《华尔街日报》员工于Pret A Manger沙拉中惊现死青蛙
While eating her lunch-time salad, a Wall Street Journal employee found an unexpected ingredient - a frog.
在享用午餐沙拉时，《华尔街日报》(The Wall Street Journal)一名员工发现了一味意想不到的佐料――一只青蛙。After opening a Pret A Manger nicoise salad at her desk, and eating about half of it, she discovered an approximately two inch long green and brown dead frog in the lettuce. She summoned nearby coworkers to confirm what she saw.
这名员工坐在办公桌旁，打开从Pret A Manger店里买来的法式尼斯沙拉，美滋滋地吃到一半时才赫然发现，生菜之中有一只大约两英寸、绿褐相间的死青蛙。她连忙呼唤附近的其他同事来看，确认她没有眼花。Ellen Roggemann, vice president of brand marketing for the company in the U.S., said that Pret A Manger's goal of selling 'handmade natural food,' often made from organic ingredients, could be partially to blame for the frog in the salad.
负责Pret A Manger美国市场品牌营销的副总裁罗格曼(Ellen Roggemann)说，公司的目标是销售“手工制天然食品”，通常取材自有机原料，这可能是沙拉中惊现死青蛙的部分原因。
'We don't use any pesticides with our greens and they go through multiple washing cycles,' she said. 'An unfortunate piece of organic matter has made its way through,' she added.
她说，公司的绿色蔬菜都没有使用农药，而且经过了数道清洗工序。她补充说，一个不幸的有机物成功地混了进来。The Wall Street Journal employee brought her salad back to where she purchased it, the Pret location on 6th Ave between 47th and 48th street across from the company's office in New York. After handing the salad with frog to the store's manager, the manager apologized, said the Wall Street Journal employee who declined to be named. She received a refund and a voucher for a free lunch, she said.
本报员工购买上述沙拉的店面位于纽约曼哈顿第六大道，47街与48街之间，就在公司办公室对面。那位不愿意具名的《华尔街日报》员工说，她将沙拉拿回店里给经理看，后者向她致歉。这名员工说，店里给她退了钱，还给了她一张免费午餐兑换券。'We are so regretful that this has happened,' said Ms. Roggemann.
罗格曼说，发生了这样的事，我们感到很遗憾。Pret issued a statement about the incident:
Pret就此事发布了一份声明，译文如下：'At Pret A Manger, we take issues like this very seriously. Our lettuce is sourced from farms that do not use any pesticides on its produce, therefore organic matter does very rarely manage to pass through our production process. We are currently looking into this issue to make every effort that this does not happen again.'
Pret A Manger非常严肃地看待此类事件。我们的生菜来自不使用农药的牧场，因此在十分罕见的情况下，有机物确实可能混入生产流程。我们正在调查这次事件，尽一切努力确保此类事件不再发生。
