Cold medicine
比买感冒药容易
Medicine: There’s a limit on how much of some cold medicine you can buy every month。 That’s because the active ingredient in those cold medicines is pseudoephedrine。 It’s also a key ingredient in making meth。 So, the feds want to make sure the medicine isn’t used for something else。
药物:每月最多可以买多少感冒药是有限制的。这是因为,这些感冒药中的所含的活性成分是伪麻黄碱。它也是制造冰毒的主要成分。因此,政府要确保药物不是用来做其他的事。
Gun: There’s no federal law that limits how many you buy。
枪支:立法并未限制购买枪支的数量。
A divorce
比办离婚容易
Divorce: In some states, waiting for your divorce to be final will have you cooling your heels for up to six months。
离婚:在某些州,离个婚有时得等上六个月才行。
Gun: Whether you buy online or in person, there are no waiting periods for gun purchases -- unless you live in the nine states (and D.C。) that require it。 But even then, it’ll keep you from your gun for no more than a handful of days。
枪支:不管你是在网上购买还是私人购买,除了在特定的9个州外(以及华盛顿特区),都没有等待期。但即便如此,也不过是几天的功夫。
