Đang tạo bài học...
1
Thinking about taking a bath with a donkey?
2
Fancy getting drunk in a British pub?
3
Well think again, as these potentially harmless activities, and many more, could well land you in trouble with the long arm of the law.
4
Laws of the land that may have made sense when first brought about, have a habit of sticking around, even if they have no real place in today's society.
5
Add to those antiquated laws, a few newer bizarre rules of the land that have found their way into the law books, and we have a truly bizarre set of world legislation.
6
So what are some of the strangest laws that still remain on the books around the world?
7
That's what we'll find out in this episode of the Infographics Show, Strange Laws That Still Exist.
8
Great Britain has some of the strangest laws in the world, some of which are broken every day.
9
It is illegal, for example, to be drunk in a pub in the UK.
10
How many thousands of Brits break that law every single day?
11
It is also illegal to carry a plank of wood along the pavement, especially, one would imagine, after getting drunk in the pub.
12
Not quite so bizarre is the stipulation
13
that members of parliament in jolly old England are not allowed to wear a suit of armour in parliament.
14
But surely this law should have been updated by the lawmakers themselves while in parliament, no?
15
It is also highly illegal to handle a salmon in suspicious circumstances in England and Wales, and if there is an unsuspicious way to handle freshwater fish out of water,
16
we'd love to see it.
17
It's also an offence to beat or shake a carpet or rug, except if it's a doormat, until 4, 8 am, in the UK.
18
And if you're an Englander, forget about dining on exotic waterfowl.
19
Unless you happen to be the Queen of England, it is illegal to eat a swan.
20
Should you be pregnant in Britain, it is perfectly legal to spend a penny in a policeman's hat, or in fact, anywhere else should it be an emergency.
21
And on a similar note, and on the subject of toilets, up in Scotland, if somebody knocks on your door asking to use the bog, you must, by law, let them inside and offer your bathroom.
22
Also in Scotland, that bizarrely colorful land of haggis and bagpipes, there may be more to that folktale about Scotsmen and their kilts.
23
Ever wondered what exactly is beneath the famous tartan kilt?
24
Well according to ancient legend, nothing.
25
No underwear can be worn under the kilt, and according to an old law, or perhaps to be fair, urban legend, if a Scotsman is found to be wearing underwear beneath his kilt,
26
then he is routinely charged two beers by whoever discovered his non-commando status.
27
Although we can't confirm the exact legal standing of this law, it is too difficult to resist sharing.
28
The USA also has its fair share of quirky laws.
29
In Arizona, allowing your pet donkey to sleep in the bathtub is against the law.
30
Placing salt on a railway track is an offense punishable by the death penalty in Birmingham.
31
At first glance, this seems a tad harsh.
32
But the reason is that the train could either derail or attract cattle onto the track, which could also result in a major derailment or at least a delay.
33
So don't go putting salt on the rails, kids.
34
It's also against the law to play a game of frisbee without first acquiring the permission of a lifeguard in Los Angeles.
35
Although responsible frisbee throwing is, we are told, permitted.
36
Who can blame the city with all those lawsuits flying around?
37
And what happened to the chicken who crossed the road in Georgia?
38
Its owner got arrested.
39
It is against the law to let your chickens roam around unattended in this state.
40
In Hawaii, it is illegal to work at the same company as your twin brother or sister.
41
We guess this law is in place to avoid workplace confusion as to who is doing what
42
and who has taken the day off.
43
And dog lovers, beware.
44
Unless you have four legs and a tail that wags, it's illegal to live in a dog kennel in Idaho, bringing a whole new meaning to sleeping in the doghouse.
45
Perhaps stranger than all these laws, though, is the law in Vermont, whereby women who want false teeth are required, by law, to first obtain permission from their husband.
46
Quite why this law still exists is totally baffling to us here at the Infographics Show.
47
Perhaps someone can explain this one to us.
48
And then there's the strange legal world of mainland Europe.
49
In Greece, it is illegal to go sightseeing around the ancient ruins, wearing high heels, Even in France, it is illegal to name your pet pig Napoleon.
50
In Rome, Italy, keeping a lone goldfish in a fishbowl is considered animal cruelty and is against the law, but if you have more than one in the bowl, that is considered acceptable because,
51
we all know, fish are sociable creatures.
52
Kids in parts of Poland are not allowed to travel outside the house with any Winnie the Pooh memorabilia, including t-shirts, backpacks, or lunchboxes.
53
The cartoon character is considered a non-gender-specific, inappropriate hermaphrodite, without having the decency to wear a pair of pants, and the Poles, for some reason,
54
find Winnie's lack of genitalia offensive.
55
This one isn't exactly an ancient law, but was simply too brilliant to leave out of our study of quirky laws.
56
In the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, the sale and importation of water pistols is prohibited during New Year festivities.
57
The reason being
58
that a popular way to enjoy the New Year in this
59
part of the world is to take part in a huge water fight, and that, Governor Che Sofara reckons, may lead to social unrest.
60
In Thailand, it is illegal to step on money, and it is also illegal to leave home without wearing underwear.
61
It is also illegal to hold your hand out in tribute to the Hunger Games, or to publicly criticize a fellow countryman.
62
In parts of India, if a man is in debt, he can legally offer his wife as a down payment until the debt is settled.
63
In Japan, it is illegal to be fat, with the government setting a maximum waistline of 33.5 inches for men and 35.5 inches for women.
64
In China, Buddhist monks are banned from reincarnating unless they have specific government permission.
65
Yes, Asia is a wacky place.
66
In Samoa, it is illegal to forget your wife's birthday.
67
In Australia, it is against the law to disrupt a wedding, an act that is punishable by a fine of $10,000.
68
All in all, across the world, while laws are there to help protect us and keep society functioning as a moral and ethical place,
69
some of the decisions made by lawmakers will keep on baffling us as long as old laws remain
70
and new bizarre rules come into being.
71
So what's the strangest law you've ever heard of?
72
How does it stack up with our list of ridiculous laws?
73
Let us know in the comments.
74

Khi theo dõi video, hãy chú ý đến cách diễn đạt và ngữ điệu của người nói. Họ sử dụng một giọng điệu tự nhiên và vui tươi, phù hợp với nội dung hài hước của cuộc hội thoại. Để cải thiện phát âm của bạn, hãy thử shadow speak — một phương pháp giúp bạn lặp lại những gì nghe được ngay lập tức, theo kịp ngữ điệu và nhịp điệu của người nói.

Ngữ pháp trong video
Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:
| Cấu trúc | Trong video |
|---|---|
| Câu bị động be + quá khứ phân từ — nhấn vào việc xảy ra, không phải người làm | are broken · are not allowed · have been updated |
| Thì hiện tại hoàn thành have/has + quá khứ phân từ — việc đã xảy ra nhưng còn liên quan đến hiện tại | have found · has taken · you've ever heard |
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
