  This incredible iPhone 4 was yesterday unveiled as the world's most expensive mobile - worth a jaw-dropping ?5 MILLION. The handset is wrapped in more than 500 individual flawless cut diamonds totalling 100 carats.
  一款外壳镶嵌钻石的Iphone4一经问世,立马凭借“璀璨的外表”夺得了众人的目光。这款高达500万英镑的手机很快就排在“世界上最昂贵手机”名单的榜首。据悉,这款手机上镶嵌了500颗切割精细的钻石,而钻石的总重量则达到了100克拉。
  It features two interchangeable diamonds which fit over the 'home' button - a single cut 7.4 carat pink diamond and a rare 8 carat single cut flawless diamond which are together worth more than ?4 million.
  另外,这款手机上的钻石也不平常。记者获悉,机身上配备有两枚镶嵌在“返回”按键上的可以交替使用的钻石:一颗是重量达7.4克拉的粉红钻石,而另外一颗则是八面切割的8克拉稀有钻石。据悉,光这两颗钻石的价值就超过了400万英镑。
  The back of the phone is plated in rose gold and the Apple logo glitters with 53 diamonds.

  机身的背面颜色为罕见的“玫瑰金”,而“苹果标志”则是由53颗钻石镶嵌而成。
  British designer Stuart Hughes, 38, of Liverpool, was commissioned to make two of the bespoke handset by a mega-rich Australian businessman. He said: 'It was a fantastic challenge and I am really pleased with the end result - the phones look superb. 'Phones are so popular at the moment and this is the ultimate design for one. It was a very exciting project. 'It is amazing that someone is prepared to spend ?5 million on a phone, I doubt it will get used because it is worth so much money. 'It would be a disaster if it was ever lost.'
  38岁的英国设计师Stuart Hughes说,这个手机是独一无二的,完全是为个别人定制的特别款。也许,花费500万买一台手机那简直就是疯了。我怀疑,这个手机并不实用,因为手机实在太贵了,要是一不小心弄丢,那可就真惨了。
