ArLynn Presser is a 51-year-old woman who lives in Winnetka, Illinois. It’s normal for ArLynn to stay indoors all the time. In fact, for most of her adult life, she hardly ever left the confines of her home, and most certainly did not venture out of her home town. Her career as a writer ensured that she could spend her life indoors and still get things done. If this sounds strange to you, you must know that ArLynn suffers from agoraphobia – the fear of crowded places or enclosed public spaces. Arlynn Presser（阿莲·普瑞色）今年51岁，居住在伊利诺斯州的温内卡特。她基本上每天都待在家里。实际上，在她成年以后，几乎没有离开过家，更不要提离开家乡了。她是一名作家，这让她可以足不出户就能把事情做好。这事情听起来很奇怪，不过这是因为Arlynn患有陌生环境恐惧症---害怕拥挤的地方或封闭的公共场所。 Like most introverts, ArLynn interacts with people online and she has 325 friends she chats with on Facebook. Last year, she went and did something that no one could have ever expected. On 31st of Dec, 2010, she made a resolution to meet all 325 of her Facebook friends in person, the following year. She wrote a blog post about it and then set about achieving her goal. She called her project “Face to Facebook”. 就像大部分内向的人一样，Arlynn是通过网络和他人交流，现在她在Facebook（脸谱）上已经有325名好友。就在去年，她做了别人都未曾想过的事情。2010年12月31日，她下定决心要在下一年和她Facebook上的325名好友亲自见面。为此她写了一篇博客，然后开始实现目标。她把这一计划叫做 “Facebook面对面”。 |
