25、sian, Japanese, Korean and Lithuanian. But the latest translation eschews the written word altogether, telling the story through emoji icons the pictograms (pictures representing words or phrases) seen in text messages and e-mails.

29、orts, such as when a lighted tomahawk (战斧) is made obvious by combining the symbols for fire and a judges gavel (小木槌). “Its up to the readers ofEmoji Dickto decide whether to take it seriously,” says Michael Neubert, a digital (数字化的) projects expert at the Library of Congress, who got the book. What
30、 interests him is that it is “a work of this particular moment in time” a special representation of digital language for future generations to study when emoji, and perhaps even cellphones, have gone the way of the telegraph (电报). 32.
