- 最近在社交媒體上有一則故事流傳，就是瑞典出現了烏鴉清潔工，不少人對此表示感興趣和驚歎 expressed their intrigue and awe.
- 這是一個已經進行了幾年的試驗計劃，就是由烏鴉撿起地上的垃圾，特別是煙頭，再放進特別為此而製造的「售賣機」(custom-designed / bespoke machine) 去換取牠們喜愛的食物，例如是花生或某些種子。
- 有網媒指這是一個動物智慧、市區創新和解決環境難題之間互為作用的引人入勝的例子（“It is a compelling example of leveraging animal intelligence, urban innovation, and environmental problem-solving.”）。
- 不過，雖然試驗已經進行了幾年，但仍未更廣泛地全市及市外其他地方推行或推出（a wider rollout for the entire city and beyond）。 其中一個原因是大家關注煙頭含有有毒的化合物（toxic compounds），會否影響烏鴉的健康呢？
- 相關報道引用了瑞典的項目創辦人的一句 “From the perspective that we can teach crows to pick up cigarette butts but we can’t teach people not to throw them on the ground. That’s an interesting thought.” （「我們可以教烏鴉撿煙頭，卻未能教曉人類不要掉煙頭，這是個有趣的思考。」）
Intrigue - 陰謀 / 興趣和好奇
Awe - 驚歎, 驚奇, 敬畏
Custom-designed, bespoke - 特別訂製的
Compelling - 扣人心弦, 引人入勝, 令人信服
