美大学办“二次元”毕业礼

The coronavirus pandemic forced UC Berkeley to cancel its plans for a commencement ceremony on campus, but it didn't stop students, staff and alumni from getting together and holding a graduation celebration inside "Minecraft".

新冠病毒大流行导致加州大学伯克利分校取消了在校园举行毕业典礼的计划，但这不能阻止学生、教职员工和校友们聚在一起，在当红电子游戏“我的世界”里举行毕业典礼。

With the university's blessing, a virtual commencement was held on May 16 in the popular video game.

本月16日，在校方的祝福下，一场虚拟毕业典礼在这款游戏里举行。

A group of dedicated builders crafted a replica of the campus and allowed students, family and friends to log in and celebrate the graduation.

一群热心的玩家复制了整个校园，允许学生、亲友登录并参加毕业典礼。

Newly minted grads donned virtual caps and gowns and listened to speakers such as Twitch co-founder Justin Kan and Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan.

新晋毕业生穿戴虚拟帽子和礼服，聆听Twitch联合创始人贾斯汀·坎恩和雷蛇首席执行官陈民亮等人的演讲。

Their speeches were broadcast via Twitch, while in-game celebrants could see their online doppelgangers and move about the virtual Memorial Stadium.

他们的演讲通过Twitch直播，庆祝者可以在游戏中看到他们本人的线上角色，并在虚拟的纪念体育场周围走动。

UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ and Vice Chancellor Marc Fisher also participated in the proceedings.

加州大学伯克利分校校长卡洛·克里斯特和副校长马克·费舍尔也参加了毕业典礼。
