美国老爸用无人机护送女儿上学

A Tennessee father who used a drone to watch his 8-year-old daughter as she walked to school alone said he wants her to know "dad is always watching."
（美国）田纳西州一位父亲用无人机“陪伴”8岁的女儿上学。他表示，要让女儿知道“爸爸一直在看着她”。

Chris Early, who owns a Knoxville video production company, said the camera drone he bought about a month ago came in handy when his 8-year-old daughter, Katie, insisted on walking to school by herself.
克里斯·厄尔利在诺克斯维尔市经营一家视频制作公司。他说，一个月前，他买了这架摄像无人机，而最近他8岁的女儿凯蒂坚持要自己步行去上学，这架飞行器正好派上用场了。

"She said 'you're not going to come watch me', but I had another idea," Early told WVLT-TV.
厄尔利对当地的电视台说：“她说‘你不要来跟着我’，但是我自有办法。”

He said the drone turned plenty of heads upward when he used it to follow Katie on her walk.
他表示，当他派无人机跟随步行的凯蒂的时候，很多人纷纷抬头观看。

"I could see other people looking up and I'm sure Katie was just like aw it's my dad," he said. "It was a way to keep eye on her make sure she was looking both ways. I let her know that dad is always watching."
“我知道其他人都在向上看，我敢肯定，凯蒂一定在想，‘哎，爸爸就是这样子’，”他说。“这是一种照看她的方式，以保证她走路要小心。我想让她知道，爸爸一直在看着她。”

Katie said she was not expecting the drone to follow her.
凯蒂表示她原本并不知道有无人机跟着她。

"I was like oh wow! He didn't tell me so I was pretty surprised," she said.
她说：“我的反应就是‘哦！哇！’因为他之前没告诉我这件事，所以我感到非常惊讶。”
