星巴克要開設第一家「手語」門店!太貼心了

Starbucks has announced that it's going to be opening its very first “Signing Store” in the US for customers that are deaf or have hearing impairments.

星巴克宣佈,該公司將在美國為那些耳聾或有聽力障礙的人開設第一家“手語門店”。

The branch of the coffee chain is going to be launched in October this year in Washington DC, close to Gallaudet University, which educates students who are either deaf or hard of hearing.

該咖啡連鎖店將於今年十月份在華盛頓開設這家分店,這家店臨近加勞德特大學,這是一所為耳聾或有聽力障礙的學生設立的一所大學。

Approximately 20 to 25 of the partners who will be hired to work at the Signing Store will have partial or complete hearing loss.

這家手語門店將僱傭大約20~25位部分或完全喪失聽力的員工。

“This is a historic moment in Starbucks’ ongoing journey to connect with the deaf and hard of hearing community, hire and engage deaf and hard of hearing partners, and continue to find ways to be more inclusive, accessible and welcoming to all,” said Rossann Williams, executive vice president of US Retail at Starbucks.

“在不斷與那些耳聾及有聽力障礙的群體溝通,僱傭他們為員工以及繼續尋找包容、接納、歡迎所有人的旅程中,星巴克迎來了歷史性的一刻,”星巴克美國零食業務執行副總裁羅森·威廉姆斯說道。

The company has been praised for taking a step towards greater inclusivity of the deaf community.

該公司因更加包容耳聾患者群體而備受稱讚。

A lot of thought has gone into the design of the Washington DC-based Signing Store, from the apronsthat the partners will wear to the decor of the coffee shop.

從員工所穿的圍裙到這家咖啡店的裝飾風格,星巴克在設計華盛頓這家手語門店上有很多想法。

The baristaswho are deaf will wear aprons with an American Sign Language-inspired design, while the partners who aren’t deaf will wear pins that indicate that they know sign language.

耳聾的咖啡店服務員將穿上根據美國手語設計的圍裙,而聽力正常的員工將戴上表示他們懂手語的胸針。

Furthermore, artwork created by a deaf artist will appear both within the store and on the coffee mugs.

此外,一位耳聾藝術家創作的藝術作品將在咖啡店裡及咖啡杯上呈現。

Customers who come to the store who don’t know how to use sign language will be able to order at the counter using different forms of communication.

不懂手語的顧客可以在這家店的櫃檯用不同的溝通方式點單。
