A luxury cruise line is offering
a "skip forward" plan for those Americans looking to avoid another
four years under President-elect Donald Trump.一家豪华游轮公司正推出一项“跳过特朗普”的旅行计划,专为那些想要避开当选总统特朗普未来四年执政的美国人设计。
While some despondent voters have
protested Trump's election by shaving their heads, threatening sex strikes and
throwing online tantrums, still others have said they will be leaving the
country forever. For those looking for a more subdued middle ground, Villa Vie
Residences has announced a four-year long "Skip Forward" cruise,
which will dock at 425 ports across 140 countries.特朗普当选后,一些失望的选民以剃光头、威胁进行“性罢工”(“性罢工”为何意,请自行搜索)在网上发泄等方式来表达抗议,甚至有人表示将永久离开美国。对于那些寻求较为温和中间立场的人,“维拉薇雅居(Villa Vie Residences)”邮轮公司推出了一项为期四年的“跳过特朗普”的游轮之旅,该游轮将在140个国家的425个港口停靠。
"Residents have the
flexibility to join their customized journey at any port during the continuous
global adventure for up to 4 years," Villa Vie Residences said in a press
release. Buying a four-year cabin on the vessel starts at $159,999 per person
for a double and $255,999 for a single bedroom. Luxury accommodations featuring
unlimited access to an Ocean Villa start at $350,000.维拉薇雅居在一份新闻稿中说:“在长达4年的持续全球探险之旅中,在任何港口,邮轮旅客可以灵活地再加入个性化旅程。在邮轮上购买一个为期四年的客舱,双人间起价为每人159999美元,单人间起价为255999美元。无限制使用海景别墅的豪华住宿起价为 35万美元。”
"Villa Vie offers a unique
one-of-a-kind way to see the whole world at a slow pace where you have enough
time to actually experience the cultural vibe of every port." said Anne
Alms, head of sales for Villa Vie Residences in a statement. "Your villa
is your bedroom, and the ship is your home, she'll take you across the globe to
endless horizons."维拉薇雅居销售主管安妮·阿姆斯(Anne Alms)在一份声明中说:“维拉薇雅居提供一种独特的方式,让您悠闲地欣赏整个世界,有足够时间真正体验每个港口的文化氛围。别墅就是您的卧室,而游轮就是您的家,她将带您穿越全球,去往无尽的远方。”
CEO Mikael Petterson said that
the package is ideal for those Americans looking to escape, though he
acknowledged he has plenty of conservative customers. "Although the
campaign was put together before the results of the election, we feel we have a
perfect product for those who said they'd leave the country if XYZ wins the
election," Petterson said to Fox Business On Monday.维拉薇雅居首席执行官米凯尔·佩特森(Mikael Petterson)表示,这一计划非常适合那些想要暂时逃离的美国人,尽管他也有不少保守派客户。周一(11月11日),佩特森在接受福克斯商业频道采访时表示:“虽然这个活动是在选举结果出来之前策划的,但我们认为,这对那些宣称如果某人当选就会离开国家的民众来说,是个完美的产品。”
"We may have differing
political views, but our community comes together through our passion for
exploring the world in a very real way that goes far beyond politics," he
added.佩特森补充说:“我们可能有不同的政治观点,但我们的社区因为对探索世界的热情而凝聚在一起,这种体验远远超越政治分歧。”
If a four-year commitment proves
too steep for some customers, Villa Vie Residences is offering a two-year
"Mid-Term Selection" in case Democrats recapture either the House or
the Senate in 2026.如果四年的投入对一些客户来说过于漫长,维拉薇雅居还提供了为期两年的“中期选择”计划,以应对2026年民主党可能重掌众议院或参议院的情况。
