Pods in Translation: A Witty Exploration of Chinese Label for Study Pods
Furniture
Study Space

Study Pods / 研習亭 In September, we asked you to suggest a Chinese label for the new study pods on LG1 – and we received 128 responses. After much deliberation, Library Administration team decided to label the study pods 研習亭, taking into consideration the nature (space for research & study), intended use (for individual and group), and shape of the pods.


Among our suggested labels (自修亭/艙, 研習艙, 學習艙, 智能會議艙), the most popular choice was 自修艙 (33 votes), followed by 自修亭 (19 votes).

We are amazed by your creativity and would like to share some of your witty suggestions below.

  • 自修「停」唔「老黎」 🤔;「艙」又會聯想到暗瘡的「瘡」😖,如「壓力瘡」。所以我建議用「自修小屋」🏠,比「自修室」多一種溫馨的感覺,而且「屋」給人安全感 🥰,亦可令人好奇 「小屋」在哪。

  • 小智囊(大智若愚,小智若囊hhh)🤗

  • 自閉艙 / 自闭小桌 / 自闭亭 / 自修太空艙

  • 孤方讀想 / 獨讀艙 😝

  • 摺拉 /摺拉把 🤣

  • 学习胶囊 / 灵感胶囊 💊

  • 創思亭 / 巧思亭

  • 研討間 / 隔音研習艙

  • 学习豆子 🫒

  • 讀書蛋🥚

  • 專注間

  • 渡学舱

  • 靜習小屋

  • 盤思洞

  • 博站

  • 溫習方艙

  • 師仁空間👍

  • 鴻鵠亭 🦢
