我是怎样在社交隔离期间花100美元建一个免下车汽车影院和朋友们嗨

这是一篇翻译练习。

原文如下，是清晨朗读会第1460期文章。大概意思是，在冠状病毒疫情期间，有一个人想和朋友一起玩，又不想传播病毒，所以就想出一个办法——在自家后院建了一个免下车汽车影院。

How I Built A $100 Drive-In Movie Theater To Hang Out With Friends While Social Distancing

By David Tracy

In an attempt to hang out with friends without risking the spread of coronavirus, I’ve built a drive-in movie theater in my backyard. Here’s how I did it.

Right now, Michigan’s strict Stay-At-Home order limits travel between households, so I can’t hang out with my friends—only virtually. But even after the governor’s order lifts, it’s likely that federal social distancing guidelines will remain in place for quite some time. When that happens, I want to find a way to hang out with my friends without spreading this awful virus.

I don’t want to be limited to active, outdoor activities, because sometimes it’s nice to just chill with people and do something that requires very little thought. Like watching a movie, for example. We could do that virtually, but to me, that’s lost its luster by now. Having folks over to watch inside my house wouldn’t really work, because I just don’t have the square footage or the screen size to allow us all to stay six feet apart. Plus, being in the same enclosed space isn’t great.

The ticket, then, is the drive-in movie theater—a relic of the past that, through a horrible tragedy, is getting its chance at redemption. I just built a drive-in at my house, and it is awesome. Here’s what I did to make it a reality.

我是怎样在社交隔离期间花100美元建一个免下车汽车影院和朋友们嗨的

作者：David Tracy

为了不冒着传播冠状病毒的风险和朋友们出去玩，我在自家的后院整了一个免下车汽车影院。我是这么做的。

现在，密歇根州严厉的居家隔离令限制了家庭之间互相串门儿，所以我没法儿和朋友们出去玩儿，除了在虚拟世界里。但是即使州长的限制令被解除，看起来联邦政府的社交距离指导建议还会持续相当长一段时间。如果真是那样，我想找到一种方法，既能和朋友们出去玩，又不会传播这种可怕的病毒。

我不想局限于活跃的户外活动，因为有时候和人们在一起，做一些不需要太多思考的事情也是很好的。比如看电影，我们可以在线上一起看，但是现在，对我来说那简直乏味极了。

把大家都找来我家看电影是不现实的，因为我家没有足够大的面积也没有足够大的荧幕可以让所有人保持六英尺的距离。另外，在同一个密闭空间里也不是很好。

解决办法就是，免下车汽车影院——一个历史产物，通过一场可怕的灾难，正在获得救赎的机会。我刚在家建了一个汽车影院，简直太棒了。我就是这样将它变成了现实。

不得不说，美国人还真挺会玩的！
