人体模特

(réntǐ mótè) 

A: I saw some news that said a famous US three-star restaurant has added some mannequins to remind diners to maintain social distancing all the time. 

我看新闻上说美国某家著名三星级餐厅增加了人体模特,意在提醒食客们保持社交距离。

(wǒkàn xīnwén shànɡshuō měiɡuó mǒujiā zhùmínɡ sānxīnɡjí cāntīnɡ zēnɡjiāle réntǐmótè, yìzài tíxǐnɡ shíkèmén bǎochí shèjiāo jùlí.) 

B: But having dinner together while seated next to some fake people is really weird. 

可是旁边坐着个假人,共进晚餐也是很奇怪的啊。

(kěshì pánɡbiān zuòzheɡè jiǎrén, ɡònɡjìn wǎncān yěshì hěnqíɡuàide ā.)

A: It's better than getting infected with the virus. The mannequins are wearing exquisite clothing, so having them keep you company is pleasing to the eyes. 

总比感染病毒好。人体模特身着精致的服装,陪着你,也挺养眼的。

(zǒnɡbǐ ɡǎnrǎn bìnɡdú hǎo. réntǐ mótè shēnzhuó jīnɡzhìde fúzhuānɡ, péizhenǐ, yětǐnɡ yǎnɡyǎnde.)

B: That's true. While diners are maintaining distance and having fun, they can also take some pictures as a memento. Restaurants really are trying their best to resume business. 

那倒也是,在食客中隔开距离,开心一笑之余还能拍照留念,餐厅为了复工也真是拼了。
