In Russia, though, death has become a troublingly common consequence of taking selfies. People are attempting to turn the lens on themselves in situations so extreme that the act has cost a number of them their lives. Troubled by the growing number of selfie-related injuries and casualties, the Russian Interior Ministry recently held a press conference during which it issued guides on how to take a “Safe Selfie.” 在俄罗斯，由自拍而引起的死亡屡见不鲜，相当恼人。越来越多的人试着在极端情况下把镜头瞄准自己，不少人因此殒命。因自拍而引发的伤亡事故与日俱增，俄罗斯内政部为此饱受困扰，近日，内政部组织了资讯发布会，席间发布了“自拍指南”。 “When a person is trying to take a picture of himself, his attention is scattered, he loses balance, he does not look around, and does not feel in danger,” the Ministry’s website states in Russian. “Do a selfie, making sure that you are in a safe place and your life is not in danger!” “一个人自拍的时候，注意力是分散的，会失去平衡，不会环顾四周，不会意识到危险”，俄罗斯内政部网站上如是陈述道. "自拍时，请确保你身处安全之所，生命不受威胁。” The government guide, aimed at young people, is an unintentionally hilarious visual aid that cautions against the desire to capture the most unique selfie. Red prohibition signs illustrate some of the real stunts Russians have pulled, as well as some truly inane, made-up ones, such as posing with a wild cat and hanging off a roof from a television antenna. Each is followed by a short warning, and the guide also includes summaries of the real-life casualties for emphasis. |
