Now you can travel anywhere and be able to communicate - genius!
現(xiàn)在你可以走遍世界溝通無憂了——太有才了！

The new IconSpeak Global communication tee is SO simple we can't quite believe it didn't exist before now.
這種最新的“用標識溝通全球”交流T恤看起來如此簡單，以至于你會驚嘆為什么大家之前都沒發(fā)現(xiàn)這招。

Think about it: how easy would it be if you were on holiday in a foreign country and were just able to point to a symbol explaining the message you intend to get across, without uttering a word of failed language?
想象一下：你到國外度假，想要表達什么信息時，只要指一下T恤上對應的標識就可以了，少了語言不通的煩惱，是不是很爽？

For example, wouldn't it be helpful to know how to find the nearest toilet, where the airport is, what the time is and where is the best restaurant to grab a bite to eat without having to reach for your phrase book every time?
比如，想要知道最近的廁所在哪兒、機場怎么走、現(xiàn)在幾點了、附近有沒有不錯的餐廳……再也不用一遍遍翻出詞匯小本了，統(tǒng)統(tǒng)信手拈來有木有？

Thanks to this ingenious T-shirt, all you need to do is point to the symbol that best represents your problem and hope that you can understand the gist of what the person is saying back to you.
有了這款創(chuàng)意T恤，你只要指一指上面最能代表你問題的標識，并搞懂對方跟你說的主要意思即可。

Swiss friends George, Steven and Florian who are behind the brand explain on their website: "In the furthest and deepest corners of our world we were repeatedly left with no words, due to our lacking linguistic talents.
三位瑞士小伙伴——喬治、史蒂芬和弗洛萊恩——是這種T恤的發(fā)明者。他們在自己的網(wǎng)站上表示：“因為不懂當?shù)卣Z言，我們經(jīng)常會在世界最遠最深的某個角落失語。”

"Such situations got us thinking about how to bridge language barriers with utmost simplicity, on a global level. The answer came to us after a remarkable experience in the depths of Vietnamese backcountry. Because with ICONs, you can SPEAK, you can SPEAK to the world."
“于是我們就想，怎樣用最簡單的方式來掃除這種語言障礙，而且全球適用。當我們在越南偏遠地區(qū)經(jīng)歷了一次不同凡響之旅后，我們終于找到了答案。有了標識，你就可以說話了，你可以跟整個世界對話了。”

Of course, the T-shirts don't exactly help you if you want to try and learn the language, nor will they make your travelling pictures look great if you're wearing the same outfit every day - but there will surely be benefits along the way.
當然，如果你想試著學一下當?shù)卣Z言的話，這款T恤肯定幫不了你。而且因為你要每天穿同一件T恤，你的旅游照片也會看起來不那么多彩——但它對你的旅行有幫助是一定的。
