請看相關(guān)報(bào)道:
Jiang’s case quickly became a hot topic after it was posted on the Internet by his friend. He was sarcastically given the name "most capable civil servant" for his nine years of freeloading。
江(進(jìn)祥)的事件被朋友貼到網(wǎng)上之后,很快就成了一個(gè)熱門話題。他因?yàn)檫B續(xù)九年“吃空餉”而被評(píng)為“史上最牛公務(wù)員”。
上面報(bào)道中的freeloading就是指“吃空餉”,是指不上班但是照常領(lǐng)工資的行為。吃空餉是一種abuse of public resources(濫用公共資源)行為,其實(shí)質(zhì)是power abusiveness(權(quán)力失范)。對該事件,江回應(yīng)稱自己九年來不上班是因?yàn)橐恢痹趏n suspension(停職檢查)中,而龍巖市建設(shè)局局長則聲稱發(fā)工資是考慮到江的domestic difficulties(家庭困難)。
Freeload意為“吃白食,不勞而獲”,名詞freeloader則是“吃白食的人”,例如不裝寬帶,偷用別人無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)信號(hào)的wi-fi freeloader(蹭網(wǎng)族)。類似的說法還有free rider(免費(fèi)搭車者),指不付成本而坐享他人之利的人。
