地鐵上應該禁止吃食物嗎？ Should Food Be Banned on the Subway?
Should Food Be Banned on the Subway?
Currently, some cities are considering a food ban on subways, which has sparked heated discussion. Some people say food should be banned because of the trash and rats they attract. And, garbage from discarded food can cause track fires. Beyond sanitary and mechanical concerns, food can also cause fights, as was discovered last week by one passenger who criticized a woman eating steamed stuffed bun on the subway.
目前，一些城市正在考慮禁止地鐵上吃食物，這引發了熱烈的討論。有些人說，食物應該被禁止，因為它們會吸引垃圾和老鼠。并且，丟棄食物中的垃圾可能導致軌道火災。除了衛生和其他客觀問題，食物也可以引發沖突，正如上周發現有個乘客批評一個女人在地鐵上吃小籠包。
However, some others are opposed to the idea. They argue that people like eating in the train in the morning because they don't have enough time to eat at their houses or restaurants. Sometimes that may be the only time or meal a transit rider may be able to eat especially when traveling long distances. Besides, there are people, for example diabetics, who do require food at various times to maintain blood-sugar levels.
但是，有些人反對這個看法。他們認為，人們喜歡早晨在火車上吃早餐，因為他們沒有足夠的時間在在家或餐館吃。有時，這可能是一個轉乘者僅有的時間或僅有的一餐去吃，特別是在長途旅行時。此外，有些人，例如糖尿病患者，在不同時間需要食物來維持血糖水平。
Personally, I'm against the ban because of the huge inconvenience it would cause to commuters, and the expense involved in enforcing it. Still, I believe we should have a little common courtesy. I think we all have responsibility to try to treat our subway system and fellow riders with respect, and that extends to food as well.
就個人而言，我反對禁令，因為它會給乘客帶來巨大的不便，需要費用參與執行禁令。不過，我相信我們應該有一點社會公德。我認為我們都有責任努力對待我們的地鐵系統和乘客尊重，同樣也延伸到食物。
