自恋在2020年依然盛行，即使人们为了得到关注而将自己的生命置于危险之中。

A new survey found that 41 percent of us have already risked our safety in pursuit of a selfie, while more than half of us would stand on the edge of a cliff for that ideal photo.

This latest study comes seven months after research proved that selfies gone wrong — frequently dubbed selficides — account for more deaths than shark attacks.

这项最新研究是在研究证明出问题的自拍——通常被称为“自拍狂”——导致的死亡人数比鲨鱼袭击要多7个月之后发布的。

Last summer, the Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care in India found that 259 people worldwide died in 137 selfie-related accidents between 2011 and 2017, compared to just 50 people killed by sharks.

去年夏天，《印度家庭医学和初级保健杂志》(Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care in India)发现，2011年至2017年期间，全球有259人死于与自拍相关的事故，而死于鲨鱼的只有50人。

While 259 deaths over a seven-year period may not sound excessive, selfie-related fatalities are on the rise. In 2011, there were only three, but by 2017, the number had shot up to 93.

虽然7年期间259人死亡听起来并不过分，但与自拍相关的死亡人数正在上升。2011年，只有3家，但到2017年，这个数字飙升至93家。
