翻譯社新聞∼全球最另類的六種服務

1.英國販賣機裡藏真人為顧客服務
顧客從自動販賣機買東西，這似乎是一件再平常不過的事情了。但是最近一段時間，安置在倫敦維多利亞火車站火車站內的一台販賣機，卻引來很多人的圍觀。這究竟是怎麼一回事呢？原來，秘密在販賣機後面藏了一個大活人。顧客投進硬幣後，藏在後面的人會問顧客想要哪樣商品，之後再把商品扔進洞裡，顧客取出商品後，向販賣機豎起大拇指，表示交易完成。人工販賣機是由英國的一家食品公司安置在這裡的。公司市場部經理表示，之所以這麼做，是希望每天都像機器一樣忙碌工作的都市人，能從與陌生人的交流中獲得快樂。

2.餐廳服務員穿護士制服用針筒注射飲料
台灣有家主題餐廳經營風格另類，服務生穿上護士制服，餐桌上還有提供飲料的點滴。進入餐廳後，客人甚至可以要求坐在輪椅上，請服務員幫忙推進去。餐廳內牆壁上掛X光片、視力測量表，飲料則在點滴瓶內。另有試管飲料，由服務生推著護理推車，用針筒把“試管酒”飲料“注射”到消費者嘴巴中。而飲料的名字噱頭十足，像墮胎用的RU486、鎮定劑、玻尿酸、避孕藥、威而剛、威而柔都有。

3.農夫對奶牛打太極拳提高了牛奶產量
“對牛彈琴”的成語大家都明白並，但英國一個奶牛場的農夫Rob Taverner 卻不這麼認為，每天早上都會身穿那套藍色工作服和一雙防水長靴，在他餵養的奶牛們面前表演太極拳。他認為動物非常容易受到人類情感感染，太極可以讓人將一切問題拋在腦後，進入一個較好的狀態，他認為他的表演也會讓這些奶牛感到快樂，從而產出更多的牛奶。好像事實也證明Rob所言非虛。也許“對牛打太極”也會成為一種養殖場流行的表演。
