Beijing offers high-tech naps to Games reporters
'睡眠休息舱'成冬奥记者打盹儿神器

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 center. The cabins are just one of a number of innovations unveiled at the Games. Anyone can access the pods by scanning a QR code on their phone. 
多亏了北京冬奥会主新闻中心的高科技休息舱，报道冬奥会的记者有机会在工作间隙打个盹了。“睡眠休息舱”只是北京冬奥会上众多创新之一。用手机扫描二维码，即可进入舱内。

The spacious cabins contain the same beds Olympians are sleeping on in the Athletes’ Village, with the user able to adjust their position with a remote control or mobile phone. The beds even have a “zero-gravity mode” meant to reduce stress on the body — you don’t quite float, but it’s pretty comfortable. Zhao Yufeng, a spokesperson for cabin manufacturer Keeson Technology, said 30 to 40 people a day have been using them so far. “We’ve placed sleeping cabins here for journalists to give them an environment to work, rest and relax,” she said.
宽敞的休息舱里有冬奥村运动员同款智能床，用户可以用遥控器或手机调整高度。这些床甚至还可以设置“零重力模式”以减轻身体压力，虽然不会让人漂浮，但躺起来非常舒适。睡眠休息舱制造商麒盛科技发言人赵玉峰（音译）表示，到目前为止，每天有30-40人使用休息舱。她说：“我们在这里为记者安置了休息舱，为他们提供工作、休息和放松的环境。”
