The decision to ban Borat-style mankinis has helped a seaside town shed its 'Wild West' image as a haven for stag and hen parties after cutting crime and drunken anti-social behaviour, police say.
警察稱，一個海邊小鎮禁穿波拉特風格（Borat-style）的男士比基尼泳衣后，犯罪及醉酒等反社會行為減少，擺脫了“狂野西部”、婚前單身派對天堂的形象。

Figures show anti-social behaviour and criminal activity in the Cornish town of Newquay has fallen since 2009.
相關數據顯示，從2009年開始，紐基（Newquay）康沃爾鎮的反社會行為和犯罪活動就開始減少。

Officers say a determination to tackle excess drinking, public disorder and the wearing of inappropriate clothing such as mankinis - skimpy male bikini-style bathing costumes popularised by the comedy character Borat - has helped reduce crime.
官員們指出，他們嚴厲打擊酗酒、公共秩序混亂、衣著不當（比如穿著男士比基尼——因諧星波拉特而廣為流傳的緊身男士泳衣）等問題，從而降低了犯罪率。

Devon and Cornwall Police inspector Dave Meredith, the town's most senior policeman, said: 'When you speak to anybody from patrol officers to PCSOs, partners in town, shop keepers, everybody says Newquay has made a miraculous improvement.
德文郡和康沃爾郡警察局的檢察官戴夫·梅雷迪斯（Dave Meredith）是鎮里的最高級別警員，他說：“從巡警到社區服務警察（PCSO），鎮里的合伙人，商店的老板，人人都說紐基發生了神奇的變化。”

Five or six years ago and more, Newquay was a little bit of a Wild West town. It had a bad reputation nationally.
而在五六年前或更早，紐基有點像個狂野西部小鎮，在全國臭名昭著。

'People expected to come to Newquay to drink a lot, behave irresponsibly, a lot of really young people came to Newquay and knew they had a good chance of getting drunk. Certainly we have clamped down on that and the image of Newquay now has certainly curtailed some of that.'
“人們希望來紐基豪飲，為所欲為。很多年輕人來到紐基，覺得這是肆無忌憚醉酒的機會。我們當然控制了這個苗頭，而紐基現在的形象已有所好轉。”

Police and community leaders say the town now has more of a family-friendly image and that tourism is booming.
警察以及社區領導人說，小鎮現在有個更加居家的形象，同時旅游業也在迅猛發展。

Reports of anti-social behaviour dropped every year from 937 in 2009/10 to 485 in 2012/13.
關于反社會行為的報道從2009~2010年的937例下降到2012~2013年的485例。

Overall crime in Newquay has also reduced significantly - from 1,823 incidents in 2012/13 down to 1,624 in 2014/15.
紐基的整體犯罪率也大幅度下降——從2012~2013年的1,823例下降到2014~1015年的1,624例。

Dave Sleeman, the town's mayor, said the resort is 'unrecognisable' now from its previous image.
戴夫·斯利曼（Dave Sleeman）是這個鎮的鎮長，他說這個度假圣地跟之前的形象有天壤之別。

He said: 'I remember back in the 2000s you couldn't walk the streets on a Saturday without seeing someone wearing a mankini or what have you.
他說：“我還記得2000年左右的時候，星期六在大街上走一定會看到有人穿著男士比基尼或諸如此類衣服。

'But now they're not allowed in Newquay. The police will tell them to go home and get changed if they see them wearing one, and the guest houses and camp sites are pretty good at warning their guests about what's acceptable.
“但是現在這在紐基是禁止的。警察如果看到他們穿著這些，會勒令他們回家換衣服。而且招待所和露營地的人都會好好告誡他們的客人，告訴他們如何穿著妥當。“

'I think we have turned the corner here.'
“我覺得，我們逆襲了。”
