TetrisChallenge全球瘋「真人開箱」

【摘要2020.2.16.蘋果】

It’s easy to forget how much stuff is in fire trucks, ambulances, and other emergency vehicles. To help remind people just how much equipment they use, some police officers in Switzerland came up with a creative idea. They took every single piece of equipment in their police car and laid it out on the ground in neat rows.

Then, they took a picture from above while lying next to the equipment. This style of picture became popular on the internet because it reminded people of the classic video game Tetris. Thus, the #tetrischallenge was born. Since then, other emergency workers have taken up the challenge, including firefighters and police officers from Taiwan.

人們很容易忘記消防車、救護車以及其他緊急用途的車輛裡面到底有多少東西。為了幫助提醒大家他們到底使用了多少裝備，瑞士的一些警察想出了一個有創意的點子。他們將警車中的每項配備拿出來整齊地陳列在地板上。

接著，他們躺在裝備旁邊，從上方拍了一張照片。這一類的照片之所以在網路上變得流行，是因為它讓人想起了經典的電玩《俄羅斯方塊》。「真人開箱」的點子便因此誕生。此後，其他緊急事故工作者開始接受了此項挑戰，當然也包括了臺灣的警消人員。
