近日,澳大利亚一名在逃少女登上该国各大报纸的头版头条,因为她要求警方和各媒体将通缉令上的头像照片换一张更好看的。
Teenager who was on the run from police in Australia made national headlines after asking police and media to use a better photo of her rather than an unflattering mugshot.
这名在逃犯名叫艾米·夏普,今年刚刚18岁,她因为财产罪被捕,后又从悉尼的一所警局成功越狱。
Amy Sharp, 18, allegedly broke out of a police station in Sydney after being arrested on property offences.
按照常规做法,警方随后公布了一篇声明,宣布夏普逃狱的消息,还附上了两张照片,照片上面的她裹着一条粉色的毯子。
As is standard practice, police released a statement about her escape, along with two photographs which showed her wrapped in a pink blanket.
这下夏普可不乐意了,她上传了一张新照片,建议警方和媒体用这张好看的。
But Sharp was not happy with the images and released a suggested replacement.
警方的声明和夏普的监狱照都是由澳大利亚七号电视台发布的,于是尽管夏普仍然在逃,还是在电视台的脸书上发表了留言,她用十分礼貌的语气说:"请问你们能否换成这张照片?非常感谢!致以诚挚的问候,艾米·夏普。"
Still on the run, she posted a polite request on the Facebook page of Australia's Channel Seven, which had published the police statement and photographs, saying: "Can you use this photo please, and thank you. Yours truly Amy Sharp XX."
夏普的留言立刻走红,收获了超过61000次赞。
The message went viral with more than 61,000 likes.
一条评论称:"这小姑娘真是我的英雄,"
"This girl is my hero," said one comment.
另一条则评论道:"哈哈,这也太经典了吧,我觉得警察们又学会了一种抓捕逃犯的新方法。直接放一张他们的丑照上去,逃犯到时候就会主动联系你,给你一张好看点的照片。"
"Haha that's a classic," said another. "Think the cops have found a new way to catch crimes. Just put out an ugly photo and the crime will be in touch to give you a better one lol."
不过夏普没能如愿以偿,七号电视台放的还是警方拍摄的那两张"丑照",在之后发布的跟进帖子中,警方表示夏普已再次被捕,而就算是在这篇帖子中,照片还是没换。
Sharp's message did not persuade Channel Seven, which persisted with displaying the police mugshots even after it produced a follow-up post reporting that the teenager had been recaptured.
"拜托就把另外那张照片换上吧,"有人评论道。
"Use the other photo please," said one comment.
"为什么你们就是不用人家发给你的照片啊,"另一则评论这样说,"七号电视台真是一点都不尊重越狱犯呢。咂咂"
"Why are you not using her photo she sent you," said another. "Channel7 has no respect for escaped prisoners. Tsk tsk tsk."
