Saudi Arabia’s feared religious police entered a public park in the Gulf Kingdom and told women to stop using swings, an act that drew applause and criticism by viewers of a picture showing the men warning some women at the swings.
沙烏地阿拉伯令人畏懼的宗教警察走入這個波斯灣王國的一座公共公園，告訴婦女停止使用鞦韆。看了這群男人在鞦韆處警告一些婦人的照片的人，對警方此舉有稱讚、有批評。
The picture went viral on social networks in Saudi Arabia before it was published by newspapers showing two men from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice warning women against using the swings.
這張在沙烏地阿拉伯社群網路上大量流傳後被報紙刊登的照片顯示，2名隸屬促進道德防範罪惡委員會的男子警告婦女不要使用鞦韆。
“Some viewers of the picture supported the move by the Commission members on the grounds women using the swing could encourage men to harass or molest them,” the Saudi Arabic language daily ‘ Al Sada’ said.
「看過這張照片的人中，有些人基於婦女使用鞦韆可能助長男人騷擾或猥褻她們的理由，支持委員會成員此舉」，沙烏地阿拉伯語日報「薩達報」說。
“Others said they believe the act is not acceptable as it amounted to an unjustified interference and repression of women by the Commission.”
「其他人說，她們認為這種作為無法令人接受，因為這等於該委員會不當干涉和打壓婦女。」
