美國老爸用無人機護送女兒上學

A Tennessee father who used a drone to watch his 8-year-old daughter as she walked to school alone said he wants her to know "dad is always watching."
（美國）田納西州一位父親用無人機“陪伴”8歲的女兒上學。他表示，要讓女兒知道“爸爸一直在看著她”。

Chris Early, who owns a Knoxville video production company, said the camera drone he bought about a month ago came in handy when his 8-year-old daughter, Katie, insisted on walking to school by herself.
克里斯·厄爾利在諾克斯維爾市經營一家視頻制作公司。他說，一個月前，他買了這架攝像無人機，而最近他8歲的女兒凱蒂堅持要自己步行去上學，這架飛行器正好派上用場了。

"She said 'you're not going to come watch me', but I had another idea," Early told WVLT-TV.
厄爾利對當地的電視臺說：“她說‘你不要來跟著我’，但是我自有辦法。”

He said the drone turned plenty of heads upward when he used it to follow Katie on her walk.
他表示，當他派無人機跟隨步行的凱蒂的時候，很多人紛紛抬頭觀看。

"I could see other people looking up and I'm sure Katie was just like aw it's my dad," he said. "It was a way to keep eye on her make sure she was looking both ways. I let her know that dad is always watching."
“我知道其他人都在向上看，我敢肯定，凱蒂一定在想，‘哎，爸爸就是這樣子’，”他說。“這是一種照看她的方式，以保證她走路要小心。我想讓她知道，爸爸一直在看著她。”

Katie said she was not expecting the drone to follow her.
凱蒂表示她原本并不知道有無人機跟著她。

"I was like oh wow! He didn't tell me so I was pretty surprised," she said.
她說：“我的反應就是‘哦！哇！’因為他之前沒告訴我這件事，所以我感到非常驚訝。”
