瑞典一名音像店主别出心裁地设计出一种音乐棺材,棺材内置音乐播放器,播放曲目可由死者亲朋好友通过网络进行控制。
弗雷德里克称,音乐棺材的设计灵感来自对死后生活质量的思考。他认为这种别出心裁的发明也能在一定程度上缓解死者亲朋好友的悲痛感。弗雷德里克表示,自己死后就要躺在这样的棺材里,生前选好几曲自己最爱听的歌剧伴自己长眠。据称,这款音乐棺材售价高达19.9万瑞典克朗(约合人民币19.1万元),已有来自美国、加拿大以及中国台湾的客户提出咨询。(记者:赵一然)
A Swedish man has designed a coffin with built-in speakers linked to a music playlist that can be updated by the living。
Music and video equipment store owner Fredrik Hjelmquist said his hi-fi coffin would entertain the dead and provide solace for grieving friends and relatives by making it possible for them to alter the deceased's playlist online。
"We don't know, right? But then people believe in different ways in different parts of the world," Hjelmquist told Reuters television when he was asked whether a belief in life after death was what would lead someone to buy his coffin。
"In Sweden perhaps we don't believe in it, but in many parts of the world people believe in a different way," he said。
He planned to be buried in such a coffin, he added, and would choose opera for his long sleep. He has not sold any of his coffins, but there have been many enquiries, he added。
The price tag is a hefty 199,000 Swedish crowns ($30,700)。
"We've had an unbelievable amount of inquiries, not so much in Sweden, but many from the United States and Canada, " he said。
"Ozzy Osbourne should buy one I think or Keith Richards. Somebody ought to do it because this is really rock n' roll I think...but at the same time beautiful," he said。
