Gender will cease to be mentioned on identity cards in the Netherlands in the next few years because it is "unnecessary" information, the education and culture minister has said.

荷蘭（尼德蘭）身分證再過幾年將不再註明性別，該國教育文化部長表示，這是因為性別屬於「沒有必要」的資訊。

In a letter to parliament seen by AFP on Saturday, Ingrid van Engelshoven said gender categories would be omitted from ID cards "starting from 2024/2025".

法新社週六看到教育部長范恩格斯霍芬在致國會的信函中寫道，「從2024年到2025年開始 」，身分證上將刪除性別欄。

Van Engelshoven said she intended to "limit where possible the unnecessary registration of gender" even if such information would continue to be included on passports in line with European Union regulations.

范恩格斯霍芬表示，她有意對「可能沒有必要的性別登記設限」，但護照上的性別欄仍需按照歐盟規範而保留。

"The Netherlands will not be the first member state whose ID cards omit gender. The German ID card does not include it," the minister wrote.

范恩格斯霍芬寫道：「荷蘭不是第一個取消身分證性別欄的歐盟成員國。德國身分證上也沒有。」

People should be able to "create their own identity and live in full freedom and security", van Engelshoven said.

范恩格斯霍芬表示，民眾應該能夠「創造自我認同，並過著完全自由與安全的生活」。

With the Fourth of July around the corner, veterinarians are urging pet owners to pay close attention to their animals.

隨著7月4日（美國國慶）即將到來，獸醫敦促寵物飼主密切關注自家毛小孩。

The pandemic has canceled many scheduled community fireworks displays. However, veterinarians worry that could lead to more people illegally setting them off at home.

（武漢肺炎）全球大流行使得許多原訂的社區大型煙火會宣告取消。然而，獸醫擔心，這可能反而導致更多人違法在家放煙火。

"Home fireworks are actually less predictable than commercial fireworks," said Dr. M. Leanne Lilly from OSU’s Veterinary Medical Center. "With commercial fireworks, you know when they are going to start. You know when they are going to end. You can look up the schedule. You can prepare for them a lot better than you can not knowing when your neighbor five doors down is going to do them at 5 p.m. or 7 p.m. or 10 p.m."

「家庭煙火確實比大型煙火會更難以預料，」（美國）俄亥俄州立大學獸醫醫療中心的獸醫Ｍ．黎安．利里說。「關於大型煙火會，你知道何時開始與何時結束，你可以查時程表，做好準備，遠比為隔5戶的鄰居不知會在晚上5點、7點還是10點（放煙火），做更好的準備。」

Travelers on the Mexico City subway system often blame authorities for broken-down escalators at subway stops, but Metro officials have another explanation：vast amounts of pee.

搭乘（墨西哥首都）墨西哥城地鐵的乘客，經常因為站內手扶梯故障而怪罪政府，但地鐵局官員有另一套說法：都是尿液太多的關係。

Somehow, urine is penetrating and corroding the drive wheels and mechanisms of the escalators. The Metro system had listed "corrosion due to urine" as one of the top five causes of escalator breakdowns.

不知怎麼搞的，尿液會滲入、侵蝕手扶梯的齒輪和結構。地鐵局早已將「尿液侵蝕」列為手扶梯故障的5大原因之一。

Fermin Ramirez, the system’s assistant manager for rails and facilities, said riders appear to be urinating on escalators at off-peak hours and lightly used stations.

地鐵局軌道及設施部副理弗明．拉米雷茲說，乘客似乎會挑離峰時段及使用率低的車站，在手扶梯上小便。

Most stations have no public bathroom facilities, a fact Twitter users were quick to point out, noting there are not even any pay toilets.

「推特」用戶很快就指出一項事實，即大部分地鐵站根本沒有公廁，連付費洗手間也沒有。

Of the system’s 467 escalators, 22 are out of service on any given day. The biggest problem, subway authorities admit, is that the many escalators are old, or have been damaged by rough use.（AP）

不管任何時候前往，地鐵系統的467組手扶梯都會有22組無法運作。地鐵局坦承，最大的問題是手扶梯老舊，或因粗魯使用而損壞。（美聯社）

It’s a shocking idea：a fabric that can produce small amounts of electricity powered by movement, allowing your clothing to zap microbes and bacteria as you go about your day.

這是一個「電人」的想法：一種能利用活動產生小量電流的布料，讓你的衣服隨著你日常活動，消滅微生物和細菌。

A pair of Japanese firms say that’s exactly what their new product can do, and are touting it for everything from curbing body odour to offering the ideal material for protective gear like face masks.

兩家日本公司說，這正是他們新產品的功能，並且宣稱，從抑制體臭到適合當作像口罩等防護裝備的理想材質，該產品都做得到。

The fabric jointly developed by electronics company Murata Manufacturing and Teijin Frontier, dubbed PIECLEX, generates power from the expansion and contraction of the material itself, including when worn by someone moving around.

這種織物由「村田製作所」以及「帝人富瑞特公司」共同開發，取名為PIECLEX，從穿著者活動時織物的伸縮產生電力。

The low voltages aren’t strong enough to be felt by the wearer, but they effectively stop bacteria and viruses from multiplying inside the fabric, the companies said. （AFP）

這兩家公司說，產生的電量低，不夠強到會讓穿著者感覺到，但是能有效遏止細菌、病毒在織物內增生。（法新社）

Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes team will run an all-black livery on their cars this season in a defiant message against racism.

路易士．漢彌爾頓的梅賽德斯隊，本次賽季車輛將會以全黑塗裝比賽，以傳遞反對種族主義的反抗訊息。

The reigning constructors’ champions have traditionally raced in silver but will adopt the powerful look for the delayed campaign which begins in Austria this weekend.

這個衛冕世界車隊冠軍歷來皆以銀色塗裝比賽，但在延至本週末於奧地利開始的比賽，將採用前述極具震撼力的外觀。

Hamilton has been vocal about the Black Lives Matter movement and said he was overcome with rage following the killing of George Floyd by a white policeman. He attended an anti-racism march in London this month.

漢彌爾頓為「黑人的命也是命」運動發聲，並表示他克服了喬治．佛洛伊德遭白人警察殺死帶來的憤怒，他本月也出席一場倫敦的反種族主義遊行。

"It’s so important that we seize this moment and use it to educate ourselves whether you are an individual, brand or company to make real meaningful changes when it comes to ensuring equality and inclusivity," Hamilton said. "I have personally experienced racism in my life and seen my family and friends experience racism, and I am speaking from the heart when I appeal for change."

「重要的是，我們抓住這個時刻，並且利用它去教育自我，無論你是個體、品牌、公司，都要在確保平等與包容性方面，做出真實有意義的改變」，漢彌爾頓說，「我個人的人生中經歷過種族主義，也目睹我的家人與朋友經歷種族主義，當我呼籲大眾改變時，我是發自內心地說。」

Male coronavirus survivors are being urged to give blood because of evidence that men produce more antibodies, which could make their plasma a more valuable treatment.

男性冠狀病毒倖存者被敦促去捐血，因為有證據顯示，男性會產生更多的抗體，這可能使他們的血漿成為更有價值的治療方法。

The research, by NHS Blood and Transplant （NHSBT）, suggests men may hold the key in the battle against the virus.

英國國民保健署血液和移植部門進行的這項研究顯示，男人可能在對抗這種病毒的戰鬥中佔據關鍵地位。

Health chiefs are urging men who have had Covid-19 to come forward and donate blood as part of a national trial to see whether donations can boost the survival of the sickest patients.

衛生部門負責人敦促那些患有武漢肺炎（新型冠狀病毒病，Covid-19）的男性主動捐血，參與一項全國性試驗，以測試捐獻的血漿能否提高重症患者的存活率。

Their research shows that 43 percent of male donors had blood plasma rich enough in antibodies, compared with 29 percent of women.

他們的研究顯示，43％的男性捐贈者血漿中抗體含量足夠高，而女性比例只有29％。

Men with Covid-19 tend to produce more antibodies than women with the virus because men are more likely to become seriously ill.

罹患武漢肺炎後，男性產生的抗體通常比女性多，因為男性更可能發展成重症。

World War II labor shortages had stretched the Philadelphia Transportation Co. to the limit by July 1944, and so the company decided it had no choice if the city’s buses, trolleys and subway were to keep running：It promoted eight black men to positions previously reserved for whites.

到了1944年7月，（美國賓州）費城運輸公司已經被二次世界大戰所導致的缺工逼到極限，該公司因而決定，若要讓該市的公車、電車與地下鐵持續運行，就得拔擢8名黑人男性出任原本保留給白人的職位，此外別無選擇。

The racial fallout brought the city to a tense halt. A worker insurrection slowed production of critical supplies for troops overseas and prompted an Army employee to attack one of the nation’s most prominent symbols of freedom：the Liberty Bell.

此舉的種族歧視後果導致費城在緊張中停擺。工人暴動延宕重要的海外部隊補給品生產，並促使一名陸軍雇員攻擊美國最重要的自由象徵之一：費城自由鐘。

The events made for a "new and different Philadelphia Story," two National Urban League officials wrote at the time — a story with particular resonance more than 75 years later as thousands protest systemic racism and police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody.

（倡導非裔民權的非營利組織）「全國城市聯盟」的兩名官員當時曾如此寫道：「這些事件造就一個『新穎與不一樣的費城故事』」——一個在超過75年後讓人特別有共鳴、遭警察拘留的喬治．佛洛伊德死後有數千人抗議有系統的種族歧視與警察殘暴的故事。

There is a truth universally acknowledged by drivers in India： honk your horn loud enough and the traffic lights will surely change to green.

印度駕駛人都曉得一個道理：只要喇叭按得夠響，交通號誌絕對會變綠燈。

But, fed up with impatient drivers inflicting a deafening roar every time they are forced to stop, police in Mumbai have come up with a new system to punish those who cannot wait at traffic lights in silence.

然而，孟買警方受夠駕駛人每次被迫停車，就會出現震耳欲聾的喇叭聲，因而設計出一套新系統，來懲罰不能安靜等待號誌轉換的駕駛人。

The new system was quite simple： "Honk more, wait more."

新系統相當簡單易懂：「你愈叭，等愈久。」

Mumbai police installed a rigged traffic light system to tackle the problem of "reckless honkers", which resets the red traffic signal every time the sound of car horns goes above 85 decibels. For particularly honk-happy drivers, it could mean a very long wait at the lights.

孟買警方安裝一套經過改造的交通號誌系統，來處理「莽撞喇叭狂」問題；只要偵測到85分貝以上的汽車喇叭聲，紅燈就會從頭開始。對於不按不爽的駕駛人，可能得在交通號誌下等到天荒地老。

Mumbai was ranked as the fourth most congested city in the world, according to the TomTom traffic index, with 65% congestion and drivers spending an average of eight days and 17 hours in traffic each year.（The Guardian）

TomTom交通指數報告顯示，孟買被列為全球最壅塞城市第4名，壅塞比率達65％，駕駛人平均每年花費8天17小時塞在路上。（衛報）

A scurrying robot dog named K9 dispenses hand sanitizer to curious children and wary shoppers － one of the more unexpected measures Thai malls are taking as the kingdom relaxes virus restrictions.

一隻名為K9的機器狗來回走動，向好奇的孩童、一臉狐疑的購物者提供消毒潔手液—這是泰國商場在放寬防疫限制之際，採取出人意料措施的又一例。

The hi-tech hound is controlled using 5G, a technology promising super-fast internet speeds with immediate reaction times that is still in the initial stages of roll out in Thailand.

這隻高科技狗是利用才剛在泰國推出、可望帶來超快網路速度的「第五代行動通訊技術」（5G）控制。

Mimicking an excited puppy, K9 roams around the popular Central World mall in downtown Bangkok, drawing the attention of delighted children eager to get gel from a bottle attached to its back.

K9就像一隻興奮的狗狗，在曼谷市區熱門的中央世界購物商場內來回遊走，吸引開心的孩童注意，爭相要從固定在它背上的瓶子中擠出消毒凝膠。

K9’s 5G-powered comrades include ROC, which checks temperatures, and LISA, a customer service-bot.

K9的5G動力夥伴還有負責量體溫的「ROC」，以及客服機器狗「LISA」。

"For K9 especially, people just think it’s really cute," said Petra Saktidejbhanubandh, a marketing officer for mobile operator Advanced Info Services （AIS）, adding they hope to dispel any fiction-fuelled fear of a robot takeover. （AFP）

The consumer-products giant Johnson & Johnson said on Friday that it would no longer sell certain products that are advertised as dark-spot reducers but have been used by some purchasers to lighten skin tone.

消費品大廠嬌生週五表示，該公司不會再生產標榜可減少黑斑，卻常被購買者用於提亮皮膚色調的某些產品。

"Conversations over the past few weeks highlighted that some product names or claims on our Neutrogena and Clean & Clear dark-spot reducer products represent fairness or white as better than your own unique skin tone," the company said in a statement. "This was never our intention — healthy skin is beautiful skin."

「在過去幾週的對話，凸顯我們『露得清』部分產品的名稱或主張，與『可伶可俐』淡化黑斑產品，傳遞了潔白或白色比你原本獨特的皮膚色調更好的意涵」，這家公司透過聲明說。「這從來不是我們的意圖，健康膚色就是美麗的膚色」。

Last week, Band-Aid, which is owned by Johnson & Johnson, announced it would start selling bandages meant to match different skin tones.

上週，嬌生擁有的邦迪公司宣布將開始販售符合不同皮膚色調的繃帶。

"We are committed to launching a range of bandages in light, medium and deep shades of Brown and Black skin tones that embrace the beauty of diverse skin. We are dedicated to inclusivity and providing the best healing solutions, better representing you," Band-Aid said in an Instagram post.

「我們致力於推出範圍包含淺、中、深棕色與黑色的繃帶，擁抱多元膚色的美。我們盡力做到擁有包容性，與提供最好的治療方式，更好地代表你」，邦迪在Instagram貼文中說。

Thrill seekers in Japan will soon get to enjoy their favorite roller coasters again now that amusement parks around the country are reopening.

由於全國各地的遊樂園重新開放，日本尋求刺激的人將很快再次享受他們最喜歡的雲霄飛車。

But there’s one request they might struggle with：No screaming.

但是有一個規定卻可能讓他們很掙扎：不許尖叫。

With Japan lifting the state of emergency this week, a group of major theme park operators has introduced a set of guidelines on how to ensure the safety of both guests and staff in the face of Covid-19.

隨著日本本週解除緊急狀態，面對武漢肺炎（新型冠狀病毒病，Covid-19），一群大型主題公園經營者引入一套有關如何確保客人和員工安全的準則。

Some items will likely take visitors by surprise. Namely, a suggestion that theme parks encourage visitors riding outdoor attractions, including roller coasters, to avoid shouting or cheering － a tough ask, given how wild some of the country’s rides are.

有些規定可能會讓遊客感到驚訝。也就是說，其中一條指導方針建議遊樂園，敦促乘坐雲霄飛車等戶外設施的遊客避免大聲喊叫或歡呼─考慮到日本一些雲霄飛車的驚悚程度，這還真是難為人。

The guidelines also say that if it’s difficult for some employees to wear masks due to the nature of their work － for example entertainers, such as haunted house staff － they should keep at least one meter away from visitors.

該指南還指出，如果某些員工由於工作性質而不方便戴口罩─例如，鬼屋裡扮演鬼的工作人員等演藝人員─他們應該和遊客保持至少1公尺的距離。

The government vehicles began appearing in Indonesian towns and cities in May, equipped with loudspeakers blaring a blunt message. "You can have sex. You can get married. But don’t get pregnant," health workers said.

裝了揚聲器的政府交通車5月開始出現在印尼村落與城市，傳遞直白的訊息。「你可以做愛，但是不要懷孕」，衛生工作人員說。

Indonesian officials are worried about a possible unintended consequence of the country’s coronavirus restrictions：a post-pandemic baby boom.

印尼官員憂心，全國的武漢肺炎封鎖措施可能帶來意料之外的後果：大流行後的嬰兒潮。

In April, as people across Indonesia stayed home, about 10 million married couples stopped using contraception, according to the National Population and Family Planning Agency, which collects data from clinics and hospitals that distribute birth control.

從分送生育控制工具的診所和醫院蒐集數據的「國家人口和家庭計畫署」指出，當全印尼的人們4月間都待在家裡時，約1000萬對已婚伴侶停止使用避孕措施。

Many women couldn’t get access to contraceptives because their health care provider was closed. Others did not want to risk a visit, for fear of catching the virus.

許多婦女無法取得避孕工具，因為她們的保健提供機構關門了。其他人則是因為憂心感染病毒，不想冒險出門。

Hasto Wardoyo, who heads the family planning agency, has estimated that there could be 370,000 to 500,000 extra births early next year.

領導這個家庭計畫機構的哈斯托．瓦爾多約預估，明年初可能會有37萬到50萬名計畫外的新生兒。

For over two millennia the ancient city of Petra has towered majestically over the Jordanian desert. Today its famed rose-red temples hewn into the rockface lie empty and silent.

古城彼特拉在約旦沙漠中雄偉矗立2000多年，如今城內鑿入瑰紅岩壁中的著名神殿，一片冷清死寂。

As the novel coronavirus spread around the world, Jordanian authorities imposed a lockdown, and the last tourists left on March 16, a day before the Hashemite kingdom closed its borders.

隨著新型冠狀病毒蔓延全球，約旦當局實施封鎖措施，最後一批觀光客於3月16日出境後，約旦（哈希米王國）隔天旋即對外關閉邊界。

"It’s the first time I’ve seen this place so empty. Usually there are thousands of tourists," said Nayef Hilalat, 42, who has worked as a guardian at the ancient archaeological site for a decade.

在這座考古遺址擔任警衛10年、42歲的希拉拉特說：「這是我第一次看到此地如此空蕩，以往這裡都會有數千名觀光客。」

"Every year at this time the place would be buzzing with people," he lamented, wearing a khaki cap bearing the Jordanian flag. "Today all we can hear is the birds singing."

他頭戴著有約旦國旗圖案的卡其帽，感歎道：「往年此時，這裡都會充滿嘈雜的人聲 ，如今只能聽見鳥鳴。」

One of the seven wonders of the world, and classified as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1985, Petra was once the capital of the nomadic Nabataean Arab peoples and dates back to at least 200 years BC.

被列為世界7大奇景之一的彼特拉，1985年獲聯合國教科文組織（UNESCO）列入世界遺產。彼特拉曾為遊牧民族納巴泰阿拉伯人的都城，歷史至少可追溯到公元前200年。

With the postponed competitions now more than a year away, some parts of the stadiums built for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics are being dismantled for safety reasons.

在被延後的奧運賽事距今還有1年多的情況下，為了2020年東京奧運會與帕運會所打造的體育場，某些部分基於安全理由被拆除。

According to the organizers, they are only taking things apart that could be dangerous to leave in place, such as temporary stands, until the Olympics and Paralympics are held next summer.

根據東奧組委會，他們只拆掉那些若留在原地可能會構成危險的設施，例如臨時看台，直到奧運會與帕運會在明年夏天登場為止。

On June 9, dismantled stands were removed by a crane at Aomi Urban Sports Park in Tokyo’s Koto Ward, where three-on-three basketball and sports climbing competitions are scheduled to be held.

6月9日，預定舉行3對3籃球賽與運動攀岩賽的（日本東京）江東區青海都會運動公園已被拆掉的看台，被起重機移除。

Peacocks, ostriches and baboons joined in an animal baby boom at Palestinian tiny Qalqilya Zoo during the coronavirus closure as they let nature take its course.

巴勒斯坦小型動物園「蓋勒吉利耶」在疫情關閉期間，孔雀、鴕鳥和狒狒都順其自然地迎來一波動物嬰兒潮。

Fifteen animals were born during the two months that it shut its doors to visitors - three times more than usual, zoo officials said.

園方人員說，在不開放遊客的2個月間，15隻動物陸續出生，是平常的3倍。

"The coronavirus spread at the same time that trips were expected at the zoo. They were cancelled and therefore the animals started to give birth," said zoo veterinarian Sami Khader.

動物園獸醫沙米．克哈德說：「新型冠狀病毒流行期間適逢動物園觀光潮，但行程都取消了，動物就開始生產。」

The ostrich that laid eggs in normal years rarely had the chance to incubate them properly. But this year she produced 11 eggs and because there weren’t people around her, she was able to build a nest.

往年，鴕鳥產卵後很少有機會好好孵化，但今年牠不僅產下11顆卵，還能築巢，因為身邊沒有遊客。

In the monkey enclosure, usually bedeviled by miscarriages, one baboon gave birth, although she had little inclination to take care of the baby. "My father had to bring him to our house," said the vet’s daughter, Hind Khader. "I took care of him and gave him milk."

在猴科園區，經常受流產所苦的一隻狒狒順利生產，但牠沒有想要照顧孩子的傾向。獸醫的女兒辛德．克哈德說：「我父親必須把幼狒狒帶回家，由我負責照顧和餵奶。」

Working mothers in Europe and the United States are taking on most of the extra housework and childcare created by lockdown - and many are struggling to cope, a survey showed.

一份調查顯示，歐洲和美國因封鎖措施造成的額外家務和照顧小孩工作，是由職業婦女承擔，且許多女性苦於應付這些負擔。

Women with children now spend an average 65 hours a week on the unpaid chores - nearly a third more than fathers - according to the Boston Consulting Group, which questioned parents in five countries.

根據「波士頓諮詢集團」針對5個國家父母所做的問卷調查，有小孩的婦女現在平均一週花65小時在無支薪的家務雜事上—比父親所花時間多了將近3分之1。

"Women have been doing too much household work for too long, and this crisis is pushing them to a point that’s simply unsustainable," Rachel Thomas, of U.S.-based women’s rights group LeanIn.Org, said in response to the data.

設於美國的婦女權益團體LeanIn.Org人員湯馬斯回應這項調查結果，表示「長久以來，婦女一直做太多的家事，這場危機正將她們推向就要撐不下去的臨界點」。

He started at 2 a.m. on Monday and did not stop cleaning for the next 10 hours. When an organized group of neighbors arrived later that morning to start clearing the damage, they found that Gwynn had already done most of the work.

他從週一凌晨2點開始，不停歇地清掃了10個小時。當一個由鄰里組織的團體早上抵達，準備開始清掃時，發現葛溫已經完成大部分的工作。

Gwynn is an 18-year-old high school senior. Matt Block saw Gwynn’s story on the news and decided to give him his prized 2004 red Mustang convertible. Block said the car is one he wanted since he was a child, but these days he is only using it occasionally. He saw Gwynn ask for some car buying advice on Facebook, and Block decided to offer up his sports car.

A 100-year-old Indonesian woman has recovered from coronavirus, making her the country’s oldest survivor of the deadly respiratory illness.

印尼一名百歲婦女已從冠狀病毒疾病中康復，使她成為這種致命呼吸道疾病在該國最高齡的復元病患。

Kamtim, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, was discharged from hospital this week after a month of treatment in her hometown Surabaya, Indonesia’s second-biggest city, officials said.

官員表示，與許多印尼人一樣只取單名的凱姆婷，在家鄉印尼第2大城泗水經過1個月治療，本週已經出院。

East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa said she hoped Kamtim’s story would give a boost to at-risk residents － the illness is especially dangerous for older people and those with chronic conditions.

東爪哇省省長柯菲法表示，她希望凱姆婷的故事能激勵高危人群─這種疾病對於罹患慢性病的老年人特別危險。

Born in 1920, Kamtim was taken to hospital last month after showing symptoms and she was later confirmed to have contracted the virus.

1920年出生的凱姆婷，上個月出現症狀被送往醫院，後來確診感染病毒。

Indonesia has confirmed more than 26,000 cases of coronavirus and 1,613 deaths. Researchers estimate the true number of virus infections and fatalities is several times the official toll.

Diners in a Maryland beach town are bouncing back into dining out amid the coronavirus pandemic with a little help from inflatable inner tubes on wheels.

在（美國）馬里蘭州一座海邊小鎮，拜一種裝上滑輪的充氣橡皮圈所賜，食客可在新型冠狀病毒肺炎流行時，再次上餐廳吃飯。

The so-called "bumper tables" were rolled out at Fish Tales, a restaurant in Ocean City. The inflated tube tables were created to allow people to practice social distancing while eating and talking in outdoor settings.

大洋城一家名為「魚兒故事」的餐館，推出所謂的「碰碰桌」。創造出這種充氣橡皮圈餐桌，是為了讓人們在戶外設施用餐和談話時，練習保持社交距離。

The devices feature a hole in the middle to accommodate people around 1 to 2 meters tall. With wheels attached to the bottom, people can move around easily while maintaining a 2-meter distance from each other.

碰碰桌的中間開了一個洞，可容納身高1至2公尺的食客。由於下方裝有方便移動的滑輪，顧客可在與彼此維持2公尺距離的情況下輕鬆移動。
