清涼一夏! 魔性西瓜裙風靡社交網絡!

Less painful than the ice bucket chAllenge and more flattering than the no make-up selfie, the watermelon dress is the latest photo craze to hit social media.

沒有冰桶挑戰那麼痛苦，比素顏自拍更討人喜歡，西瓜裙成爲社交媒體上掀起的最新曬照風潮。

All you need to partake is a watermelon, a cutting utensil and a cheery pose - assuming you already have the phone and the Instagram account.

假設你已經有了手機和Instagram賬戶，那麼你只需要一個西瓜、一把切西瓜的刀具和一個愉快的造型即可加入這波曬照大軍。

Fans of the #watermelondress hashtag have been showing off their handiwork, carving couture frocks out of the fruit. And thanks to a little perspective, the illusion somehow works.

#西瓜裙主題標籤的粉絲們曬出他們的手工作品，他們用西瓜切出時髦的連衣裙，藉助一定的視覺角度，讓人產生錯覺。

How does it work? person charged with taking the photo simply holds the tiny dress - cut from the skin and flesh of the fruit - close to the lens to create the illusion that the person in the background is wearing it.

這是如何做到的呢？很簡單……拍照者只需用手拿着小片的從瓜皮和瓜瓤中切下的西瓜裙，讓它靠近鏡頭，就能營造出背景中的人物穿着西瓜裙的錯覺。

There are snaps of babies gurgling in what looks like a pink smock, men wearing full A-line skirts and ladies looking lovely in off-the-shoulder numbers.

網上曬出的照片中，有的嬰兒就好像穿着一件粉罩衫，有的男性就好像穿了一件A字裙，還有的女性穿上露肩西瓜裙看上去美美的。

The genius of the watermelon dress appears to be the fact that the fruit's green skin makes a perfect hemline, and the easily-cut flesh can be shaped as you desire, with sharp lines and soft edges both popular.

西瓜裙的妙處似乎在於，綠色的瓜皮可以作爲完美的裙邊，而且瓜瓤很容易切成任何你想要的形狀，硬朗的線條和柔和的曲線都很流行。

It isn't clear where exactly the trend began but it looks set to be the must-have snap of the summer, which is likely to be music to the ears of greengrocers everywhere.

西瓜裙何時開始風靡起來尚不得而知，但似乎將成爲這個夏天的必備曬照樣式，這對各地的蔬菜水果商販來說可真是個好消息。
