The Supreme Court on Wednesday made it compulsory for cinema halls across India to play the national anthem before the movie begins along with an image of the national flag on the screen.

　　本周四印度最高法院宣布全印度影院在电影放映前都必须播放国歌并在大屏幕上显示国旗图片。

　　The apex court also stated that everyone present in the cinema hall must stand up and pay their respects to the national anthem.

　　最高法院还宣布影院所有在场观众必须起立并向国歌致敬。

　　When the national anthem is played it is imperative for everyone to show honour and respect. It would instill a sense of committed patriotism and nationalism, the court said.

　　法院说：“当国歌响起的时候，每个人都表示荣耀与敬意是非常必要的。这将逐渐增强坚定的爱国主义和民族主义精神。”

　　SC said that the National Anthem should not be dramatised or commercially exploited, Abhinav Srivastav, legal counsel for petitioner, told reporters.

　　斯里瓦斯塔瓦男士是一名起诉人法律咨询顾问，他告诉记者说：“最高法院说到国歌不该被戏剧化或商业利用。”

　　The apex court was acting on a petition filed by Shyam Narayan Chouski, who runs an NGO in Bhopal, who had alleged that the anthem was being misused.

　　最高法院正在由Shyam Narayan Chouski着手准备一份请愿书。此人在博帕尔运营了一个非政府组织，他称国歌正在被滥用。

　　The issue has been debated across the country with many in favour of the anthem being sung in theatres, while others against it. Several incidents of people being thrown out of movie halls for not standing up for the anthem have also been reported. People have argued that not standing up for the national anthem does not mean disrespecting it and certainly does not prove one unpatriotic. Similarly, standing up for the anthem doesn’t prove one’s patriotism either.

　　消息发布后在全国范围内开始讨论，很多人支持在影院唱国歌，其他人表示反对。几则人们因国歌播放期间未起立而被赶出影厅的事件被报道。有人争论到未在国歌播放时起立不代表不尊重国歌，当然也不能证明这个人不爱国。同样的道理，为国歌起立也不能证明这个人是爱国的。

　　A YouTube video showing a Muslim couple being thrown out of the theatre for not standing up for the national anthem had gone viral in 2015 prompting citizens to cite it as another instance of intolerance. Popular Bollywood actress Preity Zinta lost her temper when she saw a viewer sitting during the national anthem and threw him out of the movie hall in 2016. The Maharashtra government ordered in 2003 that the anthem must be played in all cinema halls before the beginning of any film.

　　一则YouTube视频在2015年迅速走红，它展示了一对穆斯林夫妻因播放国歌时未起立而被赶出影院，这使得市民引以为例并对此现象零容忍。2016年，好莱坞著名女演员普丽缇·泽塔在看到一名观众没有为国歌起立时发怒并将他赶出了影厅。2003年，马哈拉施特拉邦政府下令影院在任何电影放映前都必须播放国歌。
