江蘇南京推出全國首例食用小龍蝦保險
A large insurance company with branches nationwide is offering restaurants in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, insurance for a degenerative muscle disease that can come from eating crayfish. Insurance for crab and hotpot are on the way.
一家在全國擁有分支機構的大型保險公司，爲江蘇省南京市的飯店提供因吃小龍蝦導致的退行性肌肉疾病保險服務。而螃蟹和火鍋保險業務也將陸續推出。The insurance, offered by Ping An Property Insurance, is designed to protect the restaurants from claims made by people who get sick.
這項保險業務是由平安財險公司提供的，該險種是爲了保護飯店免於受到得病食客的投訴而設立的。A person diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis - or rapid muscle breakdown - can be paid a maximum of 20,000 yuan ($3,015). Five local restaurants have paid 1,500 to 3,500 yuan to be insured for a year.
診斷爲橫紋肌溶解症—一種迅速的肌肉萎縮—的患者能夠獲賠20,000元（摺合3015美元）。五家當地的飯店已經付給保險公司1500元到3500元不等來投保一年。
Zhu Qiang, a manager of the insured restaurants, said the insurance helps ease customers' worries, which will lead to increased business.
作爲一家已經投保的飯店經理，朱強表示，保險會幫助減少顧客的擔憂，這樣會增加飯店的生意。"Media report cases of rhabdomyolysis from time to time," Zhu said. "Though we pay great attention to food sanitation, we still buy the insurance to make customers feel more comfortable and safe."
朱強說道；“媒體不時的報道橫紋肌溶解症的案例，雖然我們很注意食品衛生，但是我們仍然購買保險以便讓顧客感覺更舒適和更安全。”Rhabdomyolysis, a deterioration of muscle fiber, has been associated with eating crayfish contaminated with chemical detergent residues.
橫紋肌溶解症能造成肌肉纖維的損壞，是與患者吃了被化學洗滌劑殘留物污染了的小龍蝦有關。Chinese doctors speculate that a kind of widely used "shrimp washing powder" can cause the disease, which may later develop into kidney failure or even death.
中國醫生推斷該病是由廣泛使用的一種洗蝦粉引起的，這種病後期會發展爲腎衰竭甚至死亡。"Fewer workers are needed to wash the crayfish, which are not easy to clean. The powder is now strictly prohibited, and restaurants that value their reputations won't take the risk of using it."
“這樣會減少負責清洗很難處理乾淨的小龍蝦的工作人員的數量。現在這種洗蝦粉已經被嚴格禁用，而且重視自己名聲的飯店也不願意冒險來使用。”According to a report released in August by Meituan, one of China's most popular online food-ordering sites, there are 17,670 crayfish restaurants in China, and the market is still expanding.
中國著名的網上訂餐公司美團網8月份發佈的一項報告表明，我國現在有17670家小龍蝦飯店，並且該市場仍在繼續擴大。
