在“什么都不买”的自由世界里拒绝“买买买”(13)

Terms like “curb alert” or “first come first serve” are discouraged. You are not putting your stuff on the street hoping someone claims it before the trash truck comes. Instead, you are intentionally “gifting” your possessions. In this version of a gifting economy, where all items are of equal value, members are not allowed to trade or barter, as each object is seen as a gift independent of anything else. Such restrictions can prove frustrating for a member who may want to, say, trade goods for services.
不鼓励使用“不要了”或“先到先得”等用语。这不是让你把你的东西扔到街上，希望有人在垃圾车来之前拿走它。相反，你在特意“赠送”你拥有的物品。在这个版本的礼物经济中，所有物品都具有同等价值，会员不得交易或以物易物，因为每个物品都被视为礼物，与其他任何东西无关。这样的限制可能会让想以商品换服务的成员感到沮丧。
curb alert
一般就是不要的东西堆在外面，贴一个标语写着「Curb Alert」告诉别人，这东西不要了，随便拿。英文解释为“an announcement--usually through a listhost or website (e.g., Craigslist)--signaling the presence of stuff (e.g., furniture, appliances, toys) left outside a residence and free for your taking”。
