印度最高法院新規引發爭議 放電影前必須先放國歌
The Supreme Court last Wednesday made it compulsory for cinema halls across India to play the national anthem before the movie begins along with an image of the national flag on the screen.
印度最高法院於上週三宣佈，全印度影院在電影放映前都必須播放國歌，並在大屏幕上顯示國旗的圖片。The apex court also stated that everyone present in the cinema hall must stand up and pay their respects to the national anthem.
該最高法院還宣佈，影院所有在場的觀衆必須起立並向國歌致敬。
When the national anthem is played it is imperative for everyone to show honour and respect. It would instill a sense of committed patriotism and nationalism, the court said.
這家法院稱：“當國歌響起的時候，每個人都表示出榮耀與敬意是非常必要的。這將逐漸增強堅定的愛國主義和民族主義精神。”
The issue has been debated across the country with many in favour of the anthem being sung in theatres, while others against it.
這一消息一經發佈，便在全國範圍內引起了議論，很多人支持在影院唱國歌，但也有些人表示反對。Several incidents of people being thrown out of movie halls for not standing up for the anthem have also been reported.
目前已經有了一些關於因國歌播放期間未起立而被趕出影廳的事件的報道。People have argued that not standing up for the national anthem does not mean disrespecting it and certainly does not prove one unpatriotic. Similarly, standing up for the anthem doesn't prove one's patriotism either.
有人認爲，未在國歌播放時起立不代表不尊重國歌，當然也不能證明這個人不愛國。同樣的道理，爲國歌起立也不能證明這個人是愛國的。
