迷因

网络迷因一个重要的特点是所有的传播过程都是自发的，没有任何强迫或自动发送属性。

A meme might be a joke or quotation of a meme is that it is voluntary , a communication which spreads from one place to the next without any kind of compulsion or automation .

你发现凌晨4点成了什么？仿佛迷因或者缩略符号？

Did you ever notice that four in the morning has become some sort of meme or shorthand ?

在传播过程中，迷因的内容可能保持原样，也有可能会被后来的接收者加以改造或延伸。它们在网络上消逝的速度可能跟爆红的速度一样快，几天之内就有可能不见踪迹了。

Memes might stay the same as they transfer from one source to another , but can sometimes ' evolve ' , modified or expanded by each new recipient in popularity and then disappearing within a matter of days .

迷因控制了基因。

The memes take hold of the leash .

一群足球迷因闹事被逐出了酒吧。

A number of football fans had been eiected from the bar for causing trouble .

这些早期的迷因散布开来之后，学习（复制）迷因的能力逐渐成为攸关生存的条件。

As these early memes spread , the ability to acquire them became increasingly important for survival .

新出现的迷因只消一个世代就能透过模仿传遍整个族群，比基因演化所需要的时间快多了。

Newly arisen memes can spread through a population by imitation in a single generation , faster than genetic evolution can respond .

“迷因”这个词最早是由英国进化生物学家理查德-道金斯在他1976年的大众科学畅销书《自私的基因》中使用的。

The term Meme was coined by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his 1976 popular science bestseller , The Selfish Gene .

科学与宗教都是庞大的迷因复合体，但是科学与宗教不同，它有抛弃空洞、合理或错误点子的方法。

Unlike religions , the great meme-complex of science includes methods for throwing out ideas that are vacuous , nonsensical or plain wrong .

网络迷因通常以超链接的形式通过电邮、博客、社交网站还有即时信息等途径传播。

A meme often takes the form of a hyperlink , propagated via e-mail , blogs , social networking , instant messaging , etc.

“网络迷因”（又称“网络爆红”）指某个理念或信息迅速在互联网用户间传播的现象。

An Internet meme , is some kind of idea or piece of information that spreads very rapidly across a large number of Internet users .

因此，迷因是真正的复制子，拥有酿成新的达尔文演化过程的三个性质：复制、异、择。

Memes are thus true replicators , possessing all three properties - replication , variation , selection - needed to spawn a new Darwinian evolutionary process .

在传播过程中，迷因的内容可能保持原样，也有可能会被后来的接收者加以改造或延伸。

Memes might stay the same as they transfer from one source to another , but can sometimes ' evolve ' , modified or expanded by each new recipient .

但是他想强调，任何复制子都能导致演化，因此他发明了迷因的点子，以它当例子。

But he wanted to emphasize that evolution can be based on any replicator , and so , as an example , he invented the idea of the meme .

以迷因的心眼看世界，每个人都是制造更多迷因的机器&繁殖的工具、制的机会、须竞争的资源。

From the meme 's - eye view , every human is a machine for making more memes - a vehicle for propagation , an opportunity for replication and a resource to compete for .

网络迷因的内容可以是个笑话、一句引语、传言或某个事实、图像、一段视频、甚至可以是某个网站，基本上只要是能够通过电子通讯技术从一个人传给另一个人的内容都可以成为迷因。

A meme might be a joke or quotation , a rumor or simple fact , an image , piece of video , or even a particular website - virtually any titbit that can be passed from one person to another via electronic communication .

不过随着这部剧的人气逐渐增高，一些剧迷担心该剧因涉及太多死尸器官以及人皮等片段会在不久下架。

As the show gains in popularity , some fans have expressed concern that the show may be removed from the streaming service since it often shows the body parts of the deceased and other graphic images such as a dead body from which the skin has been peeled .
