Trouble is brewing for an American retailer after customers noted that one of its tea kettles bears a striking resemblance to Adolf Hitler.
一個美國零售商在顧客發(fā)現(xiàn)自家生產(chǎn)的茶壺酷似阿道夫-希特勒后,陷入了麻煩。
Bemused motorists took photographs of the huge JCPenney billboard advertising the kettle as they drove past it on the 405 Interstate highway near Culver City in California, one of America's busiest stretches of roads.
茫然的司機們在駛過加利福尼亞卡爾弗城405州際公路時,拍下了JCPenney茶壺的巨幅廣告圖。405州際公路是美國最繁忙的公路之一。
"That Hitler looks like a kettle," commented one user of Reddit, one of the several websites where the image was posted over the weekend.
“希特勒像茶壺,” 紅迪網(wǎng)一個用戶評論道,紅迪網(wǎng)是在過去的周末發(fā)布該圖片的網(wǎng)站之一。
"He even has his right arm extended," wrote another, while a third added: "I'm a little Nazi, short and stout".
“他甚至還伸出了右胳膊,”另一個人寫到,還有一個用戶補充:“我是個小納粹,矮矮又胖胖?!?/div>
Things that look Hitler have become a popular web meme - with the genre perhaps defined by the house in Swansea that bears an unsettling resemblance to the Nazi Fuhrer.
長得像希特勒的東西已經(jīng)變成了網(wǎng)絡流行潮流——類型可參考威爾斯南部斯溫西那幢和這位納粹元首長得微妙相似的房子。
The kettle - officially the Michael Graves Design Bells and Whistles Stainless Steel Tea Kettle - retails for £35.08 on the JCPenney website, and can be delivered to the UK.
這個茶壺的全稱叫邁克爾-格雷夫斯設計響聲不銹鋼茶壺,在JCPenney網(wǎng)上售價為35.08英鎊,并可以派送到英國。
"This stainless steel tea kettle has all the bells and whistles you'll need - a cool-touch handle, space-saving design and a delightful whistle to let you know when it's ready to pour," the website stated.
“這個不銹鋼茶壺有你想要的所有裝飾——一個觸手不燙的把手,節(jié)約空間的設計和聲音愉悅的響聲,讓你知道它什么時候水煮開了可以倒出來了,”網(wǎng)站描述道。
One reviewer on the website noted that she loved the kettle's "sleek European design". "My kids love when it boils and starts to whistle," she wrote. "I can not say enough good things about this!"
一位用戶在網(wǎng)站反饋評論表示,她喜歡水壺的“光滑歐洲設計”。“我的孩子喜歡它煮沸并發(fā)出響聲的時候,” 她寫道。“我無法用更美好的話語來形容它!”
A second reviewer was less enthralled, however, describing the quality of the kettle as "extremely poor". "Mostly (sic) importantly the kettle's bell does NOT ring and its whistle volume is extremely low!" the consumer wrote.
然而另一個用戶卻沒有這么喜歡,表示那個茶壺質量“相當差”?!白钪匾氖?,那個茶壺鈴會不響,而且它的聲音特別??!” 這位用戶這樣寫道。
When listing pros, however, the same user noted that the appliance "looks beautiful".
不過在列茶壺的優(yōu)點時,這位用戶也寫道了它的外形“看起來很美”。
