The Moomin Café in Japan seats?solo?diners with?cuddly?stuffed animals to make the experience of dining alone a little less lonely, Food Beast reports. (Sure, the stuffies might not be the greatest?conversationalists, but they have to be better listeners than your last date.)
根據(jù)Food Beast網(wǎng)站的報(bào)道，這家叫做Moomin Café的日本咖啡店（其取名源自芬蘭出產(chǎn)的動(dòng)畫Moomin Valley，中文譯名姆明一族、嚕嚕咪一家、姆明谷等）會(huì)給單獨(dú)進(jìn)餐的顧客提供可愛的毛絨公仔，讓他們獨(dú)自用餐時(shí)沒那么孤獨(dú)。（當(dāng)然，這些公仔可能不是最棒的嘮嗑伙伴，但是同你上一個(gè)伙伴相比，公仔們肯定是個(gè)更好的聽眾。）

The cafés are themed around?The Moomins,?a Swedish-Finnish book and?animated?series about a family of friendly hippo-esque?critters. Each location features food, drink and decor?inspired?by the?whimsical?franchise, but the main draw is clearly the?option?to dine with a wide-eyed Moomin of your own.
這家咖啡店的主題圍繞著The Moomins，這是一本瑞典-芬蘭的卡通書，也被制作成了動(dòng)漫劇集，講的是友善的河馬家族里的一系列生動(dòng)有趣的故事。得到授權(quán)后，餐廳的食物、飲品和裝修靈感都來自這部異想天開的卡通作品，但是餐廳的主線是很清晰的：就是可以自己選一個(gè)大眼睛姆明一起用餐。

We'd just like to point out that texting at dinner is rude, even when your date is a?stuffed?animal.
我們要指出的是，在吃飯時(shí)發(fā)短信是不禮貌的，即使和你約會(huì)的只是個(gè)毛絨公仔。

We're conflicted here: Would dining with a plush-y as your plus-one make going to a restaurant by yourself more palatable -- or does it just make the whole situation that much more embarrassing? Tell us what you think in the comments!
讓我們有爭議的是：把一個(gè)長毛絨玩具作為另一半是會(huì)讓你獨(dú)自用餐變得更加愜意，還是會(huì)讓你的用餐變得更加尷尬呢？告訴我們你怎么看！
