IT’S HARD being a Chinese tourist. Reviled for bad behaviour one day and ripped off by everyone from taxi drivers to pickpockets the next, China’s newly minted travelling classes are having a tough year. 身为中国游客可真不容易：一会儿因举止不当受尽辱骂，一会儿又遭到出租司机宰客、扒手抢劫。对中国新兴旅游人群而言，今年过得真心不容易。 In typical fashion, the Chinese government appears intent on regulating away some of that pain. On October 1st China’s tourism industry came under a new set of rules, most intended to curb corruption in domestic travel and ease the burden on guides, groups and tourists travelling within the country. The law includes at least one clause that seems to have been inspired by a series of incidents that have revealed the apparently bad manners of Chinese tourists, on the mainland and overseas. 一如以往，中国政府貌似又打算通过调控来解决某些问题了。今年十一，中国旅游业又迎来一套新政策，其中多数旨在整治国内旅游业腐败现象，并减轻国内导游、旅游团及游客的负担。政策中不少条例的制定，可归咎于以往中国游客的恶劣言行在海内外引发的无数事件。 |
