每日英語跟讀 Ep.K395: About Sweden - Seductive rubbish: Swedish dustbins scream with pleasure

"Aaah that was really good", "come back soon and do it again" and "Mmmm, thank you".

「啊，真是太棒了」、「快回來再做一 次」和「嗯，謝謝你。」

It’s not what you think. They are audio messages broadcast by rubbish bins in the southern Swedish city of Malmo, where authorities recently changed the voice from a man’s to that of a sensual female, hoping it would be more soothing.

別想歪了。它們是瑞典南部城市馬爾默的垃圾桶播放的語音訊息，當局最近將聲音從男人的聲音，改成充滿慾望的女性聲音，希望讓人感覺更為舒服。

Previously the voice thanking people for disposing their garbage was a male, barking out no-nonsense messages from the public bins.

原本感謝民眾丟垃圾的是男性聲音，這些公共垃圾桶會大聲說出嚴肅的話。

But in a bid to make the experience of throwing out garbage more pleasant, the voice is now a husky timbre delivering double entendres.

但為了讓丟垃圾的體驗更愉快，聲音現在變成了沙啞的音色，語句還帶有雙關意涵。

The dustbins were installed a few years ago in Sweden’s third largest city. A detector triggers the messages every time someone opens a dustbin.

這座瑞典第三大城幾年前設置這些垃圾桶，每當有民眾打開垃圾桶時，感應器就會觸發這種語音訊息。

Swedish bank robber busted by forgotten urine 瑞典銀行劫匪被被遺忘的尿液搗毀

A Swedish bank robber forgot to cover his tracks and left three bottles of urine behind after hiding inside a bank vault in Copenhagen for three days.

一名瑞典銀行劫匪忘了掩蓋自己的蹤跡，在哥本哈根的銀行金庫里躲藏了三天后，留下了三瓶尿液。

The 27-year-old man and his accomplice used the bottles to relieve themselves after sneaking into the vault on a Friday in May and remaining there until the bank opened again the following Monday.

這名27歲的男子和他的同夥在5月的一個星期五潛入金庫後用這些瓶子來緩解自己，並留在那裡，直到下週一銀行再次開放。

While inside, the robbers emptied 140 safety deposit boxes of at least $500,000 in cash and jewellery. But Prosecutor Frederik Larsen said Wednesday they forgot to take the urine when they left "so we were able to get their DNA samples from the bottles."

在裡面，劫匪清空了140個保險箱，裡面至少有50萬美元的現金和珠寶。但檢察官弗雷德里克·拉森（Frederik Larsen）週三表示，他們離開時忘記取尿，“所以我們能夠從瓶子里取出他們的DNA樣本。

The evidence helped prosecutors win a 21-month prison sentence for the Swede on Tuesday. His accomplice is still at large and the loot hasn't been recovered.

這些證據説明檢察官在週二為瑞典人贏得了21個月的監禁。他的同夥仍然逍遙法外，贓物尚未找到。
