天上下巧克力也是很妙！對啊，什麼時候能下瑞士手錶就好了！哈哈哈！開玩笑開玩笑，下點兒現金也行啊！一塊兩塊的就行，面值不用太大～
Residents of an industrial area of Olten, a town in north-western Switzerland, have been reporting chocolate powder raining from the sky for several days now.
瑞士西北部城鎮奧爾滕（Olten）的一個工業區的居民報告說，這個地方已經連續幾天下巧克力粉了。
If chocolate was ever going to fall from the sky anywhere in the world, it had to be in Switzerland. The European country is well-known for making perhaps the best chocolate in the world, so it kind of makes sense that a chocolate rain occur here.
如果說這個世界上哪裡的天上會下巧克力粉，那就非瑞士莫屬了。這一歐洲國家以製作最好的巧克力而聞名於世界，所以這裡的天空會下巧克力粉也說得通。
Anyway, reports of chocolate powder falling from the sky in the town of Olten started showing up online a few days ago, accompanied by photos of cars covered in the brown stuff. People could hardly believe it, but then authorities confirmed it and so did the company responsible for the bizarre phenomenon.
總之，幾天前，奧爾滕這個小鎮天空下巧克力粉的新聞在網絡上被報導出來，甚至還有幾張車上蓋著一層棕色粉狀物的照片。人們都不太相信，不過後來官方確認是真的了，而且天上之所以會下巧克力粉主要還是跟巧克力公司有關。
The town of Olten, in Switzerland’s Solothurn canton, is home to a Lindt & Spruengli chocolate factory, and a malfunction of the cooling ventilation system of a cocoa roasting line at the factory apparently caused the powdered goodness to be released into the outside air.
位於瑞士索洛特恩州的奧爾滕鎮是一家林德斯普林（Lindt&Spruengli）巧克力工廠的所在地，該工廠的一條可可烘焙線的冷卻通風系統出現了故障，就導致這些粉末狀的巧克力被釋放到外面的空氣中。
The strong winds that have been blowing in the area since Friday morning carried the powdered chocolate from the factory to nearby residential areas.
而周五早上的風很大，就將這些巧克力粉吹進了附近的居民區。
The chocolate factory has been working hard to fix the ventilation problem and emphasizes that the powder is no danger to people or the environment. Well, if that’s the case, I guess they could let it rain for a little while longer…
巧克力工廠花了很大力氣來修理，再三強調巧克力粉對人和環境都沒有傷害。嗯，如果是這樣的話，這巧克力粉再下幾天也沒關係。
People have been having a field day with this wacky news, from joking about walking outside with a ball of milk and cereal to catch some chocolate, to lamenting about it not raining Swiss watches instead.
自從出了這個消息，人們就開始拿這件事情開起了玩笑。說大家都開始端著燕麥牛奶到外面去接點兒巧克力喝，只是感嘆為啥天上就不下瑞士手錶呢！
