《The Fridge That Kept Ordering Pickles》封面

Mira and Kofi had a smart fridge. It can order food by itself. Last Tuesday, Mira opened the fridge. "We need more pickles, I think," she said. The fridge heard her words and understood something different. It started a weekly pickle order.

米拉和科菲有一台智能冰箱。它能自己订食物。上个星期二,米拉打开冰箱,说:“我想我们需要多买点腌黄瓜。”冰箱听到了她的话,却理解成了别的意思。它开始了每周一次的腌黄瓜订单。

On Friday, a truck stopped outside their house. The driver carried in six jars of pickles. Mira looked at Kofi and said, "We didn't order this."

星期五,一辆货车停在他们家门外。司机搬进来六罐腌黄瓜。米拉看着科菲说:“我们没订这个啊。”

"Maybe the fridge did," Kofi said. He opened the fridge app on his phone. The screen showed one order after another, all for pickles.

“也许是冰箱订的,”科菲说。他在手机上打开冰箱的应用。屏幕上一个接一个都是订单,全是腌黄瓜。

"I only said it once," Mira said. "Why does it keep ordering more?"

“我只说了一次,”米拉说,“它怎么还一直订?”

Kofi checked the settings. He found a button called "Repeat This Order Every Week." The fridge turned it on by mistake.

科菲查看了设置。他找到一个按钮,叫“每周重复此订单”。冰箱错误地把它打开了。

"Here it is," Kofi said. He pressed the button and turned the setting off.

“在这儿呢,”科菲说。他按下按钮,把这个设置关掉了。

The next day, no truck came. Mira laughed and opened a jar of pickles from the pile. "We have enough pickles for a whole year now," she said.

第二天,没有货车来。米拉笑着从那一堆里打开一罐腌黄瓜。“我们现在有够吃一整年的腌黄瓜了,”她说。

"At least we know the fridge can hear us," Kofi said.

“至少我们知道冰箱听得见我们说话,”科菲说。

Mira put six jars in the cupboard. She put two more in the fridge door. She made a plan to check the app every week.

米拉把六罐放进橱柜,又把两罐放进冰箱门里。她定了个计划:每周都要查看一下那个应用。
