双语新闻:世界十大奇葩驾驶法规（七）

　　Whether due to antiquated laws that never got updated, or logistic challenges unique to that country, the world is full of strange laws. Some may not sound outlandish in concept, but have extreme consequences; for example, if you’re in Vietnam without a Vietnamese driver’s license, you risk a prison sentence of up to three years. Others—like banning the practice of tying your pet on the roof in Alaska—seem to be the result of an overzealous legal system.

　　也许是因为过时的法律没有及时更新，也许是因为某个国家面临着与众不同的挑战，这个世界上总是充满了奇奇怪怪的法律法规。有一些在概念上听起来也许并不奇怪，但却有着很极端的后果。比如，如果你在越南而没有越南的驾驶证，你就会有被判处三年有期徒刑的风险。其他的——比如阿拉斯加规定，禁止将宠物栓在车顶——看起来是出自于一个过度热情的法律体系。

　　7.Politeness isn’t just the culture in Japan, it’s part of driving laws. Splashing a pedestrian with a puddle from your car will cost you over $60. The country is also strict with its DUI laws—riding with or loaning your car to a driver who gets caught drinking and driving can lead to a fine costing thousands of dollars.

　　7. 在日本，恭敬有礼不仅仅蕴含在文化中，也在交通法规中有所体现。如果你把水坑里的水溅到人行道上，你将会被罚款60美元。日本关于酒后驾车的法律也十分严格。酒后驾车或者把你的车借给喝过酒的人，如果被发现，将会导致上千美元的罚款。
