巴基斯坦地方政府記者會直播忘關濾鏡 新聞部長變“貓臉”

近日，巴基斯坦某地方政府通過社交媒體直播了一場新聞發佈會，但直播過程中卻忘記了關閉該平臺直播界面的“貓咪”濾鏡，結果新聞部長在屏幕上變成了“貓臉”，不但有粉紅色的腮紅，還有鬍鬚和貓耳朵，令網友笑翻。

A politician in northwestern Pakistan was given paws for thought after his press conference was streamed live on Facebook with the “cat filter” turned on, giving him on-screen whiskers and ears.

巴基斯坦西北部的一名政界人士在臉書上直播新聞發佈會時，因爲“貓咪”濾鏡被打開了，導致他在屏幕上“長出了”鬍子和貓耳朵，引發網友的熱烈討論。

注：paws for thought改編自food for thought（引人深思的事）。

The online stream of regional minister Shaukat Yousafzai speaking with journalists went viral on Friday after a member of his social media team accidentally activated the filter on the social network.

上週五，巴基斯坦地方政府部長肖卡特·尤薩夫扎伊和記者對話的網絡直播視頻火了，原因是他的社交媒體團隊的一名成員不小心打開了臉書網站上的“貓咪”濾鏡。

Comments started pouring in as Facebook users noticed pink cat-like ears and whiskers had appeared on the heads of the minister and two accompanying officials.

在臉書網友注意到部長和兩位隨行官員臉上的粉色貓耳朵和鬍子後，各種評論就像洪水一般涌來。

There's “a cat in the cabinet” one said. Others were more literal: “Shaukat Yousafzai looks like a cat - Meow meow meow”.

一名網友說：“碗櫥裏有一隻貓。”（原短語是a skeleton in the cabinet，意思是“不爲人知的家醜”）其他網友則更直白：“肖卡特·尤薩夫扎伊看起來像一隻貓——喵喵喵”。

The video - seen by an AFP reporter - was deleted minutes after the press conference from the official Facebook page of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, which is in power in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

被一名法新社記者目擊到的這個視頻在新聞發佈會開完幾分鐘後就從巴基斯坦正義運動黨的臉書官方頁面上被刪除。正義運動黨是開伯爾-普赫圖赫瓦省的執政黨。

Images from the press conference were still available on social media.

新聞發佈會上的一些截圖仍然可以在社交媒體上找到。

Yousafzai confirmed the incident and told AFP it happened by accident.

尤薩夫扎伊證實了這一事件，並告訴法新社說這是個意外。

"The cat filter was turned on by mistake,” Yousafzai said, adding “let's not take everything so seriously”.

“貓咪濾鏡是被無意中打開的，”尤薩夫扎伊說道，“大家不用這麼當真。”

"I wasn't the only one - two officials sitting along me were also hit by the cat filter,” he joked.

他笑稱：“我不是唯一一個變成‘貓臉’的人，坐在我旁邊的兩名官員也被貓咪濾鏡擊中了。”

The live stream continued with the whiskers and ears in place, even after the error was pointed out by users.

即使在網友指出錯誤後，直播仍然帶着鬍子和貓耳朵繼續。

A press statement, issued by the PTI social media team said the incident happened because of “human error”.

正義運動黨社交媒體團隊發佈的一則新聞聲明稱，這是“人爲錯誤”導致的事件。

"All necessary actions have been taken to avoid such incidents in future,” it said.

聲明中寫道：“今後將採取一切必要的措施來避免此類事件再次發生。”
