印度土豪戴純金口罩防新冠

This coronavirus protection is pure gold.

這個防護新冠病毒的方法就像金子一樣閃亮。

An Indian businessman is going viral after paying $4,000 to have a face mask made out of the pricey precious metal.

一名印度商人火了，因爲他花了4000美元戴上了由昂貴金屬製成的口罩。

"It is a thin mask and has tiny pores that is helping me to breathe," Shankar Kurhade, 49, of Pune, told Agence France-Presse.

來自浦那的49歲的Shankar Kurhade接受法新社採訪時說：“這是一個很薄的口罩，上面還有小孔來幫助我呼吸。”

"People are asking me for selfies," he said. "They are awestruck when they see me wearing the gold mask in markets."

他說：“人們都來和我自拍。當他們看到我在市場上戴着金口罩時，都非常震驚。”

"I am not sure if it will be effective to protect me from a coronavirus infection," he admitted to AFP about the mask that weighs 2 ounces.

“我不確定它對於我免受冠狀病毒感染是否能起到保護作用。”在談到這個重2盎司的口罩時，他向法新社承認道。

The businessman said he's "taking other precautions."

這位商人說他在採取其他預防措施。

"It is not the gold or cloth mask, but social distancing and hand washing that will protect human beings from coronavirus," he told the Indian Express.

他對印度快報說：“這不是金口罩還是布口罩的問題，保護人們免受新冠病毒危害的是保持社交距離和勤洗手。”
