7.Russia, Belarus, And Kazakhstan "Ban" Lace Undergarments

俄羅斯、白俄羅斯和哈薩克斯坦禁止穿蕾絲內(nèi)衣

In 2014 Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan introduced a regulation which requires clothing in contact with skin to contain at least 6 percent of cotton. Underwear not meeting the requirement was not to be sold in stores. But most luxury lace undergarments have less than 4 percent cotton in them, meaning that the regulation is practically banning it.

2014年，俄羅斯、白俄羅斯和哈薩克斯坦頒布了一條法規(guī)，要求接觸皮膚的衣服含棉量至少達(dá)到6%。達(dá)不到要求的內(nèi)衣不能在商店銷售。但是多數(shù)高端蕾絲內(nèi)衣的含棉量都不到4%，這意味著該法規(guī)實(shí)際上是在禁止穿蕾絲內(nèi)衣。

The reasoning for this was that synthetic fabrics don't absorb moisture as well and can cause skin problems. However, textile producers and shoppers were not happy about this and there were even protests against the ban in Kazakhstan.

推出這一法規(guī)是因?yàn)槿嗽炖w維織物的吸濕能力不夠強(qiáng)，會(huì)引發(fā)皮膚問題。不過，紡織品制造商和消費(fèi)者對(duì)此感到不滿，在哈薩克斯坦甚至有人抗議這一禁令。

8. In Public Pools In France, Men Can Wear Only Clinging Swimming Trunks

在法國(guó)的公共泳池，男性只能穿緊身五分泳褲

In France, swimming shorts are not allowed to be worn in public swimming pools by men; only skintight swimming trunks are allowed. Apparently, it has to do with hygiene, because men may wear their baggy swim shorts as normal shorts and then they may pick up dust, dirt, and such.

法國(guó)不準(zhǔn)男性在公共泳池穿寬松平角泳褲，只能穿緊身五分泳褲。顯然，這是出于衛(wèi)生考慮，因?yàn)槟行钥赡軙?huì)把寬松的平角泳褲當(dāng)成普通內(nèi)褲來穿，這樣他們可能會(huì)感染塵土之類的臟東西。

9. It's Illegal To Tell Fortunes In Baltimore, Maryland

在美國(guó)馬里蘭州的巴爾的摩市，算命是違法的

In the city of Baltimore, fortunetelling for money is forbidden and is punishable with a fine or jail: “Every person who shall demand or accept any remuneration or gratuity for forecasting or foretelling or for pretending to forecast or foretell the future of another by cards, palmreading or any other scheme, practice or device, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not more than $500 or subject to imprisonment for not more than 1 year.”

在巴爾的摩市，收錢給人算命是被禁止的，而且會(huì)被處以罰款或監(jiān)禁。“任何索要或接受報(bào)酬的算命者（無論是紙牌算命、看手相還是其他算命方式）都會(huì)被視為犯有輕罪并被處以最高500美元（約合人民幣3193元）的罰款或處以一年以下監(jiān)禁?！?/p>

10. You Could Be Fined If Caught Eating And Drinking Near Churches And Public Buildings In Florence

在意大利佛羅倫薩的教堂和公共建筑附近吃喝會(huì)被罰款

In 2018, the city of Florence banned people from pausing in the historic center to eat food standing or sitting on sidewalks, roadways, and on the doorsteps of shops and houses. For breaking the law, a person can get a fine up to €500. It was needed to stop people from littering and keeping the crowded historical center clean.

2018年，佛羅倫薩市立法禁止人們?cè)跉v史中心停下來站著吃東西或坐在人行道、馬路上及商店和房屋的門前臺(tái)階上吃東西。違規(guī)者將被處以最高500歐元（約合人民幣3892元）的罰款。這是為了防止人們?nèi)永屓肆髅芗臍v史中心保持清潔。

11. It's Illegal To Sell And Import Chewing Gum In Singapore

在新加坡，出售和進(jìn)口口香糖是違法的

Chewing gum was banned in Singapore in 1992, but currently it is not illegal to chew it, just to import it and sell it. In 2004, the ban had a revision and since then it is possible to buy therapeutic, dental, and nicotine chewing gum from a doctor or registered pharmacist.

1992年新加坡發(fā)布了口香糖禁令，不過現(xiàn)在嚼口香糖已經(jīng)不犯法了，只有進(jìn)口和出售口香糖才犯法。2004年，新加坡對(duì)這一禁令進(jìn)行了修改，從那以后，人們就可以從醫(yī)生或注冊(cè)藥劑師那里購買用于治療的、保護(hù)牙齒的口香糖和尼古丁口香糖。

The ban was introduced because vandals had begun sticking chewing gum on the door sensors of MRT trains, preventing doors from functioning properly and causing disruption to train services. Although they were rare incidents, they were difficult to fix and it was almost impossible to catch who did it. These incidents were just the last straw as the ban on chewing gum was brought up earlier, but not approved. Vandals were sticking their gum in mailboxes, inside keyholes, and on lift buttons. Chewing gum left on the ground, stairways, and pavements in public areas was hard to clean, so cleaning cost more and damaged cleaning equipment.

新加坡推行這一禁令是因?yàn)樾钜馄茐墓镎唛_始在地鐵的感應(yīng)門上粘口香糖，阻止感應(yīng)門正常開合，擾亂地鐵服務(wù)。盡管這是偶發(fā)事件，但是感應(yīng)門上的口香糖很難清理，而且?guī)缀踝ゲ坏绞钦l干的。早先就有人提議過禁止口香糖，但是未被通過，這些事件促成了禁令的實(shí)施。破壞分子過去會(huì)將口香糖粘在郵箱上、鎖眼里和電梯按鈕上。公共區(qū)域的地面、樓梯和人行道上的口香糖難以清理，增加清潔費(fèi)用的同時(shí)也有損清理設(shè)備。

12. You Can't Take Selfies With Buddha In Sri Lanka

在斯里蘭卡，不能和佛像自拍

Mistreatment of Buddhist images and artefacts is strictly taboo in Sri Lanka. And when you are taking a selfie, you stand with your back turned to Buddha, which is considered disrespectful, so you shouldn’t take selfies in front of it.

在斯里蘭卡，對(duì)佛像和佛教文物不敬是絕對(duì)的禁忌。自拍時(shí)，你會(huì)背向佛像，這被視為不敬，因此你不能在佛像前自拍。
