Selfie(自拍)被牛津字典選為2013年年度詞匯,與此同時(shí),社交媒體上與之相關(guān)的各類(lèi)自拍照也層出不窮,如,腿部自拍、頭發(fā)自拍、書(shū)架自拍等。你都試過(guò)哪些自拍?
A legsie is a photo, usually taken on your mobile phone, that you take by tucking the device under your chin and pointing it towards your outstretched legs whilst relaxing. The legsie has two key facets: first, the legs themselves, their bronzed aura hopefully publicizing the sunny climes and gorgeous warm temperatures you're currently enjoying, and second, the view beyond those legs, typically a beach or sun-kissed swimming pool. Though it might seem odd to circulate a photo featuring legs unattached to torso and head, the whole point about the legsie is that it gives an opportunity for the viewer to share the sender's point of view, a way of saying, 'This is what I'm looking at as I sit here enjoying myself …' in true 'Wish You Were Here' style.
Legsie指度假放松時(shí)將手機(jī)放在下巴以下、對(duì)著向前伸出的雙腿拍出的照片,即“腿部自拍”。這種自拍有兩個(gè)側(cè)重點(diǎn),一是腿本身,古銅色的皮膚告訴大家你正在享受這陽(yáng)光溫暖的天氣;二是腿部以外的風(fēng)景,大概是海灘或者陽(yáng)光下的泳池之類(lèi)的。在社交媒體上發(fā)布一張不帶上身和頭部的腿部自拍照或許有點(diǎn)奇怪,不過(guò),曬這種照片的出發(fā)點(diǎn)在于讓看到照片的人明白自拍者的想要傳遞的信息,比如,“這就是我坐在這里看到的”,“真希望你也在這里”之類(lèi)的。
Like it or loathe it, there's no doubt that the concept of self-portraiture has really captured the imagination of social media lovers. The legsie is just one among an ever-expanding set of variations on the theme, which include the belfie (bum/butt + selfie, a shot of the posterior), helfie (hair + selfie, a shot of your hair), welfie (workout + selfie, a self-portrait of someone exercising) , drelfie (a selfie taken while drunk) and, arguably the most curious of all, the shelfie or bookshelfie (a shot of a person's bookshelves identifying their favorite reads, either with or without the reader).

無(wú)論你喜歡與否,自拍概念無(wú)疑吸引了社交媒體愛(ài)好者的所有想象力。腿部自拍(legsie)只是這個(gè)無(wú)限擴(kuò)大的主題圈中的一類(lèi),其他的還有belfie(臀部自拍)、helfie(頭發(fā)自拍)、welfie(鍛煉自拍)、drefie(喝醉自拍)以及最具爭(zhēng)議的shelfie(書(shū)架自拍)。
