<p>I'm preparing a presentation for my Mandarin class. The idea is to stage a situation. Basically the point is to create a situation which begins with a Chinese person asking for two foreigners to take a picture for him. Since the situation is to happen in China, this seems very unrealistic, so I decided to start the stage with the Chinese person talking to himself:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>I'd like to take a picture of me and my family, but there is no one around except those two foreigners. I will ask them.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>How do I say that in Mandarin?</p>

since everyone who has a smartphone can take selfie, this situation seems unrealistic. I input "I'd like to take a picture of me and my family, but there is no one around, execpt those two foreigners. I will ask them." in google translate, the result... 我想拍一张我和我的家人的照片，但是周围没有人，把这两个外国人都弄死了。 我会问他们。“ That is funny

This guy doesn’t know how to take a selfie? Seems unlikely.

I find very plausible to ask someone to take a photo for you when it is a photo of you and your family. He's not taking a photo of hilmself only.
