On January 12, a court in Germany ruled that employers have the right to order female employees to wear bras in the workplace. Furthermore, the length of a female employee's fingernails, as well as her hair, can also be determined by her immediate superiors.

　　德国某法院于当日颁布了一项新法案：雇主有权要求女性雇员在工作场所穿内衣。不仅如此，女性雇员的指甲长度、发型也可由她的直接上级决定。

　　According to the new rule, bras could only be white or flesh - because the court said bright colors should not "shine through." But for women who wear undershirts, it depends on.

　　根据规定，内衣只能是白色或者肉色——因为该法院称内衣颜色不得具有“穿透性”。但对于穿了背心的女性而言，情况可随意。

　　The court also ruled that men can sport beards, but the boss has a right to order it to be kept well trimmed and not become a Robinson Crusoe castaway version.

　　此外，该法院还规定，男性雇员可以蓄须，但老板有权命令他们把胡子打理好，以防他们变成翻版流浪汉“鲁滨逊”。

　　Before that, the court in Cologne was ruling on a case involving the dress and grooming habits of airport security personnel. Now its decisions will apply to all workplaces in the city.

　　此前，这家位于科隆的法院曾审理过一起关于机场安检人员着装打扮习惯的案子，如今相关裁决将应用于整个城市的工作场所。

　　"Being told to wear a bra and to keep fingernails to shorter than half-a-centimeter does not impinge on personal rights," responded the court to the rules.

　　而该法院对新法案回应如下：“要求员工穿内衣、指甲长度不得超过半厘米，这并不侵犯**。”
