(2016-10-B)The Crowned Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen is offering a free meal to any guest who is able to produce electricityfor the hotel on an exercise bike linked to a generator (发电机)，The idea is to get people fit and reduce their carbon footprint. Guests will have to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity - roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness. Guests staying at Plaza Hotel will be given meat tickets worth $36 once they have produced 10 watt hours of electricity. The bicycles will have smart phones attached to the handlebars measuring how much power is being generated for the hotel.
任何客人能够在与发电机相连的健身脚踏车上为酒店发电，那么哥本哈根皇冠假日酒店会给他们提供免费餐。这个理念既能让人保持身材又能减少碳排放量。客人们必须生产至少10瓦时的电------对于一个普通的健康的人来说，大约需要15分钟的骑行时间。皇冠假日酒店的的客人一旦生产了10瓦时的电，就能领到36美元的餐券。自行车的车把上可以安装智能手机，用来测量为酒店生产的电量。
The plan, a world-first, will start on 19 April and run for a year. Only guests staying at the hotel will be able to take part. Frederikke Toemmergaard, hotel spokeswoman, said, “Many of our visitors are business people who enjoy going to the gym. There might be people who will cycle just to get a free meal, but generally I don’t think people will take advantage of our programme,”
这个方案是世界首创，将于4月19日开始，为一年。只有入住的客人才能参加这一项活动。Frederikke Toemmergaard，宾馆的发言人说，我们很多客人是商务人士，他们喜欢健身。也许有些人通过这一活动来赢得免费的午餐，但是一般情况，我认为不会有人利用这个项目来赚取餐费。
Copenhagen has a long-standing cycling tradition and 36% of locals cycle to work each day, one of the highest percentages in the world, according to the website visitcopenhagen.dk.US environmental website treehugger.com recently voted Copenhagen the world’s best city for cyclists. “Because Copenhagen is strongly connected with cycling，we felt the bicycle would work well as a symbol of the hotel’s green profile (形象)."
歌本哈格是有着悠久的骑行传统的国家，根据visitcopenhagen.dk.网站称，（状语前置）36%的当地人每天都骑车去上班，是世界上骑行比例最高的城市之一。美国环保网站treehugger.com近期也推举哥本哈根为世界上最适合骑行者的城市。“因为哥本哈根跟骑行的关系源远流长，我们觉得自行车可以成为酒店绿色形象象征。
If successful, the electric bicycle meal programme will be spread to all Crowned Plaza hotels in the UK, the hotel said in a statement. （状语前置）
该酒店的一份声明中称，如果该方案成功，电动自行车换餐费的计划会将推广到英国的皇冠假日酒店。（say :声称）
