① 為什麼美國的游樂場不用排隊,中國的要排隊
GURNEE, Ill. - Why wait in line when you can just eat a cockroach? That's the
question Six Flags Great America is asking its thrill seekers ring its
Halloween-themed FrightFest. The amusement park is daring customers to eat a
live Madagascar hissing cockroach in exchange for unlimited line-jumping
privileges.
吃一隻蟑螂就不用排隊了,你還在等什麼呢?——這是美國六旗游樂園在萬聖節主題活動期間向遊客提出的令人毛骨悚然的問題。這家游樂園鼓勵遊客吃下一隻活生生的馬達加斯加島蟑螂,以此換取在游樂園免排隊的優惠權。The promotion, which has Lake County Health Department officials shaking
their heads, starts Oct. 7.該游樂園的「吃蟑螂」推廣活動將從10月7日開始,這遭到游樂園所在的萊克縣的衛生部門官員的反對。Anyone who chows down the entire 2- to 3-inch horned cockroach gets a pass
for four people to cut to the front of ride lines through Oct. 29.任何人只要吞下一隻兩三英寸長、帶觸須的蟑螂就可以獲得游樂園的4人免排隊優惠權,優惠期將持續到10月29日。Park officials insist it's safe to eat the crunchy critters, but health
officials are cautioning participants.游樂園官員堅持說,吃下這種脆脆的昆蟲對人體是無害的,但健康部門官員警告遊客這種行為不可取。Consuming live roaches might increase risks of gastrointestinal illness and
allergies, according to Bill Mays, Lake County Health Department's community
health director.萊克縣健康部門公共衛生主管比爾·梅斯表示,生吃蟑螂可能增加患胃腸疾病和過敏症的危險。Cockroach eaters will have to sign waivers and still pay admission fees,
said Six Flags spokesman James Taylor.六旗游樂園發言人詹姆斯·泰勒指出,吃蟑螂的人將與游樂園簽署法律上的棄權書,且仍須購買門票入園。The bug buffet continues with a cooked roach eating contest Oct. 13 —
Friday, Oct. 13.10月13日,六旗游樂園還將舉行一次吃熟蟑螂的比賽。Taylor says he's hoping someone can beat the 2001 Guinness Book of World
Records feat in which a British man downed 36 cockroaches.泰勒表示,他希望有人能打破英國男子在2001年創下的吃下36隻蟑螂的吉尼斯世界紀錄。"I've heard people say, 'Wow,' 'Ew,' a lot of one-worders," Taylor said. "A
lot have said that they wouldn't eat a cockroach, but they sure would like to
see someone else do it."泰勒說:「我聽到人們發出『哇』、『呃』等許多一個字的驚嘆聲。許多人表示他們不會吃蟑螂,但他們對看別人吃蟑螂很感興趣。」
