Augmented reality game Pokemon Go has landed up in an Indian court over allegations it is hurting the religious sentiments of millions of vegetarians.
精灵宝可梦Go是一款增强现实性的游戏,但却被印度法庭指责伤害了数以万计的素食主义者的宗教情感,因此被告上法庭。
The high court in Gujarat state was asked to ban the game because its images of eggs in places of worship were "blasphemous" to Hindus and Jains.
由于该游戏在某些用于敬拜的宗教场所出现了蛋的图样,这被认为是对耆那教的亵渎和教徒的不敬,古吉拉特邦州高等法院被要求下令禁止该游戏。
The court has asked the makers of Pokemon Go to respond to the charges.
同时,法院要求精灵宝可梦Go游戏的开发商出面回应此问题。
It is unclear if the makers, Niantic Inc, will do so. The court move has been met with derision on social media.
目前,开发商奈安蒂克公司是否会下撤该游戏尚不清楚。但印度法院的此举却在社交媒体上遭到了一片嘲笑。
Pokemon Go has not been officially released in India, but many still play thanks to workarounds.
由于精灵宝可梦Go尚未在印度正式发行,很多人翻墙玩这个游戏。
Many reports say temples are often Pokestops - especially marked landmarks where players can gather supplies.
很多媒体报道说,寺庙往往是精灵的商店,尤其是地标性的寺庙,玩家可以在这里收集用品。
The petition also cited infringement of privacy, and a possible threat of life to the players searching for Pokemons as further grounds for banning the game.
为了禁止该游戏,请愿书还列举了另外的一些原因,认为该游戏侵犯了隐私权,对一些为了寻找精灵而走很远的玩家的生命会构成一定的威胁。
The news invited ridicule on social media, with Pokemon Go trending on Twitter in India.
这一新闻招致了社交媒体上一片调侃嘲讽的声音,讽刺的是,精灵宝可梦Go这一游戏在印度的推特上慢慢变得流行。
