This t-shirt is every traveler’s dream 這件Ｔ恤是所有旅行者的夢想

Many of us have been in that situation when we’re abroad where we don’t know the local language well enough to convey what we want, and we resort to using gestures. Ordering a taxi by waving our arms in the air might look funny, but it may be the most effective way to achieve your goal, saving you time and patience in the process. But now there’s a much more convenient solution to this problem.
我們許多人都曾面臨這種情況，當我們在國外時無法用當地語言傳達我們想說的話，而我們就只能依靠手勢，在空中揮動我們的手來叫計程車可能會看起來很好笑，但這可能是達成你目的最有效的方法，也能節省過程中的時間和耐心，不過面對這個問題現在出現了更方便的解決方法。

’We often found ourselves in situations where we had to explain things using our arms, drawing something on a piece of paper, or even in the sand,’ say the designers of a new and extremely useful t-shirt designed for travelers. They once had the good fortune to stumble upon a list of symbols depicting basic needs and requests: sleep, food, water, access to a telephone, and so on. The idea came to them immediately: why not combine the useful with the stylish?
一個專為旅行者設計的全新且極度實用的T恤設計師表示：「我們常常會有需要透過手、在紙上畫畫甚至是在沙子上來解釋的情況。」他們幸運地偶然發現一個描繪基本需求及需要的符號清單：睡覺、食物、水、使用電話等等，他們馬上想到一個點子：為何不乾脆將實用和時尚結合在一起？

The result was something that has amazed and delighted the whole world, including us at Bright Side.
這個結果讓全世界驚艷並高興，包括Bright Side的我們。


On every t-shirt there’s an attractive print with 40 different symbols, designed to help you in any situation. For example, if you need a hotel for the night.
在每一件T恤上都印著40個引人注目的不同符號，這是設計來幫助你面對任何情況，舉例來說，如果你需要找個飯店過夜。


 Or if you want to express your displeasure at the quality of the drinking water.
或你想要表達對飲用水品質的不滿意。



You can successfully ask for a bottle opener without using a word.
你不需要講話就能成功地索取到開瓶器。



Or even buy a ticket for the boat.
或甚至是買船票。




The designers say they want to ’unite the world, and make it more accessible and pleasant for all of us.’ And their t-shirt certainly goes some way to doing the job!
設計師們表示他們想「使聯合世界這件事，對我們所有人來說是更加可行且平易近人的」，他們的T恤無疑能做到這件事！
