Icon Speak T-shirt will make travelling SO much easier
分享到
Now you can travel anywhere and be able to communicate - genius!
現(xiàn)在你可以走遍世界溝通無(wú)憂了——太有才了!
The new IconSpeak Global communication tee is SO simple we can't quite believe it didn't exist before now.
這種最新的“用標(biāo)識(shí)溝通全球”交流T恤看起來(lái)如此簡(jiǎn)單,以至于你會(huì)驚嘆為什么大家之前都沒發(fā)現(xiàn)這招。
Think about it: how easy would it be if you were on holiday in a foreign country and were just able to point to a symbol explaining the message you intend to get across, without uttering a word of failed language?
想象一下:你到國(guó)外度假,想要表達(dá)什么信息時(shí),只要指一下T恤上對(duì)應(yīng)的標(biāo)識(shí)就可以了,少了語(yǔ)言不通的煩惱,是不是很爽?
For example, wouldn't it be helpful to know how to find the nearest toilet, where the airport is, what the time is and where is the best restaurant to grab a bite to eat without having to reach for your phrase book every time?
比如,想要知道最近的廁所在哪兒、機(jī)場(chǎng)怎么走、現(xiàn)在幾點(diǎn)了、附近有沒有不錯(cuò)的餐廳……再也不用一遍遍翻出詞匯小本了,統(tǒng)統(tǒng)信手拈來(lái)有木有?
Thanks to this ingenious T-shirt, all you need to do is point to the symbol that best represents your problem and hope that you can understand the gist of what the person is saying back to you.
有了這款創(chuàng)意T恤,你只要指一指上面最能代表你問(wèn)題的標(biāo)識(shí),并搞懂對(duì)方跟你說(shuō)的主要意思即可。
Swiss friends George, Steven and Florian who are behind the brand explain on their website: "In the furthest and deepest corners of our world we were repeatedly left with no words, due to our lacking linguistic talents.
三位瑞士小伙伴——喬治、史蒂芬和弗洛萊恩——是這種T恤的發(fā)明者。他們?cè)谧约旱木W(wǎng)站上表示:“因?yàn)椴欢?dāng)?shù)卣Z(yǔ)言,我們經(jīng)常會(huì)在世界最遠(yuǎn)最深的某個(gè)角落失語(yǔ)?!?/p>
"Such situations got us thinking about how to bridge language barriers with utmost simplicity, on a global level. The answer came to us after a remarkable experience in the depths of Vietnamese backcountry. Because with ICONs, you can SPEAK, you can SPEAK to the world."
“于是我們就想,怎樣用最簡(jiǎn)單的方式來(lái)掃除這種語(yǔ)言障礙,而且全球適用。當(dāng)我們?cè)谠侥掀h(yuǎn)地區(qū)經(jīng)歷了一次不同凡響之旅后,我們終于找到了答案。有了標(biāo)識(shí),你就可以說(shuō)話了,你可以跟整個(gè)世界對(duì)話了?!?/p>
Of course, the T-shirts don't exactly help you if you want to try and learn the language, nor will they make your travelling pictures look great if you're wearing the same outfit every day - but there will surely be benefits along the way.
當(dāng)然,如果你想試著學(xué)一下當(dāng)?shù)卣Z(yǔ)言的話,這款T恤肯定幫不了你。而且因?yàn)槟阋刻齑┩患恤,你的旅游照片也會(huì)看起來(lái)不那么多彩——但它對(duì)你的旅行有幫助是一定的。
