Hooves Sandals a hit inJapan  

'蹄形凉鞋'走红日本


Walpurgis, an Japanese online shop that seems to specialize in fantastic garments and accessories, recently startedselling wooden sandals that closely resemble cow hooves. Eventhough Hooves Sandals are not exactly cheap - 43,000 yens (about RMB2600) for each pair, the white and black versions are currently sold out. 

日本一家专营奇幻服饰的网店Walpurgis最近开始出售一款外形酷似牛蹄的木制凉鞋。虽然"蹄形凉鞋"不算便宜,每双售价4.3万日元(约合人民币2600),但目前白色和黑色织带款都已售罄。

The sandals are made up of a hoof-shaped platform and a wooden sole, and they can be fastened on to the lower leg of the wearer using colored fabric ribbon, but feature noheel support, which makes walking in them really difficult.

这款鞋由一个蹄形平台和一个木制鞋底组成,彩色织带可以将鞋子固定在穿着者的小腿上, 但因为完全没有鞋跟做支撑,所以走起路来非常困难。

 '热狗腿'照片最招人烦


Selfies and hot dog legs have been revealed as being among the most annoying Instagram travel poses around, followed by loved-up couples kissing and the can did "looking away"shot, according to a survey. 

一项调查显示,自拍和热狗腿是最招人烦的Instagram旅游拍照姿势,热恋情侣亲吻的照片和看向别处的抓拍照片也同样让人不爽。

It also found that opinions on what makes a good vacation snap vary from gender to age. Men are 20% less likely to be irritated than women by followees posting their "hot dog legs". 

其他招来恶评的摆拍姿势还包括人们"捏住"夕阳、定格跳跃瞬间和从镜头前走开。调查还发现,对于什么是好的度假照片,不同年龄和性别的人群有着不同的看法。不喜欢自己关注的人上传"热狗腿"照片的男性比女性可能要少20%

The under-24s are five times(46%) more likely to be annoyed than 45-54s (9%) when seeing pictures of kissing couples. Snappers should think more about taking shots of wonderful landmarks, with followers most likely to hit the precious "like"button, such as Iceland's famous Blue Lagoon and the Duomo di Milano cathedral in Milan.

看到情侣亲吻照片,24岁以下的人(46%)45-54岁的人(9%)更容易感到厌恶。拍照者应考虑多拍一些壮观地标,比如冰岛著名的蓝泻湖和位于米兰城的米兰大教堂,这种类型的照片最可能被关注者点赞。
