Chicago’s National Vegetarian Museum recently changed its name to The Vegan Museum. The museum’s board made the decision to change its name to better represent the museum to the community. The name change took effect on September 2—which would have been the 110th birthday of United Kingdom Vegan Society founder Donald Watson, who coined the term “vegan.”

美国芝加哥的国家素食博物馆（National Vegetarian Museum）最近改名为纯素食博物馆（The Vegan Museum）。该博物馆的董事会做出了修改馆名的决定，以便更好地向素食界表述本博物馆的意义。此次更名已于9月2日生效──当天恰好是英国纯素协会（The Vegan Society）创始人唐纳德·沃森（Donald Watson）的110周年诞辰；他是术语“vegan”（纯素食者/纯素食/纯素）的创造者。

“The early history of our great movement was vegetarian, the term ‘vegan’ not being coined till the 1940s. We named the museum to acknowledge vegetarian and vegan history, but as time went by we were mistakenly presumed to advocate for dairy and egg consumption,” Kay Stepkin, Founder and President of The Vegan Museum Board of Directors, told VegNews. “We have always been a vegan organization and wanted to communicate this clearly to our patrons. As our health and environmental situations become more dire, we wish to not only preserve our history but advocate for a happy and healthier planet.”

“我们伟大运动的早期历史是关于素食的，而术语‘vegan’（纯素食者/纯素食/纯素）直到1940年代才被创造出来。我们博物馆当初的命名是为了铭记素食和纯素食的历史，但是随着时间的推移，人们却误以为我们在提倡奶制品和蛋类消费，”凯·斯特金（Kay Stepkin）是纯素食博物馆的创始人兼总裁，也是该博物馆董事会的成员之一；她向VegNews网站如此表示。“我们一直都是一个纯素食组织，并且想要清楚传达这一点给我们的广大支持者。由于人类健康和环境状况日趋严重，我们希望不仅能够保护人类历史，而且倡导建设一个更健康的幸福地球。”

The Vegan Museum is a traveling exhibit that is displayed in various forms in and around Chicago. It is best known for its speaker events, book readings, film screenings, and vegan cooking demonstrations. The museum plans to explore different types of vegans and vegan philosophies in future exhibits.

纯素食博物馆目前是一个流动的展览馆，以多种形式在芝加哥市内和周边地区举行展出。其最有名的宣传教育项目包括演讲活动、读书交流会、电影放映和纯素食厨艺展示。该博物馆计划在将来展览中探讨不同类型的纯素食者和纯素理念。

In addition to the name change, The Vegan Museum has created a new Advisory Council comprising influential vegans in a variety of industries, including Neal Barnard, MD, president and founder of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine; Anne Dinshah, vice president of the American Vegan Society; and Seth Tibbott, founder of Tofurky.

除了更名之外，纯素食博物馆还新成立了一个由各行业有影响力的纯素食者组成的咨询委员会，其成员包括责任医疗医师委员会（PCRM）的总裁兼创始人尼尔·巴纳德（Neal Barnard）医学博士、美国纯素协会（American Vegan Society）副总裁安妮·丁沙（Anne Dinshah）、Tofurky（“豆腐火鸡”）公司创始人赛斯·蒂博特（Seth Tibbott）、等等。
