Beijing offers high tech power naps to journalists at the Games
Reuters
Journalists reporting on the Winter Olympics are being offered the chance to sleep on the job thanks to high tech cabins at the Beijing media centre.
The 20 Sleep Rest Cabins, developed by China's Keeson Technology Corp, allow reporters to pop in for a power nap of up to an hour with a simple scan of their mobile phone.
The spacious cabins contain the same bed Olympians are sleeping on in the Athletes' Village with the user able to adjust their position and with a remote control or mobile phone.
"These sleep cabins are especially designed for the Beijing Winter Games," company representative Zhao Yufeng told Reuters at the Beijing main media centre on Sunday.
The beds, which also have a massage setting, are already attracting attention further afield.
American luger Summer Britcher this week took to social media to show off her bed, comparing it favourably with the cardboard beds used at last year's Tokyo Summer Games.
"It's as if the Beijing organising committee said, 'how can we just absolutely just one up Tokyo?'" Britcher said in a Tiktok video, describing the bed's 'zero gravity' mode, which simulates the feeling of being in outer space, as "phenomenal".
"Raising the head 15 degrees and legs by 35 degrees is beneficial for blood circulation and able to help the athletes to relieve stress and get a good night sleep", she added.
The cabins are available in the media centre which is located within the "closed loop" bubble that separates Olympic Games participants from the public, in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
The Games open on Friday.

loop
表示“圆圈，环形”，英文解释为“the curved shape made when something long and thin, such as a piece of string, bends until one part of it nearly touches or crosses another part of it”如：belt loops 腰带。

📍闭环管理（制度）The closed-loop management system
bubble
作名词大家都很熟悉，表示“泡；气泡；泡沫”，英文解释为“a ball of gas that appears in a liquid, or a ball formed of air surrounded by liquid that floats in the air”。这里可以解释为疫情发生以来的“隔离区”。2020年NBA复赛后，相关媒体资讯中经常会提到这个词。
📍比如，当时詹姆斯发了推特提到“to head to the bubble”，准备前往bubble；
📍华盛顿邮报（The Washington Post）的标题：A farewell to the NBA bubble after three grueling and exhilarating months. 艰苦和兴奋的三个月后，要告别这个NBA Bubble了，
📍纽约时报（The New York Times）提到的：The True Cost of Life in the N.B.A. Bubble，
那么这个“泡泡”bubble到底和NBA什么关系呢？
The 2020 NBA Bubble, also referred to as the Disney Bubble or Orlando Bubble, was the isolation zone at Walt Disney World in Bay Lake, Florida, near Orlando, that was created by the National Basketball Association (NBA) to protect its players from the COVID-19 pandemic during the final eight games of the 2019–20 regular season and throughout the 2020 NBA playoffs.
📍实际上指的就是，因疫情防疫需要，NBA复赛时要求所有球队人员都集中到某个地方隔离（比如前面提到的Gran Destino Tower五星级酒店），不能随意外出串门之类的，等等要求严格遵守各种防疫措施。这个地区，或者说园区，就好像一个“泡泡”一样，与外界隔离开了，就叫做bubble，是不是很形象！本文的奥运村也被称为bubble啦。
curb
表示“控制，抑制，限定，约束（不好的事物）”，英文解释为“to control or limit sth, especially sth bad”举个🌰：
A range of policies have been introduced aimed at curbing inflation.
为了抑制通货膨胀实施了一系列的政策。
The Games open on Friday.
北京冬奥会将于周五开幕。
