想去泰国旅游的朋友们注意了！今后如果你在海滩上想美美地吸一支烟，你面临的可能是一年监禁和十万泰铢罚款。从11月开始，泰国要在全国的20处海滩全面禁烟。 Thailand is to ban smoking on some of the country’s most popular tourist beaches, with the prospect of up to a year in prison for those caught lighting up, according to reports by local media. 据当地媒体报道，泰国将在该国一些最有名的旅游海滩禁烟。违禁者将面临1年监禁。 The move follows a recent survey of litter on Patong beach, Phuket – visited by millions of foreign tourists each year – which found an average of 0.76 cigarette butts per square metre in a sample area, which would amount to 101,058 butts on the 2.5km-long stretch of sand. 禁令出台前，一项针对普吉岛巴东海滩的最新调查显示，抽样海滩上每平方米平均有0.76个烟蒂。照此计算，在2.5公里长的海滩上总共有101058个烟蒂。每年有数百万外国游客到访普吉岛。 The survey was undertaken by the country’s department of marine and coastal resources, which described it as a “serious problem”. Discarded cigarette butts accounted for a third of rubbish collected by the department. 开展此项调查的泰国海洋与海岸资源厅表示，这是个“严重问题”。被丢弃的烟蒂占到该部门收集的海滩垃圾的三分之一。 |
