　　翻译：毛毛　　Do you know about a series of books that say they are “for dummies”? These American self-help books have been translated into more than 39 languages. They include Chinese, Arabic, Russian, French, German, Greek and Spanish. Barbara Klein has more.
　　“Dummy”is a slang word for a stupid person. The Dummies books are not really for stupid people. They are designed to show people how to do something they may never have tried before. Things like painting a house or learning a language. The books all say in a funny way that they are for dummies. They include World History for Dummies, Rabbits For Dummies, Chinese Cooking For Dummies, and Wedding Planning For Dummies.
　　The first such book was published in 1991. It was called DOS For Dummies. It helped people learn how to use the DOS operating system for computers. Since then, more than 150 million Dummies books have been sold.省略 website explains the idea behind the books. It says they demonstrate[证明] that people can be taught to do anything. It also describes how the books present their information. First they make fun of ideas that are difficult to understand. Then they show how the information can be interesting and easy. The publishers[出版商] say the books do not provide more information than necessary. They give readers just enough information to do what they want. They say the Dummies books give the best and easiest way to do something. And the books use simple language that is easy to understand.
　　There are more than 1000 different Dummies books. A report in the New York Times newspaper says the top-selling Dummies books are those that explain technology and personal finance. Other top-selling books deal with health, like Diabetes[糖尿病] for Dummies. It was written by a doctor in San Francisco, California. There are even more Dummies books to come. The publishers say they release[发行] about 200 new Dummies books every year.省略阐述了丛书的宗旨。它指出，该丛书证明了人们可以学会做任何事情，同时也描述了该丛书是如何介绍其知识内容的。首先，丛书拿那些难以理解的概念来开玩笑。然后，它们向读者展示知识点如何有趣及简单易懂。出版商称，该丛书并没有过多地堆砌信息。它们只向读者传授足够的知识，使他们得以完成他们想做的事情。出版商还表示，《傻瓜系列》以最好且最简单的方式教会人们做好某件事，丛书的语言也非常浅显易懂。
　　现在已有超过1000多种不同的《傻瓜系列》。《纽约时报》的一份报道称，最畅销的《傻瓜系列》是那些关于科技与个人理财的书。另一类型的畅销书则与健康有关，比如《傻瓜系列之糖尿病治疗》。它是由加利福尼亚州旧金山的一位医生所写的。还有更多《傻瓜系列》丛书将要发行。出版商表示，他们每年发行大约200种全新的《傻瓜系列》。
