新奥尔良为今年的狂欢节发挥了创意，用花车来庆祝

New Orleans is known for many things. Amazing food. Friendly people. Bourbon Street. Jazz. The French Quarter. Mardi Gras.

新奥尔良以许多事情而闻名：神奇的食物、友好的人、波旁街、爵士乐、法国区、狂欢节。

One of the things that make New Orleans such a wonderful city is its resiliency and the ability to pull joy from tragedy. It was seen in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and it can be seen in the aftermath of COVID-19.

让新奥尔良成为如此美好的城市的原因之一是它的韧性和从悲剧中汲取欢乐的能力。我们可以在卡特里娜飓风和COVID-19之后看到它。

The announcement that Mardi Gras parades would be canceled for 2021 happened in November 2020. After the 2020 Mardi Gras became the first super-spreader event in the US, the decision was made to be safe and forgo New Orleans' iconic celebration in 2021. Hearts broke all over the Big Easy at the news.

2020年11月，政府宣布取消2021年的狂欢节游行。2020年的狂欢节成为美国首个超级传播者活动后，为了安全起见，人们决定放弃2021年新奥尔良的标志性庆祝活动。听到这个消息，城里的人都心碎了。

But in addition to the loss of revelry for visitors, no Mardi Gras meant a loss of revenue for the artists and musicians that make Mardi Gras possible.

但是除了失去了游客的狂欢之外，没有狂欢节也意味着使狂欢节成为可能的艺术家和音乐家的收入减少。
