HONORARY MEMBERS AND COLLECTORS
关于荣誉会员和收藏家
The Knifemakers' Guild members are very grateful to the many friends who have supported and promoted custom knives and knifemakers everywhere. Honorary members and collectors who share in the enjoyment and appreciation of each member's work provide the encouragement every artist needs to continue to grow and develop new levels of achievement.
Honorary members receive the newsletter published four times a year. They pay no admission fee at the annual Guild show and are admitted one hour before the show opens to the public, and are also guests at the Presidents' Gala held prior to each show.
美国刀具制造业协会非常感激为数众多的朋友,他们在各地致力于推广手工刀和宣传手工刀匠.
荣誉会员和收藏家他们分享自己的快乐心得,对每一个刀匠的努力表示感谢,刀匠们会在这样的氛围里面成长,提升自己的水平.
荣誉会员每年收到四次新出版的关于刀具的刊物,他们不需要购票就可以提前一小时进入年度刀展,还经常被邀请成为美国总统的嘉宾参观刀展.
(西门吹牛:荣誉会员真不错,这个头衔好,还可以见到总统,估计总统不一定能看懂刀具内涵,需要这些专家给点评点评,关于成为荣誉会员的介绍请继续往下看)

CATEGORIES OF MEMBERSHIP
会员的种类
(1) Voting Members - They have completed the Probationary Member requirements. They must display knives at the annual show once every four years. At age 55, they are exempted from the display requirement.
拥有投票权的会员:他们之前已经通过见习会员的标准,并且必须连续四年参加每年一次的刀展,如果年纪超过55岁,可以不受此限制
(西门吹牛:没有说投票选举什么,估计是协会委员,刀展的刀具的各奖项的评分什么的)
(2) Probationary Members - They must be engaged in the making of benchmade knives for sale to the public, including the grinding and/or forging of their own knives. Before attaining probationary status, they have filed an application signed by four voting members, have submitted promotional material representing his or her Handmade Knives, and have displayed their knives at the annual show where their work has been inspected by a technical committee. Probationary period is two years, at which time their knives must be displayed and inspected at the annual show before voting status can be granted.
见习会员:他们必须在手工刀领域是积极分子,并且他们的作品对公众开放,包括研磨派或者锻造派.
在成为见习会员之前,他们必须提交他们的手工作品,并参加年度刀展,接受技术委员会的检查,见习会员为期两年,期间他们的刀必须参加刀展.
(西门吹牛:只要有勇气和自信,刀匠都可以报名参加这个级别的会员)
(3) Youth Members - Young people over the age of nine, who make knives under the supervision of a parent or mentor, may be admitted as probationary members under this classification.
年轻会员:必须超过9岁,在双亲或者导师指导下作刀,过了这个级别,可以成为见习会员.
(西门吹牛:美国人骨子里面就喜欢刀,美国人超过9岁就可以玩刀,作刀?这个规定应该不会和美国法律违背.那么说在美国,超过9岁,就可以做刀了?既然可以做刀,是否可以把刀拿到市场去销售?如果是销售,是否这个9岁的孩子算童工?搞不懂!)
(4) Associate Members - This category of membership is reserved for those who are not knifemakers, but rather are engaged in a knife-related trade. Examples are, but not limited to, suppliers, photographers, publishers, purveyors, engravers, and scrimshanders. Associate members do not have voting privileges and are not required to display at the annual show.
合作会员:这类会员是为了那些不是刀匠的人准备的,他们是刀具周边商品的代理人,例如但不局限于下面的范围,包括,刀具厂商(或原料供应商),摄影师,出版商,承办商(赞助商),雕刻家,艺术家.
合作会员不具有投票权,也不必参加刀展.
(西门吹牛:这个协会的统一战线拉的太大了,前面小孩都可以成为会员,这里又把和刀具相关产业的人给笼络一番,给你一个会员的帽子戴着,何乐而不为.)
(5) Honorary Members - These are the individuals, mainly collectors and a number of writers, who support the Knifemakers' Guild, promote custom knives and knifemakers, and advance the purposes of the Guild. Honorary members must be sponsored by a voting or probationary member. Knifemakers are not eligible for honorary membership.
荣誉会员:这些会员人数不多,主要是收藏家(鉴赏家),作家.他们支持美国刀具制造业协会,他们在各地致力于推广手工刀和宣传手工刀匠.荣誉会员由有选举权的会员或见习会员推荐,刀匠不能成为荣誉会员.
(西门吹牛:看来荣誉会员不是那么好当的,首先是有钱,可以收藏众多刀匠的作品,并且能说出个子丑寅卯来,不是那种茶壶里煮饺子的角色.想想也是,假如某人有钱,收集了一堆好刀,但是不知道刀具好在哪里,万一陪总统先生看刀展,总统要是问起啥来,他答不上来就麻烦了)
(6) Knifemaker Emeritus - This category is reserved for those knifemakers who have attained voting status and are no longer able to make knives and are not continuing in the knife business.
退休刀匠:他们曾经成为有投票权的会员,但是不再做刀了,也不再参加关于刀具的商业活动了.
(西门吹牛:美国人是儿童的天堂,成年人的战场,老年人的坟墓.等你老的做不动刀了,就退休吧,也给你一个帽子戴着,这个协会的涵盖面还真广)
(7) Founding Members - This group is comprised of the knifemakers responsible for founding the Knifemakers' Guild. Founding members do not pay annual dues, and the fourth year display requirement is waived.
委员会成员:由有责任心的刀匠组成,他们不负担年费,但是这个职位为期四年,不能连任.
(西门吹牛:估计他们的任务是类似常务会员之类的,可能由那些有选举权的会员选举产生,由此推测是否其他的会员需要交年费,天下没有免费的午餐,你以为那些帽子是白给的吗,呵呵,退休的和小孩不说了,起码见习会员和有投票权的会员需要交年费吧.再说了,这些会员如果真有才,可以获得刀展的某个奖项,那么广告效应可以给他们带来更多的利益.这点和娱乐圈很象,舍得包装自己,才有钱途)
OK,喘口气,喘口气.累死我了.
下面我们会有第一个疑问,既然协会成立了,而且涵盖范围几乎包括了所有和刀相关的领域,那么协会是如何推广的? |
