德国所有火车站正式实施禁酒令。周四午夜钟声敲响之际，德国所有火车站均开始执行禁酒规定。
Alcohol ban comes into force at all German train stations Alcohol bans came into force at all German train stations when the clock struck midnight and Thursday began.
德国全国约5700个火车站（包括站台本身）现已全部成为禁酒区。
All the roughly 5,700 stations across Germany, including the train platforms themselves, are now booze-free zones.
不过，火车站内的酒吧、餐厅及其他餐饮类场所属于例外，仍可出售酒精饮料。此外，在多数火车上饮酒也依然合法，长途列车仍会在车内的餐吧供应啤酒和其他酒类饮品。
Pubs, restaurants and other such hospitality businesses at train stations are exceptions to the rule, though, and can still serve alcohol. Consumption of alcohol will also remain legal on many trains, with long distance ones still serving beers and other tipples at their on-board bistros.
铁路运营商德国铁路公司（Deutsche Bahn）表示，此次调整旨在让火车站变得更安全、更干净，也更适宜人们在等待（或许会晚点的）列车时停留。
Rail operator Deutsche Bahn says the change aims to make train stations safer and cleaner, and more pleasant places to spend time waiting for a (who knows, perhaps delayed) train.
多年来，各类轻微违法行为和事件已引发对火车站饮酒问题的讨论，但今年发生的两起事件尤其凸显了这一问题。
Various misdemeanors and incidents had prompted discussions on alcohol at stations over the years, but two this year in particular brought the issues into sharp focus.
一名26岁的德国铁路安保人员在试图检查一名醉酒乘客的车票时，遭到该乘客殴打和踢踹。在冲突过程中，火车车门变形打开，这名安保人员从车上坠落，身受重伤。今年早些时候，一名列车乘务员则因被一名无有效车票的男子袭击而丧生。
A 26-year-old security staff member for Deutsche Bahn was beaten and kicked by a drunken passenger when trying to check their ticket. During the struggle the train door buckled and opened, and the Bahn employee fell from the train, suffering severe injuries. Earlier in the year, a train conductor was killed when attacked by a man without a valid ticket.
新规属于德国铁路公司的内部规定，而非刑法范畴——这意味着至少在最初阶段，由铁路安保人员而非警方负责执行。
The new rules are part of DB's house rules, rather than being criminal law — meaning that at least in the first instance it is a matter for Bahn security staff to enforce rather than police.
当被问及啤酒消费频繁的火车出行日（例如球迷前往观看德甲联赛比赛的日子）时，德国铁路公司发言人安雅·布罗德（Anja Bröder）表示：“禁酒令在车站每天均有效，包括举办大型活动的日子。”
"The alcohol consumption ban applies at stations every day, also on days with major events," Bahn spokeswoman Anja Bröder said when asked about often beer-fueled train usage days, like when football fans flock to Bundesliga games.
在正式实施该项目之前，约有40个车站进行了为期一段时间的试点，其中包括科隆、慕尼黑、汉堡和柏林等部分大型城市。德国铁路公司（DB）表示，早期试验取得了积极成果：车站环境更加安宁，垃圾减少，旅客和员工也纷纷表示更喜欢这种氛围。
Around 40 stations piloted the project for some time prior to its implementation, including some of the largest like Cologne, Munich, Hamburg and Berlin. DB says it has had positive experiences with the early experiments, reporting more peaceful stations with less litter and travelers and employees saying they preferred the atmosphere.
然而，一个致力于帮助无家可归者的联邦组织批评了这一措施。该组织称，对于患有成瘾疾病的无家可归者而言，火车站往往是“重要、能遮风挡雨且相对安全”的避难所。一名女发言人还告诉报纸，如果他们将无家可归者赶出火车站等场所，社会工作者将更难找到他们。
A federal group dedicated to helping the homeless has criticized the measure, however, saying that for homeless people with addiction illnesses, train stations often served as "important, weatherproof and comparatively safe places" to shelter. A spokeswoman also told the newspaper that if they were driven from sites like train stations, it would be harder for social workers to locate them.
