Hungry Germans craving a sausage in the dead of night are increasingly turning to vending machines for their bratwurst, bockwurst, and so on. The machines are booming outside German cities where shops are less likely to stay open for long hours, according to a survey by the German Press Agency.

在深夜裡飢腸轆轆、想吃香腸的德國人,愈來愈常利用自動販賣機購買巴雷特煎腸、博克香腸等食品。德新社調查顯示,這類自動販賣機在德國城市以外的地區大幅增加,因為當地商店的營業時間沒那麼長。

Some butchers’ vending machines sell three or four types of sausages, and punnets of accompanying potato salad – so customers can buy all they need for a traditional hearty German feast anytime.

某些肉商設置的自動販賣機提供3到4種香腸,還搭配一小盒馬鈴薯沙拉,讓顧客隨時都能買到一頓豐盛的德國傳統餐點。

There are over 570,000 vending machines in Germany, but despite their popularity they are expected to compliment, rather than replace traditional shop.

德國目前有逾57萬台自動販賣機,儘管廣受歡迎,人們仍認為這些販賣機只是為傳統商店增色,而非取而代之。

"Vending machines will play a complementary role in brick-and-mortar retailing," Wolfgang Kampmeier of the Berlin-Brandenburg trade association told the Berliner Zeitung newspaper.(The Independent)

「柏林布蘭登堡貿易協會」的沃夫岡.坎普邁耶向《柏林日報》表示:「自動販賣機將在實體商店零售業務中扮演互補角色。」(英國獨立報)
