科技前沿:美推出分享剩飯app 你會去吃剩飯嗎
Proving that the sharing economy has no boundaries, a new app will soon let users share their leftover dinner with strangers. Seriously.
分享經濟是沒有邊界的，現在有一款新的應用登場了，它可以讓你和陌生人分享剩飯剩菜。我是說真的。Launching at the end of July, LeftoverSwap will allow users to upload a photo and description of their pad thai, pizza or pho and connect them with hungry neighbors nearby.
“分享剩飯”應用是在七月底上線的。該應用可以讓用戶拍照上傳並描述自己的剩飯，無論是泰式炒河粉、披薩或是越南米粉，都可以上傳。上傳剩飯照片後，就可以和附近正在捱餓的朋友們取得聯繫了。But while the idea may sound a bit crazy, it might actually be contributing to the greater good: LeftoverSwap will start as a donation-only model.
雖然這個主意聽上去有點瘋狂，但是它卻可以做出很大的貢獻，因爲“分享剩飯”應用是以捐贈的方式開始運營的。
"If you get a good meal and you want to pay it forward, you can," founder Dan Newman told The Huffington Post.
“分享剩飯”應用的創始人丹-紐曼表示，“如果你得到了一頓大餐，你也可以付錢作爲回報。”Newman said that, while a payment model could be a possibility in the future, the app could also be more philanthropic in nature.
紐曼表示，“分享剩飯”以後可能會推出支付的形式，但是這個應用還是旨在做慈善。"There is hunger in the United States," said Newman. "Do those people have iPhones? Maybe not. But we're hoping to test this with iOS and potentially reach out to other platforms."
“在美國還是有很多人在捱餓。但是這些人有蘋果手機嗎？也許沒有。我們希望能和蘋果ios以及其他平臺取得聯繫進行測試。”"As long as there's another user near you," said Newman, "Anyone can join."
“只要你附近也有用戶在使用這款應用，你們就可以進行分享。”
