Travellers and phone-camera lovers need to note a new danger that has recently come to light. This new life-threatening hazard has sprung up in the past few years and is now a ubiquitous part of life. It is also proving to be twice as lethal as being killed by a shark. What is this potential new menace? Well, it is the selfie. Yes，love 'em or hate 'em, the desire to take a photo of yourself in front of a world-famous site or to strike a pose and pout with a friend has resulted in more deaths in 2015 than shark attacks. It has been reported that so far this year, 12 people have died as a result of trying to take a selfie. This compares to just six deaths due to unprovoked shark attacks.

對于游客和手機拍照達人來說，近期發(fā)生的一些安全隱患要提起你們的注意了。在過去幾年，這一隱患不斷顯現(xiàn)，如今，它在我們生活中無處不在。而它的致命性是鯊魚襲擊的兩倍。這一新隱患到底是什么？這就是自拍。不管是愛它還是恨它，不管是喜歡在世界名著前面留影紀念，還是喜歡在相機面前擺出姿勢，或是和朋友來張噘嘴照，在2015年，因自拍而死亡的案例要多過因鯊魚襲擊所死亡的人數(shù)。有報道稱，截止到今年，有12人因自拍而死亡。而因鯊魚襲擊而死亡的人數(shù)只有6人。

Selfie-related accidents can happen in all manner of circumstances. The website Wikipedia.com has detailed the twelve deaths seen this year. They include two Russian men who were killed while taking a selfie with a hand grenade; three Indian students who were killed by an oncoming train while taking selfies on train tracks; and an American woman who fell to her death while taking a selfie with her boyfriend on a cliff in South Africa. The latest death came last month when a Japanese tourist died falling down the stairs while trying to get a shot of himself at the Taj Mahal in India. There may be more. A Russian government spokeswoman told reporters that in July, there were, "dozens of selfie-related deaths" in Russia alone.

說起自拍事故，在哪里都可能發(fā)生。維基百科網(wǎng)站詳細說明了今年發(fā)生的12起死亡事件。其中包括2名俄羅斯男子，他們是在手持手雷自拍時死亡的；還有3名印度學(xué)生，當時他們正在鐵軌上自拍，火車疾馳而過；一名美國女性在南非的陽臺與男朋友自拍時不幸跌落。最近的一次死亡事件發(fā)生在上個月，一名日本游客在印度泰姬陵自拍時不幸從樓梯上跌落。或者還有很多。一名俄羅斯政府發(fā)言人對記者稱，7月份，僅僅在俄羅斯就發(fā)生了數(shù)十起自拍死亡事件。
