印尼志愿者扮鬼唬人阻止村民出門

?

近日印尼爪哇島上一個(gè)叫Kepuh的村莊里有志愿者在夜間扮鬼嚇唬村民，希望能通過此舉讓村民們隔離家中。

If fears of catching the new coronavirus aren t enough to keep you inside, maybe a ghost will scare you straight?

如果對(duì)感染新冠狀病毒的恐懼還不足以讓你待在家里，也許一個(gè)鬼魂會(huì)直接嚇著你?

If you re out and about in Indonesia, you might run into one of these spirits.

如果你在印尼四處游蕩，你可能會(huì)遇到其中一個(gè)“幽靈”。

The ghosts patrol the streets in Indonesia s central Java province. The goal is to scare people into staying home to stop the spread of COVID-19.

這些“鬼魂”在印尼中部爪哇省的街道上巡邏。目的是嚇唬人們讓他們呆在家里，阻止COVID-19的繼續(xù)傳播。

該志愿者活動(dòng)由一個(gè)鄉(xiāng)村青年組織與警方協(xié)調(diào)發(fā)起，目的是在新冠疫情期間將人們隔離家中。

They re playing the role of the shroud ghost, which is the soul of the dead trapped in the burial shroud, according to Indonesian and Malaysian legends.

他們扮成裹著尸布的幽靈，根據(jù)印尼和馬來西亞的傳說，這是被困在裹尸布里的死者的靈魂。

據(jù)稱，志愿者扮鬼的目的本是嚇唬村民不讓他們出門，但是本月他們首次亮相時(shí)，卻起到相反的作用。

Problem is, when the initiative started, it only brought more people out to see the ghosts to get pictures for social media.

問題是，當(dāng)這個(gè)活動(dòng)開始的時(shí)候，反而激發(fā)了更多人出來看鬼，并拍照傳到網(wǎng)上。

后來組織者稍微改變了方式，讓“鬼怪”們?cè)谝归g不經(jīng)意地蹦出來，然后又像鬼一樣飄走，嚇唬毫無防備的村民。

But the head of a youth group in the area says it s starting to work, and more people are getting the idea to stay inside because the ghosts are on surprise patrols.

該地區(qū)一個(gè)青年組織的負(fù)責(zé)人表示，這種做法已經(jīng)開始奏效，越來越多的人有了待在室內(nèi)的想法，因?yàn)檫@些巡邏的“幽靈”會(huì)突然沖出來嚇人一跳。

It takes the volunteers about 10 minutes to transform into ghosts before patrolling the dark streets.

在黑暗的街道上進(jìn)行巡邏之前，志愿者們需要大約10分鐘的時(shí)間把自己打扮成鬼魂。

If people don t listen, these ghostbusters will have to work day and night to get the message across。

如果人們不聽話，這些鬼魂隊(duì)伍將不得不夜以繼日地傳遞信息。
