这款特殊的“口红”关键时刻能救命!

2018-07-07来源:和谐英语

韩国SK电讯日前推出一款物联网自卫设备,其外观与口红类似,可轻松携带,也可作为项链佩戴。一旦用户遭遇紧急情况,拔出“口红”,设备会发出90分贝高音警报,同时向警方发送求助短信,并可以在接下来的三分钟内录音。它还可以把用户位置发送给最多5名指定联系人。

Walking on the streets or taking a cab at night by oneself can be risky, and usually, young women are the most vulnerable at that time. That's why there are all sorts of self-defense objects out there – varying from pepper spray to tactical knives – for female buyers.

夜晚独自在街上行走或乘坐出租车可能会遇到危险,年轻女性在这种时候最容易受到侵害。这就是辣椒喷雾、战术刀等各种各样针对女性消费者的自卫设备存在的原因。

Maybe you don't have any of them. A knife or a taser can be too obvious and could very likely hurt the user if misused.

这些自卫用品你可能都没有。刀具和电击枪都太显眼,而且一旦使用不当很可能误伤自己。

If that's the case, you might want to take a look at this "lipstick".

如果是这种情况,你或许会对这只“口红”感兴趣。

The smart gadget is eight centimeters (cm) long and has a diameter of 0.8cm. It was released under the name "My Hero" by the S. Korean telecommunications operator, SK Telecom, and while it looks exactly like a lipstick on the outside, it definitely isn't designed for makeup.

这款智能小工具名为“My Hero(我的英雄)”,长8厘米,直径为0.8厘米,由韩国电信运营商SK电讯发布。虽然它的外观看起来和一管口红完全一样,但它绝对不是用来化妆的。

When you take off the cap, it will immediately send out an alarm of 90 decibels (dB) and also send a message to the police. SK Telecom also claimed the device can report the user's location to five previously installed emergency contacts.

当你取下“口红盖”时,“My Hero”就会立即发出90分贝的警报,并且向警方发送信息。SK电讯还声称,该设备可以向5个提前设置的紧急联系人报告用户位置。

Moreover, the "lipstick" can work as a recorder for three minutes after it’s triggered. This function allows it to collect evidence that can be used by the authorities at a later date.

此外,这款“口红”在被激活后还可以录音3分钟。这一功能可用于收集证据,以便日后被执法部门采纳。

SK Telecom released the product on Thursday for 25,000 won and believes that the highly portable, inconspicuous device will do well on the market.

SK电讯在7月5日推出了这款售价25000韩元(约合人民币148元)的产品,该公司认为,这款便携度高、隐蔽性好的自卫“口红”将有良好市场表现。
