Nearly 200 people in Vienna, Austria, gathered recently to enjoy two fun activities at the same time.
近日,奥地利维也纳近200人齐聚一堂,同时享受两项有趣的活动。
They worked with needles and yarn. And they watched a movie together called The Devil Wears Prada.
他们用针和纱线工作。 他们还一起看了一部叫《穿普拉达的女魔头》的电影。
"It sounds a bit like a grandmother, but it's relaxing. And…what's wrong with letting the grandmother in us express herself," joked Austrian Alexander Koch. He is a 28-year-old who crochets.
“这听起来有点像祖母,但很放松。 而且......让我们内心的祖母表达自己有什么问题,”奥地利人亚历山大·科赫开玩笑说。 他今年 28 岁,从事钩针编织工作。
Knitting or crocheting while watching movies has gained popularity in Europe.
在欧洲,边看电影边编织或钩编已经很流行。
Luisa Palmer was one of the organizers of the event. Palmer said that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, "A lot of people started knitting during the lockdown alone at home." Palmer launched the knitting evenings once a month at Votiv Kino, a place to watch movies in the center of the Austrian capital.
路易莎·帕尔默是该活动的组织者之一。 帕尔默说,在 COVID-19 大流行期间,“很多人在封锁期间开始独自在家编织。” Palmer 在奥地利首都中心的 Votiv Kino 观看电影的场所每月举办一次编织之夜。
"Now we need to find ourselves…" in real life, the 30-year-old told the French News Agency (AFP) before the event.
这位 30 岁的年轻人在活动开始前告诉法国新闻社(法新社),“现在我们需要在现实生活中找到自己……”。
People are knitting, eating, or even breastfeeding babies while watching a movie. This movement is the latest attempt to add different things to the movie-watching experience, said Lisa Stolze. She is a spokesperson for Votiv Kino, the movie house.
人们一边看电影一边编织、吃饭,甚至给婴儿喂奶。 丽莎·斯托尔兹 (Lisa Stolze) 表示,这一举措是为电影观看体验添加不同元素的最新尝试。 她是 Votiv Kino 电影院的代言人。
To avoid knitting mistakes, a soft light remains on during the movie. This also helps to increase exchanges between the attendees.
为了避免编织错误,在电影播放过程中,柔和的灯光一直亮着。 这也有助于增加与会者之间的交流。
Organizers based their event on similar ones in the United States, Northern Europe, Germany and France. Since launching in December of 2024, the movie events in Vienna are usually full.
组织者的活动以美国、北欧、德国和法国的类似活动为基础。 自 2024 年 12 月上映以来,维也纳的电影活动通常爆满。
"I usually knit while watching movies or listening to podcasts at home, so movie theaters are the perfect place for this activity," said Kaja Vospernik. She is a 23-year-old fashion student.
“我通常在家里看电影或听播客时编织,所以电影院是进行这项活动的最佳场所,”卡贾·沃斯佩尼克 (Kaja Vospernik) 说。 她是一名23岁的时装专业学生。
As the movie plays, the colorful projects take shape. The film takes a back seat, meaning it is less important than the work of knitting or crocheting. Everyone shows off their work. Experienced knitters and crocheters help beginners learn new skills.
随着电影的播放,丰富多彩的项目逐渐成形。 电影处于次要地位,这意味着它不如针织或钩编工作重要。 每个人都展示自己的作品。 经验丰富的编织者和钩编者帮助初学者学习新技能。
"You can come alone and knit in silence to relax. But if you are looking for company, this kind of event seems to me to be the right choice," said Judith Haslöwer.
“你可以一个人来,默默地织毛衣,放松一下。 但如果你正在寻找同伴,在我看来,这种活动是正确的选择。”朱迪思·哈斯勒韦尔 (Judith Haslöwer) 说道。
She is another organizer of the event.
她是该活动的另一位组织者。
People attend the events for several reasons. Some say the events let them reconnect with something real that is not on a computer. Others say they can “slow down a little.” Palmer said, "Doing something with your ten fingers is still more rewarding…" than working at a computer all day.
人们参加这些活动有多种原因。 有人说这些事件让他们重新接触到电脑上没有的真实事物。 其他人则表示他们可以“放慢一点”。 帕尔默说,“用十个手指做某事仍然比整天在电脑前工作更有价值……”。
She added that picking the right movie is also important.
她补充说,选择合适的电影也很重要。
Palmer likes to watch a good "cozy comedy” that she has already seen. She joked that it is best to avoid scary movies. They can make you jump causing you to lose your place in your knitting. Kiyoko Metzler reported this story for AFP from Vienna, Austria.
帕尔默喜欢看她已经看过的精彩“温馨喜剧”。 她开玩笑说最好不要看恐怖片。 它们会让你跳起来,导致你失去编织的位置。 Kiyoko Metzler 在奥地利维也纳为法新社报道了这一故事。
