An Internet meme(表情包), is some kind of idea or piece of information that spreads very quickly across a large number of Internet users. It’s a bit like the online equivalent(相当的) of an inside joke, a fashionable, attention-grabbing concept(概念) that a large number of Internet users have known. A meme often takes the form of a hyperlink(超链接), spread through e-mails, blogs, social networking, instant messaging, etc.

A meme might be a joke or quotation(引语), a rumor(传言) or simple fact, an image, piece of video, or even a website, which can be passed from one person to another through electronic communication. A key facet(面,方面)of a meme is that it is voluntary, a communication which spreads from one place to the next without any kind of compulsion(懊悔)or automation(自动化).

Memes might stay the same as they transfer from one source to another, but can sometimes "evolve", modified(改进的) or expanded by each new recipient. They can also fade as fast as they spread, ascending in popularity and then disappearing within a matter of days.

The term Meme was used by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his 1976 popular science bestseller, The Selfish Gene. The term may refer to the content that spreads from user to user, the idea behind the content, or the phenomenon of its spread.

A car inside Badaling Wildlife Park in Beijing was surrounded (围堵)by bears on February 26th after someone in the car opened a window. A witness(目击者) said online that a bear reached inside the car, trying to attack the tourists.

The witness said a child in the car opened the window. Park officials rushed to the scene and drove off the bears before anybody was hurt. It was too dangerous.

It was a child in the backseat of the car who opened the window, just a little, and a bear stretched its paw into the car. The child must have been terrified and pressed the wrong button, as the window opened wider, said the witness, "Jennifer Salvatore."

Opening a car window is prohibited(禁止)while driving through the wildlife park. The park has posted warning signs telling sightseers not to open car windows while in the park.

This is the second accident in the last six months involving humans and wildlife at the park. In July, a woman was attacked by tigers when she got out of her car. The woman’s mother was killed while attempting to save her daughter and the younger woman was seriously injured.

With this latest incident, debate(争论) has once again been stirred(激起) regarding security at the wildlife park, and the behavior of visitors. Some people who have offered opinions online have blamed the tourists themselves for not obeying the posted rules inside Badaling Wildlife Park. Others have said that park administration should be doing even more to ensure the safety of guests, like increasing staff levels to keep better watch over park visitors.
