Their phone's lockscreen wallpaper
他们的手机锁屏图片。

When you get to see someone's lockscreen, you're seeing something this person wants to be reminded of everyday. Something that they would like to look at even before unlocking their phone. It is like a window to their soul.
当你看到某人的锁屏图片时，你看到的是这个人希望每天都能记起的东西，是ta希望在给手机解锁之前就能看到的东西，这就仿佛是他们灵魂的窗户。

Their wallpaper may be of their pet, selfie, parents, children, partner, current car/dream car, favorite actor/singer/sportsperson, favorite Bible verse, a beautiful scenery or even the default wallpaper.
他们的壁纸可能是他们的宠物、自拍、父母、孩子、配偶、现有的车/想要的车、最喜欢的演员/歌手/运动员、最喜欢的《圣经》章节、一张漂亮的风景照甚至是系统默认壁纸。

As a die hard cricket fan, my lockscreen has a picture of AB de Villiers (South African cricketer) at a press conference.
作为板球运动的死忠粉，我的锁屏是德维里尔斯在记者招待会上的一张照片（他是个南美板球运动员）。
