涂抹防晒霜本是一件耗时的麻烦事儿,但是有了机器的帮助,这件事就变得尤为简单。美国一家公司发明了一台名为SnappyScreen的喷雾设备,用户可以在触摸屏上选择防晒指数和身高。短短10秒钟防晒霜就喷好。

Applying sunscreen can be a messy and time-consuming pursuit.

涂抹防晒霜常常费事又费时。

But thanks to a cunning device, getting ready for the beach has been made much simpler.

但有了这个巧妙的新发明,去海滩前涂防晒霜就简单多了。

SnappyScreen, which was the brainchild of New York-based Kristen McClellan, is a booth with nozzles that spray holidaymakers in just ten seconds from head to toe.

这款自动防晒喷雾机名为SnappyScreen,由纽约的克里斯汀-麦克莱伦打造。游客站在这个小亭子里,仅需10秒钟全身上下就可以被喷上防晒喷雾。

A YouTube video shows how users use a touch screen to select their height range and which SPF they would like to apply, with 15, 30 and 40 factors on offer.

油管一段视频显示,游客可使用触摸屏选择身高,并选用防晒系数为15、30或40的防晒喷雾。

Once inside the booth, a platform the user stands on revolves so they get a 360-degree exposure to the cream.

游客所站立的平台还可以360度旋转,因此防晒喷雾可覆盖全身。

The booths come with disposable glasses to protect the eyes.

该设备还为游客提供一次性眼镜,在喷涂防晒霜时可用来保护眼睛。

McClellan came up with the idea for SnappyScreen after she had grown tired of trying to apply sunscreen over her entire body before a day in the sun. She managed to raise $400,000 from investors.

麦克莱伦早已厌烦了在夏日外出前全身涂抹防晒霜,于是想出了SnappyScreen自动防晒喷雾机的创意。她已经拿到了40万美元的投资(约合272万元人民币)。

She took her idea to product design company R&R Associates, which saw great potential in SnappyScreen and designers went about bringing McClellan’s idea to life.

她向R&R联合产品设计公司介绍了SnappyScreen,这家公司认为这款产品有巨大的潜力,设计师着手将她的创意变成现实。

It was originally tested at the Atlantis Resort and Hotel in the Bahamas, before being rolled out to other venues.

最初,这款产品在巴哈马群岛的亚特兰蒂斯度假村酒店进行了测试,之后向其他场所全面铺开。

Hotels and resorts that purchase SnappyScreen booths will usually place them by their pools or beach entrances.

购买SnappyScreen产品的酒店和度假村通常会将其安装在泳池或海滩入口旁。

They issue cards, much like credit-cards, that can be loaded with a certain amount of SnappyScreen credits.

他们给客人发放形似信用卡的卡片,里面预存了一定数量的产品使用积分。

A person using a booth can swipe their SnappyScreen card before selecting their desired process. They then have seven seconds to step into the booth before the nozzles disperse the sunscreen.

在选择想使用的喷洒程序前,使用者需要先刷卡。之后他们有7秒钟的时间站进亭子,喷嘴就开始喷洒防晒喷雾了。

SnappyScreen makes the most of its profits by selling the cartridges of sunscreen that go inside the machine.

SnappyScreen大部分的利润来自于出售安装在机器中的防晒喷雾盒。

Hotels buy the machines at cost and then buy the four-gallon sunscreen refills in bundles sold by McClellan’s company.

酒店以成本价购买喷雾机后,还需要购买一些该公司出售的防晒喷雾补充装,每瓶4加仑。

She previously explained to CNBC that they think of the cartridges as the ‘Keurig cup of sunscreens’.

麦克莱伦之前向美国全国广播公司财经频道解释说,他们认为防晒喷雾盒是“防晒霜界的绿山咖啡”。

But McClellan is not out to just make money. A portion of SnappyScreen’s profits are donated to programs that educate in the prevention and protection against skin cancer.

但麦克莱伦并不是只关注赚钱。她将这款产品的部分利润捐赠给了防护皮肤癌的教育项目。

The American Cancer Society estimates that there are 3.5 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer in the US each year. McClellan believes that SnappyScreen can help to lower that number.

美国癌症协会估计,美国每年有350万人患上非黑素性皮肤癌。麦克莱伦相信这款产品能帮助减少患病人数。
