Got Hangover ? New Zealand’s ’morning maids’ help clean up post-party mess

宿醉纏身?紐西蘭「晨光女僕」幫你收拾派對殘局

Give yourself just 15mins, today! 通勤學英語

A New Zealand maid service cleaning up the homes of hung-over party-hosts has been inundated with requests for their services, from home and abroad.

紐西蘭一家專門協助舉辦完派對卻宿醉纏身者打掃房子的女僕服務公司,接獲來自國內外源源不絕的訂單。

Flatmates Rebecca and Catherine launched their cleaning service in Auckland. The service picks up the pieces from parties – cleaning up revellers’ debris (including vomit at NZ$10), cooking or buying breakfast for hung-over hosts – even doing coffee and painkiller runs.

住在同一間公寓的芮貝卡和凱瑟琳,是在奧克蘭市展開這項清潔事業。她們的服務是收拾派對結束後的殘局,包括清理尋歡作樂者留下的垃圾(有嘔吐物再加10紐幣),為宿醉的派對主人打理早餐,甚至還可以跑腿買咖啡或止痛藥。

Since launching on Facebook in early May, Rebecca and Catherine have been receiving requests from around the country, as well as calls from people in the US and Canada interested in franchising the startup.

芮貝卡和凱瑟琳5月初開始在「臉書」上接受預約,此後收到來自全國各地的訂單,也有美國和加拿大民眾表示,有興趣加盟這項新興事業。

Rebecca and Catherine are both in full-time employment, and squeeze their business into their nights and weekends.

芮貝卡和凱瑟琳都有全職工作,因此都是擠出夜晚和週末時間來做這項生意。

"When people answer the door they are usually really apologetic about the state of their house. But we’ve both been in our 20s and partied so it’s nothing we haven’t seen before," laughs Catherine.

凱瑟琳笑說:「當人們來開門時,通常都是一副對家裡的狀況感到十分抱歉的模樣。但我們倆都是廿來歲,也都參加過派對,還有什麼慘況沒見識過。」
