進入《中英對照讀新聞》No lesbian kissing at iconic Viennese cafe 維也納知名咖啡館不許女同志接吻
◎國際新聞中心
Vienna’s iconic cafes are famous the world over, offering customers top-notch coffee and sanctuary from the modern world in an atmosphere that harks back to a golden bygone era.
維也納的指標性咖啡館舉世聞名，提供顧客頂級咖啡，以及遠離現代世界的避難所，氣氛讓人宛如回到已逝去的黃金年代。
But one such venerable institution, the 112-year-old Cafe Prueckel, is in hot water over an incident that threatens to tarnish the Austrian capital’s reputation for tolerance just as it seeks to attract more gay tourists.
然而，其中一家令人仰慕的咖啡館—有112年歷史的普魯克爾咖啡館，如今卻身陷風波，可能會在這個奧地利首都希望吸引更多同志觀光客之際，玷污它包容多元的聲譽。
In the now infamous episode on January 6, lesbian couple Eva Prewein and Anastasia Lopez, 26 and 19, engaged in what the women call merely a "Begruessungskuss" -- a "kiss of greeting" -- at the cafe. The waiter was less than impressed and the couple say they were refused service for more than two hours and then barred when they kicked up a fuss.
這起如今已聲名狼藉的事件發生在1月6日，一對女同志戀人—26歲的普瑞文與19歲的羅培茲，在這家咖啡館交換了她們所謂的「問候之吻」。服務生對此感到不悅，這對情侶說，服務生拒絕服務她們2個多小時，並在她們向店家抱怨時將其擋在咖啡館外。
Lopez told Austrian newspapers that Christl Sedlar, manager of the cafe on Vienna’s famous Ringstrasse boulevard, informed the outraged pair that "diversity such as this belongs in a brothel, not in a traditional coffee house".
羅培茲告訴奧地利報紙，這家位於維也納著名環城大道的咖啡館的經理塞德拉，告訴這對憤怒的情侶，「像這樣的多樣化，妓院有，傳統咖啡館裡沒有」。
