出國旅遊,你需要一件這樣的萬能圖標T恤!

If you're the kind of person who loves travel but finds it difficult to break down language barriers, you may want to check out Iconspeak, a T-shirt covered in basic pictographs ranging from clocks to bathrooms.

如果你是那種愛旅行，卻難以打破語言障礙的人，那你可能想看看這款圖標語言T恤。從時鐘到浴室，這款T恤上印着許多基礎的象形圖畫。

Simply point to the symbol associated with your need, and hopefully, the person you're talking to will understand. It's better than having to play charadeswith strangers, I can tell you that.

需要什麼，輕輕一指，很可能你談話的對象就明白了。我敢說，這比對着陌生人比劃猜詞要強。

Iconspeak is the brainchild of friends George Horn and Florian Nast.

圖標語言T恤的點子是一對好朋友，喬治·霍恩和弗羅裏安·納斯特一起想出來的。

They were traveling through Asia in 2013 and found themselves in a remote village with "no infrastructure, zero tourism, and just some locals."

2013年，他們到亞洲旅行時，曾經到過一個偏遠的小村子，那裏“既沒有基礎設施，也沒有旅遊業，只有一些當地居民”。

This experience inspired them to start working on a simple yet effective solution to the language gap. Two years later, they came up with the Iconspeak t-shirt.

這次經歷啓發他們開始尋找一種簡單有效的彌合語言障礙的辦法。兩年後，他們設計出了圖標語言T恤。

"In the furthest and deepest corners of our world we were repeatedly left with no words, either in breathtakingawedue to the sceneries or in empty silence, due to our lacking linguistic talents," the Iconspeak website states.

圖標語言T恤的官網上這樣寫道：“在世界上最遙遠而偏僻的角落，我們常常會啞口無言，有時是因爲周圍美景攝人心魄，令人驚畏，有時則是因爲語言不通，不得不沉默。”

"Such situations got us thinking about how to bridgelanguage barriers with utmostsimplicity, on a global level. The answer came to us after a remarkable experience in the depths of Vietnamese backcountry: ICONs. Because with ICONs, you can SPEAK, you can SPEAK to the world."

“這種情況促使我們思考，如何才能用最簡單的方式在全球範圍內突破語言障礙呢？在越南一處窮鄉僻壤的奇妙經歷給了我們答案：圖標。有了圖標，它們就可以替你說話了，你就可以對世界說話了。”

The products are available internationally through the Iconspeak website.

目前，這款T恤可通過產品官網全球訂購。
