A good butler knows just how to rouse one after a boozy night and now anyone can wake feeling pampered to the indulgent tones of the consummate valet.

　　到底怎样才算是一个称职的管家呢？他应当可以做到在主人通宵狂饮的情况下，仍然能够于第二天清晨将主人及时唤醒。目前，英国推出的一种"管家"闹钟就是这样一个称职的管家。

　　The Voco clock boasts an alarm of several morning greetings in the dulcet tones of Stephen Fry reprising his role as Jeeves from the 1990s television comedy series "Jeeves and Wooster", based on the novels of P.G. Wodehouse.

　　这种名为Voco的钟表所具备的最大卖点就是在它身上装配有一个能讲出多种清晨问候语的闹铃装置，人们由此可以重新听到演员史蒂芬·福莱在上世纪90年代播出的电视系列喜剧《吉夫斯与伍斯特》中做为吉夫斯扮演者所发出的悦耳嗓音。

　　The clock has nearly 50 different wake-up messages including: "Good morning sir. I'm so sorry to disturb you but it appears to be morning. Very inconvenient I agree sir." and "Come come sir. Let us not be defeated. Let us seize the day..."

　　Fry's character Jeeves was the gentleman's gentleman in the series to actor Hugh Laurie's eccentric character Bertie Wooster, rescuing him from scrapes with angry fathers and nutty aristocratic relations.

　　在该闹钟内储存有将近50条用于唤醒沉睡者的短句子，其中包括"早上好，先生。这会儿就将您吵醒我真是感到万分抱歉，但毕竟天已经亮了。我知道您现在一定会感到很不舒服"和"快点儿起床吧，先生。我们不应当继续睡懒觉了。让我们立即开始一整天的努力工作吧"等。
