Web Site Helps Jailbirds Get Back Together
http://www.sina.com.cn 2002/06/12 09:18  《英语学习》

  Ex-British jailbirds, keen to get back in touch with former cellmates or just looking for a getaway driver for the next big bank job, now have a Web site dedicated to their needs—Convicts Reunited.“This web site is for Convicts and Ex-convicts who have either lost contact with old prison inmates or are maybe looking for fellow cons to see what they are up to* after prison.”says the Web site, www.convictsreunited.com.“This site is run by ex-convict personnel only, no part of this site was created by non-convicts so we understand your needs better.”Following a formula used by the hugely successful Friends Reunited site, which helps Britons get back in touch with old school chums and boasts 2.5 million registered users, Convicts Reunited says it has the largest database of former and current prisoners. And despite its tongue-in-cheek welcome—“should you find old friends or colleagues...you may be able to share those old times again, or work together on your latest venture”—the Convicts Reunited site insists it is not a forum for organizing crime.“Convicts Reunited neither condones nor encourages the use of these pages to organize or facilitate criminal activity,”the site disclaimer says.

  在英国,想和狱友重聚或是想为下一票“银行大买卖”找接应司机的刑满罪犯如今有了一个专为他们创设的网站——“罪犯重逢”。“本网站为那些与狱中老友失去联系或是打算找狱友共商刑满后之大计的罪犯或前罪犯服务。”www.convictsreunited.com网站说:“本网站员工均为刑满释放人员,网站所有内容都是由有前科者制作的,因此我们更了解罪犯们的需要。”声称拥有最大的前科犯及现行囚犯资料库的“罪犯重逢”网站套用了大获成功的“故友重逢”网站的模式,后者旨在帮助英国人与昔日同窗重拾友情,拥有250万注册用户。“罪犯重逢”坚称它不是一个组织犯罪的论坛——尽管它半开玩笑的欢迎辞中如是写道:“如果你找到老朋友、老同事……你们可以再次分享往日时光,或者并肩投入新的冒险。”网站的免责声明中说:“本网站不宽容也不鼓励使用本站网页组织犯罪行为或为之提供便利。”

  Remarks:网络只是工具,而且曾经同牢共坐也算是患难之交,我们不妨把这个网站看成是和Chinaren校友录一样的东西。
