在西方国家,万圣节前夜孩子们会把自己打扮得很夸张,然后挨家挨户地去要糖果,并大叫“不给糖就捣蛋(trick-or-treat)”。不过你大概不知道,玩这种游戏还有年龄限制,不是你想玩就能玩的。
How old is too old to go trick-or-treating? As Halloween approaches, Chesapeake, Virginia says the answer to that question is anyone over the age of 12.
几岁的孩子不再适合玩“不给糖就捣蛋”?随着万圣节临近,美国弗吉尼亚州切萨皮克市的答案是,超过12岁就不适合玩这个游戏了。
City officials recently announced that doorbell-ringing candy seekers over the age of 12 could face a misdemeanor charge, up to six months in jail, and $25 to $100 fines. They’re far from alone: WAVY’s hrScene reports that nine towns in Virginia have make it illegal for teens to trick-or-treat. The Associated Press reports that officials in Meridian, Mississippi, Bishopville, South Carolina, and Boonsboro, Maryland, also have set the cutoff age at 12. The phenomenon isn’t limited to the US: In 2017, Bathrust, a town in Canada, banned anyone older than 16.
切萨皮克市官员近日宣布,12岁以上的人按门铃要糖将会面临轻罪指控,最高可判处监禁6个月,罚款25美元到100美元(173元人民币到690元人民币)。不光是切萨皮克市,WAVY旗下的hrScene网站报道称,弗吉尼亚州的9个城镇已经立法禁止青少年玩“不给糖就捣蛋”。美联社报道称,密西西比州的莫瑞典市、南卡罗来纳州的比夏普维尔市、马里兰州的布恩斯伯勒小镇的官员也都将这一年龄定在12岁。这一现象不仅限于美国:2017年加拿大的巴斯拉斯特镇禁止16岁以上的人玩“不给糖就捣蛋”。
