Plans to extend Sunday trading so that shops open for as long as any other day have just ground to a halt in Parliament.

延长周日交易，这样商场在周日和其他每天一样正常营业的计划在议会遭遇搁浅。

Some commentators have suggested that the opponents of extended Sunday trading are killjoys who think Sunday is sacred and should be devoted just to going to church, turning back the clock to the days of Jimmy Porter.

一些评论家认为，延长周日交易的反对者是大煞风景的人，认为周日是神圣的，应该虔诚地去教堂，将时钟拨回Jimmy Porter的时代。

Since Sunday trading laws changed in 1994 and a relaxation in licensing laws, people can already shop, eat out and drink for most of the day – but for not quite as long as every other day.

自1994年周日贸易法改变，营业执照法放松以来，人们一天的大部分时间都可以购物，外出就餐和喝饮料——但是仍然不像其他的日子时间那么长。
