西藏那曲(Nagqu)发生七级地震 至少16人遇难

Magnitude 7.0 earthquake in Tibet's Nagqu kills at least 16

据哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS)援引美联社报道,西藏那曲(Nagqu)当地时间10月22日晚上十点33分发生七级地震,相当于西雅图时间当天上午七点半左右。美国地质调查局说震中在那曲东北偏东约119英里,深约11英里。据官方媒体,至少16人遇难、54人受伤,至少339间房屋倒塌。这是当地5年来最强的一次地震,上千名救援人员已经到场。

CBS News, citing the AP, reports that a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Nagqu in Tibet at 10:33 p.m. local time on Oct. 22, about 7:30 that morning in Seattle. The US Geological Survey put the epicenter about 119 miles east-northeast of Nagqu and the depth at about 11 miles. State media said at least 16 people were killed, 54 injured and at least 339 homes collapsed. It was the region's strongest quake in five years, and more than 1,600 rescuers were deployed.

社区影响震区地广人稀、海拔高,救援先靠帐篷、板房和冬衣把受灾的人安顿下来。本地华人家庭若有亲友在西藏或附近省份,可先用微信报平安。西雅图地下也有西雅图断层,史上多次有感地震,家里备好水、手电和常用药,是同一个道理。
COMMUNITY IMPACTThe quake zone is remote and high, so relief starts with tents, prefab housing and winter clothing to shelter survivors. Local Chinese families with relatives in Tibet or nearby provinces can check in by WeChat. Seattle sits on the Seattle Fault and has felt many quakes, so keeping water, a flashlight and regular medicines at home follows the same logic.

名词解释Glossary magnitude:级(震级);epicenter:震中;aftershock:余震;US Geological Survey:美国地质调查局

唐人街国际区贩毒团伙头目被判10年

Leader of drug ring that supplied the Chinatown-International District gets ten years

据KIRO新闻台(MyNorthwest)报道,家住纽卡斯尔(Newcastle)的39岁男子汤米·范(Tommy Pham)10月21日在西雅图联邦地区法院被判10年监禁,出狱后再受5年监管。检方指他向唐人街国际区和5号州际公路桥下的露宿营地供应芬太尼、冰毒、海洛因和可卡因。2024年12月他被捕时身上带着上膛的枪;一个月后,执法部门在全案中查获17支枪,其中五支与他有关。

KIRO's MyNorthwest reports that Tommy Pham, 39, of Newcastle, was sentenced on Oct. 21 in federal court in Seattle to ten years in prison plus five years of supervised release. Prosecutors say he supplied fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine to the Chinatown-International District and to homeless encampments under I-5. He was arrested in December 2024 with a loaded gun; a month later, authorities seized 17 firearms in the case, five of them linked to him.

社区影响这宗案子由西雅图警察局、联邦调查局、缉毒局和国税局刑事调查部门自2023年11月起联手侦办,代理联邦检察官表示国际区是本办公室的重点。对常去中国城买菜、看病的长者而言,团伙头目入狱有助于街面安全,但毒品问题不会一夜消失,结伴出行、天黑前回家仍有必要。
COMMUNITY IMPACTSeattle police, the FBI, the DEA and IRS criminal investigators worked the case together starting in November 2023, and the acting U.S. attorney said the International District is a focus for his office. For seniors who shop and see doctors in Chinatown, a ring leader going to prison helps street safety, but the drug problem will not vanish overnight, so going with company and heading home before dark still makes sense.

名词解释Glossary fentanyl:芬太尼;supervised release:出狱后监管;federal district court:联邦地区法院

西雅图家族餐饮公司丢大合同 裁员83人

Seattle family caterer loses major contracts and lays off 83

据《西雅图时报》报道,1986年创办、如今由三兄妹经营的西雅图餐饮公司DSquared Hospitality裁员83人,超过员工总数四分之一,其中全职62人、兼职21人,12月20日离职。起因是总部设在贝尔维尤(Bellevue)的T-Mobile把员工食堂合同交给了全球餐饮巨头Aramark,西雅图交响乐团所在的贝纳罗亚音乐厅也改用Sodexo Live!。公司正与Aramark商量接收其中57人。

The Seattle Times reports that DSquared Hospitality, a Seattle caterer founded in 1986 and now run by three siblings, is laying off 83 people, more than a quarter of its staff: 62 full-time and 21 part-time, effective Dec. 20. Bellevue-based T-Mobile gave its employee cafeteria contract to the global food-service giant Aramark, and Benaroya Hall, home of the Seattle Symphony, switched to Sodexo Live!. The company is working with Aramark to have 57 of the workers hired.

社区影响报道指出,Compass、Aramark和Sodexo三家已占全美企业餐饮合同市场一半以上,Meta今年也把本地餐饮商换成了Sodexo。对在本地餐馆、食堂、送餐业打工的华人家庭而言,这类岗位正向大公司集中,被裁的人可先问接手的公司是否招人,年底前把简历备好。
COMMUNITY IMPACTThe report says Compass, Aramark and Sodexo hold more than half of the US contract catering market, and Meta also replaced a local caterer with Sodexo this year. For Chinese families working in local restaurants, cafeterias or food delivery, these jobs are concentrating in big companies; laid-off workers can first ask whether the incoming company is hiring and have a résumé ready before year end.

名词解释Glossary contract catering:企业餐饮承包;layoff:裁员

汉福德(Hanford)病倒工人索赔 联邦能源部屡屡上诉

Sick Hanford workers' claims: Energy Department keeps appealing

汉福德(Hanford)是华州中南部已经关闭的联邦核武器生产基地,几千名工人在那里清理放射性废料,华州2018年立法,规定在那儿工作得了某些癌症、神经和呼吸疾病,默认算工伤。据ProPublica和Cascade PBS10月22日的调查,2023年以来工人提出102宗新索赔,联邦能源部一宗也没建议批准,州里批了75%,能源部又对绝大多数提出上诉;报道还说,能源部为对抗州里的这类索赔,在外聘律师和专家上共花了将近1200万美元。家里有人在汉福德做过工的,可留意州劳工和工业部门的消息,索赔资料要保存好。

Hanford is a closed federal nuclear weapons site in south-central Washington where thousands of workers have cleaned up radioactive waste, and a 2018 state law presumes that certain cancers, neurological and respiratory diseases among them are work-related. A ProPublica and Cascade PBS investigation published Oct. 22 found that of 102 new claims since 2023, the Energy Department recommended approving none; the state approved 75%, and the department appealed most of those; the report adds that the department has spent nearly $12 million on outside lawyers and experts fighting state compensation claims. Families with someone who worked at Hanford can watch for news from the state Department of Labor and Industries and keep claim papers safe.

亚马逊员工起诉公司 称举报性侵后被要求噤声

Amazon employee sues, says she was told to stay quiet after reporting rape

华州有一条「不再沉默法」(Silenced No More Act),禁止雇主要求员工对职场性骚扰、性侵的事情闭口不谈。据《西雅图时报》10月21日报道,西雅图的亚马逊员工劳拉·丹伯姆(Laura Danbom)在金县高等法院起诉公司,称她2023年出差时遭一名高级经理性侵,向人力资源部门和纽约警方报案后,公司要她不在工作中谈论此事、继续与对方共事,违反了这条州法;亚马逊回应说公司对每宗举报都会彻查,对职场性侵零容忍。家里孩子在大公司上班的,可以让他们知道:在华州,公司不能用保住饭碗来要求员工对这类事情保持沉默。

Washington's Silenced No More Act bars employers from requiring workers to keep quiet about sexual misconduct at work. The Seattle Times reported on Oct. 21 that Seattle Amazon employee Laura Danbom has sued the company in King County Superior Court, saying a senior manager raped her on a 2023 work trip and that after she reported it to HR and New York police, Amazon told her not to discuss it at work and to keep working with him, in violation of the state law; Amazon says it investigates every report thoroughly and has zero tolerance for workplace sexual misconduct. Families with children at big employers can let them know that in Washington a company cannot make keeping a job depend on staying silent about this.

特勤局在西雅图清查盗刷食物券卡的读卡器

Secret Service sweeps Seattle for EBT card skimmers

食物券卡(EBT)是政府发放食物补助用的卡,盗刷的人会在商店刷卡机上偷装读卡器,把卡的信息复制走,再盗刷卡里的钱。据KIRO 7电视台10月22日报道,联邦特勤局(Secret Service)星期三在西雅图完成为期两天的行动,专门查找并拆除这类非法读卡器。用食物券卡的长者,刷卡前看看刷卡机是否松动或多出一层外壳,按密码时用手挡住,并常查余额,发现不对马上打卡背面的电话。

An EBT card is the card the government uses to pay food benefits, and thieves plant skimmers on store card readers to copy the card's data and then drain the benefits. KIRO 7 reported on Oct. 22 that the Secret Service finished a two-day operation in Seattle on Wednesday to find and remove illegal card skimmers. Seniors who use EBT can check whether a card reader is loose or has an extra layer before swiping, cover the keypad when entering a PIN, check the balance often, and call the number on the back of the card if anything looks wrong.

普亚勒普(Puyallup)轮椅男子卡在铁轨上 被货运火车撞死

Puyallup man's wheelchair stuck on tracks; he is killed by a freight train

普亚勒普(Puyallup)在塔科马东南边,城里有货运铁路穿过。据KING 5电视台报道,10月21日下午两点左右,一名59岁男子坐轮椅在北梅里迪安(North Meridian)201号附近过铁轨时轮椅卡住,两名路人上前帮忙没能拉开,他被BNSF的货运火车撞上,当场死亡。坐轮椅、推助行器或推婴儿车过铁轨的,只走有标志的道口,信号灯亮、栏杆放下时一定等着,BNSF也提醒平时离铁轨至少15英尺。

Puyallup lies southeast of Tacoma, and freight rail runs through town. KING 5 reports that around 2 p.m. on Oct. 21, a 59-year-old man in a wheelchair got stuck while crossing the tracks near 201 North Meridian; two people tried to help but could not free him, and he was struck and killed by a BNSF freight train. Anyone crossing tracks in a wheelchair or with a walker or stroller should use marked crossings only and wait when signals flash and gates are down; BNSF also advises staying at least 15 feet from the tracks.

年轻的失智症患者 华大有项目陪着走

UW program helps younger memory-loss patients so they are not alone

阿尔茨海默症是最常见的失智症,大约10个病人里有一个是较年轻时就确诊的。据KOMO电视台10月22日报道,华盛顿大学记忆与脑健康中心(UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center)为这类家庭开设多个项目,其中与西雅图公园局合办的SOAR,每月组织一次户外健行,让病人和家属一起走走、互相认识。家里有人刚确诊记忆力问题的,可以问医生有没有这类互助活动,照顾的人也需要有人陪。

Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia, and about one in ten patients is diagnosed at a younger age. KOMO reported on Oct. 22 that the UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center runs several programs for these families, including SOAR, a monthly outdoor walk with Seattle Parks and Recreation where patients and their families walk together and get to know each other. Families with someone newly diagnosed with memory problems can ask the doctor about support activities like this; caregivers need company too.

小西贡越南粉店Mi La Cay开了34年 下周四关门

Little Saigon noodle shop Mi La Cay closes next Thursday after 34 years

小西贡(Little Saigon)是西雅图唐人街国际区东边的越南人商圈,Mi La Cay是那里开了34年的汤粉老店,就在南杰克逊街(S Jackson St)和12大道南交口往北一个街口。据KING 5电视台10月22日报道,店主翁女士(Trinh Ong)和哥哥决定10月29日关门、不再营业,主要原因是年纪大了、身体不好,孩子也各有各的路;她2021年确诊白血病,还在康复。想再吃一碗的老街坊,要赶在下周四之前去,店面已经卖给一对夫妇,打算开新餐馆。

Little Saigon is the Vietnamese business district on the east side of Seattle's Chinatown-International District, and Mi La Cay is a 34-year-old noodle soup shop there, a block north of 12th Avenue South and South Jackson Street. KING 5 reported on Oct. 22 that owner Trinh Ong and her older brother will close on Oct. 29, mainly because of age, health and no family successor; she was diagnosed with leukemia in 2021 and is still recovering. Longtime customers who want one more bowl have until next Thursday; the space has been sold to a couple who plan a new restaurant.

埃弗雷特(Everett)再划两片禁坐禁躺区

Everett adds two zones banning sitting and lying in public spaces

埃弗雷特(Everett)在西雅图北边,市里有一项「服务设施缓冲区」做法,在划定的区域里不许坐、躺或睡在人行道等公共地方。据KOMO电视台10月22日报道,市里在北埃弗雷特新增两片缓冲区,一片在科尔比大道(Colby Ave)的Midnight Smoke and Grocery附近,一片在百老汇大道(Broadway Ave)的Safeway附近;在区内,旁人也不得向坐着、躺着的人递食物或物品。住在附近、想给露宿者送吃的的人,要先弄清楚缓冲区的界线在哪儿,以免在区内递送触犯规定。

Everett, north of Seattle, has a Service Facility Buffer Zone program that bans sitting, lying or sleeping on sidewalks and other public spaces inside marked areas. KOMO reported on Oct. 22 that the city added two zones in north Everett, one near Midnight Smoke and Grocery on Colby Ave. and one near the Safeway on Broadway Ave.; inside them, others may not hand food or goods to someone sitting or lying there. People nearby who want to give food to homeless neighbors should first learn where the zone boundaries are, so as not to break the rule by handing things over inside them.

哥伦比亚城(Columbia City)农夫市集下周三收摊 国际区长者的七路公交也有变数

Columbia City farmers market closes next Wednesday, and CID seniors' Route 7 bus faces change

每周三,唐人街国际区有五六十位长者坐七路公交去哥伦比亚城(Columbia City)农夫市集,因为那里试行用食物券卡(EBT)买菜,每月最多再返50美元。据《西北亚洲周报》10月22日报道,这个市集10月28日收摊过冬,常去的一家亚洲青菜摊将转到全年开市的西西雅图(West Seattle)农夫市集,莱克城(Lake City)市集也有同样的返钱;金县计划2032年用快线R线升级七路,社区团体担心长者日后找不到熟悉的车站。习惯去哥伦比亚城的长者,可以让家人帮忙查好去西西雅图或莱克城市集的公交路线。

Every Wednesday, 50 to 60 seniors from the Chinatown-International District ride Route 7 to the Columbia City Farmers Market, where a pilot gives back up to $50 a month to shoppers using EBT. Northwest Asian Weekly reported on Oct. 22 that the market closes for the season on Oct. 28; a popular Asian-greens vendor will move to the year-round West Seattle Farmers Market, and the Lake City market offers the same match. King County plans to upgrade Route 7 with the RapidRide R Line in 2032, and community groups worry seniors will lose stops they know. Seniors used to Columbia City can ask family to look up bus routes to the West Seattle or Lake City markets.

美国文化一则American Customs

太平洋西北地区的人常把下一场大地震叫作「大的那一个」(the Big One)。据Cascade PBS10月22日的节目,1700年华州外海发生过一次大地震并引发海啸,大约公元900年西雅图断层也发生过一次大震,1949、1965和2001年西雅图都有过明显的地震。

People in the Pacific Northwest often call the next great earthquake 'the Big One.' According to a Cascade PBS program on Oct. 22, a great quake off the Washington coast in 1700 set off a tsunami, the Seattle Fault produced a large quake around the year 900, and Seattle felt significant quakes in 1949, 1965 and 2001.

美国人对地震的态度是「不知道哪天来,但一定会来」,所以不靠预测,靠各家自己提前准备:家里备水、备手电、备药,跟家人约好震后在哪儿碰头、找谁报平安。

The American attitude to earthquakes is that no one knows when, but it will come, so the approach is not prediction but each household preparing ahead: water, a flashlight and medicines at home, plus an agreed place to meet and a person to check in with after a quake.

中国人讲「未雨绸缪」「有备无患」,跟这里的想法是一回事。不同的是,美国把这件事交给每个家庭自己张罗。和孙辈一起把应急的东西归置到一个包里,既是准备,也是一家人说说话的机会。

The Chinese sayings about mending the roof before it rains and being prepared so there is nothing to fear say the same thing. The difference is that in America this is left to each household. Packing an emergency bag together with the grandchildren is preparation and a chance for the family to talk.

今日一词Word of the Day

aftershock

余震;大地震之后接着来的较小的地震

a smaller earthquake that follows a large one

After the earthquake, there may be aftershocks.

看新闻听到 aftershock,就是说大震之后还会有余震,要离开危房、别急着回屋。

When the news mentions aftershocks, it means smaller quakes may follow, so stay out of damaged buildings and do not rush back inside.
