- Car dealer offers second car for free

Buy one, get one free : it’s a familiar sales pitch for happy hour cocktails or last season’s fashions, but now a Belgian car dealer is luring customers with just that line, Customers can choose from a range of new, full-price cars – the cheapest being 22,800 euro(≒ $28,930) Hyundai van – and then pick a second free vehicle from a selection that goes up to 14,000 euros.

자동차도 원 플러스 원
하나 사면 하나는 공짜, 해피 아워 칵테일이나 계절이 지난 의류를 판매할 때 사용되는 문구과 비슷하다. 그런데 벨기에의 한 자동차 대리점에서 바로 이 문구를 사용해 손님들을 끌고 있다. 새 차 한대를 정상 가격에 구매를 하면 – 가장 저렴한 차는 22,800 유로(≒28,930 달러)의 가격표가 붙은 현대 밴 – 최고 14000 유로 선에서 다른 차 한대를 무료로 선택할 수 있는 것.

- Crisis forces Russians to cut back vodka

The global financial crisis has grown so bad that Russians are cutting back on vodka. Stockpiles of Russia’s national drink were six times higher at the start of the month than the same time a year ago because factories are producing vodka faster than they can sell it. Deaths from alcohol poisonings have increased, as some Russians turn to dangerous vodka substitutes as they try to find a cheaper way of becoming intoxicated.

러시아에서 보드카를 안 마실 정도
세계적인 금융 위기가 악화되면서 러시아인들마저 보드카 소비를 줄이고 있다. 러시아의 국민 술이라 할 수 있는 보드카의 월 초 재고는 1년 전 같은 시기와 비교했을 때 여섯 배나 많이 남아 있었다. 공장에서 보드카를 제조하는 속도가 판매 속도보다 빠르기 때문. 알코올 중독으로 인한 사망 건수도 늘어났다. 일부 러시아인들이 값싸게 취해 보려고 인체에 위험을 끼치는 보드카 대체주를 마시기 때문이다.
