German pilot Samy Kramer has traced a giant syringe in the sky, flying 200 kilometers to remind people about the start of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Europe.

德國飛行員薩米‧克拉馬在空中勾勒出一個巨大的注射器，飛行200公里提醒民眾，2019冠狀病毒疾病疫苗接種運動在歐洲起跑。

The 20-year-old pilot mapped out the route he would need to take on a GPS device before taking to the skies near Lake Constance in southern Germany. The syringe-shaped route showed up on internet site flightradar24.

這位20歲的飛行員在德國南部康士坦茲湖附近起飛前，已規劃出需用到全球定位系統裝置的路線。注射器狀的航線出現在「航班雷達24」網站。

"There are still relatively many people opposing the vaccination and my action may be a reminder for them to think about the topic, to get things moving", Kramer told Reuters TV on Sunday.

克拉馬週日告訴路透電視，「仍有相對多的人反對施打疫苗，我的行動可能提醒他們思考這話題、動起來」。

"Perhaps it was also a bit of a sign of joy, because the aviation industry has been hit pretty hard by the pandemic", Kramer said. (Reuters)

克拉馬說，「或許它也算是個令人開心的符號，因為航空業受這場全球大流行病打擊甚深。」（路透）
