日本今年夏天持續(xù)高溫，不僅人吃不消，寵物也熱得夠嗆。首都東京一家制衣企業(yè)瞄準(zhǔn)商機，推出專供貓狗使用的可穿戴電扇，為寵物消暑降溫。據(jù)路透社8月1日報道，這種可穿戴電扇重80克，由電池驅(qū)動，固定在寵物的網(wǎng)狀衣服上。寵物貓狗穿上這件“夏裝”，即可享受電扇吹出的涼風(fēng)。

A Tokyo clothing maker has teamed up with veterinarians to create a wearable fan for pets, hoping to attract the anxious owners of dogs - or cats - that can't shed their fur coats in Japan's blistering summer weather.
東京一家制衣企業(yè)與獸醫(yī)合作，為寵物設(shè)計了一款可穿戴風(fēng)扇，希望能吸引那些在炎炎夏日擔(dān)心自己的“毛孩子”太熱的狗/貓主人們。

The device consists of a battery-operated, 80-gramme (3-ounce) fan that is attached to a mesh outfit and blows air around an animal's body.

Rei Uzawa, president of maternity clothing maker Sweet Mommy, says she was motivated to create it after seeing her own pet chihuahua exhausted every time it was taken out for a walk in the scorching summer heat.
孕婦裝制造商Sweet Mommy的總裁Rei Uzawa稱，她發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的寵物吉娃娃每次在酷熱的夏天出去散步時都熱得無精打采，因此受到啟發(fā)。

"There was almost no rainy season this year, so the hot days came early, and in that sense, I think we developed a product that is right for the market," she said.
Uzawa稱：“今年幾乎沒有雨季，所以高溫天氣來得早，從這個意義上說，我認為我們開發(fā)了一種符合市場需求的產(chǎn)品?！?/p>

After the rainy season in Tokyo ended in late June, the Japanese capital suffered the longest heatwave on record with temperatures up to 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) for nine days.
日本首都東京的雨季6月底結(jié)束，之后遭遇了有史以來最長的熱浪，連續(xù)九天氣溫高達35攝氏度。

"I usually use dry ice packs (to keep the dog cool). But I think it's easier to walk my dog if we have this fan," said Mami Kumamoto, 48, owner of a miniature poodle named Pudding and a terrier named Maco.

The device debuted in early July and Sweet Mommy has received around 100 orders for the product, Uzawa said. It comes in five different sizes and is priced at 9,900 yen ($74).
Uzawa稱，這款風(fēng)扇于7月初推出，公司已經(jīng)收到約100份訂單。有五種不同尺寸，售價約為74美元（約合人民幣500元）。
