Postcrossing介紹 The project 整個計畫 The goal of this project is to allow people to receive postcards from all over the world, for free. Well, almost free! The main idea is that: if you send a postcard, you will receive at least one back from a random Postcrosser from somewhere in the world. 這個計畫的目的是讓大家能免費收到來自世界各地的明信片。恩...幾乎是免費的！ 主要的構想是，如果寄出一個明信片，你將會收到至少一個來自世界某地的Postcrosser 的回信(明信片，隨機的)。 Why? Because, like the author, there are lots of people who like to receive real mail. The element of surprise of receiving postcards from different places in the world (many of which you probably have never heard of) can turn your mailbox into a box of surprises - and who wouldn't like that? 至於為什麼呢？就像這個計畫的發起者一樣，還有很多人喜歡收到實體的信。其中 一個因素就是接收到來自不同地方明信片的驚喜(有很多地方你可能從沒聽過的)， 可以將你的信箱變成一個驚喜箱 - 而這有誰不喜歡呢？ How does it work? 該怎麼操作？ First, the short version: 首先，簡要的操作流程： 1.request an address from the website 2.mail the postcard to the address 3.wait to receive a postcard 4.register the received postcard in the system 一、從網站裡要求一個地址(要寄出的) 二、寄一個明信片到那個地址 三、等候收別人寄來的明信片 四、將別人寄來的明信片上的ID登錄在網站裡 The first step is to request to send a postcard. The website will display (and send you an e-mail) with the address of another member and a Postcard ID (e.g.: US-786). You then mail a postcard to that member. 第一個步驟就是要求寄出明信片(點擊request to send a postcard)。網站會顯示 (同時寄到你電子郵件)另一個網站會員的地址及明信片ID(例：US-786)。 然後將明信片寄到該會員所在的地址。 The member receives the postcard and registers it using the Postcard ID that is on the postcard. At this point, you are eligible to receive a postcard from another user. You are now in line for the next person that requests to send a postcard. Where the postcard comes from is a surprise! 當該會員收到你寄出的明信片及登錄明信片上你所註明的ID時，在這時，你才能夠 收到來自另一個會員寄出的明信片。也就是說你的地址正排隊等候下一個會員 點擊request to send a postcard，而明信片從何處寄來將會是個驚喜！ You can have up to 5 postcards traveling at any single time. Every time one of the postcards you send is registered, you can request another address. The number of postcards allowed to travel at any single time goes up the more postcards you send! 你一次最多能寄5張明信片(該網站會顯示Traveling: x postcards out of 5 而x不大於5)。每當你寄出的明信片被登錄時，你將能夠再要求另一會員的地址。 寄出的明信片越多，同一時間能寄出的明信片數量將會跟著提高。 --
