附翻译
Have you heard about all of the perfectly fine uneaten Happy Meals being found in
the streets of Japan? The culprit? Pokemon.
你有没有听说过，在日本街头发现了许多完好无损、一口未动的开心乐园套餐？罪魁
祸首是谁？是宝可梦。
A promotion at McDonald's in Japan caused a frenzy. Super fans buying the meals
just to get their hands on the limited edition Pokemon cards inside. Our Hanako
Montgomery is here to tell us about the collector's quest to catch them all and the
outrage from those in the fight against food waste.
日本麦当劳的一场促销活动引发了狂热。超级粉丝们购买套餐，只为了得到里面的限
量版宝可梦卡片。我们的花子·蒙哥马利将为我们讲述收藏者集齐所有卡片的追求，以及反
对食物浪费人士的愤怒。
For a limited time, McDonald's Japan was collaborating with Pokemon and was
selling Pokemon cards inside these Happy Meal sets. This collaboration was so popular
that hundreds of people were lining up outside McDonald's restaurants just to get their
hands on a Happy Meal set.
日本麦当劳与宝可梦进行了限时合作，在这些开心乐园套餐中出售宝可梦卡片。这次
合作非常受欢迎，数百人为了买到一份开心乐园套餐而在麦当劳餐厅外排起长队。
Now, some of these people were buying multiple sets, taking the cards, but dumping
the food, often uneaten. Videos of uneaten happy meal sets went viral on Japanese social
media and caused a lot of discussion and debate around the issues of food waste and
consumer ethics.
现在，其中一些人购买多份套餐，拿走卡片，却把食物扔掉，而且常常是原封不动。
未食用开心乐园套餐的视频在日本社交媒体上疯传，引发了围绕食物浪费和消费者道德问
题的大量讨论和辩论。
Also, some of the people buying these Happy Meal sets would resell the Pokemon
cards at a much much higher price online, sometimes 10 times the cost of an original
Happy Meal, which cost about US$ 3.5.
此外，一些购买这些开心乐园套餐的人会在网上以远高于原价的价格转售宝可梦卡片，
有时甚至是原价（约3.5 美元）的十倍。
McDonald's Japan also responded with a statement saying that it does not "tolerate
the purchase of Happy Meals for resale or the abandonment or disposal of food." Now,
this collaboration was so popular that McDonald's actually ran out of cards to sell and
they had to end the promotion early.
日本麦当劳也发表声明回应，称其“不容忍购买开心乐园餐用于转售，也不容忍丢弃
或处理食物的行为”。这次合作非常成功，以至于麦当劳实际上卖光了所有卡片，不得不
提前结束促销活动。
