世博汽车馆举行过创意墙报比赛。墙报俗称黑板报,黑板报在英语中怎么说呢?
A wall newspaper or wall-newspaper is a printed newspaper designed to be displayed and read in public places, such as walls. The practice dates back to at the least the Roman Empire.
墙报是一种在公共场合展示的报纸,一般印在墙上。这种做法可以追溯到罗马帝国时期。
这里的wall-newspaper,就是墙报,也即黑板报。古时候贴在集市上的告示notice,或者通缉令a hue and cry,也和wall-newspaper的性质差不多,总之就是在regular newspaper distribution难以实现的时候,就通过wall-newspaper来向大众传达信息,只不过在学校中,墙报就成了辅助学习和娱乐的手段。
