From Papal visits to the Oscars, it seems no event is now complete without a “selfie” to document the day. But the ubiquitous trend for the self-portrait photographs, taken on a smartphone at arm’s length, could now be usurped by the “dronie” – or photos taken by a drone. 从教皇出访到奥斯卡颁奖礼现场，似乎每件大事中都少不了“自拍留念”的环节。但伸长手臂用智能手机自拍的流行趋势，或将被“无人机自拍”所取代。 According to French drone manufacturer Parrot, the burgeoning popularity of the remote-controlled miniature aircraft is being fuelled by “narcissism” as people buy drones fitted with cameras in order to film themselves. 法国无人机制造厂商帕罗表示，因为“自拍党”们热衷购买装有摄像头的无人机，所以微型遥控飞机开始广为流行。 Unlike the selfie, which often results in the photograph’s subjects appearing squashed in at an awkward angle, the company claims the trend will result in high-quality footage. Drones of the future will be able to pilot themselves, following the subject around automatically, he said. 该公司表示，自拍照的主角通常看上去就从一个奇怪的角度塞进照片的，但无人机航拍会带来高质量的影像。他声称今后无人机能自动驾驶并自动跟随拍摄主体移动。 “It would be like having a full TV crew with you when you went snowboarding or mountain climbing,” Henri Seydoux, Parrot’s chief executive, told the Financial Times. |
