双语看世界9大奇葩法律

Here is a collection of some of the eccentric laws in the world. We can laugh, we can gasp, we can only wonder…

今天小编给大家介绍世界上一些国家或地区的让人或可笑、或吃惊的奇葩法律法规。

1. Think before you chew

新加坡：嚼口香糖，你就违法了

In Singapore, chewing gum is prohibited. This rule was introduced because of the high cost and difficulty in removing stuck chewing gum from public premises. In particular, chewing gum stuck on the Mass Rapid Transit train doors stopped the trains from moving. It happened a few times and those were a few times too many. 在新加坡，嚼口香糖是被禁止的。制定这项规定是因为公共场所的口香糖清理工作非常困难且花费太高。另外，因口香糖黏在快速轨道运输车的车门上而阻停列车运行的事情时有发生，所以新加坡制定了此项规定。

2. Lighten up

丹麦：白天行车也得开大灯

Drivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles wi th their headlights on. You’d think this law would apply to night driving but it doesn’t. It is considered essential during the day as well or they may face a fine of up to $100. Studies have shown that this has helped a lot to avoid road accidents in Denmark.

在丹麦开车，司机必须开着车前大灯。你可能会以为这是针对夜间行车，但事实可不是这样的。该国法律认为打开车前大灯在白天也是必须的，如果违反规定，司机将面临多达100美元的罚款。研究显示这样的规定使丹麦的交通事故大幅减少。

3. To fail > to jail

孟加拉：考试敢作弊？那就坐牢去吧

In Bangladesh, children 15 and older can be put in jail for cheating on their final examinations. Every year, Bangladeshi government takes strong measures to stop cheating and carries out a massive media campaign to forewarn students through print and television.

加拿大：硬币留着容易花着难

In Canada, Currency Act of 1985 prohibits consumers from using unreasonable amounts of coins to pay for purchases. This means you can’t pay for an item in all coins (especially if it’s over $10). Even the use of dollar-coins is limited. The shop owner has the right to choose whether or not he wants to take your coins but doesn’t have to.

在加拿大1985年的货币法案中规定，消费者禁止在购买东西时毫无原因地使用大量硬币。这意味着你买东西不能全部用硬币支付，即使是买价格不到10美元的东西也不行。美元的硬币也被禁止使用。商店的卖家可以自行决定是否接受你的硬币，但并不强求。
