Story故事
The name written under the text写在文本下面的名字
Latin subscribere is sub-, under, plus scribere, to write. To subscribe is to write underneath a document: to sign it, to add a name below the words. From the signature comes assent. From assent comes the promise to pay, or to receive, over a stretch of time. A subscription is a name that keeps being honored.
Describe writes the thing down. Subscribe writes the person under it. The difference is the whole social history of the signature: responsibility placed beneath a text.
Broadcast sends a message outward to a crowd. Subscribe is one person writing themselves into a list. The two words meet in the modern media room from opposite directions.
拉丁语 subscribere 是 sub-(在下)加 scribere(写)。subscribe 是写在一份文件下面:签名,在字句之下加上一个名字。从签名生出同意。从同意生出在一段时间里付钱或接收的承诺。一份订阅是一个持续被履行的名字。
describe 把事情写下来。subscribe 把人写在它下面。差别是签名的整部社会史:责任被放在文本之下。
broadcast 把讯息向外送给一群人。subscribe 是一个人把自己写进一份名单。两个词从相反的方向在现代的媒介房间里相遇。
