問題詳情
American public and private agencies spend millions of dollars annually attempting to persuadecitizens to drink alcohol only in “moderate” amounts or not at all, particularly when operating a motorvehicle. Studies indicate that this propaganda and advertising approach is almost totally ineffective.Alcohol consumption continues to rise nationally, and alcohol-related traffic deaths, especially forteenage drivers, have increased. In contrast to the American approach, Norway has severe, butmeaningful, penalties for driving while drunk. These include periods of compulsory public work (pickingup trash along highways), mandatory jail sentences that do not interfere with one’s work (a member of theNorwegian royal family will be equally punished if guilty). As a result, many Norwegians use taxis or thedrivers not drinking when spending a night on the town.

(A) that no one is exempt from the penalty for drunk driving

美國公共和私人機構每年花費數百萬美元試圖說服公民僅以“適量”飲酒或根本不飲酒，特別是在操作機動車時。研究表明，這種宣傳和廣告方式幾乎完全無效。全國的酒精消費量持續上升，與酒精相關的交通死亡人數增加，尤其是青少年司機。與美國的做法相反，挪威在醉酒駕駛時會受到嚴厲但有意義的懲罰。這些包括強制性公共工作時期（在高速公路上撿垃圾），強制性監禁判決不會干擾一個人的工作（如果有罪，挪威王室成員將受到同等懲罰）。因此，許多挪威人在城裡過夜時會使用出租車或司機不喝酒。(A) that no one is exempt from the penalty for drunk driving 豁免
