Munich pub finds way to beat frying crunch   A Munich brewpub has found a novel way to beat Europe’s cooking oil shortages - letting customers pay for their beer with sunflower oil to ensure plentiful stocks for frying schnitzels. 慕尼黑一家啤酒館找出一種創新的方法來擊退歐洲的食用油短缺問題 - 讓顧客用葵花籽油來支付他們的啤酒,藉此確保炸肉排的油有充足的庫存。 With Ukraine and Russia accounting for about 80% of global exports of sunflower seed oil, many European countries including Germany have seen supplies dwindle since Russia invaded its neighbour in February. 烏克蘭和俄羅斯的葵花籽油出口量佔全球約80%,自2月俄羅斯入侵這個鄰國以來,包括德國在內的許多歐洲國家都出現葵花籽油供應不足的現象。 Managers at the Giesinger Brewery, a brewhouse and pub in the southern city of Munich, think they may have the answer, offering beer lovers a litre of their favourite brew for the same quantity of sunflower oil. 在南方城市慕尼黑的這家啤酒廠兼酒館「吉辛格啤酒廠」的經理人,認為他們可能有了解答,提供啤酒愛好者一公升他們最愛的啤酒,來換取同樣數量的葵花籽油。 "The whole thing came up because we simply ran out of oil in the kitchen and that’s why we have to be inventive," the pub manager, Erik Hoffmann, told Reuters TV. 酒館經理艾瑞克.霍夫曼告訴路透電視,「這整件事情會發生,純粹是因為我們廚房的油用完了,那就是為什麼我們必須要別出心裁」。 While a litre of beer costs about 7 euros in German pubs, a one-litre bottle of sunflower oil retails for about 4.5 euros - making the offer tempting for many customers. 一公升的啤酒在德國酒館要價約7歐元,而一公升瓶裝的葵花籽油零售價則約為4.5歐元,因此這個提案對許多顧客充滿誘惑力。   Next Article   German government distances itself from navy chief’s comments on Putin 德國政府撇清與海軍司令對普廷評論的關係 The German government distanced itself from comments made by its navy chief after video footage emerged in which the vice-admiral said Russian President Vladimir Putin deserved respect and that Kyiv would never win back annexed Crimea from Moscow. 德國政府在海軍司令談話影片曝光後撇清關係;影片中這名中將說,俄羅斯總統普廷值得受到尊重,基輔將永遠無法從莫斯科手中奪回被兼併的克里米亞。 German Navy Chief Kay-Achim Schoenbach apologized for his "rash" comments, published on YouTube and widely circulated on German media, and called them a mistake. 德國海軍司令凱—阿希姆‧薛恩巴赫為他的「輕率」談話道歉,聲稱那些評論是個錯誤。這些談話在YouTube上被公開,並且在德國媒體廣為流傳。 In the video, Schoenbach, speaking in English, says Putin seeks to be treated at eye level by the West. "What he (Putin) really wants is respect," Schoenbach says. 在那段影片中,以英語發言的薛恩巴赫說,普廷尋求被西方平等對待。「他(普廷)真正想要的是尊重」,薛恩巴赫說。
