美国最奇葩的十条涉性法律

美国最奇葩的十条涉性法律

If you're contemplating sex with a rodeo clown in Massachusetts, watch out: The long arm of the law may be coming for you. Mustachioed men, it's probably best if you just avoid Indiana altogether. And ladies, you don't have to put up with your lover's bad breath anymore—in Minnesota, you are legally protected from the smell of garlic and onions.
如果你正考虑在马萨诸塞州与一名马戏小丑发生性关系，那你要当心了：法律之手可能正在向你伸出。留大胡子的男士们，你们最好别去印第安那州。女士们，你们再也不需忍受伴侣的口臭了——在明尼苏达州，你是受到法律保护不需忍受大蒜和洋葱的气味的。

Think these laws are weird? We're just getting started. These bizarre rules of attraction give a whole new meaning to the term "penal code."
觉得这些法律很怪诞？这还只是刚刚开始。人们喜闻乐见的这些怪异的规定全新地诠释了“刑法典”的意义。

Is This Your First Rodeo?
马萨诸塞州：不能在马匹在场时和驯马师做爱

As a Massachusetts native, I think I speak on behalf of the entire Bay State when I say we're totally OK with you having sex with a rodeo clown. As far as we're concerned, what happens at the rodeo stays at the rodeo. We're pretty liberal like that—a solid blue state through and through.
作为一名马萨诸塞州本地居民，我认为我可以代表整个海湾州告诉大家，我们完全可以接受你跟马戏小丑发生性行为。我们认为，发生在表演场所的事情也止于表演场所。我们非常自由——我们是彻彻底底的坚定的蓝色州。

Wait, what's that you say? There are horses present? Won't somebody think of the horses?! If we've said it once, we've said it a thousand times: No having sex with rodeo clowns in the presence of horses! And we mean it! (Really, we do: It's illegal in Massachusetts.)
等等，你说什么？现场有很多马？难道没有人想到这些马吗？如果我们曾经说过的话，肯定说过成千上万次：不要在马的面前与马戏小丑发生性行为！我们说到做到！（真的，确实是这样：这种行为在马萨诸塞州是违法的。）

Prince Charming Need Not Apply
科罗拉多州：白马王子那套不灵了

Sleeping Beauty is so 1950s. This is the 21st century, people: Women don't just lie around waiting for their princes to arrive! In fact, it's literally illegal to do so in Colorado, where kissing a sleeping woman is prohibited by law. So guys, you'll just have to find some other way to wake her from the evil witch's spell.
睡美人已经很古老了，是上世纪50年代的童话了。而现在已经是21世纪了，女子们再也不会躺着期待他们的王子到来！实际上，在科罗拉多州，这样做是违法的，法律明令禁止亲吻睡眠中的女性。所以，小伙子们，你们要想其他办法把她从女巫的咒语中唤醒了。

Wink, Wink
阿拉巴马州：眨眨眼就是勾搭！
In Alabama, it's against the law for a man to seduce "a chaste woman by means of temptation, deception, arts, flattery, or a promise of marriage." (That doesn't leave you a lot of options.) But that's nothing compared to the rules in Ottumwa, Iowa, where you can't even wink at a pretty lady with whom you are "unacquainted."
在阿拉巴马州，男性通过“诱惑，欺骗，诡计，奉承或承诺结婚等手段”诱奸贞洁女性是违法的。（呃，这样你似乎没有太多选择了。）但是跟爱荷华州奥塔姆瓦的规定相比，这简直是小巫见大巫，你甚至向跟你不认识的女性眨眼都不行。

Maybe Next Time He'll Think Before He Cheats
阿肯萨州：想搞外遇？想清楚！

In Arkansas, adultery is punishable by a fine of $20 to $100, which is steep but hardly prohibitive. That might explain Bill Clinton's time in Little Rock. Good thing he wasn't governor of California, though: An illicit affair in the Golden State could set you back $1,000.
在阿肯色州，通奸可以罚款20美元至100美元，这种处罚比较严格，但是这种行为很难禁止。这或许可以解释比尔•克林顿在小石城的遭遇。好的一点是，他并不是加利福尼亚州的州长，在金州，不正当性关系可以罚款高达1,000美元。

Plus, They're Kinda Scratchy
印第安纳州：络腮胡子男人不许亲吻别人
Maybe this is why they never filmed an episode of Magnum, P.I. in the Hoosier State. Mustaches are illegal in Indiana if the owner of said facial hair "has a tendency to habitually kiss other humans." Soul patches and goatees, though? Totally legal.
或许这就是他们从来没有在胡希尔州拍摄夏威夷神探片段的原因。留胡子在印第安那州是非法的，如果这名男子的面部毛发“有习惯性地亲吻他人的趋势。”而一小撮胡子或山羊胡则是完全合法的。

Brush Your Teeth First
明尼苏达州：口臭者不能行房
Is the American Dental Association behind this one? Men of Alexandria, Minnesota, be warned: It's against the law to have sex with your wife if your breath smells of garlic, onions, or sardines. Ladies, know your rights: The law mandates that your man must brush his teeth if you request it!
美国牙科协会是否支持下面这条规定呢？明尼苏达州亚历山大城的男士们注意了：如果你的口气中有大蒜，洋葱或沙丁鱼的味道，与你的妻子发生性关系是违法的。女士们，了解你的权利：法律明文规定，如果你要求的话，你的丈夫必须刷牙！

Even If You're Shooting Blanks
威斯康星州：男人不能在伴侣性高潮时开枪。

File this one under "weirdly specific" laws: In Wisconsin, a man may not fire a gun while his partner is having an orgasm. Welcome to the wussification of America!
下面这一条也可以列入“怪异的特色法律”：在威斯康星州，伴侣处于性高潮时，男性不能开枪。欢迎来到搞怪的美国！

The Virgin Suicides
华盛顿州：不能与处女发生性关系

Talk about a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: In Washington, it's illegal to have sex with a virgin, even on the wedding night. Surprisingly, "Washington: Once a Virgin, Always a Virgin" is not the state's official motto.
来说一个神秘甚至不可思议的谜：在华盛顿，与处女发生性关系是违法的，即使在洞房花烛夜。难道该州政府的格言是“一日为处，终身为处”？

No Shirt, No Service
夏威夷：不能只穿泳衣出现在公共场合
In Hawaii, it's illegal to appear in public wearing only swimming trunks—which, correct me if I'm wrong, basically puts the entire cast of Hawaii Five-0 on the list of America's Most Wanted. (It may also explain all the leis.) This is still better than the law of the land in Kentucky, however. In the Bluegrass State, a lady may not wear a bathing suit on a highway unless she's escorted by at least two police officers … and armed with a club.
在夏威夷，身穿泳裤出现在公共场合是非法的——如果错了的话请纠正我，这条法律足以让夏威夷特警队全体成员登上美国通缉榜了。（这或许也可以解释夏威夷人为何喜欢戴花环了。）不过，相比肯塔基州的法律，这已经好的多了。在牧草州，女性不能身穿泳装出现在高速公路上，除非有至少两名警察保护，而且还要手持球杆。

Bottom's Up
爱荷华州：丈夫和妻子躺在床上时喝啤酒不能超过三口
In Ames, Iowa, it's illegal for husbands to take more than three gulps of beer while lying in bed with their wives. In a related story, the inventor of the wide-mouthed beer can may have been a husband from Ames, Iowa.
在爱荷华州的艾姆斯，丈夫们和妻子一起躺在床上时喝三口以上的啤酒是非法的。在一个有关的故事中，宽口啤酒的发明者或许就是一名来自爱荷华州艾姆斯的丈夫。（英文来源：SmarterTravel）
