經典科幻文學:《宇宙盡頭的餐館》第2章7

“Share and enjoy,” the machine repeated and provided him with another one.
“Share and Enjoy” is the company motto of the hugely successful Sirius Cybernetics Corporation Complaints division, which now covers the major land masses of three medium sized planets and is the only part of the Corporation to have shown a consistent profit in recent years.
The motto stands – or rather stood – in three mile high illuminated letters near the Complaints Department spaceport on Eadrax. Unfortunately its weight was such that shortly after it was erected, the ground beneath the letters caved in and they dropped for nearly half their length through the offices of many talented young complaints executives – now deceased.
The protruding upper halves of the letters now appear, in the local language, to read “Go stick your head in a pig”, and are no longer illuminated, except at times of special celebration.
Arthur threw away a sixth cup of the liquid.
“Listen, you machine,” he said, “you claim you can synthesize any drink in existence, so why do you keep giving me the same undrinkable stuff?”
“Nutrition and pleasurable sense data,” burbled the machine. “Share and Enjoy.”
“It tastes filthy!”

“請分享，請享用。”機器重複了一遍，然後給他來了同樣的一杯。
“請分享，請享用”是獲得了巨大成功的天狼星控制系統公司投訴部的格言，目前它已經覆蓋了三顆中等規模行星上主要的大陸羣，並且是整個公司中惟一一個近年來實現持續贏利的部門。
這句格言就立在——或者應該說，曾經立在——投訴部設在依蘭克斯星上的太空港旁邊，字母足有三英里高，還有燈光照明。不幸的是，它太重了，以至於剛立起來不久就導致了地面塌陷。這些尺寸巨大的字母的一半穿透了辦公室，裏面當時有許多富於天才的青年才俊，都是投訴管理人員——當然，他們都死掉了。
地表之上，這些字母的殘存部分仍然保留着。它們正好構成了當地語言中的一句話，“把你的腦袋塞進豬屁股裏吧”。另外，除了某些特殊的慶典時刻，也不再往上面打燈光了。
阿瑟已經扔到第六杯了。
“聽着，你這機器，”他說，“既然你宣稱能夠合成出現有的任何一種飲料，爲什麼卻總是給我這種玩意兒？這東西根本咽不下去。”
“基於營養和愉悅感的數據。”機器嘟嘟地說，“請分享，請享用。”
“可這玩意兒喝起來糟透了！”
