英语热词：时下流行的“手办”到底是什么？

点此解咒

动漫人物的仿真小模型，迪斯尼动画中的人物模型，这些都属于动画产业的周边产品，但是这一类产品还有个自己的名字，手办。这个名字来源于日语，英文中多叫做garage kit。

A garage kit or resin kit is an assembly scale model kit most commonly cast in polyurethane resin.

手办（garage kit或resin kit）指由聚氨脂树脂制成的比例模型套装。

They are often model figures portraying humans or other living creatures. In Japan, kits often depict anime characters, and in the United States depictions of movie monsters are common. However, kits are produced depicting a wide range of subjects, from characters from horror, science fiction, fantasy films, television and comic books to original works of art, as well as upgrade and conversion kits for existing models.

手办通常是人物或其他生物的模型。在日本，这一类模型套装多事动漫人物，而在美国，电影中的怪物通常是手办的主角。不过，也有手办套装展现的是更加宽泛的主题，有恐怖片、科幻片、魔幻片、电视和漫画书中的人物，也有原创艺术作品中的人物，还有现存套装模型升级换代的版本。

Originally garage kits were amateur-produced and the term originated with dedicated hobbyists using their garages as workshops. Unable to find model kits of subjects they wanted on the market, they began producing kits of their own. As the market expanded professional companies began making similar kits. Sometimes a distinction is made between true garage kits, made by amateurs, and resin kits, manufactured professionally by companies.

最开始的时候，手办都是业余爱好者自己制作的，也是因为这些业余爱好者最早把车库作为工作坊制作手办，所以才有了garage kit这个说法。因为在市场上找不到自己想要的模型，他们就开始自己制作。随着这个市场不断扩大，专业公司也开始制作手办套装。有时候，手办的说法会因为制作者不同而有所区别，业余爱好者制作的就叫garage kit，而专业公司制作的就叫resin kit（树脂套装）。（中国日报网）
