It was supposed to be a day of drudgery with millions facing lengthy commutes on crowded buses and packed cycle lanes. But the Tube strike hasn't been all bad, with some Londoners even benefiting from the chaos with free gifts.

每天，上百万人都要经历漫长的通勤，要么是在拥挤的公交，要么在水泄不通的自行车道，这的确是件苦差事儿!不过，地铁罢工也不全是倒霉事儿，毕竟一些伦敦人还因这场躁动获得了免费礼物。

Insurance firm Direct Line has set about 'fixing' commuters' travel-related problems by sending them stress-relief packages complete with deodorant, scented sprays and bottled water. Contacting people on Twitter, the company also dished out vouchers for Topshop, The Sunglass Hut and boxed up Pret-A-Manger lunches to brighten people's days. Among other gifts were bottles of aftersun to soothe sunburnt limbs and boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

英国直线保险公司已经着手准备，通过给通勤者递送解压包裹，替他们“解决交通烦心事儿，包裹里有体香剂、芳香喷雾和瓶装水。通过在推特与人们互动，直线保险公司会分发Topshop(英国快时尚品牌)、The Sunglass Hut(太阳镜品牌)的代金券，以及Pret-A-Manger(英国老牌快餐厅)的午餐盒饭，让人们心情愉悦。其他的礼物还有瓶装的晒后修复用品以呵护晒伤的身体，以及Krispy Kreme(卡卡圈坊)的盒装甜甜圈。
