2020年2月，高?？苹闷脚_啟動了『國際高?？苹蒙鐖F(tuán)交流計劃』，我們希望通過線上采訪的形式，結(jié)交國際科幻社團(tuán)同好，向中國科幻圈介紹國際高校科幻的發(fā)展現(xiàn)狀，促進(jìn)彼此之間的深入了解，相信嘗試著打開的這扇窗將會為彼此帶來更多光亮?

日語翻譯田田老師受平臺委托首先向13所日本高?？苹蒙鐖F(tuán)發(fā)出采訪邀請函，并陸續(xù)收到了回信（相關(guān)回信可查看《海外社團(tuán)》欄目）。2021年年末，河流向英語地區(qū)部分海外高校通過郵件取得聯(lián)系，接下來，高校科幻平臺將陸續(xù)刊登這些回信。

以下是回信的翻譯內(nèi)容

尊敬的中國高校科幻社團(tuán)聯(lián)盟：

你能找到我們并和我們聯(lián)系，這讓我感到非常驚訝，想必你一定做了很多工作，很榮幸我們社團(tuán)能成為您檢索信息中的一員。

但不幸的是，你們的科幻社團(tuán)數(shù)量遠(yuǎn)比我們要多，因此我可能幫不上什么忙，或許是學(xué)生人數(shù)的問題。我們?nèi)Ｒ还灿?2000名學(xué)生，這里面接近一半學(xué)生都有兼職，很難參加社團(tuán)活動，或者說很難有日?；顒拥臅r間和需求，尤其是社團(tuán)得在不同的日子舉辦各種活動，這就更為艱難了，而你們光四川大學(xué)就有70000名學(xué)生。

我們位于愛爾蘭芒斯特省，全稱是都柏林理工大學(xué)科幻奇幻協(xié)會，簡稱科幻協(xié)會，前身是動漫協(xié)會，2019年改成科幻協(xié)會，而我是社團(tuán)的現(xiàn)任社長。

我們每年換屆一次，假如中途有人退出，那我們會另外投票決定人選；管理成員有9人，社團(tuán)成員有190人。我們的管理委員會會和社團(tuán)聯(lián)合會共同協(xié)商每次辦活動所需的資金并對活動進(jìn)行宣傳，比如電影之旅和觀影會，辯論賽和小型知識競賽。我們還會使用twitch和discord等虛擬平臺來輔助活動順利開展；特殊活動包括一些講座、漫畫工坊和研討會議。

在獎項方面，我們在2019年改名后獲得了愛爾蘭大學(xué)社團(tuán)聯(lián)合會（Board of Irish College Societies）頒發(fā)的最佳新社團(tuán)獎（BestNew Society）。

我完全同意“紙質(zhì)書看的人越來越少”這樣一個觀點，盡管我們有一個很大的動漫書庫，一直維持正常運(yùn)營，但是幾乎沒有人來看，漫畫書似乎沒有那么受歡迎了。也正如上文所說，我們的社團(tuán)比你們還要不活躍一些，這可能是受社團(tuán)本身性質(zhì)的一些影響，也很難發(fā)掘一些新鮮的活動。

我們現(xiàn)在更多舉辦線上活動，和其他社團(tuán)甚至其他大學(xué)的社團(tuán)合作一起舉辦活動，希望能通過這種方式探尋一些新事物。

我們唯一接觸過的科幻社團(tuán)是柯克國立大學(xué)科幻動漫協(xié)會（UniversityCollege Cork Sci-Fi and Anime Society），他們就在我們這個城市，我們經(jīng)常面基合作。除此以外，我們還計劃和另外一個校區(qū)的科幻協(xié)會社長凱瑞（Kerry）合作，由于這個校區(qū)不在我們這個城市，所以我們一般只能在線上和他們聯(lián)系，至于其他地方的科幻協(xié)會，我們也沒有任何聯(lián)系。

親切問候

馬利（Marley）

Hi Chinese University Science FictionSociety Chairperson,

I’m amazed that you were able to find andcontact us, you must be doing a lot of work searching for international ScienceFiction Societies, it’s a pleasure to be included in your search.

Unfortunately I don’t think we can be ofmuch help, you seem to have a lot more activity than we do.

I imagine it’s due to student populationsize, we only have a student population of 12,000 students (half of which arepart-time and thus aren’t allowed to partake in more expensive societyactivities), compared to Sichuan University’s 70,000.

We simply do not have the supply nor demandfor daily activities, especially as different societies tend to have theirweekly events on different days.

1. Science Fiction and Fantasy Society(Often abbreviated Science Fiction Society or Sci-Fi Society, formerly ComicBook Society)

2. Comic Book Society officially rebrandedas Sci-Fi Society in 2019?

3. I am Sci-Fi’s current Chairperson forthe academic year 2021/2022 (our societies have Chairpersons instead ofpresidents)

4. Sorry, I don’t understand what you meanby transition cycle, but we hold elections for society committee positions oncea year, or more in the case that someone resigns and we need to fill theirposition.

5. We have 199 Sci-Fi Society members, 9 ofwhich are also committee members.

6. Sorry, we don’t keep record ofmembership changes, I don’t know the number of new recruits.

7. Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean.Committee negotiate funding with the Student Societies Office to financeactivities, such as cinema trips and movie-watching, which Committee have toplan, manage and advertise/publicise, if that’s of any help. We’ve also usedtechnology like Twitch and Discord to host events online.

8. We hold weekly activities, usually moviewatching, but also including debates, quizzes and miscellaneous competitions.

9. Besides the irregular debate, quiz orcompetition, we also host Special Events such as cinema trips, subsidisetickets for relevant conventions, comic book workshops/lectures.

10a. We received an award for Best NewSociety in 2019 after rebranding to Sci-Fi, both in our university and on thenational level at BICS (Board of Irish College Societies).

10b. I share completely your concerns onbooks, in our case comic books, becoming less popular, after rebranding awayfrom Comic Book Society we tried to keep a weekly comic book library going butthere simply wasn’t any interest.

As previously stated our society is evenless active than yours, and covers an even narrower range of activities, Iagree though, that it is difficult to find new things to do, under therestrictions of the society itself.

We are focusing on doing more online eventsand collaborating more with other societies and other universities’ societiesin an attempt to try and do new things.

The only Sci-Fi Society we are in contactwith is University College Cork (UCC) Sci-Fi and Anime Society, which is auniversity in the same city as us, so we collaborate with them mainly inperson.

We also have plans of contacting a Sci-FiSociety from MTU Kerry, which is another campus of our university, but in adifferent city and county, so any collaboration with them would have to befully online.

But nothing outside of either ouruniversity or city, wouldn’t know how to find them.

Kind Regards,

Marley,

Munster Technological University, Sci-FiChairperson
