在圖片搜索框中輸入“自拍”二字，你可能會看到千奇百怪的網友自拍照片。自拍，好像已經成了很多網絡人必不可少的一部分。不過，你知道“自拍”的英文説法嗎？
（01）“自拍”這個詞早在1984年便已出現，英文學名為Self-timer，當時只是指照相機的一種功能，即自行設定拍照時間。這個功能主要是給用户在單獨使用相機，又想拍攝自己影像時使用的。但隨着上世紀90年代網絡技術的蓬勃發展，自拍遭遇了網絡，於是“網絡自拍”作為一個新興事物誕生了。
（01）從形式來分，“網絡自拍”照片大體分為三種：攝像頭照片、生活照片和專業照片。
（02）攝像頭照片主要是電腦攝像頭照片，手機攝像頭照片，這類照片易於拍攝傳輸，並且很容易用燈光做出簡單的攝影效果，所以深受自拍男女的青睞，成為“網絡自拍”的重要組成部分。
（03）生活照片則是“網絡自拍”的中堅力量，也是網民們的最愛，它具有真實度高、視覺符號量大、情景性強的特點，很多網民喜歡在“網絡自拍”照後附上自己的人生感言，心情故事或者乾脆將照片貼入bolg，成為自己的生活日記。
（04）專業照片可謂“網絡自拍”的新貴，請一個專業攝影朋友或者去專業影樓，用高檔相機和複雜的後期製作創造出“網絡自拍”中最唯美的照片。它並不一定是傳統塗脂抹粉的藝術照，也許隨意的抓拍就能撲捉到網友的明星氣質，甚至可以跟時尚雜誌的封面人物媲美，但因為它價格較昂貴，所以只侷限於白領和喜歡嘗試的網友中間。
（01）A selfie is a photographic self-portrait, particularly one taken with the intent of posting it to a social ie就是“自拍照”，尤指那些自拍後上載到社交網站的照片。
（02）Not since the days of Picasso has self-portraiture been so prevalent. Smartphones' high-quality built-in cameras and easy access to picture-enhancing apps are making "selfies" a ubiquitous form of self-expression among social-media users.自畢加索時期以來，自畫像從未如此盛行。智能手機的高質內置相機以及可以便捷使用的照片修正程序正在讓“自拍”成為社交媒體用户普遍使用的一種自我表達方式。
（01）A picture taken of yourself that is planned to be uploaded to Facebook, Myspace or any other sort of social networking website. You can usually see the person's arm holding out the camera in which case you can clearly tell that this person does not have any friends to take pictures of them so they resort to Myspace to find internet friends and post pictures of themselves, taken by themselves. A selfie is usually accompanied by a kissy face or the individual looking in a direction that is not towards the camera.
（02）A strange phenomenon in which the photographer is also the subject of the photograph, in a subversive twist on the traditional understanding of the photograph. Usually conducted because the subject cannot locate a suitable photographer to take the photo, like a -man 1: Charles, my prince! I see you took a selfie last night! I found this out on the book of faces, on the interwebz. Ghastly stuff, those selfies!Hugh-man 2: Leave Charles alone! If he doesn't want to have friends, that is his prerogative!Charles mumbles inaudibly as they gag him and put him in the back of a van.
（03）when someone, of vein stature, takes a picture of themselves and either: A- posts it on facebook, for no purpose or, B- masturbates to it in private/ McBee hates when people post selfies of themselves on facebook, she already knows what you look like. 168 more pictures does not solidify the aesthetic value of who you are.
（04）When someone takes a picture of themselves looking ugly or funny and sends it to their friends to get them to laugh. People who do this are not trying to look good and usually don't. The typical selfie face involves a peace sign and duck lips.*sends weird looking selfie to friend* "OMG I'M SO PRETTY!!!!"
