冰川崩塌引发洪水 已353人遇难

A glacier collapse floods the Nepal–Tibet border: 353 dead so far

据美联社报道,8月26号,尼泊尔与中国西藏交界处一座冰川崩塌,几层楼高的水和泥石顺着山谷冲下来,房屋、桥梁被整片冲毁。尼泊尔警方星期四告诉美联社,这场洪水的死亡人数已升到353人,另有1300多人下落不明,里头有外国游客,也有去朝圣的人。美国地质调查局起先记录到一次地震,后来更正说,那是冰川崩塌造成的震动。尼泊尔军方已用直升机救出100多人。

The Associated Press reported that on Aug. 26 a glacier collapsed on the Nepal–Tibet border, sending a wall of water and mud several storeys high down the valleys and destroying homes and bridges. Nepal Police told the AP on Thursday that the death toll from the floods had risen to 353, with more than 1,300 still unaccounted for, including foreign tourists and pilgrims. The U.S. Geological Survey first logged an earthquake, then corrected it: the shaking came from the glacier collapse. Nepal's army has airlifted more than 100 people out.

社区影响哥伦比亚广播公司引尼泊尔旅游局说,失踪的人里有65名美国公民。美国驻尼泊尔使馆已请当地美国公民先给家里报个平安。家里真联系不上人,第一步是找组团的旅行社要名单和最后一次联络的时间,再往美国国务院报,别只在微信群里等消息。
COMMUNITY IMPACTCBS News, citing the Nepal Tourism Board, says 65 U.S. citizens are among the missing, and the U.S. Embassy in Nepal has asked Americans there to get word to their families. If someone at home genuinely cannot be reached, the first step is to ask the tour operator for the manifest and the time of last contact, then report to the State Department — not to sit waiting on a WeChat group.

贝尔维尤(Bellevue)半数新摄像头遭人为破坏

Half of Bellevue's new speed cameras vandalized

据KIRO 7电视台8月26号报道,贝尔维尤(Bellevue)上周新装的八个测速摄像头,有四个在那个周末被人砸坏,被砸的分别在148th Ave NE和Forest Dr SE。市政府8月13号的公告说,这批摄像头装在医院、公园、上学步行路线和事故多发路段附近,每处先有一个月警告期;8月装的这四处,预计9月第三周开始开罚单,罚款124美元。警方已加派巡逻,并向街坊征集线索。

KIRO 7 reported on Aug. 26 that four of the eight speed safety cameras Bellevue installed last week were vandalized over that weekend, the damaged ones on 148th Ave NE and Forest Drive SE. The city's Aug. 13 announcement says the cameras sit near hospitals, parks, school walk zones and corridors with a record of speed-related crashes, and that each location gets a one-month warning period first; for the four installed in August, citations are expected to start in the third week of September, at a $124 fine. Police have added patrols and are asking neighbours for tips.

社区影响摄像头选的是医院、公园和上学步行路线附近,正是长者接送孙辈、走去买菜常过的那几处。警告期一过,由警局的人核实之后,罚单开给登记的车主,跟当时开车的是谁无关;车借给儿女或亲友,124美元的单子仍旧寄到车主名下。
COMMUNITY IMPACTThe cameras were sited near hospitals, parks and school walk routes — exactly the places older residents cross on the school run and the trip to the shops. Once the warning period ends, a police employee verifies each violation and the citation goes to the registered owner, regardless of who was driving; lend the car to an adult child or a friend and the $124 notice still arrives in the owner's name.

T-Mobile再裁华州77人 9月下旬起分批离岗

T-Mobile cuts another 77 Washington jobs, starting late September

据西雅图科技媒体GeekWire8月26号报道,总部设在贝尔维尤的T-Mobile已向华州就业保障部递交裁员通知,将在9月21号到11月18号之间裁掉77名华州员工;其中63人是这次新公布的,另外14人是先前宣布、改到今秋执行的。裁的岗位从门市销售、客服,一直到总部的资深架构师和总监,同时永久关掉七处零售门市。该公司今年2月已在华州裁掉393人。

GeekWire reported on Aug. 26 that Bellevue-based T-Mobile has filed a layoff notice with Washington's Employment Security Department covering 77 state employees between Sept. 21 and Nov. 18 — 63 newly disclosed, plus 14 whose previously announced departures were moved to this autumn. The cuts run from retail mobile experts and account care staff to principal systems architects and senior directors, and seven retail stores will close permanently. The company cut 393 Washington workers in February.

社区影响东区不少华人家庭靠科技业吃饭,同一家公司1年之内两轮裁员,说明这不是一次性的调整。按华州规矩,大规模裁员要先向州就业保障部备案,执行日期和岗位都写在公开文件上;家里有人在名单里,最早的离岗日就是9月21号,可以照这个日子往前安排。
COMMUNITY IMPACTA lot of Eastside Chinese households live off the tech sector, and two rounds of cuts at one company inside a year is not a one-off adjustment. Washington requires a mass layoff to be filed with the state Employment Security Department first, with the dates and job titles in a public document; if someone at home is on the list, the earliest separation date is Sept. 21, and planning can work backwards from that.

名词解释Glossary layoff:裁员;Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification:裁员预先通知

贝尔维尤(Bellevue)上半年新公寓申请量超过西雅图

Bellevue took in more new apartment applications than Seattle this year

据《城市生活》8月26号报道,今年前六个月,贝尔维尤(Bellevue)递进来的多户住宅申请至少1585套,西雅图是1137套。对本地华人家庭来说,这意味着往后几年东区的新公寓供应会更足,租金的压力相对小一些。报道说西雅图同期的申请量比去年少了约30%,这笔账要过几年才会落到租金上。

The Urbanist reported on Aug. 26 that in the first six months of this year Bellevue took in permit applications for at least 1,585 multifamily units, against 1,137 in Seattle. For Chinese families here that points to a fuller pipeline of new Eastside apartments in the next few years and somewhat less rent pressure. Seattle's intake fell about 30% year over year, the report said — a gap that shows up in rents only years later.

小巨人山火逼近15万英亩 6000多处建筑受威胁

The Little Giant Fire nears 150,000 acres, threatening 6,000-plus structures

据KOMO电视台8月27号报道,奇兰县(Chelan County)的小巨人山火已烧到近15万英亩,6000多处房屋和木屋受到威胁,州里的消防官员说,它眼下是全美第二优先的火场。这火是雷打着的,从7月里就烧起来,烧在陡峭的密林地带,离社区不远。山火季还没过去,家里有气管毛病的长者,出门前先看一眼当天的空气。

KOMO reported on Aug. 27 that the Little Giant Fire in Chelan County has burned close to 150,000 acres and is threatening more than 6,000 homes and cabins, with state fire officials calling it the nation's No. 2 priority fire. Lightning started it back in July and it is burning in steep, heavily timbered country near communities. Fire season is not over: anyone at home with a breathing problem should check the day's air before going out.

储罐爆裂11死三个月后 华州查出35项违规

Three months after a tank rupture killed 11, Washington finds 35 violations

今年5月,朗维尤(Longview)一家纸浆厂的储罐爆裂,11名工人死亡、八人受伤。据MyNorthwest8月26号报道,华州生态部三个月后查出35项环境违规:90万加仑强碱液外泄,一部分未经处理就排进哥伦比亚河,更大的量流进旁边一条水沟,造成大批鱼类死亡,影响持续了八天。厂方有30天时间答复,之后才开罚,每项违规每天最高1万美元。

In May a tank ruptured at a pulp mill in Longview, killing 11 workers and injuring eight. MyNorthwest reported on Aug. 26 that three months on, the state Department of Ecology has found 35 environmental violations: 900,000 gallons of caustic white liquor escaped, some of it reaching the Columbia River untreated while a larger volume ran into a nearby ditch, causing widespread fish kills over eight days. The company has 30 days to respond before penalties are set, at up to $10,000 per violation per day.

州长推动全州公校禁手机 连午饭时间也不许用

The governor pushes a statewide school phone ban, lunch periods included

据KOMO电视台8月27号报道,华州州长鲍勃·弗格森正在推动一项提案,全州公立中小学的学生在整个上课日内都不得使用手机。按提案的说法,午饭时间和课间也一样不许用。家里有孙辈上学的,这几周正好跟孩子的爸妈对一下:万一学校真禁了,白天要找孩子该打哪个电话。

KOMO reported on Aug. 27 that Gov. Bob Ferguson is pushing a proposal to bar students in Washington's public K-12 schools from using phones for the whole school day. Under the proposal that includes lunch periods and the time between classes. If there are school-age grandchildren at home, this is the moment to settle with their parents which number to call during the day if the school does go phone-free.

华州图书奖入围名单公布 西雅图西区作者上榜

Washington State Book Award finalists announced, with a West Seattle author on the list

据西雅图西区博客8月26号报道,华州图书奖非虚构与传记类的入围名单已经公布,住在西雅图西区的作者鲍勃·怀斯以《黑金》一书上榜。这本书写的是200年来煤怎么一步步改了美国人的生活和这片土地。华州图书奖由华州图书中心主办,那是国会图书馆图书中心下面的机构;想读的,可以先到附近的图书馆问一声有没有。

The West Seattle Blog reported on Aug. 26 that the Washington State Book Award finalists in nonfiction and biography have been announced, and West Seattle author Bob Wyss made the list with "Black Gold." The book traces how, over two centuries, coal reshaped American life and the land itself. The award is run by the Washington Center for the Book, an affiliate of the Library of Congress Center for the Book; anyone curious can ask at their nearest library first.

伊萨夸(Issaquah)附近15英里溪桥重新通车

The Fifteen Mile Creek bridge near Issaquah is open again

据《伊萨夸报》8月26号报道,伊萨夸(Issaquah)附近SE May Valley Road上、Issaquah-Hobart Road SE往西一点的15英里溪桥,6月15号起封闭重建,8月25号重新通车。旧桥已经94岁,修修补补太勤,新桥两边各加了八英尺宽的路肩给走路的人,还拆掉了旧的木桩以保护溪水水质。到10月为止,白天还有零星的单侧施工,走这条路的最好多留几分钟。

The Issaquah Reporter said on Aug. 26 that the Fifteen Mile Creek bridge on SE May Valley Road, just west of Issaquah-Hobart Road SE near Issaquah, reopened on Aug. 25 after closing on June 15 to be rebuilt. The old bridge was 94 years old and needed constant repair; the new one adds eight-foot shoulders on each side for people on foot and removes the old creosote piles to protect water quality. Daytime single-lane work continues through October, so allow a few extra minutes on that road.

美国文化一则American Customs

在美国,公司要成规模地裁员,不能只在内部说一声。像T-Mobile这一回,得先把一份《裁员预先通知》交给华州就业保障部,写明裁多少人、哪些岗位、从哪天到哪天执行;文件一交,媒体和公众都看得到。所以报纸能早在头一批人离岗的好几个礼拜之前,把日期和要关的门市名单登出来。

In the United States a company cannot simply announce a sizeable layoff internally. As with T-Mobile this week, it must first file a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification with the state Employment Security Department, setting out how many jobs, which roles, and the window in which the cuts happen — and once filed, the press and the public can read it. That is why a newspaper can print the dates and the list of closing stores weeks before anyone actually leaves.

美国的想法是:一个人丢了工作,不只是他一家的事,还牵着房租、学费和一条街的生意。所以法律把「提前说一声」变成一道手续——先让州里知道,好安排再就业和失业金,也让当事人有时间找下家。摊开来办,代价小于一夜之间人去楼空。

The reasoning is that one person losing a job is not only that household's problem — it pulls on rent, tuition and the shops along a street. So the law turns "say it in advance" into a procedure: tell the state first, so retraining and unemployment benefits can be lined up and the worker has time to look. Doing it in the open costs less than everyone vanishing overnight.

中国人讲「好聚好散」,通常是私下谈妥、体面收场,很少落在纸上。两边其实看重同一件事:别让人猝不及防。差别只在美国把这份体面写成了公文,咱们把它留在人情里。

Chinese custom prizes parting on good terms — usually settled quietly, decently, and rarely put in writing. Both sides value the same thing: not blindsiding someone. The difference is that America wrote that decency into a public document, while we kept it inside the relationship.

今日一词Word of the Day

layoff

裁员;被公司裁掉

losing a job because the employer is cutting positions, not because the worker did anything wrong

My son was laid off, but the company said he can apply at another store.

看新闻、跟儿女聊工作变动时用得上。说某人被裁了,是 he was laid off;别说成 he was fired——后者听着像是他犯了错被开除的。

Useful when reading the news or talking with adult children about work. "He was laid off" is the phrase; "he was fired" sounds as if he did something wrong.
