進入《中英對照讀新聞》Keith Richards may have violated Scotland's smoking ban 凱斯．理查茲可能違反了蘇格蘭的禁菸令
◎胡立宗
Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards may have violated Scotland’s new smoking ban by lighting up during a concert.
滾石樂團吉他手凱斯．理查茲可能已觸犯了蘇格蘭新訂的禁菸令，他在演唱會點菸來抽。
The Glasgow City Council said it had heard from journalists that Richards was smoking during a Friday night performance.
格拉斯哥議會表示已經從記者的口中聽說，理查茲在週五晚間的表演中抽菸。
"It’s been brought to our attention that he was smoking, and we’ll be looking into it," a council spokesman said on condition of anonymity in keeping with city policy. "We do take our responsibilities for enforcement very seriously." Scotland’s ban on smoking in enclosed public places, including theaters and sports venues, came into force in March.
「我們已經注意到他抽菸的事，而且我們會進一步了解狀況，」因遵守該市規定而匿名的議會發言人說。「我們非常嚴正的看待執法的責任。」蘇格蘭禁止在包括戲院及運動場合等封閉公共場所抽菸的禁令，在3月生效。
Violators can be fined up to 50 pounds. The spokesman did not know whether the journalists who spoke to the council had been at the concert, part of the band’s "A Bigger Bang" tour.
觸法者最高可罰50英鎊。發言人並不清楚向議會舉報此事的記者是否有到該樂團「石破天驚」巡迴演唱會的現場。
In the Scottish capital, Edinburgh, officials warned during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival earlier this month that they would close down a theater if actor Mel Smith lit a cigar during his portrayal of Winston Churchill in the play"Allegiance" as he had promised to do. Smith eventually agreed to keep the cigar unlit.
在蘇格蘭的首府愛丁堡，官員在本月稍早的「愛丁堡藝穗節」期間警告，如果演員梅爾．史密斯在「堅貞愛國」一劇飾演邱吉爾時，一如他之前宣告的把菸點著，他們將會下令關閉戲院。史密斯最後迫於壓力，同意不點著菸。
