為了讓生活更美好,社會更和諧,世界各地的政府都在不斷努力著,快來看看腦洞大開的政府都想出了什么辦法來解決讓我們頭疼的問題吧。

1. 是不是很討厭看到電線桿或燈柱上的“狗皮膏藥”? 

政府想出了這樣一個(gè)辦法:給燈柱“穿衣服” 

  A special cover on a lamp post to prevent people placing stickers or adverts on it.

2. 大家有沒有在馬路上走著走著就聞到一股不可描述的味道?這到底是從哪個(gè)犄角旮旯里飄過來的呢?

來看政府的新發(fā)明:

This invention is sometimes called the "Anti pee-pee." It’s made from a triangular piece of metal, angled in such a way that anybody who tries to relieve himself againt will end up with pee on his shoes.

這項(xiàng)發(fā)明有時(shí)被叫做“反小便”設(shè)計(jì)。它由一塊三角鐵制成,這樣形成的角度就能讓在這里小便的人最終尿到自己的鞋上。

3. 地鐵站里等地鐵,可它遲遲不來,很焦慮怎么辦?

看看倫敦政府的做法:

 

If you travel on the London underground, you may get to listen to classical music as you’re waiting for your train. It’s believed that classical music is an effective way to reduce crime and antisocial behavior on the network. It also helps people to calm and not to get stressed by crowded trains and delays.

 

如果你搭乘倫敦地鐵,等車時(shí)你可能會聽到古典音樂。據(jù)說古典音樂能夠有效降低網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪和反社會行為,同樣,在擁擠的車廂內(nèi)以及地鐵晚點(diǎn)時(shí)播放古典音樂還能幫助人們平靜下來,不那么緊張。

 

4. 我們都知道吸煙有害健康,可是戒煙真不容易

為了幫助民眾戒煙,政府也是煞費(fèi)苦心:

A digital screen equipped with smoke detectors is placed in a busy street of Stockholm to encourage smokers to kick their smelly habit. The man in the picture starts coughing heavily when someone with a lit cigarette passes by.

 

斯德哥爾摩繁忙的一條街道上放置著內(nèi)置有煙霧探測儀的數(shù)碼顯示屏,以此來鼓勵吸煙者戒煙。當(dāng)行人叼著煙經(jīng)過時(shí),屏幕里的男人開始劇烈咳嗽起來。(這個(gè)發(fā)明小編給滿分)

 

5. 貌似現(xiàn)代人壓力越來越大,自殺率也在攀升,所以人們常常會說:

 

在日本,越軌自殺很普遍,為了讓大家珍愛生命,日本政府想出了一個(gè)辦法:

 

In Japan, authorities installed bright blue lights in railway stations, where there is a high occurrence of suicide from people jumping onto the tracks.  During the 4 years of installing the blue lights, there has been 84 % decrease in suicide. So, it does seem to work!

 

 

在火車站裝上明亮的藍(lán)燈,于是乎四年內(nèi)自殺率降低了84%(據(jù)稱,藍(lán)色二極管發(fā)出的藍(lán)色燈光可以使人保持鎮(zhèn)定,打消自殺念頭。)
