今天这博文，是第四年第365天的一篇，明天起进入第五年。

节选翻译这文，是因为阅读时发现日本人到紧急关头，汽车也乱按喇叭了。而且核电站如此重要机构也大量用临时工。用高薪把危险工作给权益小的临时工做。   邹蓝     

日本核电抢险临时工

Japanese Workers Braved Radiation for a Temp Job

HIROKO TABUCHI

福岛第一核电站的地面开始曲折波动，Masayuki Ishizawa连站都站不稳了，手持头盔他跑向第三号反应堆旁边的工人整备室，他和工友正在那里做维修工作。他看到烟筒和起重机如同芦苇一样在摇摆。他回忆说，人人都在惊叫。

55岁的Ishizawa跑向核电站的正门。不过安检员不让他出去。门口已经列了一长队的汽车，有些开车人在不耐烦地按喇叭。他回忆说，那个安检员说“你的证件呢？”，固执地要求他按照正常的程序来走离开核电站的步骤。他还问，“你的主管呢？”

Mr. Ishizawa, 55, raced to the plant’s central gate. But a security guard would not let him out of the complex. A long line of cars had formed at the gate, and some drivers were blaring their horns. “Show me your IDs,” Mr. Ishizawa remembered the guard saying, insisting that he follow the correct sign-out procedure. And where, the guard demanded, were his supervisors?

Ishizawa先生咆哮着反问，“你说什么？”他向后看去，天际已经出现一线黑影。他再次大声嚷嚷，“你不知道海啸要到了吗？”

“What are you saying?” Mr. Ishizawa said he shouted at the guard. He looked over his shoulder and saw a dark shadow on the horizon, out at sea, he said. He shouted again: “Don’t you know a tsunami is coming?”

Ishizawa先生最后还是被获准离开。他不是核电站专家，他甚至不是这个电站的业主东电的员工。他是日本成千上万个没有任何培训，流动的临时工，他们负责处理这里以及其他国家核电站内的主要的危险性工作，仅仅是因为辐射而工资高的缘故被招募而来。根据日本核能与工业安全机构的数据，总体上这些合同工的工作环境辐射比东电员工正常的情况超标16倍。这些工人对于福岛核电站的危机处理至关重要。

他们是日本二元用工体制的象征。

Mr. Ishizawa, who was finally allowed to leave, is not a nuclear specialist; he is not even an employee of the Tokyo Electric Power Company, the operator of the crippled plant. He is one of thousands of untrained, itinerant, temporary laborers who handle the bulk of the dangerous work at nuclear power plants here and in other countries, lured by the higher wages offered for working with radiation. Collectively, these contractors were exposed to levels of radiation about 16 times as high as the levels faced by Tokyo Electric employees last year, according to Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, which regulates the industry. These workers remain vital to efforts to contain the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima nuclear plants.

They are emblematic of Japan’s two-tiered work force

读了国际先驱论坛报这报道，发现日本人遇到如此紧迫情况，开车也不是不乱按喇叭的。中国的核电站，因为安全和政审程序，估计不敢用如此临时工吧？最多有外包的清洁工。
