US embassy sells loo rolls
美使馆搬家拍卖'二手货'

The US embassy in London is holding an online auction of "surplus property" and you only have until Aug 8 to bid for rare finds such as 1,200 toilet rolls, some broken vacuum cleaners and a scuffed coffee table. None of the items have any official US insignias or historical value. 
美国驻英国大使馆正在举行"剩余财产"网上拍卖。竞标这些"稀有"物品，诸如1200卷厕纸，几个坏掉的真空吸尘器和一个已经磨损的咖啡桌等的最后期限是8月8日。所有物品都没有美国官方标志或历史价值。

It is a curious jumble of items: desk lamps, a Volvo S80, boring bookcases, a circular saw, 22 plastic stacking chairs, five broken Dyson vacuum cleaners and a defective photocopier (price: ￡1; condition: scrap). Most useful, perhaps, is the 1,200 loo rolls, with the starting price of ￡100.

这些奇怪的拍卖品还包括：台灯、一辆沃尔沃S80轿车、平平无奇的书架、圆盘锯、22把塑料可叠放椅子、5台坏掉的戴森真空吸尘器和一台有故障的复印机(价格：1英镑、状况：已报废)。也许最有用的要算那1200卷厕纸了吧，起拍价是100英镑。

Armpits to be ad place

日企出租腋窝广告位

Of all the places to advertise on a living human being, armpits are probably at the bottom of the list for most people, but one Japanese company believes they are prime real-estate and is currently recruiting young female models willing to walk around with ads on their armpits. 

在活人身上所有能打广告的部位中，腋窝恐怕是多数人的下下之选，但一家日本公司却认为腋窝是打广告的"黄金地段"，该公司目前正在招募愿意在腋窝上贴广告到处走的年轻女模特。

If you're an executive who's had enough of traditional advertising, maybe you'd like to give armpit ads a try. For a fee as low as 10,000 yen per hour, Wakino will plaster your custom ad on the armpits of a young model who will do her best to make it as visible as possible. 

如果你是位受够传统广告方式的高管，也许你会想尝试一下"腋窝广告"。每小时只要付1万日元(约合612元人民币)，Wakino公司就能将你的定制广告贴在年轻模特的腋窝上，而模特会尽其所能让大家看到广告。

Wakino isn't the first company to use live women as advertising billboards. Back in 2013, Absolute Territory PR made headlines for advertising on young women's thighs.

Wakino广告公司并非首家用真人女性当广告牌的公司。早在2013年，绝对领域广告公司就曾因在年轻女性的大腿上登广告登上了新闻头条。

AI camera coming to stores

日企推AI摄像头识小偷

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to seep into our daily lives. Now, AI has been tasked with tackling a crime: shoplifting. NTT and tech company Earth Eyes have joined up to create AI Guardman. 

人工智能(AI)不断渗透我们的日常生活，如今，AI又被用来应对一种犯罪：入店行窃。日本电报电话公司（NTT）联手科技公司Earth Eyes打造出AI Guardman。

This is a new type of security camera that is backed up with an AI system that can detect behaviors attributed to shoplifters. Preliminary tests appear to be effective. Trials have been conducted by major retailers, and it is expected that the system will get stronger as it is used.

这是一种新型安全摄像头，配有AI系统，可以检测到疑似商店扒手的行为。一些主流零售商试用了该系统，初步测试似乎效果显著，预计该系统将在使用过程中变得更加强大。

The AI Guardman costs a fair amount. One camera, which has a range of 13 meters, costs $2,200 up front. Then, there's the $41 per camera monthly fee for usage of the cloud data it produces.

AI Guardman价格不菲，一个监视范围为13米的摄像头的预购价高达2200美元，此外，每个摄像头每月还需支付41美元的云数据使用费。
