| "Some consumers gave up the purchasing after they are required to tell their names because it is not an 'honorable' thing to purchase morning-after pills in traditional Chinese thinking," a staff member at a Xiamen pharmacy told the newspaper. |
“有些顾客得知需要登记个人姓名后，就干脆不买了，因为按照中国人的传统思想，购买避孕药并不是什么光彩的事。”厦门一家药房的营业员告诉记者。 |
| The new rule sparked heated discussion on many online forums. |
这个新规定在很多论坛上都引发了激烈的争论。 |
| One concern repeatedly expressed was whether people's private information would be safeguarded or leaked by pharmacy staff to make money. |
说的最多的一种担心就是，药店工作人员会不会保管好个人信息资料，会不会为了谋利而泄露个人隐私。 |
| Well the local drugstores give their answer that they are not well-equipped for the job. "We drugstores just follow the order to collect information and submit them to police and health authorities for scrutiny, and we don't have the resources to protect such data from leaking," said a drugstore staff member in Fuzhou. |
不过，当地药店方面也表示，他们确实没有条件和能力对这些个人信息资料进行加密保管。“我们药店只是遵照规定，登记此类药物购买者的个人信息，应对公安、卫生部门的检查。我们无法确保这些信息不会被泄露。”福州市一家药店的工作人员这样说道。 |

Other discussion centered on the rule's impact on adolescent pregnancy, as young girls without ID cards would have difficulties buying such pills to preclude an unwanted pregnancy.

还有一些争论则集中在该规定对青少年群体的影响，因为未成年人没有身份证，将无法购买避孕药来中止意外怀孕。 |
