西班牙小鎮喪心病狂 市長規定每天午睡3小時

You know that feeling… you’ve just had lunch, it’s several hours since you got up and it’s even longer until you’ll get back into bed, but you could just do with a bit of shut eye.
你知道那種感覺嗎……你剛剛享用完午餐，距你起牀已經過了幾個小時，而距你回到牀上又還有更長的幾個小時，但是你卻可以閉上眼睛小睡一會。

Well, you may want to move to Ador in Valencia where the town’s mayor, Joan Faus Vitoria, has introduced nap time between 2pm and 5pm.
呃，你也許想要搬到西班牙瓦倫西亞的小鎮Ador，那裏的市長瓊·福斯·維多利亞將每天的下午兩點至下午五點定爲午休時間。

Although Spain is known for its siestas, it’s the first time that it’s been made official. Parents have been told to make sure their children are kept indoors and people are being asked not to make any unnecessary noise.
雖然西班牙以其午休聞名，但是這一次卻是其首次如此地官方正式。父母們被告知要確保他們的孩子呆在家中，人們也被要求儘量不要製造出任何不必要的噪聲。

Senor Vitoria wanted to introduce the nap time so that farm workers can have a break during the hottest time of day for the town and expects employers to comply.
維多利亞先生之所以想要制定這個午休時間，是爲了能夠讓小鎮上的農場工人們能夠在一天中最熱的時候獲得休息，並且希望僱主們能夠遵守這一規定。

However, there’s no penalty for non-compliance, it’s just something he’d like people to adhere to in order to make the town a better place.
然而，若違反這一規定也並不會有什麼懲罰，他只是希望人們能夠遵守這一規定，讓這座小鎮變得更加美好。

A spokesman for the town hall told The Local: ‘Many people here work in the countryside, so it’s very usual to take a long lunch break and have a siesta after eating.’
一位市政廳的發言人告訴當地媒體：“這裏的許多人都在鄉村工作，所以花很長時間吃頓午餐、餐後午睡一會是很正常的。”
