A charity in Thailand has decided to livestream its elephant herd bathing in a river as a way to give people a respite and a sense of calm amid the news about the COVID-19 crisis.

泰國一家慈善機構(gòu)決定對在河里洗澡的象群進行直播，讓在有關(guān)COVID-19危機的新聞中給人們一種喘息和平靜的感覺。

“In order to counter the bad news on everyone’s timeline & brighten the day for those who cannot travel we will be live-streaming elephants across the world until further notice,” the charity wrote on its Facebook page.

該慈善機構(gòu)在其Facebook頁面上寫道：“為了應對每個人時間表上的壞消息，讓那些不能旅行的人有一天過得愉快，我們將在世界各地直播大象，直到得到進一步通知。”。

John Roberts of the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation said he was thinking about how many people are cooped up at home.

金三角亞洲象基金會的約翰羅伯茨說，他在考慮有多少人被關(guān)在家里。

He soon had an idea: “Let’s bring some elephants into people’s lives, maybe we can cheer them up,” he told The Associated Press.

他很快想到：“讓我們把一些大象帶入人們的生活中，也許我們可以為它們加油鼓舞，”他告訴美聯(lián)社。

Wednesday’s Facebook Live broadcast apparently showed the sun rising behind four elephants grazing and dust-bathing rather than splashing in the river.

周三的臉書直播顯示，太陽在四只吃草和沐浴灰塵大象的身后升起，而不是在河里戲水。

The foundation, which is on Thailand’s border with Myanmar, rescues elephants from the streets of cities and gives them and their handlers a natural environment in which to live and roam. It also funds research into elephant behavior. It currently hosts 21 animals.

該基金會位于泰國與緬甸的交界處，他們從城市的街道上救助大象，并為大象及其飼養(yǎng)員提供一個自然環(huán)境，讓他們在其中生活和漫步。它還資助對大象行為的研究。目前有21只動物。

Roberts says they will keep up the twice-daily online broadcast at https://www.facebook.com/GTAEF.helpingelephants for as long as the global crisis lasts.

羅伯茨表示，只要全球危機還在持續(xù)，他們就會繼續(xù)在https://www.facebook.com/GTAEF.helpingelephants網(wǎng)站上每天兩次的在線直播。
