馬德里公交車禁止男性岔開雙腿佔座大綱

Madrid's transport authorities are taking a stand against seated male selfishness with a campaign to tackle the social scourge that is manspreading.

西班牙首都馬德里的交通部門對男士就坐時的自私表現持反對立場，發起了治理“大爺式佔座”這一社會痛點的運動。

Fed up with men whose thighs fail to respect the boundaries of bus seats, the Spanish capital's Municipal Transport Company (EMT) is to put up signs discouraging the practice.

受夠了那些大腿跨過公交車座位邊界的男士，馬德里市政運輸公司將設置阻止這種行爲的標誌。

The EMT said the new signs are intended to remind people of the need to respect the space of all bus passengers.

該公司稱，這些新標誌是爲了提醒人們尊重所有公交乘客的空間的必要性。

Would-be manspreaders will hopefully be deterred by small pictures of a thoughtless, faceless red man invading the seat to his right.

但願這些畫有一個不替別人着想、侵佔自己右邊座位的紅色無臉小人的小圖片能制止那些想要“岔開腿坐着的男士”。

"This new information sign is similar to those that already exist in other transport systems around the world to stop people adopting a posture that makes others uncomfortable," the company said.

馬德里市政運輸公司稱：“世界各地的其他交通系統裏已經存在禁止採取引起他人不適姿勢的標示，這個新的警示標誌與它們相似。”

The EMT came up with the initiative in partnership with Madrid city council's equality department and the Microrrelatos Feministas collective, a women's group that has launched an online petition for such signs to be installed.

該公司和馬德里市議會平權部門以及女性組織Microrrelatos Feministas共同發起了這項倡議。Microrrelatos Feministas曾在網上發起請願，要求設置此類標誌。

Their petition, which has more than 11,500 signatures, says: "All public transport has stickers explaining that room needs to be made for pregnant women, people with buggies, older people and those with disabilities, but there's something that affects all of us practically every time we use public transport: manspreading."

這次請願已經獲得超過11500個簽名，請願書稱：“所有公共交通工具上都設置了標誌，提醒人們爲孕婦、推嬰兒車的人、老年人以及殘障人士騰出空間。但事實上，每次我們乘坐公共交通工具時都會受到一件事的影響，那就是：'大爺式佔座'。”
