近日,国际足联和卡塔尔公布了2022卡塔尔世界杯足球赛的吉祥物La'eeb,吸引了很多人的注意。
La’eeb在阿拉伯语中意思是“技艺高超的球员(super-skilled player)”,它是青春永驻的,来自“吉祥物宇宙”的产物,希望把足球的快乐带给每一个人。
Qatar and FIFA have unveiled La'eeb as the Official Mascot for this year's FIFA World Cup 2022™.
网友们也议论纷纷,展开了自己的想象:“水母小美”“小馄饨皮”“阿拉伯飞毯”……
据悉,吉祥物的灵感源于阿拉伯人标志性的白头巾(gutra),很有中东特色。官方还说到La’eeb是一个虚拟形象,可以根据自己的想象变成任何的样子。
What at first glance has the appearance of a gutra, a cloth headdress worn in Qatar, the mascot is not meant to have a fixed anthropomorphic identity, according to the marketing team that created it.
吉祥物的设计团队称,乍一看,吉祥物的外观像卡塔尔人戴的白头巾(gutra),但它并不意味着有特定的拟人化身份。
He belongs to a parallel mascot-verse that is indescribable – everyone is invited to interpret what it looks like. La'eeb encourages everyone to believe in themselves as "Now is All". He will bring the joy of football to everyone.
FIFA官网称,它属于一个难以形容的吉祥物平行宇宙——每个人都被邀请来诠释它的样子。La'eeb鼓励每个人都相信自己,因为“此刻就是一切”。它将把足球的快乐带给每一个人。
La'eeb的形象也激发了外国网友的想象力,他们在社交媒体上热烈讨论起来:
Social media was full of memes once La'eeb had been announced, with a lot of comparisons being drawn. Perhaps the most accurate pointed to La'eeb's similarities with Casper the Friendly Ghost, while others suggested he looked like South Park's Towelie.
La'eeb一发布,网友们在社交媒体玩开了关于它的各种梗,把它和其他动画形象比来比去。也许最像的是鬼马精灵,还有人觉得它很像南方公园的Towelie。
每次世界杯足球赛,吉祥物的设计都是人们津津乐道的对象。在卡塔尔世界杯的宣传片中,以往所有的吉祥物在同一时空出现。
