 伍芝麻 2015-11-06

今天给大家分享一篇BBC文章,我标注文章中能用到雅思口语和写作中的加分表达,并配了一些例句。大家好好学习一下!


Travelling to work 'is work'

Time spent travelling to and from(在去和回...的路上) appointments by workers without a fixed office should be regarded as working time(被看做是上班时间), the European Court of Justice has ruled.

(to and from ...: I listen to music on my way to and from work/school)

(be regarded as ...: Reading is regarded as one of the best ways to relax. )

The ruling is targeted towards(针对... ) people such as care workers, gas fitters and sales representatives.

(be targeted towards ...: The new Coca-cola advert is targeted towards children.)

This time has previously not been regarded as work.

The BBC's legal correspondent Clive Coleman said the decision could have a 'huge effect'(有很大的影响).

(have a huge effect on sth: Famous people have a huge effect on children and teenagers.)

'Thousands of employers could now find themselves in breach of working time regulations,' he added.

'Falling below minimum wage(最低工资标准)'

Chris Tutton, from the solicitors Irwin Mitchell, agreed the ruling would be 'very significant' and could have an impact(对...有影响) on pay.

'People may now be working an additional 10 hours a week(一周多工作十个小时) once you take into account(把...考虑在内) their travel time, and that may mean employers are falling below the national minimum wage level when you look at the hourly rate that staff are paid,' he said.

(take into account sth: If we take into account the number of people in this city, we don't have so many job opportunities.)

The court says its judgment is about protecting the 'health and safety' of workers as set out in the EU's working time directive.

The directive is designed to protect workers from exploitation(保护工人不被剥削) by employers, and it lays down regulations on matters such as how long employees work, how many breaks they have, and how much holiday they are entitled to.

'Bear the burden(承担责任)'

One of its main goals is to ensure that no employee in the EU is obliged to(不得不...) work more than an average of 48 hours a week.

(be obliged to ...: I always feel obliged to treat him to dinner.)

The court ruling said: 'The fact that the workers begin and finish the journeys at their homes stems directly from the decision of their employer to abolish the regional offices and not from the desire of the workers themselves.

'Requiring them to bear the burden of their employer's choice would be contrary to the objective of protecting the safety and health of workers pursued by the directive, which includes the necessity of guaranteeing workers a minimum rest period.'
