Seeking the perfect holiday gift for the golfer who has everything? Try flavored golf tees.
假如你有个酷爱打高尔夫球的朋友，他家中与该项运动有关的各种用品一应俱全，那么你在节假日时到底送给他什么样的礼物才最合适呢？不妨试一下刚刚面世的带香味的高尔夫球座吧。
U.S. inventors John Packes and Ramon Peralta have come up a product line called Tasty Golf Tees in various flavors including mint, cherry, strawberry, and grape.
两位名字分别叫做约翰·派克斯和拉蒙·佩拉尔塔的美国发明家，最近研究出一系列被统称为“美味高尔夫球座”的新产品，这些球座带有各种不同的香味，其中包括薄荷味、樱桃味、草莓味以及葡萄味等。
Mint is the strongest-tasting flavor in the range.
派克斯说，薄荷味球座是该系列产品中气味最为浓烈的一种。
"It will knock out the foulest of cigar, beer breath within five seconds," Packes of Norwalk, Connecticut, told Reuters on Tuesday.
“它可以在5秒钟内将人从口腔呼出的最难闻的雪茄及啤酒的气味一扫而光”。
Packes said they came up with the idea while walking along the fairway one day and noticing that many golfers popped a tee in their mouth as they headed to the next hole or waited to tee up.
他说，这种创意的产生其实源于他们两人某天在一家高尔夫球场内沿球道散步时的所见所闻，当时二人注意到场地内很多正在走向下一个球洞或是等待击球的人均在口里含了一个球座。
Tasty Golf Tees, which cost about 25 cents each, are made from uncoated wood, which is sanitized and flavored. They look and play like regular wooden golf tees.
这些“美味高尔夫球座”由表面未刷漆的木材制成，它们都经过了消毒和加味这两道工序，每个球座的成本约为25美分，其外表和使用功能与常见的木制高尔夫球座基本相同。
