3月,英格兰将举行女王诞辰90周年庆祝活动，一场全国性的清扫活动即将开始。针对乱扔垃圾，破坏环境卫生的行为，政府将出台新规定，对于乱丢垃圾的行为的罚款将由50-80英镑增加到150英镑。

Fines for dropping rubbish are set to rise to £150 under plans to hit litter louts “in the pocket”.

根据打击乱扔垃圾者“口袋”的计划，对乱扔垃圾行为的罚金将会增至150英镑。

Ministers are preparing to publish a strategy that will “create a lasting neat and tidy legacy for England”. It comes as campaigners leading a nationwide clean up operation in March ahead of the Queen’s 90th birthday called on the public to challenge people who drop litter.

部长们正在准备发布一项旨在“为英格兰创造一份永久性的整齐洁净的遗产”的计划。这个计划的产生正值为迎接女王90岁诞辰将在3月份发起全国性的卫生清扫运动，活动组织者们呼吁公众向那些乱扔垃圾的人发起挑战。

Penalties set by councils for those who drop litter on the road range from £50 to £80 but the Department for Communities and Local Government will recommend higher fixed penalties of up to £150, according to The Daily Telegraph. The minimum fine is set to double from £50 to £100, it added.

委员会规定，对于在道路上乱扔垃圾的行为处以50到80英镑的罚款，但根据《每日电讯报》的消息，英国政府社区与地方政府部门将建议实施高达150英镑的定额罚款。另据报道，罚款的最小数额将是50—100英镑的两倍。

Communities minister Marcus Jones told newspaper, “Dropping litter in the public places is the kind of anti-social behavior that really gets people’s backs up, and rightly so. It’s thoughtless, selfish and ruins shared spaces for everyone. Not only that, litter clearance and removal costs hundreds of millions of pounds for councils every year—money that could be going on more urgently needed services. If litter louts can’t put their rubbish in the bin perhaps we can hit them in the pocket instead.”

社区部长马克斯·琼斯对《每日电讯报》说：“在公共场所乱扔垃圾是一种反社会行为，真得会犯众怒的，确实如此。这种行为非常轻率、自私，破坏了公共环境。不仅如此，委员会每年要拿出几百万英镑用于清理和处这些随手扔掉的垃圾—这些钱完全可以用于更为重要的服务。如果那些粗鲁的乱扔垃圾者不把垃圾扔进垃圾桶里，或许我们我应该让他们的钱包受影响。”
