双语阅读:日本推出“温泉啤酒浴”

 　　Having a cold beer after a hot bath is a nightly ritual for many Japanese, and now the country has found a way to further indulge -- soaking in the suds themselves.

　　In Hakone Kowakien Yunessun, a mountainous hot spring resort just a day trip from Tokyo, a spa park is offering a bathtub, shaped like a beer mug, filled with heated amber¹ water and white foam² with the aroma³ of hops⁴ and barley⁵.

　　The resort is also pouring and spraying real beer into the bath and onto the customers three times a day until December 31.

　　The beer bath installation, which began late last month, pays homage⁶ to the "beer fights" of professional baseball season winners.

　　"We wanted ordinary people to enjoy the fun," the spa said in a statement.

　　The facility says the beer bath moisturises and cleanses⁷ the skin.

　　The theme park-style facility, which features various tubs of hot spring water, annually⁸ celebrates the release of the Beaujolais Nouveau with a real sommelier pouring the fresh wine into its open-air "wine spa."

　　The Yunessun also offers baths of coffee, tea and Japanese sake.

　　很多日本人习惯晚上洗个热水澡后喝杯冰镇啤酒。现在，日本人又多了一个畅享啤酒的方式——“啤酒浴”。

　　距离东京仅有一天路程的神奈川县箱根町是一个多山的温泉胜地。这里的一家温泉公园设了一种啤酒杯状的浴缸，浴缸内盛满了散发着啤酒花和大麦清香的热啤酒。

　　工作人员还将啤酒倒进浴缸并向客人身上喷洒，这一服务每天提供三次，截止到12月31日。

　　“温泉啤酒浴”服务于上个月末推出，其灵感主要来自于职业棒球的赛季冠军们“洒啤酒”庆祝胜利的做法。

　　温泉公园在一份声明中说：“我们想让普通人也体会一下这种乐趣。”

　　据介绍，洗啤酒浴能够清洁并滋润肌肤。

　　该公园提供各式的“主题温泉浴”设施。在一年一度的宝祖利新酒上市庆祝仪式上，一名斟酒员会将新鲜的酒倒进公园的露天“酒温泉”里。

　　箱根町温泉胜地还向游客提供咖啡浴、茶浴及日本米酒浴。
