韩寒《独唱团》终成绝唱

2010年末，由韩寒担纲主编并以150万销量打破了文学期刊（periodical）市场沉寂的《独唱团》操作团队正式宣告解散，至此，曾经几度难产且只发行了一期的《独唱团》成为绝唱。

Controversial blogger Han Han may have moved one step closer to becoming a full-time racecar driver again after staff at his magazine, Party, were let go Sunday, allowing him more time on the track.
备具争议的博主韩寒也许离成为全职赛车手又近了一步。因为他创建的《合唱团》杂志团队于上周日正式解散，这让他有更多的时间在赛车场上挥洒青春。

Ma Yimu, the executive editor in chief of the magazine, announced the dismissal Monday on his microblog, saying, "I cannot believe it. I am confident we`ll be back."
本周一，《合唱团》执行主编马一木在微博上宣布了杂志团队解散的消息。他表示：“我不愿相信这是真的。我坚信我们会重新回来。”

Han`s assistant then confirmed the news with a text message.
韩寒的助理随后发短信证实了这个消息。

Han, 28, is one of the most popular Internet figures in China. His cheeky personal style, which flows throughout his books and blogs, as well as in real life, has helped him accumulate more than 306 million hits on his blog.
28岁的韩寒是中国最受欢迎的网络人物之一。他的书、博客以及现实生活中所透露出的玩世不恭的风格，使得他的博客访问人数累计超过三亿零六百万。

He is a professional racecar driver and author. His magazine, whose Chinese name means "a chorus of solos," was first printed July 6, 15 months after Han started planning for the monthly publication.
韩寒既是一名职业赛车手也是一位职业作家。他着手筹备发行月刊《独唱团》的15个月后，该杂志的创刊号于7月6号问世。

The 120-page Chinese-language magazine, priced at 16 yuan, included part of Han`s new novel, 1988 - I Want to Talk to the World, as well as essays, poems and opinion pieces from Hong Kong movie director Pang Ho-cheung, folk musician Zhou Yunpeng and blogger Luo Yonghao.
这本长达120页的中文杂志售价为16元人民币，内容涵盖韩寒新作——《1988-我想和这个世界谈谈》的部分内容以及由香港电影导演彭浩翔、民谣音乐人周云蓬和博客写手罗永浩创作的随笔、诗歌以及评论文章。

Despite its successful debut, the maiden issue was the magazine`s only publication.
尽管首发告捷，但《独唱团》创刊号却成为该杂志的绝唱。

Wang Zi, the author of "Chorus," an article published in the first issue, speculated that a lack of funds may have been the main reason for the move.
首期《独唱团》中《合唱》一文的作者王子猜测，缺少资金可能是停刊的主要原因。

"There were so many staff members in the office, but the second issue continued to be put off. The failure to publish the magazine monthly meant daily operations were not sustainable," he said.
他表示：“杂志社有很多员工，但是第二期《独唱团》迟迟不能出版。无法每月出版也就意味着无法维持日常运营。”

Zhang Xiaobo, a well-known publisher who published China Can Say No, told the Global Times that although he may not agree with many of Han`s opinions, he felt sorry for the disappearance of the Party magazine, calling it a loss to China`s publishing industry.
曾出版《China Can Say No》（中国可以说不）一书的知名发行人张小波，在接受《环球时报》采访时表示，虽然自己并不同意韩寒的很多观点，但对于《独唱团》停刊表示遗憾，并声称这是中国出版业的一大损失。
