Miniskirts to be banned

意大利小镇禁穿超短裙

意大利小镇禁穿超短裙

The mayor of Castellammare di Stabia, a southern Italian beach town, has ordered police officers to fine women who wear very short miniskirts as part of a battle to raise what he describes as the level of public decorum, the Guardian reports. Police will get the power to hand out €300 fines to offenders. Explaining what he meant by "very short," the mayor said officers would target women wearing miniskirts that did not fully cover their underwear. "The display of too much cleavage will also earn a fine," a spokesman added. The miniskirt ban is one of 41 new decorum measures. Swearing in public, kicking footballs in the street, lying on benches, climbing trees and walking a dog with a lead longer than two meters will also be targeted.

据英国《卫报》报道,意大利南部海滨小镇斯塔比亚海堡的警官们已接到镇长命令,为使小镇看起来更加端庄,将对身穿超短裙的女性处以300欧元罚款。至于到底多“短”才该罚,镇长解释说,如果某女所穿的超短裙没有将内裤完全盖住的话就会被罚。一名发言人补充说:“乳沟露得太多也会被罚。”据悉,禁穿超短裙只是该镇旨在提升文明礼仪程度的41项措施之一。在公共场合叫骂﹑在街头踢足球﹑在长椅上躺着﹑爬树﹑以及用两米以上的绳索遛狗等都是不容许的。
