I’ve heard that there are a lot of crazy laws in America. For example, I read on a website that in Oklahoma, taking a bite of someone else’s hamburger is illegal! Can you give us some examples of some crazy laws like that?
我聽說在美國有許多瘋狂的法律。比如，我曾經在某個網站上看到，在俄克拉荷馬州，咬一口別人的漢堡居然是非法的！還有其他類似的嗎？
there are plenty! For example In the state of Georgia, you can’t keep ice cream in your back pocket on Sundays.
當然！在喬治亞州，在禮拜天，你不能把冰激淋放到你后面的口袋里去。
And in the great state of and my home Alabama. According to Code Section 13A-12-5, persons shall not engage in bear wrestling. I find it hard to follow this law in particular.
在我的家鄉，阿拉巴馬州。根據法律13A-12-5，人們不允許同熊摔跤。我發現這法律特別難遵循。
Don’t you think these laws are stupid? Do American’s really like these kinds of laws.
你會認為這些法律聽起來有點傻傻的嗎？還是美國人會比較喜歡像這樣的法律。
You have to realize that a lot of these laws were made more than 100 years ago and repealing a law if more of a pain in the ass than passing one. So, today, they’re ignored and aren't really enforced. Except the one about the bear wresting, that one was made in 2006 and they actually enforce it.
你必須意識到這些法律都有超過100年的歷史了，廢除它們比新建一個要麻煩得多。所以，今天的人們選擇忽略這些法律。除了那個關于和熊摔跤的，那是2006新增的，因此人們必須遵守。
