BBC News:希臘國會通過法案裁退1.5萬公務員
BBC News with Sue Montgomery
Parliament in Greece has approved a bill allowing the government to cut 15,000 jobs in the country’s civil service. The reforms, a condition for Greece receiving billions more dollars of international assistance, will mean an end to the guarantee of a job for life. From Athens, Mark Lowen reports.

希臘議會通過法案，允許政府削減全國1.5萬個公務員崗位。這項改革是希臘接受另外數十億國際援助的前提，這意味著鐵飯碗的結束。馬克·勞文報道。
As expected, the bill was passed with a comfortable majority—168 MPs voting in favour and 123 against. It means that for the first time under Greece’s constitution, the tradition of civil service jobs for life will end. Fifteen thousand who have broken rules at work will be laid off replaced by a younger workforce. It’s a reform of the public sector that the government says is long overdue and should now pave the way for almost 9bn euros of bailout money from Greece’s international creditors. But it’s likely to prompt more social unrest in a country where unemployment is already at a record high of over 27 per cent.
正如預料，這項法案以相對多數通過，168名議員支持，123名反對。這意味著，根據希臘憲法，公務員鐵飯碗的傳統(tǒng)已經結束。1.5萬名違反工作準則者將被解雇，代之以年輕員工。政府說這項公職部門改革早就應該實施了，這將為希臘從國際貸方那里獲得近90億歐元援助資金鋪平道路。但目前希臘的失業(yè)率已達到創(chuàng)紀錄的27%，因此可能引發(fā)進一步的社會動蕩。

Four firefighters were on the third floor of this collapsed building. They have been struggling for the last, the five, six hours to rescue one girl from a groove. And they were using a drilling machine and the sparks from the drilling machine triggered this fire because this is a clothing factory, there are lots of cottoned clothes all around the place. And in the fire, these four rescue members, rescue team members, were injured and the firefighters were rushed to the hospital immediately. The girl they were trying to rescue since morning has died.
4名消防員站在倒塌大樓的第三層，為了將一名女孩從凹槽中救出，他們已經奮戰(zhàn)了五六個小時。他們在用一臺鉆孔機，因為這是服裝廠，棉布遍地都是，而鉆孔機上的火花引起了大火。四名營救人員在大火中受傷，消防員很快就去了醫(yī)院。他們早晨以來一直試圖營救的女孩已經喪生。
Earlier, the owner of the factory building was arrested.

In Libya, a group of armed men have surrounded the building of the foreign ministry in Tripoli, demanding the institution get rid of what they call supporters of the deposed Libyan leader Col Gaddafi. Access to the building and surrounding area has been blocked and the men have told the BBC they will stay there until the demands are met. The BBC’s Rana Jawad has been to the scene.
在利比亞，一群武裝分子包圍了的黎波里外交部大樓，要求該部門清除他們所謂的被逐領導人卡扎菲的支持者。通往大樓和周圍地區(qū)的道路已被封鎖，武裝分子告訴BBC，他們要呆在這里直到要求得到滿足為止。BBC記者Rana Jawad在現(xiàn)場報道。
The armed protesters are calling for the long debated political isolation law to be passed. The law’s meant to prevent officials who worked in the late Col Gaddafi’s government from participating in politics. The road leading to the foreign ministry building is still blocked with several pick-up trucks mounted with anti-aircraft guns. There’s a mix of men, young and old, some in civilian clothes, others wearing army fatigues. There’s no clear leader amongst them and many are from different parts of the capital and the country who say they are former fighters from the war that toppled Col Gaddafi.
