If you thought Russia's recent efforts to prevent rain in the sky from dampening holiday spirits represented the ultimate in scientific stage management, you ain't seen nothing yet. 如果你认为俄罗斯最近为了阻止雨水毁掉节日氛围的努力是高科技舞台管理的极限（为避免五一期间下雨，俄罗斯花百万美元“播云”），那么跟日本人相比，简直小巫见大巫了。 A Japanese research company called ALE Co. (aka Star-ALE) is bidding to put on a sensational pyrotechnics display for the opening ceremony of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. But this is no regular fireworks show: ALE Co.'s 'Sky Canvas' is an artificially created meteor shower – uh-huh – which would see hundreds of tiny, coloured fireballs rain down over the host city. 一家叫做ALE CO的日本公司正在筹划在2020东京夏季奥运会开幕式上进行一场举世无双的烟火表演：他们的“天空画布”项目将上演一场人造流星雨，届时将有数百颗彩色火球从天而降。 According to a report at industrial design site Core 77, if ALE Co. has its way, this amazing concept would result in the human-made shooting stars being visible from well outside of Tokyo too, with the next-level pyrotechnics expected to be viewable from up to 100 kilometres away from the city. 根据日本工业设计网站Core 77的报道，如果ALE Co得以实施这一计划，这场人造流星雨在东京以外的地区都可以看到，观察半径达到100公里。 |
