Here’s a thing that’s quickly becoming a part of our shared reality: human beings — normal, red-blooded, humans, many of them god-fearing — have embraced a new tool of self-expression, designed to enhance our fragile planet’s favorite past-time. It’s called the “selfie stick” and people are going absolutely crazy over it. 自拍是普通人最喜欢的一种消遣方式，而目前有一种提升自拍效果的新神器正迅速成为我们大家生活的一部分。它就是 “自拍杆”，人们简直为它而疯狂。 You’ve probably noticed a few of these new type of photos popping up in your Instagram feed. Much like a selfie, the composition is generally of one or more people mugging for their phone’s front-facing camera, only this time these photos are different, taking on what I can only describe as a more dramatic, almost fish-eye quality. Like crossing a photo trend with a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew, the result adds a certain level of X-TREME™ to what is, most likely, an otherwise mundane photo. In some cases, it turns an impressive picture into a stunning image. 也许你在刷Instagram的时候已经看到过一些这样的新式照片。自拍照通常是一两个人挤到手机前置摄像头前摆表情扮鬼脸，这些照片也差不多，只不过它们的品质更高，几乎可以与鱼眼镜头的拍摄效果媲美。就像是给自拍开了外挂一样，一幅可能很一般的照片一下子就有了质的飞跃，而本来已不错的照片有时就成了神级照片。 |
