乐动体育在线-欧洲球队遭遇困境对世俱杯是好消息外界曾

　　爱语导读:在法国，卖淫本身并不违法，但围绕卖淫所进行的活动却是非法的。有人说，这项法案就好比是，我们让面点师展示他们的蛋糕，却不允许人们购买。

　　Paying for sex in France is about to get a lot more expensive.

　　在法国，嫖娼将要付出更高的费用。

　　France has joined a growing number of European countries that criminalize clients of prostitutes.

　　越来越多的欧洲国家立法规定，嫖娼违法，现在法国也开始效仿。

　　The French National Assembly outlawed the hiring of prostitutes while eliminating penalties for sex workers. Paying for sex services now carries a fine of 1,500 euros ($1,700). Repeat offenders could be fined up to 3,750 euros ($4,260).

　　法国议会规定，嫖客买春为违法行为，但性工作者免除处罚。任何购买性服务的人，首次被抓将被罚款1500欧元(约1700美元)，再犯将被罚款3750欧元（约4260美元）。

　　Clients will also have to enroll in workshops to learn about the plight of sex workers, according to the National Assembly’s website.

　　据法国议会网站称，嫖客还得报名参加学习班，以了解性工作者的困境。

　　Meanwhile, sex workers will no longer be fined or jailed for public soliciting. And foreign sex workers actively trying to get out of prostitution can be given a six-month residential permit and state funding to prevent prostitution.

　　同时，性工作者将不会再被罚款、或因站街拉客被判入狱。而主动努力不再卖淫的外国性工作者，可以给予六个月的居留许可和国家基金，防止再去卖淫。

　　The measure has been quite controversial in France, having bounced back and forth between the legislature’s two chambers since 2013. It passed Wednesday in the National Assembly by a vote of 64 to 12.

　　一直以来，此规定在法国都饱受争议，自2013年以来就在法国议会两院之间来回反复审核，终于在4月6日以64对12票通过。

　　"I think this prostitution bill is a good thing," one Parisian wrote on Twitter. "They finally understand that the clients are guilty."

　　一位巴黎人在推特上发文：“我认为这项法案是件好事。他们终于认识到了嫖客是有罪的。”

　　But many wondered how prostitution could be legalized if the purchase of sex is now illegal.

　　但是有许多人也很好奇，如果买春是违法的，卖淫又如何能合法化。

　　"This anti-prostitution law is as if we allowed bakers to display their cakes but didn’t allow people to buy them," Micky Marty tweeted.

　　Micky Marty发推文说，“这项法案就好比是，我们让面点师展示他们的蛋糕，却不允许人们购买。”

　　France follows at least four other European countries that have criminalized the purchase of sex: Sweden, Norway, Iceland and the UK.

　　目前，至少已有瑞典、挪威、冰岛和英国等四个欧洲国家立法规定买春违法。
