#####原文地址http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/History，注，這是國外的獸圈發(fā)展史。
Furry fandom?is the collective of people who express an interest in?anthropomorphic?animals in art, literature, cartoons, pop culture and any other use of animal characters with human attributes. The object of the fandom is not a genre nor any specific segment of the arts, but rather an interest in a specific type of character that may appear in any genre of fiction or type of media.
獸圈是那些對藝術(shù)、文學(xué)、卡通、流行文化以及其他作品中帶有人類屬性的動物有著興趣的人的集合/圈子。而這個粉絲圈的客體[指被喜歡的對象]既不是一個流派，也不是任何特定的藝術(shù)，而是一種特定種類的角色，出現(xiàn)在任何種類的小說或媒體中。
The Lion Man of the Hohlenstein-Stadel. Oldest known anthropomorphic art in the world, carbon dated to approximately 30,000 BC.
The?Lion Man of the Hohlenstein-Stadel.是世界上目前已知最早的擬人化作品，放射性碳年代測定知這件作品大約要追溯到公元前30000年。
The interest itself may be as old as civilization.?Anthropomorphic?animal characters are found in the art of many ancient cultures. Anthropomorphic characters from?Egyptian mythology?continue to this day to be a source of inspiration to?furry artists, as do aspects of Native American anaimal related spirituality.
這個興趣它本身也許和文明一樣久遠。擬人化的動物角色在許多的古代文化中都有發(fā)現(xiàn)。從埃及神話中發(fā)現(xiàn)的動物角色直至今日都是一些獸圈藝術(shù)家的靈感來源，在與靈性有關(guān)的Native American animal方面也有體現(xiàn)。[本段可能有誤譯]
The earliest example of anthropomorphic literature commonly cited by furry fans is?Aesop's Fables, which dates to around 500 BC.[1]
最早被獸獸們普遍引用的擬人化文學(xué)的例子是Aesop's Fables，大約在公元前500年。[1]
Anthropomorphic characters then continued to proliferate through the ages in the form of?folk tales. When folk tales were eventually collected and categorized, literary scholars determined that animals with human attributes such as speech were an element specific to fairytales[2]?And as?fairytales?became popular, anthropomorphic animals became a familiar aspect of most world cultures.
此后，擬人化角色繼續(xù)發(fā)展，以民間傳說的形式呈現(xiàn)。當(dāng)這些民年傳說被最終收集并分類后，文學(xué)學(xué)者決定，那些帶有人類屬性如說話）的動物角色應(yīng)當(dāng)是童話故事[2]中特有的元素。隨著童話故事的流行，擬人化動物變成了大多數(shù)世界文化中相似的一方面。
The 1800s saw the advent of the?fantasy,?science fiction?and?children's literature?genres. Significant milestones and advancements included?Lewis Carroll’s?fantasy novel?Alice's Adventures in Wonderland?in 1865,?Beatrix Potter’s illustrated children’s books in 1890,?Rudyard Kipling’s collection of talking animal stories?The Jungle Book?in 1894,?H. G. Wells’ 1896 science fiction novel?The Island of Dr. Moreau?and?James Swinnerton’s?Mr. Jack?in 1896, the first appearance of anthropomorphic animals in comic strips.
19世紀(jì)見證了幻想小說、科幻小說以及兒童文學(xué)的產(chǎn)生。重要的里程碑與成就包括Lewis Carroll在1865年的幻想小說《愛麗絲漫游仙境》、Beatrix Potter在1890年發(fā)表的有插圖的兒童書、Rudyard Kipling于1894年的對會講話動物的收藏《叢林故事》、H. G. Wells 1896年發(fā)表的科幻小說《莫羅博士島》（未找到慣用譯名）及James Swinnerton同年發(fā)表的《杰克先生》，第一次擬人化動物在連環(huán)畫中的亮相。
Of particular significance is a series of children’s books by?Palmer Cox?begun in 1890 called?"Funny Animals,"?which is the earliest discovered use of the term in relation to anthropomorphic animals.
特別重要的是Palmer?Cox發(fā)表的一系列兒童書（叫做“Funny Animals”），這是最早發(fā)現(xiàn)的關(guān)于擬人化動物的術(shù)語。

Also of significance are the novels of?Felix Salten?published between 1926 and 1945 which established the precedents of what would later be called?furry fiction.
同樣重要的還有Felix Salten在1926至1945年間發(fā)表的一系列小說，建立了后來被叫做“毛茸茸小說”的先例。
With the advent of animation and comic books in the first half of the 20th century, anthropomorphic animals became a popular phenomenon with fans of all ages. Their popularity peeked during?World War 2, certain characters becoming icons of Americana[3]?And in 1945?George Orwell’s?Animal Farm?became the first anthropomorphic animal novel universally recognized as a work specifically for adults.
伴隨著動畫與漫畫在20世紀(jì)上半葉的首次出現(xiàn)，擬人化動物變成了一種在粉絲與全年齡段人群間流行的現(xiàn)象。他們的流行性在二戰(zhàn)期間開始下降，確定的角色變成了Americana[3]的標(biāo)志。隨后在1945年George Orwell的《動物莊園》成為了第一個普遍認(rèn)為是面向成人的擬人化動物小說。
In the post-war years, cartoons and literature focused most?of their animal related efforts on children’s entertainment, inspiring many to believe that cartoons and animal stories were strictly for kids.[4]?While the children who grew up with?funny animals?in some cases maintained the interest in anthropomorphic animals into adulthood and conceived of using such characters in works for older age groups. A notable example being?C. S. Lewis, who attributed his fascination with anthropomorphic animals to the influence of Beatrix Potter.[5]
在戰(zhàn)后的幾年里，動漫與文學(xué)專注于多數(shù)在兒童娛樂方面與動物有關(guān)的工作，促使更多人相信卡通與動物的故事僅僅是“小孩子的專利”[4]。與此同時伴隨著“Funny Animals”長大的小孩子們在某些情況下攜帶了對擬人化動物的興趣直到成年，并設(shè)想用在工作中對年長群體用這樣的角色。一個有記載的例子是C. S. Lewis，把自己對擬人化動物的迷戀歸結(jié)為Beatrix?Potter（人名）的影響。[5]
Somewhat more relaxed attitudes towards art and experimentation in the 1960s and early 1970s saw the use of controversial concepts in fantasy animal stories become more common, attracting increased interest from older fans. Significant milestones included?Kimba The White Lion,?The Planet Of The Apes,?Fritz The Cat?and?Watership Down. These expanded uses of anthropomorphic animals could not be contained by the existing?Funny Animal Fandom, creating a need for a more encompassing fandom that would eventually be called Furry.
在20世紀(jì)60年代和70年代早期，對藝術(shù)和實驗持放松態(tài)度的人們見證了在奇幻的動物故事中使用有爭議的概念（這一現(xiàn)象）走向普遍，吸引了老粉絲興趣的增長。重要的標(biāo)志包括Kimba的《白獅》（未找到慣用譯名）《人猿星球》《怪貓菲力茨》以及《海底沉舟》。這些擴大的擬人化動物的使用還不能被當(dāng)時所存在的"毛茸茸動物粉絲圈"（避免歧義，不用獸圈）接納，這就要求創(chuàng)造一個更加包容的粉絲圈，最終被叫做Furry。
Furry fandom history/獸圈歷史
Earliest events/早年大事記
The earliest evidence of the developing expanded fandom is the funny animal?APA?Vootie, started in 1976.
最早的發(fā)展中的擴大型粉絲圈是the funny animal?APA?Vootie，1976年啟動。（下文APA）
The?Cartoon/Fantasy Organization?began in 1977 as an anime group would spin-off the earliest known funny animal fan club.
The?Cartoon/Fantasy Organization于1977年開始，作為一種動漫群體將會衍生出已知最早的“Funny Animal”俱樂部。（下文C/FO）
And in 1980, Steve Gallacci's art generated interest in a funny animal sci-fi discussion group that met at sci-fi cons.
于1980年，Steve?Gallacci的藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作讓他對在科幻片上相遇的一個有趣的動物科幻討論小組產(chǎn)生了興趣。
The 1980s/20世紀(jì)80年代
Vootie's cessation in 1983 led to the founding of the?Rowrbrazzle?APA one year later. The transition between?Vootie?and?Rowrbrazzle?is considered by some to be a crucial evolutionary point between?funny animal fandom?and?furry fandom. Though it would still be many years before the new term was universally adopted.
Vootie 1983年的停止導(dǎo)致了一年之后the?Rowrbrazzle?APA的建立。兩者之間的過渡被有些人認(rèn)為是從“毛茸茸動物粉絲圈”向“獸圈”的關(guān)鍵進化點。盡管在新術(shù)語（指獸圈）被普遍接受前，它（指毛茸茸動物粉絲圈）還會存在許多年。
The early 1980s also saw the release of several all ages films that greatly increased interest in Furry Fandom, including?The Secret of NIMH,?The Flight Of Dragons,?The Last Unicorn,?The Plague Dogs?and?Animalympics. While the fantasy novel market soon began producing such titles as Alan Dean Foster’s?Spellsinger?series, Brian Jacques’?Redwall?and Tad Williams’?Tailchaser's Song. And the independent comics market produced titles as varied as?Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,?Albedo,?Usagi Yojimbo,?Cutey Bunny,?Critters?and?Omaha The Cat Dancer.
20世紀(jì)80年代早期有著一些全年齡電影的發(fā)布，這導(dǎo)致了獸圈興趣的大幅增長，包括《鼠譚秘奇》《飛龍》（未查到慣用譯名）《最后的獨角獸》《疫病犬》和《動物奧運會》。而幻想小說的市場不就就推出了諸如Alan Dean Foster的《咒術(shù)詩人》系列（未查到慣用譯名）、Brian Jacques的《紅墻》（未查到慣用譯名）以及Tad Williams的《追擊者之歌》（未查到慣用譯名）的書名（title，疑似原文有誤）。與此同時獨立漫畫市場也推出了《忍者神龜》《反照率》《兔用心棒》《可愛兔》（未查到慣用譯名）《Critters》（難譯）和《貓舞者奧馬哈》。
In 1985, at the?San Diego Comic Convention, Judy Niver (one of the founders of the?C/FO), hosted a party in her room at the Hotel San Diego. The?Rowrbrazzle?APA group was also having a party in the same hotel, and there was much overlap in attendance. After that party at Comic Con, it became a tradition to have at least one furry party during the convention. In more recent years, the Comic Con party has been called?CritterConDiego?and?Califur Diego.
在1985年的the?San?Diego?Comic?Convention中，Judy?Niver（C/FO的一位建立者）在圣地亞哥賓館中她的房間內(nèi)主持了一次排隊。The?Rowrbrazzle?APA群組在同一個賓館中也開了派對，出席的人數(shù)有很多的交叉重疊。在那次Comic Con之后，在漫展中舉辦至少一次獸聚成了一個傳統(tǒng)。在最近的幾年中，Comic Con有了“CritterConDiego”“Califur Diego”的別號。
Also, at the 1985?Westercon?Science Fiction Convention in?Sacramento,?California,?Mark Merlino?and?Rod O'Riley?hosted a?room party?in Sheldon Linker and Toni Poper's room. Most room parties at sci-fi and fantasy cons have a theme, so the party was called The?Prancing Skiltaireparty, after the name of Merlino's house.?Animalympics?was screened, along with some?Warner Bros.?short cartoons, and collections of?furry artwork?and?short stories?were on display. Several visitors to the party were very interested in the videos and the art. Some showed?sketchbooks?and collections of their furry art. Their party at the 1986 Westercon in?San Diego, CA, was the first to be openly called a?furry party. After the success of these parties, Mark and Rod began hosting similar events at conventions all over California.
與此同時，在1985年加利福尼亞州薩克拉門托的Westercon?Science Fiction Convention中，Mark Merlino和Rod O'Riley在Sheldon?Linker和Toni Poper共同的房間中舉辦了一次房間聚會。許多聚會在科幻與幻想的展覽中都有個主題，所以這次聚會也被稱作“The?Prancing Skiltaireparty”，得名于Merlino房屋的名字。（擬人化）動物的圖片、一些華納兄弟的動畫短片，和獸人藝術(shù)作品與短篇故事的收藏均被展示在熒幕上。一些聚會的訪客對這些視頻與藝術(shù)作品十分感興趣。有人拿出了關(guān)于他們的獸向藝術(shù)的速寫與收藏。他們1986年在Westercon in?San Diego, CA的派對是第一個被公認(rèn)的獸聚。在這些派對的成功之后，Mark和Rod在所有加利福尼亞的漫畫大會中開始主持相似的派對。（本段可能有誤）
In the mid 1980s, a unified group of fans interested in animal?characters?in?comics?and stories was forming around other organized fan activities. Such as?Room parties?at?science fiction?conventions, meetings of the?C/FO, and?APA?collating parties?(for?funny animal?and cartooning APAs, such as?Vootie?and?Rowrbrazzle). Fans with internet access kept in contact with each other on computer?BBSs?(Bulletin Board Systems) like the?Tiger's Den,?StormGate Aerie?and?Kyim's Scratching Post.
在20世紀(jì)80年代中期，一群統(tǒng)一的對漫畫與故事中的擬人化動物有興趣的粉絲正在圍繞其他有組織的粉絲活動組織。例如科幻小說展中的房間派對，C/FO會議以及APA整理的派對（面向“Funny Animal”以及APA的卡通，例如Vootie和Rowrbrazzle）。擁有互聯(lián)網(wǎng)許可的粉絲們通過電腦上的電子布告欄系統(tǒng)（或者說論壇？）來互相保持聯(lián)系，例如the?Tiger's Den,?StormGate Aerie和Kyim's Scratching Post
As the internet became more accessible, it became the most popular means for furry fans to keep in touch and share their artistic efforts. This gained the fandom higher visibility and it began to grow rapidly.
隨著互聯(lián)網(wǎng)變得更加易于接入，這變成了獸迷間聯(lián)系和分享他們的藝術(shù)作品的最流行方式。這使這個粉絲群獲得了肉眼可見的增長量及增長速度。
Virtual environments, such as?MUCKs, soon became the most popular places on the net for furry fans to meet and communicate. One of the oldest and largest MUCKs in existence is?FurryMUCK. One of the newest virtual environments to attract furry fans is?Second Life. Other on-line chat environments in the early 1990s included?GEnie,?CompuServe,?Prodigy?and?Delphi.
虛擬環(huán)境（譯者認(rèn)為是“模擬經(jīng)營類游戲”），例如MUCKs，不就變成了獸迷們在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上相見與交流的最佳去處。一個最老最大、至今仍存在的MUCKs是FurryMUCK。一個最新的吸引獸迷的虛擬環(huán)境是第二人生。其他的在線聊天環(huán)境在20世紀(jì)90年代出現(xiàn)，包括GEnie,?CompuServe,?Prodigy和Delphi.
APAs and?fanzine?"wars" became popular, with mail-in art and?comic?contributions collated and distributed to all members.
APA與愛好者雜志的“運動”變得更加流行，其郵寄的藝術(shù)作品和漫畫的貢獻被整理和分發(fā)給所有成員。
In 1989,?Mark Merlino?and?Rod O'Riley?decided to expand on the furry party concept and host the first prototype?furry convention,?ConFurence Zero. ConFurence continued to be the premier international gathering place of furry fans, until other independent furry-themed conventions were organized.
在1989年，Mark Merlino與Rod O'Riley決定擴張獸聚并且主持了第一個獸展的原型，ConFurence Zero。ConFurence Zero繼續(xù)變成了國際上獸迷的聚集地的首要地帶，知道其他獨立的獸展被組織。
The 1990s
On the?U.S.?east coast, furry fans were gathering at the?New York?chapter of the?C/FO, founded by?Ken Sample?and friends.?Ray Rooney?and?Major Matt Mason?hosted parties in their suite at?Philcon?in?Philadelphia?for several years. Philcon eventually hosted the first major Furry?art show?and?dealer's room. In 1994,?Trish Ny?organized?Furtasticon, a prototype east coast furry convention at the?Holiday Inn, next to the?Adam's Mark?hotel, Philcon's venue. Trish went on to found?ConFurence East?in 1995.
在美國東海岸，獸迷們在the?New York?chapter of the?C/FO（由Ken Sample及其朋友組織）聚集。接下來的幾年中，Ray Rooney和Major Matt Mason在他們Philcon?in?Philadelphia的套房里主持派對。Philcon最終成為了第一個主要的獸藝術(shù)展以及經(jīng)銷商的房間（懷疑有誤）。1994年，Trish Ny組織了Furtasticon，the?Holiday Inn中的一個東海岸獸展的原型，與Adam的Mark?hotel中Philcon的場所相鄰。Trish在1995年繼續(xù)組織了ConFurence East。
In 1996, at the?World Science Fiction Convention?in?Anaheim, California, the?Furry Fandom Lounge?was organized by the?ConFurence?committee as five-day furry programming track. The general Worldcon program schedule publicized the furry parties, panels, and exhibits which included a glass-encased "History of Furry Fandom" display by?David Bliss.
1996年，在Anaheim, California的世界科幻大會上，the?Furry Fandom?Lounge被ConFurence組織來充當(dāng)五日的獸圈追蹤。這次綜合的的世界科幻大會的項目表上公開了獸聚、展板和展品包括一個玻璃制的“History of Furry Fandom”由David Bliss展出。
In 1997,?Anthrocon?is first held in?Albany, New York?and goes on to become the largest?furry convention?to date.
在1997年，Anthrocon第一次在Albany, New York舉行，隨后成為最大的獸展。
A schism which had been developing in the fandom for some years reached a boiling point in the aftermath of?ConFurence?8, which quickly became notorious for a variety of sexualized incidents. Previous years had seen several similar incidents; complaints about poor public behavior were repeatedly brought to the convention's staff to be addressed. As a rule, however, these complaints were ignored, with the result that the offended parties began airing their grievances in such forums as alt.fan.furry.
在獸圈中發(fā)展了多年的分裂在aftermath of?ConFurence?8達到了沸點，很快因為各種性（Sex）事件而臭名昭著。早先的幾年已經(jīng)有過相似的事件，對公眾不良行為的投訴也反復(fù)多次被提交到展會的工作人員那里。然而，作為一條規(guī)則，這些投訴被忽略了，因此被冒犯的那一方開始在alt.fan.furry之類的論壇上表達他們的不滿。
Backlash appeared from various other parties who, alternately, mocked the complaints or defended the persons who had engaged in the offensive behavior. Oftentimes, accusations of religious intolerance and puritanism were leveled at the complainers. This led to the creation of the?Burned Furs?and, in response to that, the?Freezing Furs, the ongoing flamewar centering around the increasing tendency to place fetishes on public display to the fandom's purported detriment in the press. For the most part,?Burned Fur?proclaimed that they didn't care what people did in the privacy of their own bedrooms and that it should stay there, while those most vocally opposed to the group either defended open sexuality as a social cause, or claimed that?Burned Fur?was itself attracting bad press by complaining in the first place. To date, however, the only records in the press referencing the group actually originate with complaints by its opposition during their own interviews with reporters. In the middle of this conflict was a small group known as?Furry Peace?who openly declared tolerance for all parties but otherwise sought to stay out of the furor.
從其他的派別中出現(xiàn)了強烈反對，他們時而嘲笑抱怨者，時而為冒犯者辯護。通常，宗教不寬容的指控與清教主義針對了那些抱怨者。這導(dǎo)致了the?Burned Furs的建立，以及作為回應(yīng)，the?Freezing Furs（也建立了）。這持續(xù)不斷的火藥味與持續(xù)增長的將戀物癖公之于眾的趨勢，在媒體上展示粉絲群所受的危害。[這里機翻了一下]就多數(shù)而言，Burned Fur宣布說他們不在意人們在他們自己臥室里的所作所為，但必須僅限于臥室里，而他們言辭上反對一些群體以社會的原因辯護開放/性/事件，或是聲稱Burned Fur自己就通過在第一位解釋而吸引了負(fù)面的新聞。然而到目前為止，唯一的引用這個群體的新聞記錄實際上是帶著抱怨且在他們自己接受記者采訪時遭到了反對。在沖突中期，這還是一個作為Furry Peace聞名的小群體，他們公開宣布容忍所有黨派，但在其他方面卻試圖置身于憤怒之外。
The schism climaxed when?ConFurence?10 saw a change in ownership. The new chairman,?Darrel Exline, was a Burned Fur, ?and although the convention remained open to all ratings of material, there was a mass boycott by fans who believed that they would be persecuted if they attended. The convention also changed its date and venue, contributing to a much smaller turnout than normal.?ConFurence?continued on for several outings, but never recovered its earlier membership levels and ultimately closed its doors.
當(dāng)ConFurence 10看到所有權(quán)的變化時，分裂達到了高潮。新的主席，Darrel Exline，是一個Burned Fur，盡管該大會對所有材料的評級都持開放態(tài)度，但仍有大批粉絲抵制大會，他們認(rèn)為如果他們參加，就會受到迫害。大會還改變了日期和地點，導(dǎo)致投票率大大低于正常水平。ConFurence繼續(xù)了幾次遷移（outings），但從未恢復(fù)到之前的會員數(shù)目，并最終關(guān)閉了它的大門。
Meanwhile, numerous other furry conventions had been springing up already, several in direct response to the mismanagement of?ConFurence?prior to CF10. Almost universally, these adopted specific and stringent public-behavior polices, leading to a sharp drop in incidents of public sexualization at furry conventions. This, in turn, slowly turned around the fandom's press image by making these incidents into "old news". Poor press continued on the fringe from time to time, as with MTV's "Sex2K" special, as well as certain TV episodes of "CSI" and "St. Elsewhere", but the mainstream image of furries slowly began to be replaced with news coverage of furry conventions where the most interesting thing to film were happy-go-lucky fursuit parades.
與此同時，眾多其他的獸展也在迅速萌發(fā)，其中的幾個直接回應(yīng)了之前CF10事件的管理不善。幾乎所有的都采取了具體而嚴(yán)格的公共行為政策，這導(dǎo)致了獸展上公眾/性/事件數(shù)目的急劇下降。這反過來又慢慢地讓獸迷在媒體中的形象發(fā)生了轉(zhuǎn)變，把這些事件變成了“舊新聞”。少量的媒體繼續(xù)在邊緣報道這些事情，就像MTV的Sex2K的特別節(jié)目，或者CSI和St.Elsewhere這類的電視情節(jié)，但對獸迷的主流印象漸漸由新的獸展所取代，以及那些隨處可見的獸裝游行。
This, in turn, effectively defused the schism by eliminating the primary source of the fandom's mainstream image problem.
這進而通過消除獸迷主流形象問題的主要根源，有效地化解了分歧。
In 1999, at the?North American Science Fiction Convention?in?Anaheim, California, the?Furry Fandom Lounge?reflected on 15 years of fandom. That year also saw the launch of?Further Confusion?in the Bay Area of?San Francisco, CA, which eventually become the second largest?furry convention?in the world.
在1999年，the?North American Science Fiction Convention?in?Anaheim, California上，the?Furry Fandom Lounge回顧了15年來的獸圈生活。那一年同樣有著Further Confusion?in the Bay Area of?San Francisco, CA的啟動，這最終變成了世界第二大的獸展。
The 2000s\21世紀(jì)
Furry conventions have exploded in the 2000s, with over 30 cons starting up, so far. In comparison, the 1990s saw 13 cons, all but two of them after 1995.[6]
21世紀(jì)，獸展爆炸式增長，超過30個獸展進行了創(chuàng)立。而相比之下，20世紀(jì)90年代僅僅有13個獸展，其中除了兩個還都在1995年之后。
In 2003, Dr. Samuel Conway (also known as?Uncle Kage?of?Anthrocon) was a?guest of honor?at the?I-CON?science fiction and fantasy convention in?Stony Brook, New York. His renowned story hour has since become a fixture of the convention through recent years.
2003年，Dr. Samuel Conway（作為Uncle Kage?of?Anthrocon而出名）是一個在the?I-CON?science fiction and fantasy convention in?Stony Brook, New York上的貴客。近年來，他著名的《故事時刻》已成為大會的固定節(jié)目。
In 2006, at the?North American Science Fiction Convention?in?SeaTac, Washington, the?Stalking Cat?was one of the notable program participants.
2006年，在the?North American Science Fiction Convention?in?SeaTac, Washington上，《Stalking Cat》也是一個重要的節(jié)目。
At the 2006?Westercon?in?San Diego, a 20th anniversary furry party was held.
在the 2006?Westercon?in?San Diego上，舉辦了一個20周年慶的獸聚。
At the 2006?World Science Fiction Convention?in?Anaheim, California, the?Furry Fandom Lounge?returned under the organization of?Rod O'Riley?of the?Califur?group. The programming track included a furry artist reception and panels ranging from?fursuiting?basics to the new world of furry?webcomics.
在the 2006 World Science Fiction Convention?in?Anaheim, California中，the?Furry Fandom?Lounge回到了Rod O'Riley?of the?Califur?group的組織之下。這次計劃包括了一個獸藝術(shù)家的接待和一個展示了從獸裝基礎(chǔ)到獸迷網(wǎng)漫的新世界的展板。
The Internet\網(wǎng)絡(luò)
The first?usenet?newsgroups?began to appear in the early 1990s.?alt.fan.furry?was created in late 1990, and eventually spawned a number of additional newsgroups, such as?alt.lifestyle.furry?which was created in 1996.?Furrynet, an unofficial usenet hierarchy of fur.* newsgroups, was created in the late 1990s. In 2000, there was an unsuccessful attempt to create?rec.arts.furry, which would have brought furry fandom into the primary usenet hierarchy.
第一個使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)的群體在20世紀(jì)90年代早期出現(xiàn)。alt.fan.furry在1990年晚期創(chuàng)立，最終促成了大量附加的新聞小組，例如1996年創(chuàng)立的alt.lifestyle.furry。Furrynet，一個非官方而在fur.*上使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)等級制度的小組，在20世紀(jì)90年代晚期創(chuàng)立。在2000年，還有一次不成功的嘗試去創(chuàng)建rec.arts.furry，這是已經(jīng)把獸圈帶向之前的網(wǎng)絡(luò)等級制度的。
By 1992, furry fans could participate in on-line social role-playing environments for free, if they had access to the Internet.?MUCKs, Mushes and?MOOs?were created by furry fans for furry fans and hosted at educational and commercial sites. With the dawn of the World Wide Web, furry fans found their Mecca, with personal web sites, art and writing archives and forums providing a way for furry fans to communicate and share their interests internationally.?Yerf?and?YiffCo?and?VCL?and other art archives soon dominated the art scene.
1992年，獸迷可以免費參與在線的角色扮演環(huán)境，如果他們有接入互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的權(quán)限。MUCKs, Mushes 與?MOOs都是由獸迷創(chuàng)建獸迷主持的教育及商業(yè)網(wǎng)站。隨著互聯(lián)網(wǎng)黎明的到來，獸迷們用個人的網(wǎng)絡(luò)站點建立了他們的Mecca，藝術(shù)、寫作檔案和論壇為獸迷提供了一種國際的交流分享他們興趣的方式。
In the late 1990s,?David J. Rust?(aka?Sylvan), attempted to document the internal social dynamics and trends within Furry fandom. While originally intended to be a?fan film?documentary, the research he conducted from 1996 - 1997 was eventually collated into?The Sociology of Furry Fandom, a Subculture Study, the first academic study of?furry sociology.
在20世紀(jì)90年代晚期，David J. Rust?(aka?Sylvan)嘗試記載Furry內(nèi)部的社會動態(tài)與趨勢。雖然原本僅打算成為獸迷的電影紀(jì)錄片，但他從1996年到1997年進行的研究最終被歸類為Furry社會學(xué)，這是一項亞文化研究，是關(guān)于Furry社會學(xué)的第一項學(xué)術(shù)研究。

#譯者注
許多地名有的翻譯了有的未翻譯，這里是方便起見，只翻譯了譯者熟悉的；
因為有些事物的出現(xiàn)時間譯者不確定，所以對于同一個詞可能會有很多翻譯；例如conventions，譯者并不清楚什么時候是展，什么時候是大會；
某些專有名詞不翻譯，書名盡量翻譯；
譯文中所有的獸均指毛茸茸，F(xiàn)urry或Kemono等同義詞，不是野獸/Wild Animals之類。
