帶自動傘的貼心路燈:下雨了去路燈下躲雨吧！
If you have ever been caught in the rain without an umbrella you should appreciate this innovative lamppost - because it doubles as a shelter.
如果你曾有過下雨天忘帶傘的經歷，那麼你一定會喜歡這款革新式的路燈：它既能照明，又能擋雨。The Lampbrella has been designed for those of us who get caught short by the elements.
這款“傘燈”是專爲那些被大雨淋得猝不及防而手中又沒有裝備的人士設計的。Naturally, the clever device would be particularly helpful in Britain's unpredictable forecasts.
事實上，這款設計放在以毫無徵兆的降雨而聞名的英國應該尤其合適。
When the canopy's sensors detect rainfall the umbrella is deployed and if it is left unused for two minutes it will close again.
當燈罩上的傳感器感受到雨點時，傘蓋便會自動展開。而當沒人使用時，2分鐘之後它會自動回收。The Lampbrella's canopy, with a diameter of 7ft 2in and installed 6ft 5in from the ground, could comfortably shelter 10 to 12 people.
“傘燈”的傘蓋直徑爲7英尺2英寸（約合2.18米），高度爲離地6英尺5英寸（約合1.96米），能輕易容納下10-12個人。Belyaev, 27, from St Petersburg, Russia, said: 'Once I was driving on a street in St Petersburg and saw the street lamps illuminating people trying to hide from the rain.
來自俄羅斯聖彼得堡的27歲年輕人Bleyaev說道：“有次我在聖彼得堡的道路上開車時，看到街燈照射下的人們正遍地尋找可以避雨的地方，”'I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy built into a streetlamp. When it starts raining, the sensors sen d a signal to the electric drive, which opens the umbrella at a safe low speed.’
“於是我就想：如果能把傘罩做進路燈裏就好了。當天上開始下雨的時候，傳感器向電驅動發送信號，從而能緩緩地展開雨傘。”'The umbrella then closes when a 360-degree motion sensor doesn't ‘see' any people under the canopy for 2 minutes.'
“而當這個360度的全方位傳感器發現傘下沒有路人避雨時，便會在2分鐘之後緩緩關閉。”Designer Mikhail Belyaev said he may opt for an alternative button operated system as it is currently in its concept stage.
設計師Mikhail Belyaev他可能會選擇一個備用按鈕驅動的方案。因爲這項設計還處於概念狀態。The freelance Russian designer has already had interest in his product from a number of companies, and he hopes to begin production work on the Lampbrella in the next few months.
很多公司已經對這位來自俄羅斯的自由設計師的想法表示了興趣。他希望能在接下來的幾個月開始將概念設計推向生產。Belyaev added: 'I'd like to see Lampbella installed all over the world - but it is necessary to solve all aspects of its safety first.
他說道：“我希望傘燈能遍及全世界-當然，前提是確保它的各方面安全。”'I think it would be useful almost in every country, but especially in rainy England perhaps - I'd love to see it in London.
“我想它對任何一個國家來說都會很有用，尤其是在多雨的英國——真希望倫敦也能裝上它們。”'From the comments I have received, people really like it, I didn't expect good such reaction.'
“從收到的評論來看，人們很歡迎這個設計。說實話我自己都沒料到它會這麼受歡迎！”
