'Chocolate snow' in village
瑞士小镇飘下“巧克力雪”
Residents of the town of Olten, Switzerland, located between Zurich and Basel, found their town lightly dusted in a fine cocoa powder from a nearby Lindt and Spruengli factory last week.
上周，坐落于苏黎世和巴塞尔之间的瑞士小镇奥尔滕的居民们发现天空飘下了"巧克力雪"，这些细微的可可粉来自附近的瑞士莲史宾利巧克力工厂。
The Lindt and Spruengli company confirmed to the AP the powder was a result of a cooling ventilation system malfunction, which spewed "cocoa nibs" all over the town due to strong winds in the area.
瑞士莲史宾利公司向美联社证实，由于工厂冷却通风系统故障，再加上当时该地区正刮大风，导致这些“可可粉”被吹得到处都是。
The nibs are crushed cocoa beans that are the basis for making chocolate.
工厂将可可豆压碎成这种可可粉，再在此基础上制成巧克力。
Photos of cars and other objects that were given a chocolaty coating have been shared by local news sources and social media. People have been responding to the news with good humor, of course, because who doesn't love the idea of living in a land of chocolate?
车辆以及其它景物披上“巧克力外衣”的照片被分享到当地新闻媒体和社交媒体上，当然，民众都以愉快的态度回应，因为谁能不喜欢生活在下着巧克力雪的仙境的想法呢？
