If you've ever been caught in the rain and needed to send an urgent text, you’ll know it can be difficult to compose a message while keeping your umbrella steady. Now there's a new design intended to make life easier for people to stay in touch in a downpour.
碰上下雨，恰好需要發(fā)送一條緊急信息，你就會知道，一邊撐傘一邊編輯信息有多難。現(xiàn)在一款新設計問世，讓你雨中打傘發(fā)信息更舒心！

South Korean company kt design has come up with a 'phone-brella' that has a specially designed C-shaped handle that easily loops over a user's wrist.
韓國kt設計公司創(chuàng)造了一種“手機雨傘”。這款雨傘的手柄設計是別致的C形，雨傘手柄就可以輕易地環(huán)繞在用戶的手腕上。

The bottom half of the handle acts as a counter-weight, while the top keeps the umbrella hooked around the arm. This leaves a user's hands free to text or browse the web on a smartphone, while the umbrella leans against their body and keeps them dry.
雨傘手柄的下半部分起平衡作用，而上半部分控制雨傘掛在手臂上。這樣，用戶就能騰出雙手發(fā)信息、用智能手機瀏覽網(wǎng)頁，而雨傘則輕靠在用戶的肩膀上，為用戶擋雨。

The umbrella is a limited-edition gift for kt customers that claims to provide 'a rich mobile life experience,' Designboom reported. The umbrella scooped a prestigious Red Dot Design Award earlier this week.
據(jù)意大利工業(yè)設計網(wǎng)站Designboom報道，這款雨傘目前是kt設計公司面向顧客的限量版產(chǎn)品，意在為顧客提供“豐富的手機生活體驗”。本周早些時候，這款雨傘獲得了著名的德國紅點設計獎（Red Dot Design Award）。

It comes in five colours: classic grey, smoky grey, blossom red, royal red and chic black.
這款雨傘推出了五種顏色：經(jīng)典灰、煙灰色、桃紅色、巴西紅以及別致黑。

Kt design is not the first to tinker with the classic umbrella design. Last year, a British inventor unveiled an upside-down design called the Kazbrella which collects drips inside and opens from the top rather than the bottom. A Chinese inventor came up with the Air Umbrella, which creates a 'force field' of air around a user to deflect rain.
Kt設計公司不是第一個顛覆傳統(tǒng)雨傘設計的。去年，一名英國人發(fā)明了一款名為Kazbrella的反向折疊雨傘。這款雨傘將雨滴收到內(nèi)部，是從頂部而不是從底部打開。一名中國人發(fā)明了空氣雨傘（Air Umbrella），這種雨傘能夠在用戶周圍創(chuàng)造出空氣“力場”，從而將雨“排開”。
