Forget the Big Mac attack. Now is the time of the snack attack. After years of slinging super-sized servings, some fast-food chains are starting to see the benefits of offering daintier bites. That includes mini-hot dogs, little chicken sandwiches and shakes that are smaller than a small.
忘記大麥克攻擊吧。現在是零嘴攻擊的時候了。超大份餐點當道多年後，一些連鎖速食業者現在開始看見供應小巧餐點的好處，包括迷你熱狗、小雞肉三明治，以及比小杯還小的奶昔。
It’s all intended to entice people who are searching for a small treat between meals, a cheap bite or a little something extra at mealtime.
這一切都是為了迎合在正餐與正餐之間尋找小點心、便宜簡餐，或是在正餐時多點一點點的人們。
This week, Arby’s introduced a lineup of sliders, with the miniature versions of its regular sandwiches costing less than $2 each. Earlier this year, Sonic introduced "Lil Doggies" and "Lil Chickies,"or petite hot dogs and chicken sandwiches, for around the same price. They were so popular the chain is bringing them back next week.
本週Arby推出一系列小漢堡，是標準尺寸三明治的迷你版，每個要價不到2美元。今年稍早，Sonic推出Lil Doggies與Lil Chickies，也就是小熱狗和小雞肉三明治，價錢也差不多，結果大受歡迎，下週將再度推出。
The more modest serving sizes are intended to serve a variety of eating habits, including the uptick in people snacking and eating smaller meals around the clock.
比較小份量的餐點，是為了因應多種飲食習慣，包括吃零嘴與少量多餐者增加等。
