ROME — One ad pictured a woman holding an hourglass next to the words: Beauty has no age limit. Fertility does.
罗马——有一则广告描绘了一名女子举着一个沙漏,旁边写着:美没有年龄限制,生育有。
Another portrayed a pair of baby shoes wrapped in a ribbon of the Italian flag.
另一幅广告上是一双婴儿鞋,上面用意大利国旗图案的丝带扎了个蝴蝶结。Yet another showed a man holding a half-burned cigarette: Don’t let your sperm go up in smoke, it read.
还有一幅显示一名男子夹着一根烧了一半的香烟,旁边写道:不要让你的精子随烟而逝。
They were part of a government effort to promote Fertility Day on Sept. 22, a campaign intended to encourage Italians to have more babies.
这属于政府为宣传9月22日生育日而开展的活动的一部分。这项宣传活动旨在鼓励意大利人生育更多孩子。
Instead, the ads set off a furor, were denounced as being offensive and within days were withdrawn.
但这些广告反倒引发了公愤,被人谴责粗俗无礼,在几天内就撤下了。
What they did succeed in doing, however, was to ignite a deeper and lasting debate about why it is that Italy has one of the lowest birthrates in the world, and what can be done about it.
不过,它们的确成功地激发了更深层次的持久讨论,促使人们探讨为何意大利是世界上生育率最低的国家之一,以及可以就此做些什么。
