Recently, inventive vending machines have been popping up around France. Instead of dispensing sweet treats or sugary drinks, however, these kiosks distribute short stories. Created by literature-loving company Short édition, these savvy stalls promise to help pass the time, whether you're waiting at the airport, stuck at the train station, or even accompanying your significant other on a particularly trying trip to the mall.

最近,一种创意售货机在法国遍地开花。不过,这种售货机贩卖的不是糖果或甜饮料,而是短篇小说。短篇小说售卖机由热爱文学的Short édition公司发明,该公司承诺这种智能售货机能帮你打发时间,无论你是在机场候机,在火车站停留,还是陪你的另一半辛苦地逛商场。
Sleek in design and minimal in effort, each vending machine offers an appealing way for commuters and customers to kill time. To use the innovative inventions, simply choose your desired reading time: 1 minute, 3 minutes, or 5 minutes. Then, the machine will surprise you with a randomly-selected short story to occupy your time and make waiting around a bit more bearable—if at least for a couple of minutes!
每个售卖机都是造型优美、操作简单,让通勤者和消费者可以快乐地打发时间。要使用这个创意机器,你只需选择你想要的阅读时间:1分钟、3分钟还是5分钟。然后,售卖机就会随机选出一篇短篇小说给你惊喜,供你打发时间,让你的等待变得没那么难熬——即使只有一两分钟。
