在爱尔兰西北角、寒冷的大西洋沿岸的梅奥县,特里·麦克斯威尼(Terry McSweeney)和妻子弗朗西丝·凯利(Frances Kelly)开设了斯特拉·马里斯乡村家庭旅馆(Stella Maris Country House Hotel)。他说美国客人们衷心赞成这项禁令,但是他认为它可能已经损害了农村的食品和酒吧产业。
“As a result of the ban,” said Mr. McSweeney, a former Bostonian, “people started going to the take-aways to bring their hooch home, where they could watch soccer on the telly, and have their drink and smoke. As a result, tax revenue dwindled in rural Ireland, and some small villages started going down the tubes.”
“因为禁令,”曾经是波士顿人的麦克斯威尼说,“人们开始去外卖店把烈酒带回家,他们可以一边看足球比赛,一边喝酒、抽烟。结果,爱尔兰农村地区的税收减少了,有些小村庄开始衰败了。”
In bustling Ballina (population, 11,000), the former owner of the largest bar-restaurant in town said that one of the ban’s controversial elements — pubs being allowed to build separate smoking rooms with ventilation — actually increased his business and enlivened the town’s dating scene.
在热闹的巴利纳镇(人口1.1万人),该镇最大的酒吧—餐馆的前老板说,禁烟令的其中一项争议——酒吧可以建单独的带有通风设施的吸烟室——实际上有利于他的生意,活跃了该镇的约会景象。
