游客因带走意大利海滩的沙子被罚款

Italian police have seized more than 200 pounds of sand, stones and shells stolen from the beaches of Sardinia last year, dishing out fines to dozens of tourists who took them as souvenirs. The items were returned to the beaches they were taken from earlier this week. The Italian island's idyllic white sand is protected, and tourists face hefty fines and even jail time for removing it from local beaches.

意大利警方查获了去年从撒丁岛海滩偷走的200多磅沙子、石头和贝壳，并对几十名将其作为纪念品的游客处以罚款。本周早些时候，这些物品被送回了它们所在的海滩。意大利岛屿精美的白沙是受到保护的，游客从当地海滩上拿走白沙将面临巨额罚款，甚至坐牢。
