Food and drink banned on subway
地鐵里不準吃東西了?
Traveling by subway can sometimes be quite an adventure, especially during rush hour. There are the times when you have to avoid cups of coffee that could spill on you. The smells of some passengers' food are very strong, too.
有時候，搭乘地鐵也堪比一場冒險，尤其是在早晚高峰時刻。你需要不時注意別讓咖啡撒到自己身上。一些乘客攜帶的食物散發(fā)出的味道也很強烈。
According to the Beijing subway passenger regulations, which went into effect on May 15, passengers except babies and the sick are no longer allowed to eat or drink on the subway.
根據(jù)5月15日開始實施的《北京市軌道交通乘客守則》，除嬰兒、病人外，乘客不得在列車車廂內(nèi)進食。
Violators who do not stop after being asked to will be asked to get off. The violation will also be recorded in the violators' credit record.

Some support the rule, citing the reason that the smell of food and drink can annoy other passengers.
一些人支持這一規(guī)定，認為飲食的氣味會影響其他乘客。
"The smell of food fills the carriage, causing people discomfort, especially in the hot summer. Besides, eating on the subway unavoidably produces rubbish. And on subway trains, people often spill their drinks," Zheng Yiou, 17, a student from Hefei No 8 Senior High School, Anhui province, told TEENS.
“滿車廂都彌漫著食物的味道，會引起別人不適，尤其是在大熱天。另外，在地鐵上吃吃喝喝難免會產(chǎn)生垃圾。而且在地鐵上，人們常常會弄撒自己的飲料，”安徽省合肥市第八中學的17歲學生鄭奕鷗在接受本報采訪時表示。
However, others question this rule. "Some citizens live so far from their work places that they have limited time to have breakfast before they go to work.
但也有人對這一規(guī)定提出質(zhì)疑。“有的人住的地方離單位很遠，上班前沒時間吃早餐。
Eating while they travel saves them time and decreases the chance that they will be late for work," He Songlin, a 17-year-old student from Chengdu Shishi Tianfu High School, told TEENS.
上班路上吃飯節(jié)省了他們的時間，降低了遲到的概率，”來自成都石室天府中學的17歲學生何松林在接受本報采訪時如此表示。

Other Chinese cities like Nanjing and Chengdu have similar regulations. Some foreign cities also ban eating and drinking on the subway.

比如，據(jù)《中國日報》報道，華盛頓早已禁止地鐵內(nèi)飲食。而在新加坡的地鐵內(nèi)飲食，將被處以500新加坡元（約2417人民幣）的罰款。
Chen Yanyan, a professor from the College of Metropolitan Transportation, Beijing University of Technology, believed we should consider the need of some people to eat or drink on the subway.
北京工業(yè)大學城市交通學院教授陳艷艷認為，我們應當考慮到一些人在地鐵上飲食的需求。
"Commuters and travelers are sometimes too busy to eat. Maybe we could learn from Tokyo, where there are many subway stations equipped with facilities, allowing passengers to eat and drink," she told Beijing Evening News.
“通勤族、游客往往顧不上吃飯。不妨像日本東京的很多地鐵站一樣，開辟出一定空間，提供簡單餐飲的條件和服務，讓大家在里面吃東西喝飲料，”她在接受《北京晚報》采訪時如此表示。
