An Italian architect designed a bed with built-in speakers and a retractable, 70-inch TV screen — but it'll cost you more than a new car if you want to own it

Cancel all engagements -- a bed made for box-set binges is coming your way

CNN

For fans of Netflix and chill, the perfect bed is coming your way.

Ideal for box set binges, the "second generation smart-bed" designed by Italian architect Fabio Vinella and furniture brand Hi-Interiors comes with an HD projector and 70-inch theater screen, built-in sound system and invisible speakers.

retractable

表示“可缩进的；可拉回的”，英文解释为“that can be moved or pulled back into the main part of sth”，如：a knife with a retractable blade 弹簧刀，举个🌰：

A 20,000-seat arena with a retractable roof is planned.

一个可容纳2万名观众、带伸缩顶棚的竞技场正在规划中。

Netflix and chill

Netflix 大家应该比较熟悉，网飞公司；而Netflix and chill实际上是个网络流行的俚语，英文解释为："Netflix and chill" is an Internet slang term used either as an invitation to watch Netflix together or as a euphemism for sexual activity, either as part of a romantic partnership or as casual sex or as a groupie invitation.

By 2015, "Netflix and chill" had become an Internet meme and its use on teenage social media was commonly described as "sexual" by Fusion.

euphemism

euphemism /ˈjuːfɪˌmɪzəm/ 表示“委婉语；委婉说法”，英文解释为“a polite word or expression that you use instead of a more direct one to avoid shocking or upsetting someone”举个🌰：

‘Pass away’ is a euphemism for ‘die’.

“去世”是“死”的委婉语。

binge

表示“（尤指在饮食和花钱方面）无节制的狂热行为，狂欢，放纵，狂闹”，英文解释为“an occasion when an activity is done in an extreme way, especially eating, drinking, or spending money”，如：a drinking/eating/spending binge 狂饮/暴食/滥花钱，举个🌰：

He went on a five day drinking binge.

他连续5天狂饮。

"The design of the HiCan and the new HiBed is a contemporary cocoon equipped with state-of-the-art technology for wellness, entertainment and health monitoring that syncs seamlessly with your smart device," design firm Hi-Interiors said in a press release.

cocoon

表示“安全宁静的地方；避风港”，英文解释为“a safe, quiet place”，如：the warm, safe cocoon of childhood 童年生活的温馨安逸、备受呵护。

还有“保护层，隔护层; 与世隔绝”的含义，If you are living in a cocoon, you are in an environment in which you feel protected and safe, and sometimes isolated from everyday life. 如：her innocent desire to envelop her beloved in a cocoon of love 她用爱呵护心上人的纯真愿望。

sync

sync /sɪŋk/ 表示“（使）同步；（使）同时发生”，英文解释为“to arrange for two or more things to happen at exactly the same time, or to happen at the same time or in the same way as something else”举个🌰：

The hardest part was syncing the music to the video.

最难的部分就是使音乐和图像同步。

类似的：synchronizeto表示“（使）同时发生，（使）同步”，，英文解释为“happen at exactly the same time, or to arrange for two or more actions to happen at exactly the same time”举个🌰：

Synchronize the score with the film action.

让配乐和电影动作同步。

熟词僻义，score表示“乐谱”（a written or printed copy of a piece of music, especially for a large group of performers, or the music itself），如：a musical score 乐谱。

score也可以指“（电影、戏剧等的）配乐”（the music written for a film, play, etc.），如：a film score 电影配乐。

The bed also has dimmable lighting, an adjustable base, motorized blackout curtains, voice control and a built-in wifi connection -- features, the designers say, that interact to ensure a user gets a better rest.

dimmable

dim本身作动词指“（使）变暗淡，（使）变昏暗”，英文解释为“if a light dims, or if you dim it, it becomes less bright”，举个🌰：

The lights in the theatre began to dim.

剧院里的灯光开始暗下来。

补充：dim your headlights/lights表示“把汽车前灯调为近光（尤其当对面有车开来的时候）”，英文解释：to lower the angle of the front lights of your car, especially when someone is driving towards you. 也可以用dip替换dim.

此处dimmable表示“可调光；可调光暗”，英文解释为“Able to be dimmed; able to have illumination decreased in brightness.”

motorized

表示“有引擎的；机动的；有马达的”，英文解释为“specially fitted with an engine or motor”，如：a motorized wheelchair 机动轮椅，motorized vehicles 机动车辆。

blackout curtains

blackout curtains 遮光帘；blackout本身也可以表示“不透光窗罩（或窗帘）”，常用复数（a covering for windows that stops light being seen from outside, or light from outside from coming into a room）

此外，纽约再次发生大规模停电（Power Restored to Manhattan's West Side After Major Blackout）一文中也用blackout来表示“停电，断电”，英文解释为“a period of darkness caused by a failure of the electricity supply”。

The bed, they say, also monitors the user's movements and automatically adjusts the temperature according to his or her preferences.

The bed's "personalized concierge service" starts when you wake up -- including a smart clock, weather updates and traffic information.

concierge service

门房服务，礼宾服务。concierge本身有如下含义：

1）表示“（专为客人介绍旅游景点、饭店等的）酒店服务台职员”，英文解释为“someone in a hotel whose job is to help guests by telling them about places to visit, restaurants to eat in etc”；

2）表示“看门人，楼房管理员（法国）”，英文解释为“someone who looks after a block of apartments and who checks who is going in and coming out, especially in France”；

For the health conscious, the bed is also fitted with biometric monitors that can track a user's weight.

biometric

表示“生物特征识别的；生物统计的”，英文解释为“relating to technology that can be used to measure things such as people’s eyes or fingerprints. These measurements can be kept on computer and then used to check someone’s identity , for example when they show a passport at an airport”，如：biometric data 生物特征数据；biometric identifiers such as fingerprints or iris patterns 指纹、虹膜等生物识别码。

"We dream of a world in which our living space will listen to us more and more and will be the key to our well-being, becoming our next and ultimate walk-in smart device," Hi-Interiors founders Ivan and Gianni Tallarico said in a press release.

walk-in

表示“（存储空间）大得人能走进去的，步入式的”，英文解释为“used to refer to a space used for storing things that is large enough for a person to enter and walk around in”，如：a walk-in wardrobe 步入式衣橱，衣帽间，a walk-in refrigerator 步入式冰箱；

表示“无需提前预约的”，英文解释为“used to refer to a place that you can go to without having already made an arrangement”，举个🌰：
