塑料袋规则 Rules for Treating your Plastic Bags
分析
Here word“用”is poorly translated.“用”should be translated as "U-S-E"but instead is written as "A_B_U_S_E" which means“虐待”.So. it makes it sound as if you will be fined for treating your plastic bag poorly.
这里,“用”这个字翻译得不恰当。“用”应该翻译成“use”而不是“abuse",因为后者有“虐待”的意思。结果,整句话意思就变成了“滥用塑料袋罚款2美元”。
