[汉语译文]
你选择的虚拟形象能透露出你的很多
信息.这篇文章将帮助你更好地理解关于
虚拟形象的选择.
当你上网时,你可以是任何人或任何
事物.你可以创设自己的形象(image),
并且拥有新的个性.这些数字身份,被称
作“虚拟形象”,这是人们利用互联网进行
交流和表达自己的关键部分.
简单的二维(2D)虚拟形象最早出现
在20世纪80年代的角色扮演电脑游戏
中.然而,很少有人知道虚拟形象后来会有
如此广泛的形式和用途多样化(variety).
到20世纪90年代末,虚拟形象被用于即
时通讯等网络聊天.
当人们开始创设自己的虚拟形象时,
他们发现自己将有能力创设一种新的身份
(identity),这种身份在相貌和行为上可以
与真正的自我完全不同.他们可以给自己
的虚拟形象穿上华丽的(fancy)衣服,或者
尝试换个性别(sex),可以给自己取名为
“安迪”,而不是“安娜”! 当互联网用户意
识到除了他们的朋友之外的人也会看到他
们的虚拟形象时,他们开始使用不止一个
虚拟形象:一个朴素实用的(sensible)虚拟
形象用于工作;一个友好的、好看的虚拟形
象用于交友;一个傻乎乎的虚拟形象用于
取乐.虚拟形象让你可以表达自己,还给
你很多创造性的(creativity)空间.

当然,你所选择的虚拟形象会在很大
程度 上 显 露 你 的 个 性.如 果 你 的 博客
(blog)头像是一只可爱的猫,你传递的信
息是“我喜欢放松和享受”.知名的卡通角
色或微笑的猴子传递的信息是“我是个很
有趣的人”.大多数人创设的虚拟形象与
他们的个性有着相似的特征,看起来或多
或少像他们,在行为上也像他们.然而,几
乎所有的虚拟形象都个子高挑、样貌年轻、
面容姣好,所以人们显然(obviously)想让
他们的虚拟形象看起来比现实生活中更
好.人们还进行其他事情的尝试(experiG
ment),例如换上不同的发型(hairstyle),
这可能从很大程度上透露了他们希望自己
看起来是什么样子.
现在(nowadays),虚 拟 形 象 无 处 不
在.在大多数网络聊天中,人们都是从现
成的图片中选择(selection)一个作为虚拟
形象,或者创建他们自己的图片.当你输
入信息打字(type)时,你也可以让虚拟形
象活动和说话.网络世界中的虚拟形象可
以交谈、走路、飞行,还可以结识他人、购物
和上课.
虚拟形象的使用也引起了一些担忧
(concern).一 些 用 户 担 心 他 们 在 虚拟
(virtual)世界中花费了太多时间,以至于
开始害怕在现实世界中与人见面.使用多
个虚拟形象也可能会带来风险,因为有人
可能 会 在 网 上 使 用 虚 拟 形 象 来 欺 骗
(cheat)他人.然而,其他用户则以更为积
极的态度来看待(view)虚拟形象.他们期
待着有朝一日,自己的虚拟形象会像真人
一样去环游更广阔、更精彩的虚拟世界.
