疫情期间不能游山玩水，但即使是“宅度假”，也不耽误人们晒美拍。海岛度假地的“漂浮早餐”就是专为发朋友圈而生的，泡在水里享用高颜值的早餐，想想都很惬意！
 

 

If you follow luxury resorts or travel influencers on Instagram, odds¹ are good that you've seen at least one "floating breakfast."

如果你关注过Instagram上的豪华度假地或旅游网红，你极有可能至少看到过一次“漂浮早餐”。

 

In case you're not familiar with them, here's what to know: they're your typical upscale hotel room service breakfast -- think toast, fruit, coffee and the like -- served in a pool or hot tub instead of in bed. Usually, they're placed on large platters or colorful baskets, then accessorized with bright tropical flowers to make them even more photogenic.

若是你对漂浮早餐没有概念，这里简单介绍一下：这是高档酒店客房服务一般都会提供的早餐——吐司、水果、咖啡等等，不过，这些早餐不是在床上享用，而是在泳池或注满热水的浴缸中享用的。漂浮早餐通常会放在大盘子或彩色篮子里，并用艳丽的热带鲜花装饰，这样可以让早餐更上镜。

 

These breakfasts are particularly popular in Asia and the Pacific, especially at warm-weather private villa² resorts in places like Thailand, Fiji and the Maldives.

这种早餐在亚洲和太平洋地区特别受欢迎，尤其在泰国、斐济和马尔代夫等地气候温暖的私人度假村。

 

While these breakfasts have become more common on resort menus over the last five years, the coronavirus pandemic has made them more popular than ever as hotel guests are avoiding buffets³ and communal⁴ dining rooms.

尽管过去五年来漂浮早餐在度假胜地的菜单上越来越常见，但是新冠疫情来袭后，酒店客人们都避免去餐厅用餐，使得漂浮早餐变得比以往都更受欢迎。

 

The floating breakfast has quickly become yet another luxury hotel amenity⁵, like afternoon tea or a turndown treat. Amid the pandemic, domestic travelers taking advantage of affordable⁶ staycations have also embraced floating breakfasts.

漂浮早餐很快像下午茶或夜宵一样成为了豪华酒店的又一项标配。疫情期间，利用这一时机选择实惠“宅度假”的国内游客也很享受漂浮早餐。

 

Timo Kuenzli, general manager of Koh Samui's all-pool-villa Cape⁷ Fahn Hotel, says that nearly 100% of their guests over the past year have ordered one.

苏梅岛海角法恩泳池别墅度假酒店的总经理蒂莫·金兹利表示，过去一年来几乎所有客人都会点漂浮早餐。

 

"We can definitely see that the Asian market is way more into having Instagrammable moments to capture than other markets," he says.

他说：“显而易见，亚洲市场相比其他市场更爱捕捉那些适合发朋友圈的瞬间。”
