英国超市用照片替代实物

Tesco has begun using pictures of asparagus, carrots, oranges and grapes in its fresh produce aisles, prompting ridicule on social media.

英国连锁超市特易购已经开始在其新鲜农产品通道中摆放芦笋、胡萝卜、橙子和葡萄的图片，此举遭到网友嘲讽。

Shoppers have spotted fake carrots in Fakenham, cardboard asparagus in London, pictures of oranges and grapes in Milton Keynes, and 2D washing liquid bottles in Cambridge.

消费者们在费克纳姆看到了假的胡萝卜，在伦敦发现了印着芦笋的硬纸板，在米尔顿凯恩斯看到了橙子和葡萄的照片，在剑桥发现了平面版的洗涤液瓶。

The tactic comes as shortages of truck drivers, pickers and packers on farms and food processing plants lead to low availability of some items in supermarkets.

超市采取此对策是因为英国的农场和食品加工厂缺少大卡车司机、采摘工和包装工，导致超市某些商品供应不足。

Problems at ports, where handlers are struggling to cope with a surge in deliveries for the festive season, are also leading to shortages.

港口的问题也导致了货源短缺。港口装卸工人正努力应对节日期间交货量激增的局面。

The rise of online shopping, has meanwhile led to many supermarkets no longer stocking non-food items, such as televisions, CDs or kettles, that they once did, leaving areas of empty space that many have been unable to fill with alternative products.

与此同时，网络购物的兴起导致许多超市不再像以前那样储存电视、光碟或水壶等非食品类商品，留下了许多无法用替代产品填满的空白区域。

Some have brought in other services, such as opticians, key cutting or dry cleaners to take up space.

一些公司还引入了其他服务，如眼镜店、配钥匙店或干洗店来填满空间。
