Thailand Begins Year-Long Mourning for King
泰国开始了对已逝国王长达一年的哀悼
The people of Thailand began a year-long mourning period following the death of their beloved king last week. King Bhumibol was considered a father figure in Thailand where he reigned for 70 years. Clothing retailers are selling out of black clothing, the official colour of mourning. The government has also asked TV and radio stations to refrain from broadcasting entertainment programming in the first 30 days of the mourning period. Tourists are being asked to respect the Thai people by dressing in sombre clothing.
上周,泰国万人敬仰的国王逝世以后,泰国人民开始了长达一年的哀悼。普密蓬国王在统治泰国的70年间,一直有着父亲一般的高大形象。服装店的黑色衣服都已售罄,黑色是哀悼的正式颜色。政府还让电视和广播台在哀悼期的前30天避免报道娱乐节目。游客也被要求穿暗色的衣服,体现对泰国人民的尊重。
