美国新闻一则NATIONAL大峡谷山洪 两人遇难82人撤离
Grand Canyon flash flood: two dead, 82 evacuated
8月29号星期六下午,大峡谷国家公园谷底的天使溪一带突发山洪。到8月31号晚上,已确认两人遇难、一人下落不明;原先按入园许可推算失联的15人,除一人外都已联系上,至少82人被撤出谷底。气象局说,短短半个钟头下了半英寸到一英寸的雨,大半当场变成地面上的径流。跨溪的人行桥几乎全毁,园内那条输水管道约40%被毁、目前停用。
On the afternoon of Saturday, Aug. 29, a flash flood tore through the Bright Angel Creek area at the bottom of Grand Canyon National Park. As of Monday evening two people were confirmed dead and one was still missing; of the roughly 15 initially unaccounted for under the park's permit system, all but one have been reached, and at least 82 people were evacuated from the inner canyon. The Weather Service said half an inch to an inch of rain fell in just half an hour and most of it ran off instantly. Nearly all the footbridges over the creek were destroyed, and about 40% of the park's Transcanyon Waterline is destroyed and out of service.
社区影响华人家庭去大峡谷多半只在南缘看景,这回出事的是谷底步道和吊桥。南北两缘照常开放,但南缘的储水只够大约两周,公园正在要求大幅节水。秋天要去的,出门前先上公园管理局网站查最新公告,别照旧攻略走。
COMMUNITY IMPACTChinese families visiting the Grand Canyon usually stay on the South Rim; what was hit was the inner-canyon trails and bridges. Both rims remain open, but the South Rim has only about two weeks of water in storage and the park is requiring significant conservation. Anyone planning an autumn trip should check the Park Service's latest notices rather than following an old itinerary.
名词解释Glossary flash flood:山洪暴发;National Park Service:国家公园管理局;inner canyon:谷底

本地新闻LOCAL NEWS华州公务员在百余处工点走出办公楼
WA state workers walk out at more than 100 worksites
据《西雅图时报》报道,8月31号星期一中午,华州州府雇员工会的会员因不满州政府在合同谈判里给出的加薪幅度,在全州100多处工点走出办公楼抗议。这个工会代表5万多名公职人员。奥林匹亚(Olympia)的州府办公室、华盛顿大学、西雅图的港景医院都有人参加。工会强调这不是罢工,参加的人用的是休息时间或年假。州长办公室回应说,州长敬重州府雇员,但州里正面临预算困难。
The Seattle Times reports that at midday on Monday, Aug. 31, members of the Washington Federation of State Employees walked out at more than 100 worksites across the state, saying the pay raises offered in contract talks are inadequate. The union represents more than 50,000 public employees. Participants gathered at state offices in Olympia, at the University of Washington and at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The union stressed this was not a strike: workers used scheduled breaks or vacation time. The governor's office said he respects state workers but the state faces real budget problems.
社区影响这些人管的是发失业金、办驾照、照顾残障和长者的那些窗口。合同一直谈不拢、空缺补不上,最先变长的就是排队和等电话的时间。家里有人在州政府上班的,年底州长的新预算案出来之前,要盯紧合同谈到哪一步。
COMMUNITY IMPACTThese are the people who staff the counters for unemployment benefits, driver licensing and disability and elder care. If the contract stays unsettled and vacancies go unfilled, waits and phone queues are the first thing to lengthen. Families with someone working for the state should follow the talks closely before the governor's new budget lands at the end of the year.
名词解释Glossary union contract:工会合同;walkout:停工抗议;collective bargaining:集体谈判

本地新闻LOCAL NEWS亚马逊被控暗中抬高卖家广告价
Amazon accused of secretly inflating sellers' ad prices
8月31号,联邦贸易委员会连同华州总检察长布朗和另外21个州的总检察长,在西雅图的联邦地区法院起诉亚马逊。起诉书说,从2018年底开始,亚马逊在网站的广告竞价里加进了自己设的价钱,向大约120万家广告客户多收了合计200亿美元。亚马逊否认,说自己的定价没有伤害卖家和买家,对方误解了广告竞价是怎么运作的。
On Aug. 31 the Federal Trade Commission, joined by Washington Attorney General Nick Brown and the attorneys general of 21 other states, sued Amazon in federal district court in Seattle. The complaint says that from late 2018 Amazon inserted prices of its own into the ad auctions on its site, overcharging roughly 1.2 million advertising customers a total of $20 billion. Amazon denies it, saying its pricing has not harmed sellers or shoppers and that the claims misunderstand how the auctions work.
社区影响东区不少华人开的小店靠亚马逊卖货,也在上面买广告位。华州总检察长布朗说,华州很多小生意人靠亚马逊吃饭,他要盯着亚马逊公平对待他们。案子刚起诉,还没判;检方要求法院判亚马逊退款和罚款,真判下来商家不必自己去追。
COMMUNITY IMPACTPlenty of Chinese-run small shops on the Eastside sell on Amazon and buy ad slots there. Washington Attorney General Nick Brown said many of the state's small-business owners rely on Amazon for their livelihoods and that his office means to see them treated fairly. The case was only just filed and nothing is decided; the plaintiffs are asking the court to order restitution and penalties, and if that happens sellers will not have to chase the money themselves.
名词解释Glossary Federal Trade Commission:联邦贸易委员会;attorney general:州总检察长;restitution:退款赔偿

亚马逊在华州裁121人 10月起离岗
Amazon cuts 121 jobs in Washington, effective from October
亚马逊向州里报备,7月裁掉华州121名员工,报备里列了十来处地点。贝尔维尤(Bellevue)一处办公室受影响最大,53人;西雅图35人,萨姆纳仓库32人,另有一人在华州远程办公。收到通知的人离岗日期排在10月1号到27号之间,公司说这次不是大规模裁员。华州1年前收紧了裁员报备的规矩,这类名单现在会公开,家里有人在科技公司上班的,可以留意州就业保障部的公告。
In a state filing Amazon reported laying off 121 Washington employees in July across about a dozen listed sites. One Bellevue office was hit hardest with 53; Seattle had 35, the Sumner warehouse 32, and one more person was working remotely in Washington. Termination dates fall between Oct. 1 and Oct. 27, and the company says this is not a large-scale round of cuts. Washington tightened its layoff-notice rules a year ago, so these lists are now public; families with someone in tech can watch the state Employment Security Department's postings.

房源预挂牌之争和解 卖家多了一段准备期
Listing pre-marketing fight settled, sellers get a preparation window
地产公司Compass去年4月起诉华州房源共享系统,争的是经纪人能不能在正式挂牌前先给客户看房。8月31号双方和解,9月4号起加一档新状态,卖家可以选最多21天的准备期,这段时间的调价和挂牌天数不对外公开。要卖房的长者可以问经纪人这一档要不要用,因为它会影响买家看到的「挂了多少天」。
The brokerage Compass sued Washington's listing service last April over whether agents may show a home to clients before it is formally listed. The two settled on Aug. 31, and from Sept. 4 a new status lets sellers take up to 21 days of preparation, during which price changes and days-on-market are not shown publicly. Elders selling a home should ask their agent whether to use it, because it changes the 'days on market' buyers see.

西雅图校区限速摄像头增至35个
Seattle now has 35 school-zone speed cameras
开学了,西雅图的校区限速摄像头加到35个,闪灯一亮就开始拍,限速20英里。校区里的罚款要翻倍,而且不能减免——超速10英里平常罚136美元,在校区就是272美元。塔科马(Tacoma)也装了四个,埃弗雷特(Everett)在一所小学附近新加了一个,接送孙辈的时候把车速压下来最省事。
With school back in session Seattle now has 35 school-zone speed cameras, which switch on when the beacons flash in a 20 mph zone. Fines double inside a school zone and cannot be waived or reduced — 10 mph over costs $136 normally and $272 in a school zone. Tacoma has added four cameras and Everett one near an elementary school, so the simplest move on the grandchildren's run is to slow down.

贝尔维尤学院(Bellevue College)60周年募得41.5万美元
Bellevue College's 60th anniversary raises $415,200
贝尔维尤学院(Bellevue College)办了60周年募款晚会,近200位捐款人和街坊凑出41.52万美元,创了纪录。这笔钱用在奖学金、课程、补助和学生的应急金上。第一位「杰出校友」给了Kizuki拉面和Supreme Dumplings的创办人,晚会上还有一位念护理的单亲妈妈上台讲了奖学金怎么帮到她。
Bellevue College held a 60th-anniversary fundraising gala where nearly 200 donors and neighbours raised a record $415,200. The money goes to scholarships, programs, grants and emergency aid for students. The first Distinguished Alumni award went to the founder of Kizuki Ramen and Supreme Dumplings, and a single mother studying nursing spoke about how a Foundation scholarship helped her.

西雅图亚洲艺术博物馆展出近藤家三代陶艺
Seattle Asian Art Museum shows three generations of Kondō family ceramics
西雅图亚洲艺术博物馆正在办日本近藤家三代人的陶艺展,展名叫《近藤家:泥土里的说书人》。祖父近藤悠31977年被日本定为「人间国宝」,孙子近藤高弘是这一脉现在还在世的唯一一位,最近来过西雅图。展览一直办到2027年1月3号,博物馆在志愿者公园里,天冷了也是个逛半天的好去处。
The Seattle Asian Art Museum is showing three generations of the Japanese Kondō family's ceramics in an exhibition called The Kondō Family: Storytellers in Clay. The grandfather, Kondō Yūzō, was named a Living National Treasure in 1977, and his grandson Kondō Takahiro, the only living representative of the line, visited Seattle recently. The show runs until Jan. 3, 2027, at the museum in Volunteer Park — a good half-day out once the weather turns.

派克市场冬季只在周五到周日限车
Pike Place Market limits cars only Friday to Sunday this winter
派克市场的历史委员会上周一致通过了今冬的车辆安排:10月到明年3月,只在周五、周六、周日的中午11点到下午四点限制车辆进入。其余日子路面照常通车,只立牌子提醒司机让行人。市里今年做的调查里有98%的人支持继续拦车,所以这个改动挨了不少批评;带老人小孩去逛的,平日里要多留意路面来车。
The Pike Place Market Historical Commission voted unanimously last week on this winter's vehicle plan: from October through next March, cars will be restricted only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. On other days traffic runs as usual, with signs asking drivers to yield to pedestrians. A city survey this year found 98% support for keeping the barriers, so the change has drawn criticism; anyone visiting with elders or children should watch for cars on weekdays.

斯诺夸尔米(Snoqualmie)医院路口终于要装红绿灯
Snoqualmie hospital intersection is finally getting a stoplight
斯诺夸尔米(Snoqualmie)山谷医院的院区多年来只有一个公共出入口,救护车常被路口排队的车挡在外头,现在这个路口终于要装红绿灯了。市里8月24号批了夜间施工许可,预计9月第二周动工,周日到周四晚上九点到清晨五点施工,约31个晚上。新灯会和附近路口联动,医院那栋新楼2027年春天开门,里面有门诊药房和康复中心。
The Snoqualmie Valley Health campus has had only one public way in and out for years, and ambulances are sometimes stuck behind cars queued at that intersection; it is finally getting a stoplight. The city approved a night-work permit on Aug. 24, construction is expected to start in the second week of September, running Sunday to Thursday from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. for about 31 nights. The new signal will be timed with the nearby interchange, and the hospital's new building opens in spring 2027 with an outpatient pharmacy and a rehabilitation centre.

美国文化一则American Customs
美国的「裁员预告」——公司要裁人,得先报给州里,名单还公开
The American layoff notice: a company must report cuts to the state, and the list is public
美国有一条叫「工人调整与再培训预告」的法,公司裁到一定人数,要提前书面报给州里,员工也要提前知道。华州1年前把这条收紧了,报备的次数更密,所以《西雅图时报》才能一条一条地写出来。背后的想法是:丢工作是一件公共的事,不只是公司和员工两个人的事——提前知道,人才有时间找下家、算保险、想房贷。
The U.S. has a law called the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act: past a certain size, a company must file written notice of layoffs with the state, and workers must be told in advance. Washington tightened its version a year ago so filings come more often, which is why the Seattle Times can report them one by one. The idea behind it is that losing a job is a public matter, not just a private one between employer and employee — advance notice buys people time to look, to work out insurance, to plan the mortgage.
咱们那边讲究「好聚好散」,裁员多半是关起门来谈,谈妥了才通知别人。美国是反过来,先摆到明面上,再谈条件。两种做法都想护住人的体面,只是一个靠人情、一个靠白纸黑字。家里有人在公司上班的,知道有这么一张公开名单,心里就多一分底。
Back home the value is a clean parting: layoffs are settled behind closed doors and announced once agreed. The American way is the reverse — put it on the record first, then negotiate the terms. Both are trying to protect a person's dignity, one through relationships and one through black and white. Knowing that public list exists gives a family with someone in the workforce a little more footing.

今日一词Word of the Day
conscientious
做事认真、放在心上、肯负责的
Describes someone who is concerned with doing things correctly.
She is a conscientious nurse.
夸人的时候用。孙子的老师、家里的护工、修车的师傅,做事仔细又肯负责,就可以说这个词。写感谢卡、给人写推荐信都用得上,比只说「好」要重得多。
Use it as praise. A grandchild's teacher, a home caregiver, the mechanic — anyone careful and responsible about their work. It works in a thank-you card or a reference letter, and it carries far more weight than simply saying someone is 'good'.
