最近高温不断，有海滩的地方都成了很多人消暑的好去处。不过，在青岛海滩有一道独特的风景非常惹人注意，怕晒的阿姨们不但穿着长袖泳装，而且脸上还戴了面具，只露出眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴。这种面具被形象地称为“脸基尼”。

Facekini is a ski mask designed for swimmers and beachgoers which covers the head and reveals only the eyes, nose, and mouth This mask is popular in the Chinese city of Qingdao, where it is used by people for protecting themselves from UV rays while tanning and from jellyfish while at the beach.

Facekini（脸基尼，也叫尼龙防晒头套）是一种供游泳爱好者和海滩休闲人士使用的类似滑雪面具，可以覆盖整个头部，只露出眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴。这种面具在青岛很流行，人们在海滩上晒太阳的时候用它来阻挡紫外线和水母。

The mask is made of a stretchy fabric that is commonly used in bathing suits, and comes in different colors and patterns. It is often worn with an accompanying body suit with long sleeves. Facekinis are under mass production in China and are available in local swim stores near beaches. (Source: Wikipedia)

这种面具所使用的材料是用来做泳装的那种有弹性的织物，有各种颜色和图案。与其配套的通常还会有一套全身的长袖装。脸基尼现在已在中国大量生产，在当地海滩周边的游泳用品店都能买到。
