秀色可餐 美国推出自拍面包机

　　Continuing its 167-year history of offering the Best, the Only and the Unexpected, Hammacher Schlemmer introduces The Selfie Toaster, which indelibly brands its owner's image onto slices of bread.

　　美国零售商马赫尔・施莱默公司(Hammacher Schlemmer)167年来一直秉承着“只提供最优秀创意产品”的商业理念。近日，公司推出了一款自拍面包机(The Selfie Toaster)，烤好的面包片上能够清晰地显现出使用者的头像。

　　Crafted from a headshot photograph submitted online, custom stainless steel heating inserts capture a subject's full facial details, enabling the toaster's heating elements to brown light or dark likenesses of the subject onto one side of each piece of toast。

　　用户只需在网络上提交大头照，就能定制出符合他们整体面部特征的不锈钢插片。面包机在烘烤时，不锈钢插片能让面包片一侧的呈现出或深或浅的棕色，从而将人物的肖像印在面包片上。

　　"It's always a delight when we can help solve problems while having fun," explained Hammacher Schlemmer's General ManagerFred Berns. "The toaster removes any question as to the ownership of the next two slices, hopefully reducing the number of toast tugs-of-war at breakfast."

　　公司总经理弗雷德・伯恩斯(Fred Berns)解释道：“在帮助大家解决问题的同时，还能享受到乐趣，这一直让我们很高兴。这款面包机成功解决了两片面包的归属问题，早餐时争吃烤面包片的拉锯战会大大减少。”

　　A complimentary Hammacher Schlemmer insert is included as an example of how the toaster operates; custom inserts will be sent separately approximately two weeks after the customer uploads a high-resolution digital image online using the included instructions。

　　用户购买这款面包机时，公司会赠送一张不锈钢插片作为样例，帮助他们了解面包机的使用方式。用户按产品说明网传一张高分辨率图像后，定制插片会在大约两周内送至。
