To welcome our distinguished visitors, we decided to roll out the carpet and even placed two rows of cameras to ensure a very exclusive visit. Unfortunately, we got a faulty batch of cameras that are too shy to look you straight in the eye. But worry not: they'll peek at your back whenever they can.
為了歡迎我們尊貴的訪客，我們決定鋪設地毯以及在兩邊放置攝影機們，以確保提供一個獨特的經驗。不幸的是，我們得到的是一批有點問題的攝影機們，他們太害羞了，不敢直視閣下的眼睛。但別擔心，只要有機會，他們一定會偷看你的背影。
