While the world was grappling with the pandemic, a Hungarian family of four decided last summer to fulfil their dreamsailing around the globe in a 50-feet boat called "Teatime."

當世界在疫情中掙扎時,一個4口匈牙利家庭去年夏天決定實現他們的夢想,用一艘50英尺的船「午茶時間」航行全球。

Domonkos Bosze and his wife Anna, who have been sailing for more than a decade, had planned the adventure long before the COVID-19 pandemic.

多蒙科斯.波澤與他的妻子安娜,已經有逾十年的航行經驗,在武漢肺炎大流行開始前就已著手計畫這趟冒險許久。

While the pandemic presented them with the dilemma of whether this was the right time to go, in the end their determination overruled all worries and risks.

當疫情帶給他們不知何時該出發的困境時,他們的決心最終駁回了一切的擔憂與風險。

They follow the changes in coronavirus rules in each country and take a test or go into quarantine as required.

他們遵循每個國家不同的武漢肺炎規定,並且接受檢測與在必要時進行隔離。

Depending on COVID restrictions, they plan to sail on this year or next year towards the Pacific, and now they say their trip could last another 5-6 years, stopping for extended periods in the southern Pacific and on the Indian ocean.

依據武漢肺炎禁令,他們計畫今年或明年航行至太平洋,且他們現在表示,他們的旅行可能還要再持續56年,將在南太平洋與印度洋停留較長的時間。
