英国一家公司发明了方形刀尖的刀具,而目前英国的刺杀案数量创下了历史新高

A cutlery company in England has designed a new line of kitchen knives with square tips in an effort to reduce the rising knife crime that has plagued the United Kingdom.

英国一家刀具公司设计出一种方形刀尖的新型厨刀,以减少英国不断上升的刀具犯罪率。

The Viners firm, founded in Sheffield in 1908, created the “Assure” range of blunt-tipped knives after knife-related crime reached a record high in England and Wales last year.

Viners公司成立于1908年的谢菲尔德,去年在英格兰和威尔士与刀具相关的犯罪创下历史新高后,该公司推出了“担保”系列钝头刀具。

In Oct. 2019, the BBC reported new figures had shown a 7 percent rise in knife crime — a record high — in the months from June 2018 to June 2019. The data showed offenses involving a knife or sharp instrument increased from 41,000 to over 44,000 in those 12 months.

2019年10月,BBC报道称,在2018年6月至2019年6月的几个月里,持刀犯罪上升了7%,创历史新高。数据显示,在这12个月里,涉及刀具或锋利工具的违法行为从4.1万起增加到逾4.4万起。

“With knife-related crime incidents at a record high and a reported 285 fatalities in the last 12 months alone, the UK Government has taken the decision to reclassify kitchen knives as an offensive weapon with the new Offensive Weapons Act 2019, leading some retailers to remove single knives from sale in retail stores,” the company said in a news release.

“与过去犯罪事件创下新高,报告了285例疑似仅在过去12个月中,英国政府已经决定重新分类厨房刀具作为进攻武器与新的进攻性武器法案2019年,导致一些零售商把单一的刀从在零售商店销售。”该公司在一份新闻稿中说。

The firm said in response to the new legislation, it designed the square-ended knives that are “shaped to reduce and prevent injuries, accidents and fatalities” while still maintaining their functionality.

该公司表示,作为对新法规的回应,他们设计了方形刀头,“其形状是为了减少和防止伤害、事故和死亡”,同时仍保持其功能。

The knives were “repeatedly tested to ensure the tip does not pierce skin intentionally or otherwise,” Viners told the Independent.

维纳斯告诉《独立报》,这些刀具“经过反复测试,以确保刀尖不会有意或无意地刺破皮肤”。
