美大學辦“二次元”畢業禮

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".
新冠病毒大流行導致加州大學伯克利分校取消了在校園舉行畢業典禮的計劃，但這不能阻止學生、教職員工和校友們聚在一起，在當紅電子遊戲“我的世界”裏舉行畢業典禮。

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，一場虛擬畢業典禮在這款遊戲裏舉行。

A group of dedicated builders crafted a replica of the campus and allowed students, family and friends to log in and celebrate the graduation.
一羣熱心的玩家複製了整個校園，允許學生、親友登錄並參加畢業典禮。

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.
新晉畢業生穿戴虛擬帽子和禮服，聆聽Twitch聯合創始人賈斯汀·坎恩和雷蛇首席執行官陳民亮等人的演講。

Their speeches were broadcast via Twitch, while in-game celebrants could see their online doppelgangers and move about the virtual Memorial Stadium.
他們的演講通過Twitch直播，慶祝者可以在遊戲中看到他們本人的線上角色，並在虛擬的紀念體育場周圍走動。

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