If this summer you pay a visit to Milan, the fashion center of Italy, make sure you’re not caught slurping ice cream in the streets after midnight. Doing so is now against the city’s law.
如果今年夏天你造访意大利时尚之都米兰,那么切记不要因为午夜后在街上进食冰淇淋而被警察逮到。如今在米兰,这样的行为是违法的。
A new law was passed by Milan’s city council early last month, banning the sale of take-away food and drinks after midnight in bars and restaurants in some districts famous for their nightlife scene. It’s purpose? To discourage “the formation of nocturnal assemblies on pavements outside these businesses”, the city council said in a statement.
上个月月初,米兰市政府颁布了一项新的法律——严禁一些夜生活集聚地的酒吧和餐厅在午夜后向人们出售酒水和外卖食品。这么做的目的是什么呢?米兰市议会发表声明称,该举措是为了遏制“商铺外人行道上的夜间集会”。
The law has given rise to a number of protests. It reminds people of New York City’s ban on large-sized soda drinks and is another example of the government trying to regulate people’s lives too much. However, if you take into consideration the country’s bad economy and its high unemployment rate, the local government’s fear of “nocturnal assemblies” may be understandable.
这项法律遭到了许多人的抗议。这不禁让人想起纽约的“大包装碳酸饮料禁令”,同时这一举措也是政府设法干预居民生活的又一案例。但如果你考虑到这个国家低迷的经济以及居高不下的失业率,那么对于当地政府对“夜间集会”的恐惧就不难理解了。
