日本酒店推出'灯笼聚餐'

It’s called the lantern partition, and when you sit down at the table, you slide underneath it.

当你坐在桌边时，会被笼罩在"灯笼隔板"之下。

While the top section is a traditionally styled chochin (Japanese paper lantern), part-way down it transitions to clear plastic, allowing you and your dining companions to remove your masks while you eat but still have a protective barrier that allows you to see one another, all without taking up any extra space on the table.

隔板顶部是一个传统风格的提灯(日式纸灯笼)，下半部分是透明塑料，这样你和用餐伙伴摘下口罩吃饭时仍然有保护屏障，你们可以看到对方，而不会占用桌子上的任何额外空间。

The partitions have recently been installed in the restaurant of Hoshinoya Tokyo, a luxury hotel in Tokyo’s Otemachi neighborhood that’s part of the Hoshino Resorts group.

近日，位于东京大手町地区的星野集团旗下豪华酒店虹夕诺雅•东京在其餐厅内安装了灯笼隔板。

Each lantern partition is 102 centimeters tall and 75 centimeters in diameter, with its own light source to keep your face and food illuminated.

每个灯笼隔板高102厘米，直径75厘米，带有独立光源，能照亮用餐者的脸和食物。

Ordinarily, the restaurant is only open to people staying at the hotel, but for the Lantern Banquet they may invite outside guests to join them in this unique dining experience.

酒店餐厅通常只对住店客人开放，但酒店的灯笼宴可能会对非住店客人开放，邀请客人感受这一独特的用餐体验。
