自拍是一般人最喜欢的一种消遣方法,而现在有一种提高自拍成效的新利器正飞速成为大家大伙生活的一部分。它就是selfie stick(自拍杆)。
A selfie stick is a monopod used to take selfie photographs by positioning a smartphone or camera beyond the normal range of the arm. The metal sticks are typically extensible, with a handle on one end and an adjustable clamp on the other end to hold a phone in place.
自拍杆是一种可以与智能手机或相机相连,远距离拍摄自拍照的单脚架。自拍杆的金属杆部分可以伸长,一端配有手柄,另一端配有可调夹头,用来在适合的地方固定手机。
Some have remote or Bluetooth controls, letting the user decide when to take the picture. The product was listed in Time magazine’s 25 best inventions of 2014.
一些自拍杆用远程或蓝牙遥控,让用户可以自己决定何时拍摄照片。自拍杆位列《年代》杂志2014年度25大最好创造榜单。
The selfie stick is an essential carry-on item for many travellers. On departure, people took selfies. On the plane there were selfies at 32,000 meters. In most cases, the appeal seems to be simply fitting more people into the frame.
自拍杆现在已成为海量旅游者的必须具备利器。无论是出发时,还是在三万两千米的高空上,大家都爱自拍。不少状况下,大家用自拍杆只不过想让镜头塞下更多的人。
