 Too lazy to carry your bag around? There’s now an app for that 不想自己拿包走来走去？有个可以帮你看包的app。 We all have baggage. 我们都有行李。 baggage: n. 行李 Luckily, a new app called StoreMe is making it easier for people to take a load off with its urban, on-demand storage service, which lets people drop off their luggage, tote bags and packages that they don’t want to lug around while they’re out and about. 幸运的是，一款名为StoreMe的新的app为城市里负重前行的人们带来了方便，一键存储业务，让人们放开了行李箱、手提包和包裹，在他们要出去转转的时候能轻松去掉累赘。 The free app available on iPhone and Android phones is already active in more than 125 locations in cities such as New York, D.C., Boston and Philadelphia, and expanding to metros including San Francisco and Chicago by the end of the year. The startup is intended to help anyone looking to go hands-free, from locals who don’t want to be tied down with gym duffels or briefcases on-the-go, to tourists in need of a place to stow their suitcases and shopping bags. 这款在iPhone和Android手机上的免费应用程序已经活跃在纽约、华盛顿特区、波士顿和费城等城市的125多个网点，并将在年底前扩展到包括旧金山和芝加哥在内的大城市。这个项目的初衷是为了帮助那些想腾出双手的人，作为当地人不想带着健身背包或公文包上到处走，而旅游者需要一个地方来存放他们的行李箱和购物袋。 “I was living uptown and running downtown, and I had my gym bag and I had some meetings, and I said, ‘Man, I don’t want to schlep these anymore. If I could leave this somewhere, I’d be a happy customer.’ That was definitely the impetus for StoreMe,” NYC-based CEO and founder Peter Korbel told Moneyish. “I see this as a local problem for commuters, as well as (for) the business traveler or tourist. We’re definitely seeing both of those in terms of customers.” “我住在上城，要去下城，我还带着健身包，还要开几个会，我说，‘伙计，我不想再这样了。如果哪里有地儿可以把这些存起来，我情愿付钱给它。’这绝对是创办StoreMe的动力。” 总部在纽约这家公司的首席执行官兼创始人Peter Korbel告诉Moneyish。“从一个通勤者的角度看这是一个问题，同样对于商旅人士或游客这都是个问题。从这两个人群我们绝对可以看到目标的客户。” schlep：v. 携带，搬运 impetus：动力;势头;促进;声势 Here’s how it works: Users download the StoreMe app and type in their location address. A number of different storage locations will pop up at nearby places, such as cafes, boutique stores or gyms. Once you pick the most convenient location, you’ll be prompted to tag your baggage as a small (tote, shopping bag, backpack etc.) or a large (carry-on or checked luggage) item, and the number of items you have. A photo of the bag is also required, to help the storage staff identify it easier. 它是这样工作的：用户下载StoreMe应用并输入他们的地址。附近可以存放包包的地址就会弹出来，比如一些咖啡厅，精品店或健身房。一旦你选定了最方便的那个地址，你就会被提示把你的物品标成小件（手提包、购物袋、双肩背等）或大件（登机箱或托运行李等）物品，并标明数量。还需要提供一张包包的照片，以方便寄存处的工作人员识别。 Then you select your pick-up date, and the app will give you an hour to drop it off once you reserve. Pricing varies based on location, size and how long you want to keep your stuff stored for. A small item is $2 for one hour, and $7.50 for the full day. A large item runs $3 for the first hour, $2 for every additional hour, or there’s a $14 flat daily rate. Some locations will even store your baggage for 24 hours. 然后你选择你的领取日期，一旦你预定了位置，应用程序会给你一个小时让你把需要存放的物品送过去。价格根据位置、大小和你想保存物品的时间而变化。一个小件是2美元/小时，7.50美元/天。一个大件首个一个小时3美元，每增加一个小时2美元，或者14美元/天的统一价格。有些地方甚至还可以帮你保存24小时。 StoreMe has grown to 3,500 users at a rate of approximately 35% month-over-month since March 1. 自3月1日以来，StoreMe的用户增长率达到了每月35%，累计达3500人。 Security is a top concern among StoreMe, so each location host is vetted by StoreMe team members, and the site must be equipped with cameras. “All locations must pass a strict vetting process by the StoreMe team, and items are insured up to $2,500 per transaction,” said Korbel. 安全性是StoreMe中最关注的问题，因此每个位置的店家都由该公司员工进行审查，并且该站点必须配备摄像头。“所有的位置都必须经过StoreMe员工的严格审核，每个物品的每次交易的保险金额高达2500美元，”Korbel说。 vet：检查;审查 Korbel is inspired by the Airbnb model, and has considered allowing hosts to store luggage in their homes to increase the quantity of storage locations for consumers. Currently, there is already one StoreMe host location inside someone’s home. He’s still testing out the waters for allowing non-retailers to house luggage, however. Korbel是受到Airbnb模式的启发，并考虑允许店家在家中存放行李，以增加消费者的存放点。目前，已经有一个StoreMe存放点是在某人的家里。不过，他仍在测试允许非零售商代收行李的可行性。 👇 |
