疫情让养老院的老人倍感孤独，因为家人只能隔着玻璃探望。美国德州的一家企业为养老院老人打造了一款别出心裁的“拥抱亭”，让老人可以和家人安全地拥抱。

Some Texans are trying to relieve the loneliness and isolation that many elderly Americans are feeling during the coronavirus pandemic by creating safe “hugging booths.”

一些德克萨斯人试图缓解许多美国老人在新冠疫情期间的孤独和隔离感，就发明了安全的“拥抱亭”。

Amber Crenshaw and her husband Steve Crenshaw own a business called Handle With Care and work with Unlimited Care Cottages, an assisted living facility. Amber said she and her husband designed and built the hugging booths after one of the nurses suggested the idea.

安柏·克伦肖和她的丈夫斯蒂夫·克伦肖开办了一家与“无限关怀小屋”养老院有合作的企业，名为“用心善待”。安柏说，在养老院的一名护士提出建议后，她和丈夫设计建造了这种拥抱亭。

"The residents have been, just so filled with joy,” Amber said. “It was one of our resident’s birthdays. We were able to set the booth up for their birthday, and family members were able to come in and give birthday hugs. It has really lifted the spirits of the assisted living residents.”

安柏说：“养老院居民乐开了花。那天是其中一位居民的生日。为了庆祝生日，我们建造了拥抱亭，家人得以前来拥抱寿星。拥抱亭让养老院居民们精神大振。”
