機場"睡眠盒子"助人打發漫長候機時間
All that slithering around on a seat being uncomfortable while waiting for your late-running flight could be about to end.
據英國《每日郵報》9月23日報道，坐在不舒適的座椅上等待晚點的飛機的時代或將結束。
Because Sleepbox has landed - bringing with it the prospect of a decent 40 winks while you wait for take-off.
因爲一種名爲“睡眠盒子”的發明業已登陸機場，等待飛機起飛的人們可以在裏面小憩了。
The specially equipped boxes may take a bit of getting used to, but the weary traveller cannot fail to be impressed.
這種（機場）專門配備的“盒子”可能需要人們花點時間適應，但它對疲憊的旅客不能不留下深刻的印象。
The self-contained mobile bedrooms have been created by Russian architecture company the Arch Group.
這種設備齊全的移動臥室是由俄羅斯建築公司Arch Group發明。
The first, which can be rented out for half-hour periods, have been installed at Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow.
首批“睡眠盒子”現已被安裝在莫斯科謝列梅捷沃國際機場，可供租用半小時。
They represent the basic version made of MDF with a natural ash-wood veneer.
這些盒子的基本款由中密度纖維板配岑木木皮製作而成。
The basic box measures 2.5m by 1.6m with a height of between 2.5m and 3m.
盒子長2.5米，寬1.6米，高度在2.5-3米之間。
Standard features include ventilation and sockets for notebook and mobile phone chargers.
其標準功能包括有通風設備、筆記本電腦插孔和手機充電設備。
There is also space for luggage under the beds which each come with a nightstand.
每個盒子的牀頭還設有牀頭櫃，牀下的空間即可放置行李。
In addition to general lighting, the box has built-in LED reading lamps while windows are equipped with electric-drive blinds for privacy.
除一般照明外，盒子還有內置LED閱讀檯燈，而窗戶也配備電動百葉窗來保護隱私。
Options include matted film on windows; mood lighting LED lamps with changing light colours; built-in TV and touch-screen monitor; wi-fi router; alarm; intercom and safe deposit box.
其他可供選擇的設備還包括：窗戶上的合成影像，可以變化光色的LED情緒檯燈，內置電視和觸摸屏顯示器，Wi - Fi路由器，鬧鐘，對講機和保管箱。
One of its main advantages is its ability to be installed in the airport passenger areas where travellers have to spend hours waiting for their delayed flights or a transfer.
其主要優點之一是它能被安裝在機場客運區域，在這裏旅客得花時間等待他們延誤的航班或轉機。
An Arch Group spokesman said: "Imagine the situation where you are in a modern city, you are not a local resident, and you have not booked a hotel. It is not a comfortable situation because modern aggressive cities give you no opportunity to rest and relax. If you want to sleep while waiting for your plane or train, you face many security and hygiene problems."
Arch Group的一位發言人說：“想象你在一個現代化的城市，你是不本地居民，你還沒有預訂酒店，這將是一很不爽的事兒，因爲競爭激烈的現代城市不給你任何休息和放鬆的機會。 而如果你想在等飛機或火車時睡一覺，那麼你要面對很多安全和衛生方面的問題。
"We believe that urban infrastructure should be more comfortable. For this purpose we have developed Sleepbox. It provides moments of quiet sleep and rest without wasting time in search for a hotel."
“我們認爲，城市基礎設施建設應使人更加舒適。爲此，我們開發出‘睡眠盒子’。它能給人提供片刻的安靜睡眠和休息時間，節省了尋找酒店的時間。”
