A blog is a personal Web page. It may contain stories, comments, pictures and links to other Web sites. Some people add information to their blogs every day. People who have blogs are called bloggers.
Blogs are not the same as spam. Spam is unwanted sales messages sent to your electronic mailbox. The name is based on a funny joke many years ago on a British television show, "Monty Python's Flying Circus." Some friends are at an eating place that only serves a processed meat product from the United States called SPAM. Every time the friends try to speak, another group of people starts singing the word SPAM very loudly. This interferes with the friends' discussion, just as unwanted sales messages interfere with communication over the Internet.如果你用谷歌搜索一个人,你可能会在博客上发现这个人的名字。“博客”是“网络日志”的简称。它是种个人网页。博客里可能有故事、评论、图片和其他网站的链接地址。有些人每天都往博客里添加新的信息。那些拥有博客的人被称为“博客一族”。
博客和垃圾邮件不同。垃圾邮件是那些发到你的电子邮箱令人厌恶的产品促销信息。"Spam"这个名字源于多年前的一个英国电视节目《蒙提·派森的飞行马戏团》中的一则笑话。朋友们在一个餐厅用餐,那儿只供应一种来自美国叫"SPAM"的加工肉制品。每次有朋友想说话时,另一群人会非常大声地叫“SPAM”这个词。 这种叫声干扰了朋友之间的讨论,正如令人厌恶的促销信息干扰了人们的网上交流。
