“手机雨伞”：雨中手机党必备

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，恰好需要发送一条紧急信息，你就会知道，一边撑伞一边编辑信息有多难。现在一款新设计问世，让你雨中打伞发信息更舒心！

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.
韩国kt设计公司创造了一种“手机雨伞”。这款雨伞的手柄设计是别致的C形，雨伞手柄就可以轻易地环绕在用户的手腕上。

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.
雨伞手柄的下半部分起平衡作用，而上半部分控制雨伞挂在手臂上。这样，用户就能腾出双手发信息、用智能手机浏览网页，而雨伞则轻靠在用户的肩膀上，为用户挡雨。

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.
据意大利工业设计网站Designboom报道，这款雨伞目前是kt设计公司面向顾客的限量版产品，意在为顾客提供“丰富的手机生活体验”。本周早些时候，这款雨伞获得了著名的德国红点设计奖（Red Dot Design Award）。

It comes in five colours: classic grey, smoky grey, blossom red, royal red and chic black.
这款雨伞推出了五种颜色：经典灰、烟灰色、桃红色、巴西红以及别致黑。

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设计公司不是第一个颠覆传统雨伞设计的。去年，一名英国人发明了一款名为Kazbrella的反向折叠雨伞。这款雨伞将雨滴收到内部，是从顶部而不是从底部打开。一名中国人发明了空气雨伞（Air Umbrella），这种雨伞能够在用户周围创造出空气“力场”，从而将雨“排开”。
