What are smilies? 什么是表情符?

Smilies are small graphical icons which you can insert into your messages to convey an emotion or feeling, such as a joke or embarrassment. For example, if you entered a sarcastic comment, rather
than type 'that was a joke', you could simply insert the 'wink' smilie.
If you have used email or internet chat systems, you will probably be familiar with the concept of smilies already. Certain combinations of text characters are converted into smilies. For example,:) is converted into a smiling face. To understand smilie codes, tilt your head to the left and look at the text: you will see that :) represents two eyes and a smiling mouth.
For a list of the smilies currently used by this forum, click here.
On occasions, you may want to prevent the text in your message being converted into smilies. You will see a checkbox which you can select when you make a new post, which will allow you to 'Disable Smilies'.

表情符是小型绘画似的图标,您可以嵌入到您的帖子里,传达您的情绪或感觉,例如一个玩笑或尴尬．

How do I create and vote in polls? 如何在会员调查中发起投票？


You may notice that some threads on this forum also include a section where you can vote on an issue or question. These threads are called 'polls' and this is how to create them:
Creating a new poll
When you post a new thread, you may have the option to also create a poll.
This function allows you to ask a question and specify a number of possible responses. Other members will then be able to vote for the response they wish, and the results of the voting will be displayed in the thread.
An example poll might be:
What is your favorite color?

1.Red
2.Blue
3.Yellow
4.Green
5.Sky-blue pink with yellow spots

To create a poll when you post a new thread, simply click the 'Yes! post a poll' checkbox at the bottom of the page, and set the number of possible responses you want to include.
When you click the submit button, you will be taken to the poll creation page, where you can specify the question and the list of responses you want to include.
You may also want to specify a time limit for the poll, so that (for example) it only stays open for voting for a week.
Voting in and viewing a poll
To vote in a poll, simply select which option you want to vote for, and click the [Vote!] button.

You may view the current results for a poll before you vote by clicking the 'View Results' link.

Voting in a poll is entirely optional. You may vote for any of the available options, or cast no vote at all.
Generally, once you have voted in a poll, you will not be able to change your vote later, so place your vote carefully!

您也许注意到了在本论坛中的一些主题同时包含一个选择区，您可以在那里为了一个问题或疑问进行投票．
这些主题被叫做＇会员调查＇以下是如何发起它们的方法：

发起一个新调查

当您发表一个新主题时，您会有一选项用来发起一个调查．
这一功能允许您询问一个问题并且指定许多可能存在的答案．

其他会员于是会对他们认为的答案进行投票，且投票的结查会在主题中显示出来．
一个调查的例子可能会是这样的：

您喜欢什么颜色？
1.红色
2.蓝色
3.黄色
4.绿色
5.带黄色斑点的石青色．

当发新主题时，您想发起一个会员调查，只需在页面的按钮上点击＇确定！发起一个会员调查＇检验框，并且要设定一些您认为包含其中的可能存在的答案．

当您点击提交按钮时，您会获得调查投票创建页面，在页面中您可以指定要调查的问题和您认为包含其中的可能存在的答案．

您也可以为调查指定一个期限，因为(例如)调查只保留一周．

投票及查看调查
想在调查中投票，只需选择您想投给的那一项，并且点击[Vote!]按钮．

在一个调查中投票完全随您的意思进行．

What are message icons? 什么是信息图标？

The administrator may have enabled message icons for new threads, posts and private messages.

Message icons allow you to specify a small icon to accompany your posting, which is used to convey the emotion or content of a post at a glance. If you do not see a list of message icons when you are
composing your message or post, the administrator has disabled the option.

管理员可能已经启动了为主题，回复和个人短信用的信息图标．

信息图标允许您指定一个小型图标来附加在您的帖子上，浏览时，它被用来传达情感或帖子的内容．

当您组建您的信息或帖子时， 如果您没有看到信息图标列表，说明管理员已经关闭了这一选项．

What Are Moderators? 什么是版主?

Moderators oversee specific forums. They generally have the ability to edit and delete posts, move threads, and perform other manipulations. Becoming a moderator for a specific forum is usually rewarded to users who are particularly helpful and knowledgeable in the subject of the forum they are moderating.

版主管理特定的论坛．

版主们通常有权力编辑和删除帖子，移动主题，和执行其他操作．

成为一个特定论坛中的版主通常是对会员的奖励，版主对论坛尤其有用并且知识渊博,他们是论坛中主题的主持者.

我想以上这些已经足够足够了.

剩下的就看你的了．

去CGTalk秀一下你的大作吧！



下周再为朋友们准备一些，在英文论坛发言常用的单词和句子．

例如，如何描述你的作品，如何评价别人的作品．


感谢观赏！白白！

别人的是星星，我的怎么是对号呀？？？
图片如下：

今天先来道歉,让各位久等,真不好意思.我作事绝不会这样的虎头蛇尾,说了不算的.


之所以没有更新,是因为我想详细地来写"如何用英文来描述你的作品和如何用英文对别人作品进行评价?"这样的拍砖帖子.

让一个不懂英文的人能用得上,让老外读着非常地道,不是一件简单的事.

这样一来就不是一两句话能说清楚的.所以近三周以来都在准备,每天都去英文网站收集别人的发言,进行分析,以期有最好的结果献给大家.所以进展很慢.
准备下周发第一部分.

到时还请提意见.
