Israeli inventors have developed a coronavirus mask with a remote control mouth that lets diners eat food without taking it off, a device they say could make a visit to a restaurant less risky.

以色列创造家创造晰一种防备新式冠状病毒的口罩，这种口罩有一个可以长途操控的开口，可以让用餐者不必取下口罩就能用餐。创造者说，这种口罩可以更好的下降去餐厅就餐的危险。

A squeeze of a lever, much like a cyclist operates a handbrake, opens a slot in the front of the mask so that food can pass through.

用餐者只需揉捏操控杆，就像骑自行车的时分捏手刹相同，口罩前面就会翻开一个狭槽，人们就可以终究靠把食物送进嘴里。

The process could get messy with ice cream or sauces, but more solid morsels can be gobbled up in a flash a la Pac-Man in the arcade game.

戴着这种口罩吃冰淇淋或酱汁或许很糟糕，但进食固体食物时，可以像街机游戏《吃豆人》里相同，大口瞬间吃掉。

一块儿来看看这种吃饭不必摘的口罩吧：

"The mask will be opened mechanically by hand remote or automatically when the fork is coming to the mask," Asaf Gitelis, vice president of Avtipus Patents and Inventions, said on Monday as he demonstrated the device at its offices near Tel Aviv.

阿萨夫·吉特利斯是阿提卡斯专利与创造部分的副总裁，他周一（5月18日）在特拉维夫邻近的办公室展现这款口罩时说：“当叉子挨近口罩时，口罩可以终究靠手动遥控或主动敞开。”

"Then you can eat, enjoy, drink and you take out the fork and it will be closed, and you're protected against the virus and other people sitting with you."

“然后你就可以纵情地吃吃喝喝，叉子拿出来今后，口罩就会合上，用餐者就可以免受病毒感染，或许被身边的人传染上。”

The company said it plans to start manufacturing the mask within months and had already submitted a patent. It said it would likely sell at a 3 to 10 shekel premium above the price of the simple pale blue medical masks many Israelis wear.

该公司表明，计划在几个月内开端出产这种口罩，并已申请了专利。这款口罩的价格或许比许多以色列人佩带的一般蓝色医用口罩高出3至10谢克尔（约合人民币6至20元）。

Outside a Juice Bar in Tel Aviv, Reuters showed customers a cellphone video of the mask in action. Opinion was divided.

在特拉维夫一家果汁吧外，路透社向顾客们展现了一段佩带这种口罩就餐的手机视频。人们对此观点纷歧。

"I think this mask, that enables me to eat while I'm still wearing it, is a must-have," said Ofir Hameiri, a 32-year-old graduate student.

32岁的研究生奥菲尔·哈迈尔说：“我以为很有必要佩带这种口罩，这样吃东西的时分也能戴着口罩。”

But eating an ice cream cone, Ron Silberstein, a 29-year-old musician, said: "I don't think this mask could hold this kind of ice cream - it's dripping all over. I wouldn't want to wear it afterward."

可是，29岁的音乐家罗恩·西尔伯斯坦在吃蛋卷冰淇淋时说：“我不以为戴着这种口罩能吃蛋卷冰淇淋——滴得处处都是，之后我也就不想戴了。”

Israel has largely reopened its economy after a dramatic drop in cases of the novel coronavirus. Restaurants are open only for takeout for the time being.

在新式冠状病毒感染病例大幅下降后，以色列基本上从头开放了经济活动。饭馆暂时只提供外卖。
