Recently, inventive vending machines have been popping up around France. Instead of dispensing sweet treats or sugary drinks, however, these kiosks distribute short stories. Created by literature-loving company Short édition, these savvy stalls promise to help pass the time, whether you're waiting at the airport, stuck at the train station, or even accompanying your significant other on a particularly trying trip to the mall.
最近，一種創(chuàng)意售貨機(jī)在法國(guó)遍地開(kāi)花。不過(guò)，這種售貨機(jī)販賣(mài)的不是糖果或甜飲料，而是短篇小說(shuō)。短篇小說(shuō)售賣(mài)機(jī)由熱愛(ài)文學(xué)的Short édition公司發(fā)明，該公司承諾這種智能售貨機(jī)能幫你打發(fā)時(shí)間，無(wú)論你是在機(jī)場(chǎng)候機(jī)，在火車(chē)站停留，還是陪你的另一半辛苦地逛商場(chǎng)。

Sleek in design and minimal in effort, each vending machine offers an appealing way for commuters and customers to kill time. To use the innovative inventions, simply choose your desired reading time: 1 minute, 3 minutes, or 5 minutes. Then, the machine will surprise you with a randomly-selected short story to occupy your time and make waiting around a bit more bearable—if at least for a couple of minutes!
