The Irish smoking ban not only transformed pubs, but also breathed new life into hotels.
爱尔兰的禁烟令不仅改变了酒吧,而且给酒店带来了新生命。
“The ban has been a spectacular success,” said Stephen McNally, the president of the Irish Hotels Federation, which represents some 900 hotels and guesthouses. “We used to come home at night, and your clothes would have this horrible stench. Now our restaurants, hallways and bedrooms smell fresh.”
“这项禁令取得了惊人的成功,”爱尔兰酒店联盟(Irish Hotels Federation)主席斯蒂芬·麦克纳利(Stephen McNally)说。该联盟代表约900家酒店和旅馆。“以前我们晚上回到家,衣服上有那种讨厌的臭味。现在我们的餐厅、走廊和客房都空气清新。”
But not all Irish hotels are entirely smoke-free. The law allows hotels to permit smoking in certain rooms or designated floors. Mr. McNally estimated that about half of Ireland’s hotels are “100 percent smoke-free” but that this number is growing out of concern for maids’ health.
但不是所有的爱尔兰酒店都完全禁烟。法律允许酒店有吸烟房或吸烟楼层。麦克纳利估计约有一半的爱尔兰酒店“100%禁烟”,不过,出于对客房服务员的健康考虑,这个比例还在增加中。
In far northwest Ireland, in rural County Mayo along the cold Atlantic, Terry McSweeney, who with his wife, Frances Kelly, owns Stella Maris Country House Hotel, said that their American guests heartily approve of the ban, but that he believes it may have hurt the rural food and pub trade.
