Norway's Olympic Cooks Gets 15,000 Eggs Instead of 1,500
This is What's Trending Today...
More than 100 athletes from Norway will compete in the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, which open Friday, February 9.
They and the other world-class competitors, of course, need plenty of good food to help them perform to the best of their abilities.
Norwegian cooks in South Korea must keep their nation's hungry athletes well fed. They have been placing orders for things like eggs, vegetables and meat at local supermarkets. They must use Google Translate to make sure Koreans understand their requests.
Ahead of the Games, the Norwegian cooks placed an order for 1,500 eggs. When the order arrived in a large vehicle, they received 1,500 eggs....plus another 13,500...for a total of 15,000 eggs.
"There was literally no end to the delivery," Norwegian cook Stale Johansen told Norway's Aftenposten.
The story of Team Norway's "scrambled" egg order was trending on social media this week.
Some blamed the problem on Google Translate. But there may have simply been a typing mistake in the original order. The Korean language uses a different counting system, so Norwegians probably would not have noticed their error once it was translated.
Luckily, the Norwegian athletes will not have to eat huge amounts of eggs for every meal during the Olympics. The cooks were able to return the extra eggs to the supermarket.
And that's What's Trending Today.

翻译出错 挪威代表团鸡蛋数量翻十倍
这里是《今日热点》节目。
来自挪威的100多名运动员将参加周五（2018年2月9日）举行的平昌冬奥会。
当然，和其他世界级的竞争对手一样，他们需要大量的营养食材帮助其发挥最佳能力。
在韩国，挪威厨师必须保证本国饥饿的运动员们吃饱喝足，他们在当地超市订购了鸡蛋、蔬菜和肉类等食品。他们必须使用谷歌翻译确保韩国人理解他们的要求。
奥运会开幕前，挪威厨师订购了1500枚鸡蛋。当订单由一辆大货车运抵后，除了需要的数量外，他们还收到了13500枚鸡蛋…总计15000枚鸡蛋。
厨师约翰森（Stale Johansen）对挪威《晚邮报》表示：“装运鸡蛋似乎没有尽头。”
本周，挪威代表团“炒蛋”的新闻在社交媒体上走红。
一些人将这一“乌龙”归咎于谷歌翻译。但是，在最初的订单中可能出现了输入错误。韩语使用的是不同的计数系统，因此，挪威人翻译完后可能没注意到自己的错误。
幸运的是，在奥运会期间，挪威运动员无需每顿吃大量的鸡蛋。厨师们可以把多余的鸡蛋还给超市。
以上为《今日热点》。
