Another one is being drunk riding a horse in the UK.
The horse is considered a 'vehicle', and it is an offence to be intoxicated whilst controlling a vehicle, so it is therefore an offence to ride a horse whilst drunk.
Funny story. An old guy in a village had a routine where he would ride a horse to the pub, get ratarsed, and then flop on the horse and let it carry him home. One day he got arrested for being drunk in charge. The case was thrown out after it was proven that the horse just knew the route home and was walking automatically: he was in no state to do anything and so wasn't "controlling" the horse. Gotta love the quirks in the law sometimes!

英国酒后骑马犯法。
马被当作“交通车辆”，所以酒后驾驶一样视作违法。
有个很搞笑的事，一个乡下老伙计的每天日常就是骑马到酒馆，喝的酩酊大醉，然后翻上马，让它驮自己回家。一天他因为醉驾被逮捕了，可指控后来却又取消了，因为它们证明了马只是认识回家的路，自己走回了家，所以他并没有“驾驶”这马。
不得不说我有时候挺喜欢这些法律的奇葩故事的。

Illegal in US as well. Also, from what I understand, can be cited for DWI will riding a bicycle.

在美国一样是非法的。另外，根据我的理解，骑自行车也在醉酒驾驶指控范围内。

It's illegal to hang “obstructions” from your vehicle's rear view mirror, including fuzzy dice, air fresheners, GPS units, etc.

在后视镜上悬挂“障碍物”违法。包括骰子挂件，空气清新剂，GPS设备等等……

In Massachusetts, there are tons of Puritan laws still on the books. I imagine the average person breaks dozens every day. The first one that comes to mind is that tattoos and piercings were only made legal again in 2000.

在马塞诸塞州法典上有成吨的清教徒法律，我可以想象普通人每天都得违反上几打。我脑海里浮现的第一个是纹身和穿孔在2000年刚刚合法化。

Many laws like that are superseded by other laws, but the previous laws will still be 'on the books'.

许多法律被其它法律所取代，但以前的法律仍然会留在“法典上”

In my town in Mississippi, it's still legal to beat your wife at noon on Sunday, at the front door of city hall. They said not worth the time/effort to remove it, as it is superceded by other laws, ie domestic violence, assault/battery, etc.

在我家乡密西西比，周日中午在市政厅门前打老婆仍然是合法的。他们说不值得浪费时间去移除，因为它已经被其它法律，比如家庭暴力/殴打等等所取代了。

In a lot of places its illegal for minors to be out past a certain time at night. Its suprisingly common.
Also, its illegal to be in a lot of parks/bike paths/nature preserves past sundown. This is something I learned while playing Ingress, and Pokemon Go players should take note

好多地方未成年人在晚上规定时间后出门违法，这法律出乎意料地常见。
另外，日落后呆在很多公园/自行车道/自然保护区同样违法，这是我玩虚拟入侵时得到的教训，建议pokemon go玩家借鉴（译 两者都是手游，需要在现实里走动来完成任务/抓精灵）
