充滿“魔性”的西瓜裙最近在社交媒體風靡。人們把西瓜切成裙子的形狀，利用巧妙的角度拍攝身穿西瓜裙的照片，并上傳到網上。這個夏天，穿上一件西瓜裙也可以美美噠。看上去是不是還挺涼快的？

Less painful than the ice bucket challenge and more flattering than the no make-up selfie, the watermelon dress is the latest photo craze to hit social media.
沒有冰桶挑戰那么痛苦，比素顏自拍更討人喜歡，西瓜裙最近在社交媒體掀起新的曬照風潮。

All you need to partake is a watermelon, a cutting utensil and a cheery pose - assuming you already have the phone and the Instagram account.
你分享照片所需要的只是一片西瓜，一把切西瓜的刀具，和一個愉快的造型，前提是你已經有了手機和Ins賬戶。

Fans of the #watermelondress hashtag have been showing off their handiwork, carving couture frocks out of the green and red tropical fruit. And thanks to a little perspective, the illusion somehow works.
#西瓜裙主題標簽的粉絲們在網上曬出他們的手工作品，他們用西瓜切出裙子的形狀，借助視覺角度，讓照片顯示出錯覺效果。

How does it work? Simple...the person charged with taking the photo simply holds the tiny juicy dress - cut from the skin and flesh of the fruit - close to the lens to create the illusion that the person in the background is wearing it.
這是如何做到的呢？很簡單……拍照者簡單地用手拿著小片的從瓜皮和瓜瓤中切下的西瓜裙，讓它距離鏡頭近一些，看起來背景中的人物就好像穿著西瓜裙一樣。

There are snaps of babies gurgling in what looks like a pink smock, men wearing full A-line skirts and ladies looking lovely in off-the-shoulder numbers.
網上曬出的照片中，有的嬰兒就好像穿著一件粉罩衫，有的男性就好像穿了一件A字裙，還有的女性穿上露肩西瓜裙看上去美美的。

The genius of the watermelon dress appears to be the fact that the fruit's green skin makes a perfect hemline, and the easily-cut flesh can be shaped as you desire, with sharp lines and soft edges both popular.
西瓜裙的奧妙在于，綠色的瓜皮可以作為完美的裙邊，而且瓜瓤很容易切成任何你想要的形狀，硬朗的線條和柔和的曲線都很流行。

It isn't clear where exactly the trend began but it looks set to be the must-have snap of the summer, which is likely to be music to the ears of greengrocers everywhere.
西瓜裙何時開始風靡起來尚不得而知，但似乎將成為這個夏天的必備曬照樣式，這對各地的蔬菜水果商販來說可真是個好消息。
