New fashion trend sweeps the world's beaches
防曬神器“臉基尼”走紅全球
The summer sun is here! Have you prepared yourself with the necessary protection?
夏日艷陽高照，你準備好必備的防曬了嗎？
Hats, umbrellas, sunscreen and of course sunglasses. They are all must-haves. But why not try a facekini, or face-bikini – a piece of spandex covering your head with tiny nose and mouth holes. Does this sound like something you'd wear?
遮陽帽、遮陽傘、防曬霜，當然還有墨鏡都是必備品。但為何不試下“臉基尼”呢？這是一款口鼻部位有透氣小孔的伸縮尼龍頭套。聽起來是你的菜嗎？
The facekini was first designed by Zhang Shifan in 2004. The mask originally was used as a diving hood, which protects users from the sun, insect, and jellyfish. Slowly, however, it has become a global summer trend.
臉基尼由張式范于2004年首創。這款面罩原本是潛水頭罩，用于阻擋陽光、昆蟲叮咬以及水母蜇傷。但漸漸地，它成為了全球的夏日潮流。
US-based CR Fashion Book recently released a set of images featuring swimsuit models in facekinis with different colors and patterns. An interviewer told the LA Times: "It's very fashionable and like a work of art."
美國時尚雜志《CR Fashion Book》近期發布了一組泳裝模特們戴著不同顏色和款式的臉基尼的大片。一位受訪者在接受《洛杉磯時報》采訪時表示：“臉基尼很時尚，就像是一件藝術品。”
Indeed, the facekini is no passing trend, but a way of life for many.
的確，臉基尼絕非一時的潮流，而是許多人的一種生活方式。
To avoid the sun, people take different measures. Some carry UV-blocking umbrellas or wear mirrored visors that cover over the face. Others choose facekinis.
人們會用不同的方法來防曬。一些人會打能夠阻擋紫外線的遮陽傘，或者戴上能夠遮擋面部的偏光遮陽帽。還有一些人選擇了臉基尼。
Facekinis can feature many interesting designs and bright colors. They even have large animal prints of giant pandas and Siberian tigers to raise awareness of endangered animals.
臉基尼有不少有趣的設計和艷麗的顏色，甚至還會印上大熊貓和東北虎的動物印花，提高人們保護瀕危動物的意識。
Some designs also include traditional Chinese embroidery animals, including dragons, peacocks and phoenix.
一些設計還包含了中華傳統刺繡動物，如龍、孔雀、鳳凰等。
Furthermore, the newer versions are longer and can protect both your head and upper body from sunshine. They are known as body-kinis.
除此之外，現在的新款變得更長了，能夠為頭部和上半身防曬。這種新款被稱為“體基尼”。
So next time, when you see a strange "sea monster" walk on the beach, watch out, it could be a person wearing a body-kini.
因此，下次當你在沙灘上看到一個行走的詭異“海怪”時，可得看仔細了，那可能是一個穿著“體基尼”的人。
Zhang told the Global Times that she wanted her facekinis to "promote good global cultures".
張式范在接受《環球時報》采訪時表示，她想用臉基尼來“推廣優秀的全球文化”。
