   2009年的一部3D大片《阿凡达》让很多人都记住了avatar这个词。在网络上搜索这个词,出来的结果大部分也都跟这部电影有关。其实,avatar并不是导演造的一个词,它在印度教中指“圣人的化身”。到了网络无处不在的今天,avatar又有了一个新的意思——个人头像。


  An avatar is the graphical representation of the user or the user's alter ego 1 or character. It may take either a three-dimensional form, as in games or virtual worlds, or a two-dimensional form as an icon 2 in Internet forums 3 and other online communities. It is an object representing the user.
  Avatar指能够代表用户个人或其性格的一个图像,即我们常说的“头像”或“个人秀”。这个头像可以是网络游戏或者虚拟世界里三维立体的图像,也可以是网络论坛或社区里常用的二维平面图像。它是可以代表用户本人的一个标志物。
  The use of the term avatar for the on-screen representation of the user was coined in 1985 by Chip Morningstar and Joseph Romero in designing LucasFilm's online role-playing game Habitat, coming from the term’s original meaning of “a descent of the Supreme 4 Being” in Hinduism, translated as " incarnation " or "manifestation 5" in English.
  最先用avatar这个词来指代用户网络形象的是切普?莫宁斯塔和约瑟夫?罗梅罗,他们在1985年为卢卡斯影视公司设计网络角色扮演游戏时使用了这个词,取自于avatar这个词在印度教中的原始意思“圣人降临”,也就是“化身”或者“代表”的意思。
