The people of the Brussels will have to mind their manners from now on, with the city authorities announcing new fines of up to 250 euros for insults traded on the streets.

生活在比利时布鲁塞尔的人们今后要注意言语文明了，该市政府宣布了一项新举措，要对在公众场合骂人者予以最高250欧元的罚款。

"Any form of insult is from now on punishable, whether it be racist¹, homophobic（害怕同性恋的） or otherwise," a spokesman quoted Socialist² mayor Freddy Thielemans as saying.

Brussels, home to the EU and many top international institutions, is known for its family-friendly and cultivated lifestyle but the mayor wants to crack down on the everyday unpleasantness found in any big city.

To do so, officials came to an agreement with judicial³ authorities to impose fines of between 75 and 250 euros for insults, petty theft（小偷） and rough jostling where no physical harm is caused.

The spokesman for the mayor said the courts up to now had been too busy to take up such cases and as a result many police "had little incentive⁴ to take any action over such incidents".

The issue was highlighted in a recent film by Belgian director Sofie Peeters who recorded in secret the everyday insults and exchanges she ran into on the streets of the city.
