{自译经典 温故知新}以小见大

“想为你的橄榄配一杯马丁尼吗?”
这橄榄来头真大,都得让好酒来配着吃了。
所以不要忽视小东西的力量,往往正是这一个关键影响了整个品牌。
比如我们都知道大象与老鼠的故事。
又或者是俗话说的,一颗老鼠屎坏了一锅粥。

你看,“老鼠”一直都是强者。

这篇Richard Foster写的广告,其实我是喜欢他的一箭双雕。
宣传一颗优质橄榄,顺道把销售它们的Sainsbury’s都推广了一番。
(当然这是甲方的意思)

“这么好的女王橄榄,只有Sainsbury’s有卖哦”
该给文案双倍的酬劳才行。

Would you like a martini with your olive?

the queen olive is twice as big as commoner olives.
And,some would say,twice as delicious.

女王橄榄是平民橄榄的两倍大。
而且有些人也说,女王橄榄要美味两倍

Its flesh is plump,but firm,with a luscious fruitiness that makes it the perfect appetizer(with or without the martini)
它的肉质丰满,甘甜果香,是开胃菜的不二选择(不管有没有马丁尼)

Like all Sainsbury’s Spanish Olivers,our queen olivers come from seville,the most renowned olive-growing district in spain.
We also sell the more familiar manzanilla olivers,either whole,pitted,stuffed(with pimiento of almonds)or marinated(in olive oil with garlic and chilli or with herbs)

和所有Sainsbury’s的西班牙橄榄一样,我们的女王橄榄来自塞维利亚,这个西班牙最著名的橄榄栽培区。
我们还销售更大众的曼萨尼亚橄榄,带核、去核、有馅、腌渍的品种可选。

All these oliver are green olivers,but our range would be incomplete without the black varitey.
Hence Sainsbury’s Calamata and Hojiblanca olives.

上面所说的橄榄都是绿橄榄,但是如果在我们的范围内,没有红橄榄的品种,那是不完整的。
因此我们有来自Calamata和Hojiblance的橄榄。

The Calamatas come from greece,where they are usually to be found adoming the classic feta salad.
Hojiblancas are stronger in flavour than their green cousins, which makes them the perfect partner to paella or pizza.

Calamatas是希腊的一个城市,在那里他们经常橄榄用来拌羊奶酪沙拉。
而Hojiblancas橄榄比他们的绿色兄弟要强大,通常被用来当作海鲜饭和皮萨的理想辅料。

As you may have guessed by now,Sainsbury’s offer a wider range of olives than any other supermarket.
So if you want the choice of the choicest olivers,choose Sainsbury’s.

你一定看出来了,Sainsbury’s提供了比其他超市更多的橄榄,
所以如果你想选择最好的,那么就选Sainsbury’s

Give us time,give us time.
而这一篇,也是小得很精致。
AMOCO油站。
logo小得都快看不到了,因为在全英国38000个加油站,只有360个是他们的的。

这看起来像是一个招揽联盟伙伴的广告,
标题很可爱,“给我们多一点时间”
虽然小,但是会有壮大的一天。

take heart!

Of the 38,000 petrol stations in Britain,something like 360 are ours.
Don’t laugh.

It was only in december 1963 we opened our first
Like nearly all the ones that followed,it was run by a tenant,not a manager.

The difference being that a tenant makes his money according to how much petrol he sells.
While a manager gets paid the same wage however well,or badly,he does.

We don’t have to tell you who gives you the warmer welcome.
The trouble is ,with so few amoco stations around,there may not be one near you.
Take heart.
360 stations in seven years works out at about one new one a week.
Next week could be your week.

给我们多一点,再多一点时间。
在英国有38000个加油站,其中有360个是我们的。
不要笑。
在1963年12月我们开张了。
像所有后来开的加油站一样,它是又承租人而非经理人去经营。
而一个经理人的薪水无论如何是不变的,除非非常糟糕,他们才会努力。

我们不能告诉你谁能给你们带来好消息。
但坏消息是,在为数不多的Amoco加油站中,如果你家附近没有我们的站点。

鼓起勇气。

360个加油站在七年里以每周一间的速度开了起来。
下周一是属于你的。
