One restaurant in India is bagging the idea of a traditional doggy bag. Instead Pappadavada, a popular restaurant in Kochi, is urging customers and the community to put their leftover food in a refrigerator located outside of the eatery for the hungry to take.
印度有家餐館對傳統(tǒng)打包袋頗有微詞。這家飯店在科欽蠻受歡迎的,在路邊放了臺冰箱,現(xiàn)在正鼓勵客人還有社區(qū)居民把剩菜放入冰箱里供餓肚皮的人們?nèi)∮谩?/div>

?People who are in need of a meal are encouraged to take from the fridge at any time, for any reason. Minu Pauline, who runs Pappadavada, has nicknamed the fridge, which was placed there on March 23 and is shaded by a neighboring tree,“tree of goodness.”
餐館鼓勵需要餐飲的人們可以在任何時(shí)間從冰箱取食,米奴寶玲,經(jīng)營著帕帕達(dá)瓦達(dá)餐館,她愛稱其冰箱為“善心之樹”;冰箱是3月23日放在路邊樹蔭下的,緊挨著旁邊的樹。

The fridge is open 24-hours a day, seven days a week and stays unlocked. Pauline asks that people write the date they left the food, so those who take know how long it’s been there.
冰箱24小時(shí)開放,一周七天天天供應(yīng),而且不鎖。寶玲要求人們寫上他們留下食物時(shí)的日期,這樣取用食物的人就知道冰箱里放了多久了。

But most food doesn’t stay in the fridge for long. Despite a huge response from the community and ample donations, the fridge needs to be restocked regularly. Pauline herself adds around 75 to 80 portions of food from Pappadavada a day in the fridge.
但多數(shù)食物在冰箱里不會存太久。盡管社區(qū)反應(yīng)熱烈,捐贈的食物也足夠豐厚,但冰箱仍需要定期重新補(bǔ)足食物。寶玲自己每天也從帕帕達(dá)瓦達(dá)取75至80份食物添到冰箱了。

The idea to put a fridge on the street came to Pauline late one night when she saw a lady searching in a trashcan for food.
一天深夜,寶玲看到一個(gè)婦人在垃圾桶里搜尋食物,她便想到要在馬路上放個(gè)冰箱。

She was especially saddened because that particular night, her restaurant had made a ton of food that they could’ve easily given the woman, instead of her searching for it. She felt like she contributed to waste, and avoiding waste is what Pauline is focused on.
那晚她特別難過,她的餐館做了一噸食物,本可以給那位女士的,卻讓她在那兒搜尋(在垃圾桶里找吃的)。 寶玲覺得自己就在浪費(fèi),而避免浪費(fèi)一直就是她著力關(guān)注的。

“The only thing I want to discourage is that people are actually buying food and putting it in the refrigerator. But I’d rather people put their excess food they already bought but aren’t going to eat in the refrigerator instead of the trash bin,” she said.
“我唯一不推薦的就是人們真去把食物買來放進(jìn)冰箱里。我寧愿人們是食物買多了又不高興吃,這樣把食物放冰箱而不是直接扔垃圾桶?!睂毩崛缡钦f。
