  • A juicy burger has sold at a charity auction1 in Dubai... for $10,000.

    在迪拜的一个慈善拍卖会上,一个美味多汁的汉堡竟然被拍到了...1万美元。

    Asma Al Fahim, founder2 of Dubai lifestyle magazine Villa3 88, phoned in the winning bid.

    迪拜生活休闲杂志Villa 88的创始人阿斯玛·阿尔·法希姆通过电话赢下了此次拍卖。

    The giant burger contained seven beef patties -- one for each of the emirates in the United Arab Emirates -- aged cheddar cheese and veal4 bacon strips in a saffron brioche bun.

    这款巨型汉堡包包含7层牛肉饼--分别代表7个酋长国,此外熟切达干酪和牛肉培根则包在藏红花奶油蛋卷里。

    It was prepared by Russell, culinary director at Le Gourmet5 in Dubai's Galeries Lafayette, and a member of Qatar's royal family, Mohammed Al Thani.

    该汉堡是由迪拜Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet烹饪总监拉塞尔·和卡塔尔皇家厨师默罕默德·阿尔·萨尼共同完成的。

    "Two years ago we broke the world record by selling one burger for $7,000, and this year we wanted to top that," Al Thani said in a statement. "All proceeds will go to breast cancer awareness6 and free detection at an earlier stage."

    阿尔·萨尼在一份声明中说道:“两年前,我们以7000美元的价格卖出了一个汉堡,打破了世界纪录,今年我们想拍出更高价!拍到的所有金额都将用于早期乳腺癌意识宣传及免费检测服务当中。”

    The auction was run by Pink Caravan7, which campaigns to raise awareness of breast cancer.

    这次拍卖会由Pink Caravan主办的,旨在提高人们对乳腺癌的认识。

    Al Fahim said she wanted to support a good cause and honor former Pink Caravan director Ameera Karam, who died in a house fire last year.

    阿尔·法希姆表示,她一直想找一个好的理由来纪念去年在一次房屋失火中丧生的Pink Caravan前总监阿梅拉·卡拉姆。
