多的人正在加入博客行列。与此同时，大量手机用户可能很快加入移动博客行列。
