我们许多人都爱找各种机会在社交媒体上分享自拍照,以向暧昧对象传递暗示信息。
But very few of us would be prepared to admit thehidden agenda in our snaps.
但很少有人会勇敢承认自己发自拍时,葫芦里究竟卖的什么药。
However, model Holly Carpenter, 23, from Dublin,has decided to address the subject head-on byrevealing the secret meaning behind women's Snapchat photos.
然而,来自都柏林的23岁女模Holly Carpenter决定来点直接的,她在网络上揭示了女生发自拍的真正意义。
Holly, who was the winner of Miss Ireland in 2011 and has since enjoyed a successful modellingcareer, has posted a series of images on her blog, with two pictures side by side - the one onthe left with the original caption, and the caption on the right explaining what women reallymean.
Holly曾于2011年获得爱尔兰小姐冠军,模特事业从此顺风顺水。她近日在博客上传了一系列左右对比照,左边为发送在社交网站的原话,右边则是发照片时真正的意图。
For example in one snap the model shares a photograph of herself posing in a onesie with adog with the caption: 'Pjs & puppy cuddles' which she reveals actually means 'look howcute I am.'
例如,有一张她穿着连体衫抱着狗的照片,配的原话是:“睡衣,小狗抱抱”,而她的实际意思是“快看我有多可爱!”
In another photo, Holly poses in a revealing vest with the caption: 'So hungover' which shethen confesses in the caption on the photo on the right means: 'Cleavage game is stronghere...'
在另一张照片里,她穿着一件比较暴露的背心,配的描述是:“宿醉好难受”,但她承认自己其实想表达的是:“此处有乳沟……”
Holly says that she was inspired to create the blog post after witnessing other women creatingtactical Snapchats.
Holly表示,她是在目睹了其他女性的“战略性自拍”后才萌发了创作这篇博文的想法。
She told Buzzfeed that she had heard comments like: 'I'm gonna story this selfie so he knowsI'm out tonight and I'm looking well' and 'I sent him a picture of my drink with the cocktail menuin the background so he knows where we are!'
她说,她曾听到类似的言论:“我要给这张自拍编个故事,这样他就知道我今晚打扮的漂漂亮亮去参加活动了。”以及“我给他发了一张我喝酒的照片,背景里有鸡尾酒菜单,这样他就知道我们在哪了。”
But the model admits that she is not exempt from sending flirtatious snaps.
不过她坦言,自己也不例外,也会发自拍照来和别人调情。
She continued: 'If I'm having a good hair day and my make-up looks nice I'll find any randomexcuse to send a snap to someone I fancy, like pick up a random coffee mug and write "mmmcoffee" …even though the mug is empty!'
她继续说:“如果我今天发型不错,妆容也很美,那我会随便编个理由发自拍照给我喜欢的人,比如随便拿个咖啡杯拍一张,写一句‘嗯,咖啡’,但其实杯子是空的!”
The post has picked a lot of hits for Holly being shared almost 4,000 times on Facebook and themodel says that she believes this is because most women will be able to relate.
她的这篇博客给她增添了不少人气,在Facebook上已有4000多次转发。她说,这些转发肯定是因为女士们都觉得被看穿了。
She added: 'When I saw how many shares it was getting and how many people were taggingtheir friends, I knew it was relatable!'
她接着说:“看到这么多人转发给朋友看,我就知道大家都被说中了!”
