THE FANDOM OF THE OPERATOR

Book ID/图书代码： 10010010B39012

English Summary/英文概要： Gary Cheese is twenty-two years of age and works for British Telecom as an operator. Gary’s hobbies include watching TV, walking his dog Princey, going down the pub with his mates, and attempting to re-animate the dead. He hasn’t been having too much success with the latter so far. But Gary’s heard a rumour. According to this bloke he met down the pub, there exists certain telecommunications technology that can actually let you speak to the dead. Apparently it’s been in operation for years. FLATLINE, it’s called, a chatline to the dead. They ran all these ads on the TV a few years ago to prepare the public for it. Those ones about having a one-to-one with famous dead people. But it seems something went very wrong: the dead had certain things to say to the living that the powers that be couldn’t allow to be heard. Or something. Apparently. Gary’s determined to find out the truth. Gary’s a bit of a fan boy and Gary really wants to speak to all of his dead heroes. And Gary will have the time of his life when he talks to the dead.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 加里·奇士，22岁，是英国电信公司一名操作员。加里的爱好包括看电视，遛他养的狗林斯，和朋友去酒吧以及让死人重生。至今为止最后那个爱好尚未成功过。不过加里听到一个说法，据他在酒吧遇到的家伙所说，存在某种电信技术可以让活人跟死人通话。其实，这一技术已经被尝试了好多年。它被称为FLATLINE，一个和死人在线聊天的工具。几年前，他们在电视上打广告，为大众接受做准备。有些人想和死去的名人一对一聊天。但似乎事情出了什麽差错：死者确实有东西想告诉活着的人但却被某些力量阻挠无法被活人听到，或者很明显，其他什麽的。加里决心找出事实的真相。 加里对此非常热衷，很想和所有他死去的英雄说话。加里跟死者聊天的时候，才有了生命。(兼职翻译-JDM)
