Mask-wearing dolls for Christmas

新冠主题儿童玩具热销

Children in Spain and Portugal could find that their Christmas presents this year reflect the coronavirus pandemic as dolls wearing face masks, kits for making personal protection items, and other toys adapted to fit the times fly off the shelves.

西班牙和葡萄牙的孩子们会发现，与新冠疫情相关的儿童玩具成为了今年圣诞季的热门礼物。戴口罩的娃娃、制作个人防护用品的工具包、以及其他新冠主题的玩具十分畅销。

In a toy store in Madrid, some of Spanish toymaker Famosa's popular Nancy dolls were wearing a protective mask.

在马德里的一家玩具店里，西班牙著名玩具制造商富美思生产的一些兰茜娃娃戴上了口罩。

Another set of dolls came with a virus tester, which can detect if the toy is infected.

另一套娃娃玩具则带有病毒测试仪，可以检测出玩具娃娃是否“感染了”病毒。

If it is, the child can cure it by tickling it.

如果是的话，孩子可以通过挠痒痒来治愈它。

Putting a mask on their dolls helps (kids) realize they need to wear one themselves, shopper Cristina Hernandez said.

店主克里斯蒂娜·埃尔南德斯说：“给娃娃戴上口罩有助于（孩子们）意识到他们自己也需要戴口罩。”

Portuguese firm Science4You said sales of its toys related to the virus were booming, especially online as people stayed away from big shopping malls due to fear of contagion.

在邻国葡萄牙，科学玩具品牌Science4You公司表示，新冠主题的玩具销售火爆，尤其是在网上，因为人们担心病毒传染而远离大型购物中心。

Science4You said they had sold more than 8,000 anti-virus lab kits since it came on the market in mid-July.

该公司表示，自从7月中旬抗病毒实验室套装玩具上市以来，已售出8000余套。
