这真的点燃了伊朗的愤怒，你知道，这种愤怒已经酝酿了很长时间，而且已经在持续数周的女性反对戴头巾的小规模抗议中表现出来，在那里，女性必须佩戴头巾。

And so this really was ignited in part by all these longstanding grievances, unemployment, inflation, and also what women had been doing in the streets in recent weeks.

这是由长期的不满，包括失业，通胀，以及最近几周女性在街头的行为引起的。

So, a 22-year-old named Mahsa Amini, from Western Iran, the Kurdistan province, was in Tehran early last week and, according to reports, was detained by the so-called morality police as she was exiting the metro station, who can, you know, patrol and arrest women who are not in compliance with Iran's very strict dress code.

22岁的马莎·阿米尼，来自伊朗西部的库尔德斯坦省，上周早些时候待在德黑兰，据报道，她在走出地铁站时被所谓的道德警察拘留了，你知道，警察在巡逻时可以逮捕不符合伊朗异常严格的着装要求的女性。

And what is that dress code? Like, what are women supposed to be wearing in Iran?

根据这些规范，女性的着装方式有很多不同的形式和名称，但她们还应该穿长裙，但一般来说，要遮盖起来。

And Iran's also a really stylish place.

So you will see a lot of people having just a little bit of their hair covered, though that technically is not in compliance with the rules.

And, you know, people find their own ways to sort of still express their individuality within these very, very strict rules and, you know, how they can be in public.

而且，在这些非常严格的规定下，人们找到了自己的方式来表达个性，你知道，他们如何在公共场合露面。
