Graveyards in Pakistan—Hold your hearses(一)

DOWN a dusty side road in the province of Punjab stands Shehr-e-Khamoshan, a new graveyard with freezers imported from Germany and a network of 22 video cameras that will allow relatives of the deceased to live-stream footage of funerals at the $1.5m facility. Attend a ceremony in per on and there is little risk of heat stroke: dozens of fans hang from the ceiling of an arched prayer zone that is almost entirely open to the air.

翻译
一个新的坟墓坐落在旁遮普省的一条尘土飞扬的路边,这个墓地有德国进口的冷冻室,以及由22台摄影机组成的电视网允许死者的家属在花费了150万美元的设施上直播葬礼。亲自参加葬礼的人们没有一点中暑的风险,因为在拱形祈祷区的天花板上悬挂着数十个电风扇,几乎完全像空中开放。
