一位身材修长,举止文雅,穿着光鲜的英国人向来访的美国人解释英国法律。
"You know, homosexuality was once considered so heinous in Britain that it was punishable by execution.
“你知道吗?在英国,同性恋从前被认为是罪大恶极,可判处极刑,
Only 100 years ago, it was reduced to a misdemeanor,
一百年前,被减为行为失检之轻微罪刑。
and about 50 years ago, decriminalized altogether. . .
大约五十年前则完全不触犯刑法……。
Personally, I shan't be satisfied till it's mandatory! "
不过就我个人而言,非要等到法令强制大家都得同性恋时,我才会开心。”
