《中英對照讀新聞》The condom you spray on噴式保險套

鄭寺音

It’s probably not a good idea to bring it along on a first date.

第一次約會帶這個,可能不太好。

Spraying your penis with liquid latex could give a wrong impression. But that’s how to apply the world’s first custom-fit condom.

以液體乳膠噴你的生殖器,可能給人錯誤印象。不過,世界第一種完全適合顧客的保險套,就是這麼使用的。

Proud inventor Jan Krause said it dries in seconds. And unlike conventional one-size-fits-all versions, there’s no problem getting a good fit.

自豪的發明者克勞斯說,這種保險套幾秒就會乾燥。而且不像傳統保險套一種尺寸到底,這種保險套要戴得合身沒有問題。

The German boasted "With our technology we could spray a condom on an erect elephant."

這名德國人自吹自擂地說:「以我們的技術,即使是勃起的是像大象的龐然大物,我們也能在上面噴個保險套。」

The system works a bit like a car wash. The man puts his penis in a chamber and presses a button to start jets of liquid latex.

這種系統作用的方式有點像洗車,男人把生殖器放在小盆中,按個鈕啟動液體乳膠噴出。

But men who tested the prototype were split in their reactions. Some said it was great because they could not find condoms that fitted them. But others could not imagine actually using it in the bedroom.

但試用者反應不一,有人說很棒,因為他們找不到合適的傳統保險套。但也有人無法想像在閨房中如何實際使用它。

Condom Consultancy in Berlin is waiting for a patent for the device. The chamber will cost about 17 and the liquid latex refills, which make 10 to 20 condoms, will be priced from 5 to7.

柏林的「保險套諮詢公司」正在等待這種器材的專利。小盆要價約17英鎊,可製造1020個保險套的液體乳膠填充物,則要約57鎊。
