① 为什么美国的游乐场不用排队,中国的要排队
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.
吃一只蟑螂就不用排队了,你还在等什么呢?——这是美国六旗游乐园在万圣节主题活动期间向游客提出的令人毛骨悚然的问题。这家游乐园鼓励游客吃下一只活生生的马达加斯加岛蟑螂,以此换取在游乐园免排队的优惠权。The promotion, which has Lake County Health Department officials shaking
their heads, starts Oct. 7.该游乐园的“吃蟑螂”推广活动将从10月7日开始,这遭到游乐园所在的莱克县的卫生部门官员的反对。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.任何人只要吞下一只两三英寸长、带触须的蟑螂就可以获得游乐园的4人免排队优惠权,优惠期将持续到10月29日。Park officials insist it's safe to eat the crunchy critters, but health
officials are cautioning participants.游乐园官员坚持说,吃下这种脆脆的昆虫对人体是无害的,但健康部门官员警告游客这种行为不可取。Consuming live roaches might increase risks of gastrointestinal illness and
allergies, according to Bill Mays, Lake County Health Department's community
health director.莱克县健康部门公共卫生主管比尔·梅斯表示,生吃蟑螂可能增加患胃肠疾病和过敏症的危险。Cockroach eaters will have to sign waivers and still pay admission fees,
said Six Flags spokesman James Taylor.六旗游乐园发言人詹姆斯·泰勒指出,吃蟑螂的人将与游乐园签署法律上的弃权书,且仍须购买门票入园。The bug buffet continues with a cooked roach eating contest Oct. 13 —
Friday, Oct. 13.10月13日,六旗游乐园还将举行一次吃熟蟑螂的比赛。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国男子在2001年创下的吃下36只蟑螂的吉尼斯世界纪录。"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."泰勒说:“我听到人们发出‘哇’、‘呃’等许多一个字的惊叹声。许多人表示他们不会吃蟑螂,但他们对看别人吃蟑螂很感兴趣。”
