2010年南非世界杯的加油神器嗚嗚祖拉曾經讓世界側目。四年以后，巴西世界杯的球迷們將用什么工具來為自己支持的球隊吶喊助威呢？別擔心，比利時的兩位設計師已經為大家準備好了新的助威神器diabolica。

The diabolica is a lightweight plastic trumpet now being mass-produced in a variety of bright, team colors targeting the forthcoming tournament. A snip at around 9 euros, the diabolica resembles a small telescope in that it can be collapsed into three separate pieces – a mouthpiece, extension piece and trumpet. These fit inside each other so that, when collapsed, the whole thing is just 12 centimeters long and can easily fit into a pocket, making it very easy to take into a football stadium.

Diabolica是一款輕便的塑料喇叭，各種鮮亮顏色、代表不同球隊的喇叭目前正在量產，以迎接世界杯的到來。這種小喇叭外形像一個小型望遠鏡，可以拆分為三個部分——吹口、延長管和喇叭，售價約9歐元（約合人民幣76元）。這三部分可以套裝在一起，拆分以后整個喇叭僅有12厘米長，可以很容易裝進衣服口袋中，便于攜帶進入比賽場館。

Any potential purchasers out there might also be pleased to hear that the diabolica allegedly requires less lung power than the vuvuzela, a fact which could also be 'music to the ears' of other spectators as it means the instrument is quieter (a mere 98 decibels as opposed to 122 for the vuvuzela!).

據稱，吹響這種小型喇叭需要的肺活量要比嗚嗚祖拉小，有意購買的球迷聽到這個消息大概會挺高興的；對于現場的其他球迷來說，這大概也是個好消息，因為這說明這款小型喇叭的音量會小一些（diabolica的音量為98分貝，vuvuzela為122分貝）。

The diabolica is the creation of young Belgian designers David Dos Santos and Fabio Lavalle. The instrument was named after the Belgian national football team who are known as 'the Red Devils' (i.e. French diable = devil).

Diobolica是由比利時設計師大衛?桑托斯和法比奧?拉威爾設計。Diobolica這個名字也是源自于比利時國家足球隊的綽號“紅魔”（在法語里diable意思為devil）。
