——传统出版：《大话英语聊天室》由大众文艺出版社推出图文并茂的传统(纸质)图书。

　　Traditional publishing: Dahua English Chatroom will be published by Popular Culture & Arts Publishing House in paper books with illustrations and pictures.

　　——网络出版：早在出版社正式出书以前，新浪网就把《大话英语聊天室》(精要版)，发布在网上供网民免费阅读；此外，有关机构还将推出《大话英语聊天室》(完整版)之网络图书。网络图书在内容上，与出版社出的纸质图书完全一致，但在阅读方式和购买费用上，却与纸质图书有很大差异：一是纸质图书可以很方便地随手翻阅，而网络图书却只能在电脑上阅读。二是纸质图书因成本较高，定价也比较高。而网络图书因成本很低，定价也很低，只有纸质图书价格的十分之一。

　　Internet publishing: Before the paper book is published, www.sina.com has already released its selected version of Dahua English Chatroom on the net for Internet lovers to read free of charge. Some institute will soon be releasing an Internet book of the complete version of Dahua English Chatroom. In content the Internet book will be the same with the paper book. But they are very different in reading method and purchasing cost. A paper book is handy to read, whereas an Internet book can only be read on a computer. Also, a paper book costs more in production, thus more expensive, while an Internet book has low cost, thus low price, which is only one-tenth of a paper book.

　　——文本出版：因为纸质图书和网络图书都是“只能阅读，不能拷贝”，所以读者无法轻易获得完整图书的电子文本，只能被动阅读，无法在原书基础上自由改动，变成“我的图书”。《大话英语聊天室》的创作者第一次推出“文本出版”的新做法。即：为方便读者利用电子文本进行“个性化学习”，创作者将图书补充附件《我的单词：越背越过瘾》之电子文本，免费发送给每一位纸质图书或网络图书读者。

　　File publishing: Both paper books and Internet books can only be read but not copied. Readers are not able to get the version and edit it freely, thus turn the book into one’s own. The authors of Dahua English Chatroom, for the first time, published a file version. It can be used by the reader as“individual learning material.”The writers will offer each paper book reader or Internet reader a free copy of a supplementary book“My Vocabulary: The More I Memorize them, The More I Like To Do It”in electronic file version.
