欧盟新规:地标建筑前禁自拍

Be careful if you're planning to take any 'selfies' in front of iconic monuments this summer. A new EU law banning the posting of photographs on social media sites containing public buildings could be in force by next week.

今夏如果您想在地标建筑前自拍，可要当心了。欧盟很可能在下周出台一项新的法规，禁止人们将包含公共建筑的照片发布在社交媒体网站上。

The craze for tourists to take selfies in front of landmarks is on the rise, with an estimated one million taken every day around the world. While the law is aimed at commercial photographers, there are fears ordinary holidaymakers could be prosecuted and face a fine or even a jail sentence.

越来越多的游客在地标建筑前自拍。据估计，全世界每天会有一百万张此类照片。尽管此法针对的是商业摄影者，但普通游客恐怕也可能被起诉，并接受罚款甚至坐牢的处罚。

The rise of social media has spawned a raft of tourists for whom the ability to instantly publicise their trip is as important as the experience itself. The Eiffel Tower is the most popular spot in the world to take a selfie, ahead of Disney World in Orlando, Florida and the world's tallest building – the Burj Khalifa – in Dubai, according to tourist attraction site AttractionTix, which analysed social media to find mentions of travel hotspots alongside the world selfie. Big Ben is in fourth place, followed by the Empire State Building in New York, Gaudi’s iconic Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona and then Disneyland Paris. Rome's Colosseum, the Rockefeller Centre in New York and London Bridge were also in the top ten 'selfie spots'.
