The Spice Girls with their scooters 辣妹骑在电单车上

　　The Spice Girls face a legal bill of ￡400,000 after losing a High Court case over a sponsorship agreement.
　　Mrs Justice Arden ruled after a hearing in February that the group had lost their ￡218,000 claim against Aprilia World Service, which sponsored their 1998 Spiceworld tour.
　　The company signed a contract with the act worth more than ￡500,000 to promote its products, including a special Spice Sonic scooter with a silhouette of the five Spice Girls on it.

辣妹吃罚单

　　辣妹乐队由于在一场赞助合同官司中被高级法院判为败诉而吃到了一张40万英镑的罚单。

　　在今年二月，法官阿尔丁夫人在听证会后宣布辣妹小组对98年赞助她们Spiceworld世界巡回演唱会的Aprilia World Service公司的21万8千英镑的索赔失败。

　　这家公司为了推销产品通过这次演出和辣妹签订了一个价值高于50万英镑的合同，其中包括他们的Spice Sonic电单车，并专门为此推出了一张辣妹们骑在车上的宣传画。
