This Machine Sells Eggs
Hi there! Today's news is about a vending machine. Vending means selling. So
a vending machine is a 'selling machine'.
"Vending" 的意思就是賣。今天的新聞跟自動販賣機有關。
You put money in the vending machine. You push the number of the thing you
want to buy. Then it drops down. You can buy candy, chips, or drinks from
vending machines. You can buy other things too.
你只要投錢，按按鈕選你要的商品，它就會掉下來。你可以在販賣機買到糖果、洋芋片、飲料，還有很多其他的東西。
There is a special vending machine in Tainan. It doesn't sell candy, chips,
or drinks. It just sells one thing: eggs! People love to see this egg vending
machine. They love to take pictures of it.
台南有一台特別的販賣機，只賣一種東西，那就是雞蛋！這台販賣機吸引了很多人來參觀跟拍照。
How much are the eggs? One egg is 25 NT. That's a lot of money!
裡面一顆雞蛋要賣 25 塊錢，好貴！
Do eggs break in the vending machine? No, they don't break. That's good. No
one wants to buy a broken egg.
But some eggs get stuck. They don't come out of the vending machine. That's
because the eggs are different sizes. But this can be fixed.
販賣機裡面的雞蛋不會破掉，但因為雞蛋的大小不同，有可能會卡在機器裡面，不過這個問題很好處理。
Do you want to buy eggs from a vending machine? I think I'll save my money
and go to a supermarket!
