Goofy personalised registrations like DUUUDE and BOO81ES park side-by-side with sombre memorials to 9/11 victims and cries to save the environment.
当然也有像“本大公子”和“我爱大胸”这种彰显二缺的个性标语同沉痛悼念911事件遇难者或者保护环境的标语车牌并列停放的情况。
But among this odd parade - there is one plate which has provoked a controversy like no other.
但是这些稀奇古怪的车牌们并没有像那张国旗车牌一样引发什么论战。
The design features the Confederate Flag and the words "Sons of Confederate Veterans 1896".
因为这张车牌上是一面南部联盟国旗和一段文字“1896年南部联盟士兵遗孤组织”。
It was rejected, twice, by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, who ruled that "a significant portion of the public" find the flag offensive, due to its historical association with slavery.
这张车牌被德克萨斯州机动车辆管理部门两次拒批,被裁决为“由于旗帜涉及奴隶制历史问题,对大部分公众而言是一种冒犯。”
"Why should we as Texans want to be reminded of a legalised system of involuntary servitude, dehumanisation, rape, mass murder?" asked state Senator Royce West at a public hearing about the plates in 2011.
2011年,德克萨斯州议员罗伊斯·韦斯特在一次听证会上提到这些车牌时说:“为什么我们德克萨斯州人要被迫想起那个充斥着奴役、反人类行为、强奸、大屠杀的法律制度呢?”
