Dying - Svalbard, Norway
挪威斯瓦爾巴特群島禁止死亡
Pity the ill and elderly in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard where everyone is banned from dying due to the difficulty of burying bodies in the frozen ground - you must simply go elsewhere to end your days.
挪威斯瓦爾巴特群島的病人和老人們真可憐，那里禁止任何人死亡，因?yàn)樵趦鐾晾镅诼袷w有困難，所以他們只能到其他地方度過(guò)殘生。
The law was brought into place in 1950, after it was found that buried bodies were not rotting, according to YouTube account Half as Interesting. Due to the extremely cold weather in the region, it means bodies are unable to decompose.
根據(jù)YouTube賬號(hào)Half as Interesting，這個(gè)禁令是在20世紀(jì)50年代頒布的，因?yàn)楫?dāng)時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)被掩埋的尸體不會(huì)腐爛。因?yàn)檫@個(gè)地區(qū)的天氣極其寒冷，這意味著尸體無(wú)法分解。
This means that any diseases that the deceased has, could spread. The graveyard in the town holds a number of victims from 1918 who were killed by the Spanish flu, which killed over 100 million worldwide.
這也就是說(shuō)，死者所患的任何疾病都可能傳播。這個(gè)鎮(zhèn)的墓園里埋葬了1918年死于西班牙流感的一些受害者，西班牙流感曾導(dǎo)致世界范圍內(nèi)逾1億人喪生。
Local newspaper Nieuwsblad reported that 11 bodies that had been buried in the town still had traces of the Spanish flu within them.
當(dāng)?shù)貓?bào)紙《Nieuwsblad》報(bào)道稱，這個(gè)鎮(zhèn)里埋葬的11具尸體到現(xiàn)在仍然攜帶西班牙流感的病毒。
Jan Christian Meyer from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology explained the death ban: 'The reason for this is that the permanently frozen ground will not only tend to keep your buried remains from decomposing and push them to the surface, it may also perfectly preserve the disease that killed you, for locals to pick up later.
挪威科技大學(xué)的揚(yáng)·克里斯蒂安·邁耶解釋了這一禁令：“禁止死亡的原因在于，這種長(zhǎng)年凍土不僅能讓尸體不腐，還會(huì)將尸體推到地表，可能還會(huì)完美保存致死的病菌，以后傳染給當(dāng)?shù)厝恕?rdquo;
'It is obviously not a punishable offence to die (after all, how would that be enforced?), but if you seem to be about to expire, every effort will be made to send you to the mainland. If you should die there anyway, you most certainly will not be buried there, because funerals don't work the way they are supposed to.
“顯然死亡并不是可以被懲罰的罪過(guò)(畢竟，你要如何懲罰死人呢?)，但如果有人命不久矣，就會(huì)不遺余力地將其送到大陸上去。如果實(shí)在要死在那里，也不會(huì)被埋在島上，因?yàn)閸u上的葬禮不按常規(guī)舉行。”
'You can apply to have your cremated remains put into the ground, but it requires state approval. In other words, death is not illegal as such, but it is banned from the area.'
“你可以申請(qǐng)把骨灰埋進(jìn)土里，但需要獲得國(guó)家批準(zhǔn)。換句話說(shuō)，死亡不違法，但在該地區(qū)是被禁止的。”

Batir Turkmen, who is from Turkmenistan but lives in Dubai, explained: 'For the country with 60 degrees C in summer it is really strange and stupid - cars with black colours are banned, dirty cars are not allowed to drive in the city. BMW, Mercedes, etc - luxury cars have very high taxation and tuning cars and tires are not allowed.'
來(lái)自土庫(kù)曼斯坦、現(xiàn)居迪拜的巴蒂爾·土庫(kù)曼解釋道：“對(duì)于一個(gè)夏天溫度高達(dá)60攝氏度的國(guó)家，這些規(guī)定真是奇怪又愚蠢——禁止開(kāi)黑色汽車，臟兮兮的車不準(zhǔn)開(kāi)進(jìn)市里，寶馬、梅塞德斯等奢侈汽車稅收很高，而且不允許改裝汽車和輪胎。”

Leo Peo, from Mumbai, India, shared on knowledge-sharing site, Quora: 'Now, we've all taken a Scrabble loss pretty seriously.
