With the battle against the novel coronavirus pneumonia going on, many have stayed at home for more than a month. Though it may have been relaxing at first, you’re probably fighting back the urge to break through a wall and do, well, anything!
新冠肺炎疫情防控戰(zhàn)仍在繼續(xù),許多人宅在家已經(jīng)超過一個月了。雖然剛開始很愜意,但你或許已經(jīng)忍不住想要破門而出,找點(diǎn)事情做了。
It’s OK. Calm down. You can’t visit many public spaces right now, but you can use your phone immediately to do it virtually. Many online entertainment resources have been launched to help stay-at-home visitors have fun free of charge, Xinhua News Agency reported.
好吧,冷靜點(diǎn)?,F(xiàn)在還不是去公共場所的時候,但你可以立刻用手機(jī)進(jìn)行一番虛擬游覽。據(jù)新華社報道,多種線上娛樂資源都已向公眾免費(fèi)開放,讓游客們宅家也能樂翻天。
Online exhibitions
線上展覽
Last year, the Palace Museum released a program called the Panoramic Palace Museum on its official website.
去年,故宮博物院在官網(wǎng)上推出了一款名為“全景故宮”的項目。
By putting on a virtual reality (VR) headset, people can take a “tour” of the 600-year-old museum, going slowly without a time restriction. This means you can explore its halls, gardens and courtyards, learn about the stories behind the exhibits and feast your eyes on the museum’s famous snowscape.
戴上虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)的頭戴式設(shè)備后,人們便能不受時間限制,慢慢“游覽”這座擁有600年歷史的博物館。這意味著你能探索故宮內(nèi)的宮殿、花園以及院落,并且了解這些展覽背后的故事,還可以大飽眼福,觀賞故宮著名的雪景。
“During a field visit to the Palace Museum, it is tough to visit some hidden places and view all the palace decorations in detail,” Li Bin, a museum lover from Xi’an, told China Daily. “VR technology has made these experiences possible. It helps me beat the boredom at home.”
“實(shí)地游覽故宮博物院很難去到一些隱蔽之處,并且仔細(xì)觀賞各個宮殿的裝飾,”來自西安的博物館愛好者李冰(音譯)在接受《中國日報》采訪時表示。“虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)技術(shù)令這些體驗成為了可能,幫助我在家里打發(fā)時間?!?/span>

期間,觀眾可以參與網(wǎng)站上的彈幕聊天,在屏幕上實(shí)時分享評論。
