Rome bans souvenir stands from Colosseum, other tourist sites

罗马禁止在斗兽场等旅游景点设立纪念品摊位

Looks like we’ll have to go trinket-shopping elsewhere.

看来我们得去别的地方买小饰品了。

Roman leaders have officially banned souvenir stands and snack bars at historic attractions, including the Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. The small, mobile shops have been forbidden from operating directly at the iconic sites, in hopes of easing congestion and better protecting the monuments, The Telegraph reports.

罗马领导人已经正式禁止历史景点的纪念品摊位和小吃店，包括罗马圆形大剧场、万神殿、特莱维喷泉和西班牙阶梯。据英国《每日电讯报》报道，为了缓解交通拥堵，更好地保护古迹，这些小型移动商店被禁止在这些标志性景点直接营业。

The new regulations went into effect Jan. 1, according to Lonely Planet.

据《孤独星球》报道，新规定自1月1日起生效。

“For years, the monuments of the city have been tarnished by vendors who sell drinks, panini and trinkets in front of Rome’s architectural jewels. This is no longer tolerable,” Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi said of the news.

“多年来，在罗马的建筑瑰宝前出售饮料、帕尼尼和小饰品的商贩玷污了这座城市的纪念碑。这是不可容忍的。”

According to Raggi, the vendors were poised to “ruin the image of Rome.”

根据拉吉的说法，商贩们准备“破坏罗马的形象”。

Seventeen stalls at the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona and Trident are said to have been shut down, though eight of the bunch have been given permission to permanently relocate and operate further away from the monuments, per a recent government statement. Snack vans that previously sold food near the Colosseum and Circus Maximus are due to get the boot from the local council soon as well, Lonely Planet reports.

根据政府最近的一份声明，万神殿、特雷维喷泉、西班牙阶梯、纳沃纳广场和三叉戟广场的17个摊位据说已被关闭，但其中8个摊位已获准永久搬迁，并在离古迹更远的地方运营。据《孤独星球》报道，之前在罗马圆形大剧场和马戏场附近出售食物的快餐车也将很快被当地议会除名。

In related headlines, Raggi’s government has also banned people from sitting on the Spanish Steps, splashing in fountains, eating in front of the legendary monuments and walking around bare-chested, among other measures, according to the outlet.

据报道，在相关的头条新闻中，拉吉政府还禁止人们坐在西班牙台阶上，在喷泉里戏水，在传奇性的纪念碑前吃东西，光着膀子走路等等。
