'Sellotape selfies' are popping up all over Facebook, where thousands of people have been wrapping clear tape around their face to make themselves look like grotesque ogres.
“膠帶纏臉自拍”在Facebook上幾近風靡，上千名參與者在自己的臉上纏上透明膠帶，把自己打扮成面目猙獰的食人魔。
They then upload their bizarre picture to Facebook and nominate a friend to take part in the challenge as well.
參與者們在Facebook上傳這些奇特的圖片，并指定自己的一個朋友參與到這項挑戰中來。
The craze, which was launched on Wednesday, quickly went viral with more than 50,000 people liking the Sellotape selfie page in the first 24 hours.
自周三活動開始，短短24小時之內這些纏有透明膠帶的瘋狂自拍照就吸引了5萬多名粉絲，大家爭相點贊。
It was dreamed up by Lizzie Durley, 21, who is studying international event management at Brighton University.
英國布萊頓大學21歲的大學生莉齊發起了這項瘋狂活動，她目前在布萊頓大學攻讀國際項目管理專業。
'I got the idea from Jim Carrey's office scene in Yes Man,' she says.
莉齊稱自己的靈感來自于電影《好好先生》中金·凱瑞在辦公室里的一幕。
'I was having a bad day and remembered that scene from the film which really tickled me. I figured people were getting bored of the whole 'selfie' craze - I know I was. So I just applied the concepts of the selfie to this idea and it resulted in Sellotape selfies!'
莉齊說道：“那天我心情很糟，但是想起電影里的那一幕之后忍不住發笑。我覺得大家對普通的自拍已經厭倦了，至少我就是這樣。所以我就想到了把自拍和電影場景結合，膠帶自拍就這么應運而生了。”
Miss Durley presented the idea to her friends who shared it online.
莉齊把這個想法告訴了自己的朋友，他們就發布到了網上。
'The concept is applicable to literally anyone, everyone can join in, there's no risk of offence, and people just love to have a giggle.So it blew up on Facebook.'
“這樣的活動任何人都可以參加，無需擔心會冒犯他人，而只為博得一笑，所以才會在Facebook上受到熱捧。”
Miss Durley says her 'goal' was 3,000 followers on the Facebook page.
莉齊說她當初的目標是吸引3000人參與。
'I thought even that was adventurous,' she says.'But five hours later it was on about 18,000 and by the evening, at which point we couldn't really believe how popular it was, it was at 50,000.'
“一開始我以為那個目標都不會達到，但是5小時之后就成功吸引了18000人，那天晚上人數達到5萬后，我簡直都不敢相信。”
Miss Durley is now being bombarded with pictures from around the country of fans' own Sellotape selfies.
現在，莉齊收到了大量來自全國粉絲的臉纏膠帶照自拍。
She said: ‘Last night (Wednesday) I couldn't move from my laptop because the page was just going crazy and I had to keep up with it all!’
莉齊說：“昨天（周三）晚上，我一直沒離開過筆記本電腦，貼照片的頁面一直需要更新！”
