You Can Experience Camping Like Never Before With These Tear-Shaped Tents

有了这些泪珠状的帐篷，你可以拥有从未有过的露营体验

While this summer is A LOT different from any other, people have been trying to make the best with what they’ve got. Many have been looking for nice local places they could visit and entertaining activities they could engage in while still practising social distancing and keeping themselves safe. For instance, some people from Belgium have been spending their holiday camping raindrop-shaped tents that are hanging from trees!

尽管这个夏天与以往任何时候都不同，但人们一直都在努力把自己拥有的东西做到最好。许多人都在寻找可以参观的地方，在保持社交距离和安全的同时，他们可以参加娱乐活动。例如，一些来自比利时的人在他们的假期露营，把雨滴状的帐篷挂在树上!

This summer, Belgians can take staycations in these hanging tree tents

今年夏天，比利时人可以在这些悬挂在树上的帐篷里度假

A collection of these pear-shaped tents were first designed in the 1990s by a Dutch designer Dré Wapenaar to support environmental activists who sought to stop trees being felled. Fast forward to now, anyone can rent it.

这些雨滴形帐篷最初是由荷兰设计师Dre Wapenaar在20世纪90年代设计的，目的是支持那些试图阻止树木被砍伐的环保人士。快进到现在，任何人都可以租到它。

These tents are currently hanging in a forest loctaed in Borgloon, Belgium

这些帐篷目前悬挂在比利时波隆的森林里

Each of these quirky tents is equipped with a bed, a bench, storage, windows, and a ladder to help guests climb in and out of the tent

每个奇特的帐篷都配有一张床、一张长凳、储物柜、窗户和一个梯子，帮助客人爬进爬出帐篷

“The tents are fully booked every summer, but this year, the bookings went much faster. If we had more tents, they would also be taken every day of July and August. I believe it’s because of the government’s guidelines to travel in your own country. So people started searching for alternatives to stay somewhere,” the head of tourism for the eastern town of Borgloon, Katrien Houbey, told Bangkok Post.

“每年夏天帐篷都被预订一空，但今年预订的速度更快。如果我们有更多的帐篷，7月和8月每天也会被拿走。我相信这是因为政府的旅游指南。所以人们开始寻找其他的住宿选择。”泰国东部城市波隆的旅游主管Katrien Houbey告诉《曼谷邮报》。

In order to spend a night in one of these tents you have to pay around $82

要在这样的帐篷里住一晚，你需要支付大约82美元

“My tents are too expensive to produce (commercially). I should have designed it in a different way if I wanted to sell many of them… I am not a good product designer, I am an artist,” the designer Wapenaar told Reuters.

“我的帐篷太贵了(商业上)无法生产。如果我想卖出更多的话，我就应该换一种方式来设计它……我不是一个好的产品设计师，我是一个艺术家，”设计师瓦帕纳尔告诉路透社。

The designer has some more similar tents in the Belgian town of Bornem, near Antwerp, in a sculpture park in the United States, at a bed-and-breakfast in France and at a campsite in the Netherlands

这位设计师在安特卫普附近的比利时小镇博尔内姆、美国的一个雕塑公园、法国的一个住宿加早餐旅馆以及荷兰的一个露营地都有类似的帐篷
