Christian 1 Poincheval is a 65-year-old French inventor who has dedicated 2 the past eight years of his life to making farts smell better.
65岁的法国老翁克里斯汀过去八年一直致力于“让屁味更好闻”。
He claims that his Lutin Malin — which translates to "crafty 3 imp 4" — line of pills ease digestion 5 and "perfume" farts into smelling like roses or violets. Poincheval claims that his newest creation, just in time for the holidays, makes farts smell like chocolate.
他宣称他发明的“狡猾的小鬼”药丸能帮助消化，让屁味闻起来像玫瑰花或紫罗兰花一般香。他最新的发明，“巧克力屁味”药丸正好赶上假期上市。
According to Poincheval's website, the idea for the pills apparently 6 came from a dinner with friends during which nobody could stop farting.
据克里斯汀网站显示，设计这种药丸的想法显然萌生于一次和朋友的晚宴上。吃饭期间所有人都止不住地放屁。
巧克力屁味
"We were at table with friends and after a hearty 7 meal, we almost suffocated 8 as our farts were smelly," Poincheval writes. "The winds were not very pleasant for our fellow diners. I had to do something."
“我和朋友吃了一顿大餐。但是因为屁味很臭，我们差点被熏窒息了。”克里斯汀写道，“吃饭时的屁让我们很不爽。我得做点什么来解决这个问题。”
That horrific dinner, in which a group of several adults seemingly farted uncontrollably in a public space, inspired Poincheval to fix flatulence forever. He claims the pills are made from organic ingredients like blueberries, fennel and seaweed and that he sells "several hundred a month."
这次糟糕的晚宴上，这些成年人似乎都无法控制地在公共场合放屁，这激发了克里斯汀想要彻底解决肠胃气胀这一毛病。他声称药丸是由蓝莓、茴香和海藻等有机原料制成的，月销量可达到几百瓶。
Poincheval told The Telegraph that he has many customers, especially around the holidays. "Christmas always see a surge in sales," he said.
克里斯汀告诉《电讯报》记者，他有很多顾客，尤其是假期期间。“圣诞节的销量总是一番再番”。
A bottle of 60 pills retails 9 for €9.99, or $12.50, which seems shockingly low for something that makes terrible things smell like good things.
一瓶药含60片，售价在9.99欧元，相当于12.5美元。鉴于能让糟糕的屁味变得好闻这一神奇药效，这个价格惊人的低。
