英语悠选脱口秀 第126期:无家可归的人偷东西无罪?(在线收听

 讲解

Today's key word is Homeless
Homeless h-o-m-e-l-e-s-s
无家可归的
Homeless people have nowhere to live.
Here is an example:
In the worst-case scenario, you could become a homeless person. 
最坏的情况是你可能会无家可归。
无家可归的人不仅中国有,欧美国家也是存在的。全世界的homeless。给人的印象大都是邋遢,可怜,蓬头垢面,露宿街头。Yes,although our society is developing, there are still lots of homeless people around us.
But 意大利的流浪者这次不一样了!
In 2011, a 36 year old Italian man couldn't afford anything to eat, so he stole less than five dollars worth of cheese and sausages from a supermarket. He was caught and sentenced to a fine of 100 euros and six months in prison.
因为偷了不到5美元的食物,就被判罚款100欧元,加6个月监禁。也是让人惋惜啊。
However, his fate has been changed this week.意大利最高法院宣布了一条新规定:Stealing a little food should not be considered a crime if you really need it.如果你特别需要食物的时候偷一点点不能叫做犯罪。
What do you think of this rule?无家可归的人实在没办法了 所以去偷一点点食物来填饱肚子,这样算不算犯罪,应不应该受到谴责呢?
