【用新聞學英文】People in Taiwan Change Names to 'Salmon' for Free Sushi 台灣民眾為吃免費壽司改名為「鮭魚」

🌏Article🌏 Almost 200 people in Taiwan changed their names to "salmon" to get free sushi from a restaurant. Japanese restaurant Sushiro offered a two-day promotion on March 17 and 18. The restaurant said that any customer whose name included the Chinese characters for "salmon," or gui yu, would get a free all-you-can- eat sushi meal for themselves and five friends. When many people started changing their names to "salmon" to get free sushi, the government had to ask them to stop. Deputy Interior Minister Chen Tsung-yen told journalists that the name changes caused a lot of extra work for the government. Journalists in Taiwan called the situation "salmon chaos." At least 186 people changed their names for the promotion.Some of the names that customers chose were very unusual. One student in Taichung changed her name to "Kuo Salmon Rice Bowl" — although she said she planned to change it back the next day. Other examples of unusual names were "Salmon Prince," "Meteor Salmon King" and "Salmon Fried Rice."   🌏Summary🌏 台灣將近 200 位民眾為了在一家餐廳享用免費壽司，而將名字改成「鮭魚」。日本餐廳壽司郎在 3 月17日和3 月18 日推出為時兩天的優惠活動。 該餐廳表示顧客只要名字包含「鮭魚」二字，就能免費吃一餐吃到飽。 在許多民眾開始將名字改為「鮭魚」以取得免費壽司時，政府不得不制止他們。 內政部長陳宗彥向記者透露，改名的行為為政府帶來額外的作業量。 台灣的記者稱此現象為「鮭魚之亂」。   🌏Words & Phrases🌏promotion促銷, 推銷, 宣傳, 升遷customer顧客character字, 字體 #每周二、四更新 #歡迎留言給Neil和Kitty鼓勵喔~ ----- 主持人：陳彣 (Neil)、陳茜語 (Kitty) ----- Apple｜Spotify｜Google｜KKBOX｜Fistory｜SoundOn 搜尋訂閱：英語Follow me ----- ▍教育電臺 ▍官網:https://bit.ly/39ISswV ▍粉絲團:https://bit.ly/nerpodcastlink ▍線上收聽:https://bit.ly/3cyxBhE Powered by Firstory Hosting
