Two major U.S. retailers³ changed their gun sales policies last Wednesday in the fallout over a Florida high school massacre⁴.

在佛罗里达高中枪击案发后，美国两大零售连锁店于上周三调整了它们的枪支出售政策。

Walmart, the country's biggest retailer², announced it is raising the age restriction⁵ for buying guns and ammunition⁶ to 21.

美国最大的零售商沃尔玛宣布，购置枪支和弹药的最低年龄为21岁。

"We take seriously our obligation to be a responsible seller," it said in a statement.

沃尔玛在声明中称：“作为负责的销售商，我们十分重视肩负的义务。”

Walmart is also dropping toys and other items that resemble assault-style weapons from its website.

此外，沃尔玛还从其网站上撤下了看似攻击性武器的玩具及其它商品。

The retail¹ giant stopped selling assault-style guns in 2015 and does not sell handguns except for its stores in Alaska.

这家零售巨头从2015年就停止出售攻击性枪支，除了在阿拉斯加的零售店外，沃尔玛也不在其它地方出售手枪。

Last Wednesday, Dick's Sporting Goods announced it would no longer sell assault-style rifles or any gun to anyone younger than 21.

上周三，迪克体育用品公司宣布，将不再向不满21岁的顾客出售任何枪支。

The chain went one step further and urged Congress to ban assault-style weapons and raise the minimum age.

该公司还敦促美国国会禁止攻击性武器，并提高购买武器弹药的法定最低年龄。

Both Walmart and Dick's say they are committed to serving sportsmen, hunters, and the majority of gun owners whom they call law-abiding citizens.

沃尔玛和迪克体育用品公司都表示，他们致力于继续为运动员、猎人和大多数枪支拥有者服务，因为这些人是遵纪守法的公民。
