新设计让你边喝咖啡边接吻

 　　A slurp¹ of coffee is often one of the first things that touches our mouths in the morning, so a designer has created a cup lid with lips for people who love their morning caffeine hit a little too much.

　　通常来说，新的一天从清晨轻啜一口咖啡开始，因此，一位设计师专为喜欢咖啡因提神的人设计了一款嘴唇形状的咖啡杯盖。

　　Jang WooSeok, from Sunchon, Korea, came up with what he calls 'Coffee Lid : Take 'Kiss' Out' as a fun but functional² concept.

　　来自韩国顺天市的Jang WooSeok提出了一个有趣又实用的想法，他称之为“接吻咖啡杯盖”。

　　Speaking about the creation, which is currently just a prototype, the designer explained: 'Different from the other coffee lids, which have a usual hole to put a straw or to drink directly, Take Kiss Out looks like a human face. Therefore, a coffee drinker experiences a visually funny and emotionally different coffee when drinking.'

　　这一创意目前只是一个范本，还需要改进。针对这个创意，这位设计师解释道：“其他咖啡杯盖通常带一个孔，可以插入吸管，也可以直接，这款‘接吻咖啡杯盖’的不同之处在于其外型很像人脸。因此，喝咖啡的时候可以享受视觉乐趣，心情也不一样了。”

　　Jang believes the lids will make the drinker stand out among their fellow coffee lovers. 'Take-out coffee is a symbol of city culture and fashion. The shape of a lip is a distinctive³ style, thereby⁴ the combination will be fun,' he said of the eerily⁵ lifelike lip-shaped lid design.

　　设计师认为，使用这款杯盖的咖啡爱好者将会引人注目，谈到这款新奇杯盖栩栩如生的嘴唇形状设计，他表示：“接吻咖啡杯盖代表城市的文化和流行趋势。嘴唇形状的风格与众不同，因此这种融合设计很有趣。”

　　Speaking to Mashable, he added that whilst coffee can easily be obtained every day, you aren't always guaranteed a kiss.

　　在接受Mashable采访时，他还表示，尽管咖啡每天都唾手可得，但吻就不一定了。

　　Currently in its prototype form, Jang hopes a major coffee chain will adopt his lip-smacking design.

　　目前，这款杯盖只是一个范本，他希望能有大型咖啡连锁店采纳他的“接吻咖啡杯盖”设计。
