Designed to help frequent flyers bypass airport baggage queues, reduce baggage fees and virtually eliminate the risk of lost luggage, this modular Airport Jacket features 14 pockets and two detachable “pocket panels” that fit around 15 kilograms of luggage. “With airlines beginning to charge for overhead carry-on baggage as well as severely restricting baggage allowances for the low fare economy traveler, my partner and I have designed a modular jacket that allows you to wear your laptop, tablet, two pairs of shoes, a pair of jeans, five T-shirts, a jumper and an SLR camera,” designer Claire Murphy explains. “It totals 14 deep pockets, including eight pockets at hip length, 11 pockets at three-quarter length and 14 pockets at full length. It includes two detachable pocket panels, and a carry-on size duffle bag.” Claire and Benke Murphy came up with the idea for the Airport Jacket while traveling home with their newborn child. They had so much extra carry-on luggage, because of the baby, that the airline tried to charge them US$140 for it, more than the cost of their tickets. So they had to put clothes, gadget chargers, diapers and toys into their pockets, until they were just over the weight limit. They dodged the tax, but everything was sticking out of their pockets and it was a pretty uncomfortable plane ride. That’s when they decided that there was a massive need for a solution to this problem, and the idea for the Airport Jacket was born. “Wearers need simply slide their luggage into the jacket pockets when checking in and boarding the flight, and once safely off the plane the jacket can easily be unzipped and transformed into a duffle bag capable of holding both the jacket plus all items in the pockets,” Juice Promotions Australia, the company behind this unique product, claims. 坐飞机担心行李超重？不妨试试澳大利亚夫妇设计的“机场夹克”。有了这件逆天的“机场夹克”，你就可以将全部行李都穿在身上。不用排队托运行李，也不用为超重行李支付费用。“机场夹克”其实是一件有很多大口袋的外套，拆装拉链后可分为齐臀、膝上和齐膝三个穿着长度。这件外套最长时有14个深兜，可以装下笔记本电脑、iPad、两双鞋、一条牛仔裤、5件T恤、一件套头衫和一部单反。 为了帮助经常坐飞机的乘客避开托运行李的长龙，节省行李费，并有效地降低行李丢失的风险，组合式“机场夹克”设计了14个口袋、两个可以容纳15公斤行李的可拆卸“口袋布块”。 设计师克莱尔·墨菲称，“由于航空公司开始对超重的手提行李收取费用，并严格限制经济舱旅客的行李限重额，我和我的爱人设计了一款组合式夹克，它可以让你随身携带笔记本电脑、平板电脑、两双鞋、一条裤子、5件T恤以及一件套头衫和一台单反相机。” “这件夹克全身上下共有14个大口袋，长度齐臀时包含8个口袋，大半身长度的夹克包含11个口袋，长度最长时包含14个口袋。夹克包含两个可拆卸的布块以及一个大小可随身携带的行李袋。” 克莱尔和本基·墨菲带着他们刚出生的宝宝回家时在路上想出了“机场夹克”的点子。由于带着婴儿，他们的随身行李超重太多，航空公司因此要向他们收取140美元的超重费，这比他们的机票还要贵。 所以他们不得不把衣服、小充电器、尿布以及玩具装进口袋里，直到刚好达到超重限额。虽然他们不用缴纳超重费了，但是这趟飞行相当的不舒服，所有东西都从口袋里冒了出来。于是他们认为非常有必要解决这个问题，“机场夹克”的点子就此诞生了。 这件奇葩夹克的生产商Juice Promotions Australia称，“穿着者只需要在办理登机手续和登机时将他们的行李放进衣服口袋里，安全着陆之后，就可以轻松将外套压缩并改造成一只行李袋，提着衣服和口袋里所有的行李。” (Chinadaily.com.cn) Words to Learn 相关词汇 【消除】 xiāochú eliminate to get rid of something that is not wanted or needed 【可拆开的】kěchāikāi de detachable a detachable part can be removed and put back on again |
