Subway employees will have to use a ruler to prove the chain is serving foot long sandwiches after a lawsuit found they were only 11 inches.

赛百味曾因三明治仅11英寸(约28厘米)遭诉讼，以后其员工将不得不使用直尺，证明该连锁店制作的三明治足够一英尺长(约30厘米)。

The world's largest fast food chain came under fire two years ago when a photo showing one of its sandwiches next to a tape measure went viral, which revealed it was just 11 inches.

两年前，一张照片在网上疯传，照片中赛百味三明治旁边有把卷尺，它显示三明治仅有11英寸长。这个世界上最大的快餐连锁店因此遭受责难。
