手機刷步神器網路熱賣 這樣有意義嗎?

A device used to increase the number of walking steps counted on smartphones has become popular and tens of thousands of the devices have been sold on Chinese online sales platforms, China Youth Daily reported.

據《中國青年報》報道，用於增加智慧手機記錄的運動步數的刷步神器在我國各大電商平臺暢銷，已經銷售數萬臺。

By placing the smartphone on the swing-like trestle, the number of walking steps tracked by the various apps can be increased by about 10,000 an hour.

只要將智慧手機置於這樣一個搖擺支架上，各種應用記錄的行走步數每小時可增加約一萬步。

Tens-of-thousands of the devices have been sold on online stores in China.

目前，中國的網上商城已售出數萬臺這種裝置了。

The devices range from 30 to 50 yuan, and are powered by batteries or USB links.

該裝置價格在30-50元不等，可以通過電池或USB連線來充電。

The popularity of exercise campaigns launched by social networking apps like WeChat are said to be driving the sales, as the more daily steps you take, the higher your rank will be among your friends on WeChat.

包括微信在內的一些社交網路應用開發的運動排名日益流行，據稱這推高了刷步神器的銷量，因為你每天走的步數越多，你在微信朋友圈中的運動排名就越高。

However, other apps such as Yodo Run, Ledongli and Ping An Health Assistant will award different prizes, including cash awards, for the number of steps a user takes in a day.

不過，還有些應用，比如悅動跑步、樂動力和平安健康助手，會根據使用者每天行走的步數給予包括現金在內的各種獎勵。
