社交隔离好办法——弹弹桌

A Maryland bar is exploring ways to keep its dine-in customers social distancing. Its solution: "bumper tables."

马里兰州的一家酒吧正在研究如何让顾客在就餐时保持社交距离。它的解决方案是:“弹弹桌”。

In anticipation of its reopening, Fish Tales Bar & Grill in Ocean City commissioned tables for one that ensconce patrons in jumbo inner tubes.

在重新开张之前，海洋城的鱼儿童话烧烤酒吧专门为顾客准备了几张桌子，把顾客安置在巨型轮胎的内胆里。

Diners, seated inside the wheeled tables, can scoot around and bump into each other from 6 feet apart in keeping with social distancing guidelines.

坐在轮式餐桌内的就餐者可以在6英尺的距离内快速移动，相互碰撞，以保持社交距离。

"It's like a big baby walker," Fish Tales co-owner Shawn Harman told us.

“它就像一个巨大的婴儿学步车，”鱼儿童话的共同所有人肖恩·哈曼告诉我们。

"There's a large tractor inner tube that surrounds a doughnut-shaped countertop. You're standing essentially in the middle of the doughnut hole."

“有一个大的牵引车内胎，围绕着一个甜甜圈形状的桌面。你基本上是站在甜甜圈洞的中间。”

The idea came from his wife's cousin, Erin Cermak, who owns a company called Revolution Events in Baltimore.

这个想法来自于他妻子的表妹艾琳·瑟玛克，她在巴尔的摩拥有一家名为革命事件的公司。

When the pandemic started, event planning stopped, so Cermak had to get creative.

疫情开始后，各种策划案都停止了，所以瑟玛克必须想出新办法。

"The idea was basically just trying to get ourselves back to events," she said.

“我的想法最初就是想让我们重新开业，”她说。

"So we kind of drew out 6 [feet] on the ground just to kind of visualize it and then worked from there."

“所以我们在地上画了6英尺，只是为了想象一下，然后从这里开始思考。”

Her company is making inventions such as the tables as well as face shields and Plexiglas dividers.

她的公司正在进行一些发明，比如桌子、面罩和树脂玻璃两脚规。

Harman said he isn't sure how Fish Tales will use the bumper tables.

哈曼说他还不清楚鱼儿童话是如何使用这项弹弹桌的。

Maryland is still limiting restaurants to takeout and delivery orders, with no plans for reopening (whether diners are wrapped in inner tubes or otherwise) until at least the end of May.

马里兰州仍在限制餐馆的外卖和外卖订单，至少在5月底之前没有重新开张的计划(无论食客是否裹着内胎)。

"We primarily see them as kind of a novelty," he said.

“我们主要把它们看作是一种新奇的东西，”他说。

"It's the kind of out-of-the box thinking that you have to do to survive now."

“这是一种打破常规的思维方式，你必须这样做才能生存下去。”
