　　英国连锁超市出售秋叶

　　UK-based supermarket Waitrose has been slammed by social media users for selling bouquets of "autumn seasonal foliage" at ￡6 apiece.

　　英国超市维特罗斯近日遭到社交媒体用户的炮轰，因为该超市出售成束的"秋叶"，每束定价6英镑(约合人民币52元)。

　　Photos of various tree leaves packaged in transparent plastic and arranged as flower bouquets went viral on social media recently, sparking controversy because of the product's price, six British pounds.

　　该超市将各种树叶用透明的塑料箔纸包起来，扎成花束的样子。这款树叶产品的照片近日在社交媒体上被疯传，因为产品价格而引发了争议。

　　Considering tree leaves can literally be picked up from the street this time of year, it's understandable that some people went after Waitrose, accusing the supermarket of trying to make money by selling something that is actually free.

　　考虑到现在这个季节树叶在大街上随处可拾，维特罗斯超市被指责靠售卖免费的东西来赚钱也可以理解。

　　Despite the generally negative feedback to its autumn-themed product, the British supermarket explained its decision to charge ￡6 for a bunch of tree leaves by claiming that it was inspired by a demand from shoppers.

　　尽管人们对这款秋季主题产品的反馈普遍是负面的，但是维特罗斯超市解释道，决定对一捆树叶收费6英镑是受消费者的需求启发。

　　Interestingly, there were those who seemed to somewhat justify the price tag of this bag of leaves by saying that it was obviously "high quality foliage".

　　有趣的是，有些人似乎在为这包树叶的价格辩护，表示这显然是"高质量的叶子"。
