"發燒友"來源於什麼地方?
什麼是“發燒友”？
An audiophile , from Latin audio "Ihear" and Greek philos "loving" is a hobbyist who seeks high-quality audio reproduction via the use of non-mass-produced high-end audioelectronics.
Audiophile，由拉丁語audio(意爲“我聽見”)和希臘語philos(意爲“喜愛”)構成，指通過使用非批量生產的高端伴音電子設備以達到高品質音響效果的音響愛好者，(也就是常說的“音響發燒友”)。
Some audiophiles try to listen to music at a quality level that is as close to the original performanceas possible using high-fidelity components. Others try to recreate a particular sound belonging to a piece of equipment that is old or no longer current, such as the sound created by tube amplifiers.
有些發燒友試圖通過高保真設備在聽音樂時達到儘量接近原汁原味表演的效果。還有些發燒友則想要重現一些老舊或者不再時興的設備獨特的聲音，比如電子管功放發出的聲響。
Audiophile values may be applied atall stages of music reproduction: the initial audio recording, the production process, and the playback, which is usually in a home setting.
“發燒”的觀念可體現在音樂製作的各個階段：初期的音頻錄製、製作過程，以及錄音回放等，而回放階段通常在家中進行。
“發燒友”還被用來形容“狂熱愛好或迷戀某些高科技產品的人”。英語可以這樣表達：如enthusiast、zealot 、–fancier 或–manic。這裏有一些例子：
These car–fanciers have recently organized a club.(這些汽車發燒友最近組織了一個俱樂部。)
Most classicmusic–manics are keen on Mozart.(大多數古典音樂發燒友都喜歡莫扎特的作品。)
As an audio fancier, he has the experience of working in a recording studio.(作爲音響發燒友，他具有在錄音棚裏工作的經歷。)
I've been a web zealot for about seven years.（我當網絡發燒友大約有七年了。)
