德國漢堡街牆“反擊”噓噓者
An area of the German city of Hamburg known for its nightlife is fighting back against drunken revellers who relieve themselves in the streets - by modifying the area's walls to "pee back".
德國漢堡市一個以夜生活出名的地區近日開始對醉鬼隨處小便的行爲展開反擊，他們把該地區所有的牆面都做了改造，可以在醉鬼們對着牆噓噓時予以反擊。
A neighbourhood association has begun repainting walls along the famous Reeperbahn street, in the heart of the city's St Pauli nightlife district, with a water-repellent paint.
社區協會已着手用防水材料重新粉刷位於聖保利“不夜城”的中心地帶著名的萊泊幫大街的街牆。
The offending urine bounces straight off the wall – and on to the shoes of the perpetrator.
一旦有人隨街噓噓，尿液會因防水層的緣故反彈回噓噓者的鞋上。
Signs have been put up around the district that read "Don't pee here. We pee back."
該街區已貼出警示：“請勿在此噓噓，否則回噓你！”
The menace of what is known as the Wildpinkler, or "wild urinator", is something of an obsession in Germany.
德國對喜歡隨街小便者的警告隨處可見。
Penalties vary from city to city, but anyone relieving themselves on the streets of Munich risks a fine of €100 (£73), while in Cologne it is a hefty €200.
隨街小便的罰款因城而異。像在慕尼黑，隨街小便罰款100歐元（摺合人民幣692元），而在科隆，將是200歐元的高額罰款。
But Hamburg's Reeperbahn, which attracts more than 20 million visitors a year, is just too crowded to police the Wildpinklers.
漢堡的萊泊幫大街每年吸引着超過兩千萬的遊客前往。要想在人頭涌涌的大街上監督隨街小便者相當困難。
Known as die sündigste Meile, or the most sinful mile, the Reeperbahn is both a red-light district and a centre for bars and nightlife, somewhat like London's Soho.
萊泊幫大街被稱作“最墮落的大道”，是著名的紅燈區。那裏酒吧雲集，夜生活豐富，與倫敦的蘇活區十分相像。
The St Pauli neighbourhood association says the Wildpinklers have become such a serious problem that it had to act.
聖保利的社區協會稱：隨街小便問題已非常嚴重，我們必須有所行動。
"On the streets here, it's like being in a sewer," Julia Staron, a spokesman, told Spiegel magazine.
“這裏的整條街道就像下水道一樣，臭氣熏天，”該協會發言人朱莉婭•斯塔龍向《明鏡週刊》說道。
The water-repellent paint the association is using to fight back is more often found on ships – and it is highly effective, accoding to Ms Staron.
據斯塔龍女士說，協會所採用的防水塗料是船舶上常用的塗料。用來打擊隨街小便是不可多得的高效之法。
"The liquid rebounds with almost the same force with which it hits," she said.
她還說道：“碰牆的尿液會以同樣的力度順勢反彈到小便者身上。”
The neighbourhood association has even produced a video entitled St Pauli Pinkelt Zurück, or "St Pauli Pees Back", which has already attracted more than 180,000 hits
前不久，社區協會甚至上傳了一個名叫“聖保利噓回去的視頻，點擊量高達180萬。
Would-be Wildpinklers should not think they can just go round the corner and relieve themselves against the next wall, she warned.
斯塔龍警告：“隨街小便者千萬別抱僥倖心理，不要以爲自己能繞過牆面到角落小便。”
"Not every wall has a sign," Ms Staron says with a grin in the video.
視頻中，斯塔龍女士邊笑邊說着：“並不是每面牆都有警告標示的噢。”
