你是哪個“粉絲圈”的？

這是一個不缺偶像的時代，當(dāng)然也是一個粉絲泛濫的時代。各類社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)上都有不同粉絲團(tuán)體的狂熱身影，他們關(guān)注自己偶像的一舉一動，一顰一笑，而且他們有屬于自己的圈子，這個圈子叫fandom（粉絲圈）。

Fandom (consisting of fan plus the suffix -dom, as in kingdom, freedom, etc.) is a term used to refer to a subculture composed of fans characterized by a feeling of sympathy and camaraderie with others who share a common interest.

Fandom（就是fan加后綴dom，像kingdom和freedom一樣）指由粉絲構(gòu)成的一種亞文化現(xiàn)象，這些粉絲擁有共同的興趣愛好并且彼此之間存在一種志趣相投的友情。我們稱之為“粉絲圈”。

A fandom can grow up centered around any area of human interest or activity. The subject of fan interest can be narrowly defined, focused on something like an individual celebrity, or more widely defined, encompassing entire hobbies, genres or fashions. While it is now used to apply to groups of people fascinated with any subject, the term has its roots in those with an enthusiastic appreciation for sports. The usage of the term can be traced back as far as 1903.

粉絲圈可以圍繞任何一個領(lǐng)域的人文興趣或活動成長。粉絲關(guān)注的中心從狹義上講可以是某個名人，從廣義上講可以涵蓋所有的興趣愛好、風(fēng)格或時尚潮流。雖然這個表達(dá)現(xiàn)在主要用來指代狂熱迷戀某個追逐對象的人群，但其實這個表達(dá)最早來源于狂熱的體育迷。這個詞的使用歷史可以追溯到1903年。

Fandom as a term can also be used in a broad sense to refer to the interconnected social networks of individual fandoms, many of which overlap.

Fandom也可以用來指代各個粉絲圈之間互相交織而成的社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)，不同的粉絲圈都會有交叉重合。
