Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet has ordered a ban on musical horns, after videos posted on social media showed people dancing on roads and roadsides as passing trucks blasted rhythmic little tunes.

社群媒體上發布的影片顯示，當過往的卡車播放有節奏的短曲時，人們在馬路和路邊跳舞，柬埔寨總理韓馬內下令禁止使用音樂喇叭。

Hun Manet called on the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation and police across the country to immediately take action against any vehicle whose normal horn has been replaced by a tune-playing one by ripping it out and restoring the standard honking type.

韓馬內呼籲公共工程和運輸部和全國各地的警察，立即對把正常喇叭換成會播放曲子喇叭的任何車輛採取行動，拆掉這些喇叭，恢復標準的喇叭樣式。

He commented on his Facebook page on Monday that recent social media posts had shown “inappropriate activity committed by some people, especially youth and children, dancing on the roadside to the musical sounds from trucks’ horns.”

韓馬內週一在自己的臉書頁面評論說，最近的社群媒體發文顯示，有些人，尤其是青少年和兒童，在路邊伴隨著卡車喇叭的音樂聲跳舞，做出不當行為。

Hun Manet said such dancing affects public order and poses a traffic hazard that is a threat to life and limb, not least of all to the dancers themselves. For Cambodians, there will be no more dancing in the street.

韓馬內說，這類舞蹈影響公共秩序，造成交通危害，進而危及生命和肢體，尤其是對舞者本身。而對柬埔寨人來說，今後街上將不再有人跳舞。
