📖 逐句对照翻译

Paradox Museum Miami is a mixture of art, science, and fun.

迈阿密悖论博物馆是艺术、科学与乐趣的融合。

The 1,000-square-meter museum is housed in Miami's Wynwood arts and entertainment area.

这座占地1000平方米的博物馆位于迈阿密的温伍德艺术与娱乐区。

It has more than 70 public displays known as exhibits.

它有70多个被称为展品的公开展示。

Executive director Samantha Impellizeri says these exhibits challenge the imagination.

执行总监萨曼莎·因佩利泽里表示,这些展品挑战着人们的想象力。

She added that visitors can walk away from the experience with some really fun and interesting material for social media.

她补充说,游客们可以带着一些非常有趣好玩的素材离开,用于社交媒体分享。

Paradox Museum has more than ten locations throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

悖论博物馆在北美、欧洲和亚洲拥有十多个分馆。

The Miami location, which opened in 2022, was the first in North America.

2022年开业的迈阿密分店是北美首家。

The term paradox is central to the museum and what visitors experience.

悖论这一概念是博物馆的核心,也是参观者体验的核心。

A paradox is a situation or thing that has seemingly opposite or contradictory qualities.

悖论是指看似具有相反或矛盾性质的情况或事物。

“Each paradox is uniquely tied to its community,” Impellizeri said.

Impellizeri说:“每个悖论都与其所在的群体有着独特的联系。”

“So as you walk throughout the experience, you’ll notice different themes and art installations that directly reflect not only Miami but the Wynwood community specifically.

所以,在您漫步体验的过程中,会注意到不同的主题和艺术装置,它们不仅直接反映了迈阿密,还特别体现了温伍德社区的特点。

“

Many of the displays at Paradox Museum suggest old carnival funhouses – buildings that had devices and rooms designed to surprise or amaze visitors.

悖论博物馆的许多展品让人联想到旧时的嘉年华游乐屋——那些设有各种装置和房间、旨在让游客感到惊奇或惊叹的建筑。

Examples include the mirror maze, the spinning tunnel, and the upside-down room.

例如镜子迷宫、旋转隧道和颠倒屋。

The difference is that Paradox Museum explains the math and science behind each illusion.

不同之处在于,悖论博物馆会解释每个错觉背后的数学和科学原理。

“We’re a top field trip destination for pre-K all the way up through college students,” Impellizeri said.

“从学前班到大学生,我们都是他们首选的外出考察目的地,”因佩利泽里说道。

She added that the museum has a large number of educational activities that students can do before, during, and after the visit.

她补充说,博物馆有大量教育活动,学生可以在参观前、参观中和参观后参与。

Like any museum, Paradox Museum plans to change its exhibits to keep visitors coming back.

与任何博物馆一样,悖论博物馆也计划更换展品,以吸引游客再次光临。

“We’re not going to be the same space in a year to three years from now," Impellizeri said.

Impellizeri说:“一年到三年后,我们将不再是同样的空间。”

Paradox Museum Miami introduced a new Zero Gravity Room last fall.

迈阿密悖论博物馆去年秋天推出了一个新的零重力房间。

Visitors can turn their smart phone cameras on and attach their phones to a spinning holder.

游客可以打开智能手机摄像头,并将手机固定在一个旋转支架上。

Then they step into a large, slowly moving room designed to look like the inside of a space station.

然后他们走进一个缓慢移动的大房间,这个房间被设计成看起来像是空间站内部。

The resulting video makes it look as though they are walking up the wall and ceiling inside a room unaffected by gravity.

最终生成的视频让他们看起来像是在一个不受重力影响的房间里沿着墙壁和天花板行走。

Paradox Museum is part of a movement towards so-called “immersive art experiences.”

悖论博物馆是所谓“沉浸式艺术体验”潮流的一部分。

These kinds of art experiences often use technology to make the visitors feel like they are taking part in art rather than just looking at it.

这类艺术体验通常运用技术,让参观者感觉自己是在参与艺术,而不仅仅是观看艺术。

“Immersive experiences around the world are increasing in popularity,” Impellizeri noted.

Impellizeri指出:“世界各地的沉浸式体验越来越受欢迎。”

Immersive art experiences have opened all over the world during the past 10 years or so.

在过去十年左右的时间里,沉浸式艺术体验在全球各地纷纷涌现。

Examples include a company called Meow Wolf with several locations in the western United States, as well as a Van Gogh exhibit that has been traveling through North America, Europe and Asia since 2017.

例如,一家名为“喵狼”的公司在美国西部设有多处场馆,还有一场梵高作品展,自2017年以来一直在北美、欧洲和亚洲巡回展出。

Superblue Miami, which opened in 2021, is another example.

2021年开放的迈阿密Superblue是另一个例子。

Visitors generally take 60 to 90 minutes to make their way through Paradox Museum.

Tickets normally cost $26 for adults and teenagers and $20 for children.

Speigel said immersive experiences are a natural progression of location-based entertainment.

斯皮格尔表示,沉浸式体验是基于位置的娱乐的自然演进。

Location-based entertainment includes go-cart tracks, laser tag, paint ball, indoor skydiving, escape rooms and trampoline parks.

These are activities that take visitors a few hours to go through.

“It’s a lot of little things that we’ve had in the industry for years, heightened by our new technology…to make the experience new and something people haven’t seen,” Speigel said.

斯皮格尔说:“我们多年来在这个行业里积累了很多小细节,而新技术让这些细节更加突出……从而打造出全新的、人们前所未见的体验。”
