When 24-year-old Bhanu Prakash, from Hyderabad, India, realised that his job was eating into his precious selfie-time, he decided to quit working altogether. He now spends all his time taking pictures of himself, and training to break the world record for most selfies in an hour. The record currently belongs to American football player Patrick Peterson, who managed to click himself 1,449 times! 来自印度海得拉巴的24岁男孩巴努·普拉卡什觉得工作占用了自己宝贵的自拍时间,于是他决定辞掉工作。现在他整天忙着给自己拍照片,并努力练习一小时内完成最多自拍,打破世界纪录。目前,这项世界纪录的保持者是一位美国的足球运动员——帕特里克·彼得森,他每小时能自拍1449次! Bhanu, who studied pharmacy in college, was working as a research assistant at a hospital in Hyderabad. He was already into the selfie trend big time, ever since his brother got him a smartphone with a front-facing camera, three years ago. “Almost the first thing I did when I got the phone in my hands was click a picture,” he recalled. 巴努在大学里学习药剂学, 毕业后在海得拉巴的一家医院做助理研究员。三年前他的哥哥送给他一部带有前置摄像头的智能手机后,他便陷入了自拍的大潮流中不可自拔。“当我拿到那部手机时,做的第一件事就是拍照片。”他回忆道。 But his obsession reached new heights in May this year, when he overheard a conversation between a few kids on a bus – they were talking about Dwayne Johnson’s feat of clicking 105 selfies in three minutes. |
