Clippa多功能發(fā)卡：發(fā)卡中的戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)

The best things often come in small packages and a new hair clip is aiming to do for women what the Swiss Army Knife did for men.
濃縮的都是精華，比如集諸多工具為一身的瑞士軍刀（Swiss Army Knife），可謂男人的好幫手。現(xiàn)在一款新型發(fā)卡立志成為為妹子們服務(wù)的發(fā)卡界“瑞士軍刀”。

The Clippa Lady reinvents the metal snap-style hair clip favoured by females the world over into something rather more useful.
這款發(fā)卡名為Clippa Lady，改良了廣受全世界女性喜愛的手掰式金屬發(fā)卡，將其變得更為實(shí)用。

The company behind the hair clip, which comes in a bright pink colour, has issued the latest design in the Clippa range to woo a more feminine audience.
這款亮粉色發(fā)卡是Clippa系列的最新款，研發(fā)這款發(fā)卡的公司希望該產(chǎn)品能爭取到更多的女性消費(fèi)者。

It has previously gone for more masculine-looking silver and black coloured clips, not necessarily worn in the hair, which have targeted male users.
該公司之前曾面向男性消費(fèi)者發(fā)布過更有男人味的銀色和黑色發(fā)卡，并不一定要戴在頭發(fā)上。

Where previous features on the original design have included a serrated edge for cutting, the Clipper Lady replaces the knife function with a nail file...something which will almost certainly raise a few eyebrows amongst feminists.
最初設(shè)計(jì)出來的發(fā)卡有著鋸齒狀邊緣，可用來切割物品，Clipper Lady發(fā)卡將該位置的刀具功能替換為指甲銼，這幾乎必然會(huì)引起一些女權(quán)主義者的不滿。

While it may not be able to deal with more heavy duty tasks easily handled by weightier multi-tools, the Clipper Lady's natty design means wearers can easily deal with tidying up broken nails or removing bottle tops.
重型多功能工具可以輕松搞定的更為繁重的工作，這個(gè)小小的發(fā)卡可能無法勝任，但Clippa Lady發(fā)卡精妙的設(shè)計(jì)意味著佩戴者可以輕松地打理劈裂的指甲或打開瓶蓋。

All of the above is more impressive when you consider its diminutive size; although it's larger than your average hair clip, the Clippa Lady still measures in at just 4.92 x 2.87 x 0.82 inches.
考慮到它小巧的尺寸，能實(shí)現(xiàn)上面的功能更加令人嘆為觀止。盡管比普通發(fā)卡要大，Clippa Lady發(fā)卡的長寬高仍然分別只有4.92、2.87、0.82英寸。

User reviews of the clip suggest that the product is a practical gift not just for women but also for girls.
發(fā)卡的使用者評(píng)論說這個(gè)產(chǎn)品是很實(shí)用的禮物，不僅適合送給成熟女士，送給小女生同樣合適。

On Amazon, one reviewer, Sarah Hubbard, wrote that she bought the gift for her friend's 11-year-old daughter who 'had been complaining that multi-tools were made for boys' and revealed that she 'loved it'.
在亞馬遜（Amazon）網(wǎng)站上，名叫薩拉?哈伯德（Sarah Hubbard）的用戶評(píng)論說這是她送給朋友11歲女兒的禮物，小女孩對(duì)這個(gè)禮物“愛不釋手”。這個(gè)小女生曾經(jīng)抱怨“那些多功能工具都是為男孩子設(shè)計(jì)的”。

However, not everyone has raved about the product with another Amazon user, Jill, describing it as 'too flimsy to be useful as a screwdriver or a knife'.
但也并不是每個(gè)人都對(duì)這個(gè)產(chǎn)品贊不絕口，另一名亞馬遜用戶吉爾（Jill）的評(píng)價(jià)是這樣的：“這個(gè)發(fā)卡太脆弱了，沒辦法當(dāng)螺絲刀或刀使用”。
