The best things often come in small packages and a new hair clip is aiming to do for women what the Swiss Army Knife did for men.
濃縮的都是精華，比如集諸多工具為一身的瑞士軍刀（Swiss Army Knife），可謂男人的好幫手。現(xiàn)在一款新型發(fā)卡立志成為為妹子們服務(wù)的發(fā)卡界“瑞士軍刀”。

The Clippa Lady reinvents the metal snap-style hair clip favoured by females the world over into something rather more useful.
這款發(fā)卡名為Clippa Lady，改良了廣受全世界女性喜愛的手掰式金屬發(fā)卡，將其變得更為實(shí)用。

The company behind the hair clip, which comes in a bright pink colour, has issued the latest design in the Clippa range to woo a more feminine audience.
這款亮粉色發(fā)卡是Clippa系列的最新款，研發(fā)這款發(fā)卡的公司希望該產(chǎn)品能爭取到更多的女性消費(fèi)者。

It has previously gone for more masculine-looking silver and black coloured clips, not necessarily worn in the hair, which have targeted male users.
該公司之前曾面向男性消費(fèi)者發(fā)布過更有男人味的銀色和黑色發(fā)卡，并不一定要戴在頭發(fā)上。

Where previous features on the original design have included a serrated edge for cutting, the Clipper Lady replaces the knife function with a nail file...something which will almost certainly raise a few eyebrows amongst feminists.
最初設(shè)計出來的發(fā)卡有著鋸齒狀邊緣，可用來切割物品，Clipper Lady發(fā)卡將該位置的刀具功能替換為指甲銼，這幾乎必然會引起一些女權(quán)主義者的不滿。

While it may not be able to deal with more heavy duty tasks easily handled by weightier multi-tools, the Clipper Lady's natty design means wearers can easily deal with tidying up broken nails or removing bottle tops.
重型多功能工具可以輕松搞定的更為繁重的工作，這個小小的發(fā)卡可能無法勝任，但Clippa Lady發(fā)卡精妙的設(shè)計意味著佩戴者可以輕松地打理劈裂的指甲或打開瓶蓋。

All of the above is more impressive when you consider its diminutive size; although it's larger than your average hair clip, the Clippa Lady still measures in at just 4.92 x 2.87 x 0.82 inches.
考慮到它小巧的尺寸，能實(shí)現(xiàn)上面的功能更加令人嘆為觀止。盡管比普通發(fā)卡要大，Clippa Lady發(fā)卡的長寬高仍然分別只有4.92、2.87、0.82英寸。

User reviews of the clip suggest that the product is a practical gift not just for women but also for girls.
發(fā)卡的使用者評論說這個產(chǎn)品是很實(shí)用的禮物，不僅適合送給成熟女士，送給小女生同樣合適。

On Amazon, one reviewer, Sarah Hubbard, wrote that she bought the gift for her friend's 11-year-old daughter who 'had been complaining that multi-tools were made for boys' and revealed that she 'loved it'.
在亞馬遜（Amazon）網(wǎng)站上，名叫薩拉?哈伯德（Sarah Hubbard）的用戶評論說這是她送給朋友11歲女兒的禮物，小女孩對這個禮物“愛不釋手”。這個小女生曾經(jīng)抱怨“那些多功能工具都是為男孩子設(shè)計的”。

However, not everyone has raved about the product with another Amazon user, Jill, describing it as 'too flimsy to be useful as a screwdriver or a knife'.
但也并不是每個人都對這個產(chǎn)品贊不絕口，另一名亞馬遜用戶吉爾（Jill）的評價是這樣的：“這個發(fā)卡太脆弱了，沒辦法當(dāng)螺絲刀或刀使用”。
