AMC影院重开时将要求客人戴上口罩

AMC Theatres — the nation's largest multiplex operator — is amending its plans for reopening next month, now requiring customers at all its theaters to wear masks.

美国最大的多厅影院运营商AMC影院正在修改下个月重新开张的计划，现在要求所有影院的顾客都戴上口罩。

Just a day before, the company had posted a detailed plan to open 450 of its 600-plus U.S. theaters on July 15. Another 150 locations were scheduled to open ahead of two major releases, Disney's live-action Mulan remake and Christopher Nolan's Tenet.

就在一天前，该公司公布了一份详细的计划，将在7月15日在其600多家美国影院中的450家公映。在迪士尼翻拍的真人版《花木兰》和克里斯托弗•诺兰的《泰尼特》两部大片上映之前，还有150个地点计划开业。

In a lengthy post to its website Thursday, AMC Theatres outlined several measures it will put in place. It will reduce personal contact at concession stands and box offices. The company also said it plans to cap seating at 30% and gradually increase to full capacity by Thanksgiving. Employees will also have to wear masks.

AMC影院周四在其网站上发表了一篇长篇文章，概述了将实施的几项措施。这将减少人们与小卖部和售票处的接触。该公司还表示，计划将座位数限制在30%，并在感恩节前逐步增加到满座。员工也必须戴口罩。

"We thought it might be counterproductive if we forced mask wearing on those people who believe strongly that it is not necessary. We think that the vast majority of AMC guests will be wearing masks," Aron told the industry trade publication. "When I go to an AMC feature, I will certainly be wearing a mask and leading by example."

“我们认为，如果我们强迫那些坚信没有必要戴口罩的人戴口罩，可能会适得其反。“我们认为，绝大多数AMC客人都将戴上口罩，” 阿隆告诉行业贸易出版社。“当我去AMC看电影时，我肯定会戴着口罩，以身作则。”

When the company reversed course Friday afternoon, Aron said masks would be for sale at the locations and that "those who are unwilling to wear a mask will not be admitted or allowed to stay."

周五下午，该公司改变了做法，阿隆说，口罩将在这些地方出售，“不愿意戴口罩的人将被禁止进入或允许留在这里。”

AMC Theatres, like many theater owners, has been hard hit by coronavirus closures. The company closed more than 1,000 of its theaters in March and reportedly furloughed 600 corporate employees soon afterward.

与许多影院所有者一样，AMC影院受到冠状病毒关闭的沉重打击。今年3月，该公司关闭了1,000多家影院，并有报道称，随后不久又让600名公司员工休假。

"Even when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, we cannot guarantee that we will recover as rapidly as other industries," the company said.

该公司表示:“即使COVID-19疫情消退，我们也不能保证我们能像其他行业那样迅速恢复。”
