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。

英文翻譯:

4.倫敦推出新穎的自動販鞋機
女孩子們穿著高跟鞋跳舞、逛街很長一段時間後,妳的腳也許已經不能再忍受勞累和酸痛,這時妳也許最想的是能換穿一雙休閒的平底運動鞋,那該多舒服啊,但妳要的鞋子不會從天上掉下來,鞋店也並不是那麼容易馬上可以找到。近日,日本一家著名運動品牌在倫敦推出了一種新穎的自動販鞋機,讓妳馬上擁有運動鞋的夢變為了現實。每台自動販鞋機裡可以放24雙6種尺碼的運動鞋,售價在60~80美元,操作方式和妳在自動販賣機買飲料基本相同,只是販鞋機吐出的是鞋子罷了。

英文翻譯:

5.看車推出“試車間”
買衣服能試衣,買車為什麼不能呢?某汽車品牌在倫敦的經銷點外建起了一個試車間,可以讓顧客在購車前坐進不同的車內,看看自己和不同車輛的搭配情況。調查顯示,有72%的消費者認為他們的車就是身份的象徵,有95%的人並不知道自己在車內的樣子看起來怎麼樣。

6.獼猴當服務員
日本宇都宮的一家餐廳Kayabuki 雇用了2只日本獼猴當服務員,一隻是12歲的Fuku ,另外一隻是4歲的Yat 。這兩隻猴子每天工作2小時(日本動物權益條例規定),它們穿著特製的服務員制服,為客人遞送熱毛巾或啤酒。讓人驚奇的是它們似乎還能聽懂客人的話,有些客人要加啤酒的時候,它們真的就會又把啤酒送過來。2隻猴子服務員的報酬就是可以有豆子吃。
