Thailand Begins Year-Long Mourning for King
泰國開始了對已逝國王長達一年的哀悼
The people of Thailand began a year-long mourning period following the death of their beloved king last week. King Bhumibol was considered a father figure in Thailand where he reigned for 70 years. Clothing retailers are selling out of black clothing, the official colour of mourning. The government has also asked TV and radio stations to refrain from broadcasting entertainment programming in the first 30 days of the mourning period. Tourists are being asked to respect the Thai people by dressing in sombre clothing.
上周,泰國萬人敬仰的國王逝世以后,泰國人民開始了長達一年的哀悼。普密蓬國王在統治泰國的70年間,一直有著父親一般的高大形象。服裝店的黑色衣服都已售罄,黑色是哀悼的正式顏色。政府還讓電視和廣播臺在哀悼期的前30天避免報道娛樂節目。游客也被要求穿暗色的衣服,體現對泰國人民的尊重。
