外交部說，隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)從Covid-19復(fù)蘇，我們不應(yīng)該再回到“舊的、糟糕的做事方式”。

Employers should look into “embracing” a four-day working week as part of changes to the economy as the country eases out of lockdown, Nicola Sturgeon has said.

尼古拉·斯特金表示，雇主們應(yīng)該考慮“接受”每周四天工作制，這是國家擺脫封鎖后經(jīng)濟(jì)變化的一部分。

The First Minister was responding to a question from Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard in the Scottish Parliament on how the economy could look after the coronavirus crisis.

首席部長在蘇格蘭議會(huì)回答了蘇格蘭工黨領(lǐng)袖理查德·倫納德提出的一個(gè)問題，即經(jīng)濟(jì)如何應(yīng)對(duì)冠狀病毒危機(jī)。

He called for “a new industrial strategy, a new plan for the economy and a new plan for jobs” to deal with rising unemployment.

他呼吁制定“新的產(chǎn)業(yè)戰(zhàn)略、新的經(jīng)濟(jì)計(jì)劃和新的就業(yè)計(jì)劃”，以應(yīng)對(duì)不斷上升的失業(yè)率。

斯特金說，隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)的復(fù)蘇，不要陷入“舊的、糟糕的做事方式”，這一點(diǎn)很重要。她補(bǔ)充說，在一段時(shí)間內(nèi)，家長們將在照顧孩子的問題上“很難取得平衡”。

She added: “That is one reason, not the only reason, why we need to look at different working patterns.

她補(bǔ)充道:“這是我們需要研究不同工作模式的一個(gè)原因，而不是唯一的原因。”

“Things like a four-day week are no longer things that we should just be talking about, these are things we should be encouraging employers to look at embracing, and there are a whole range of things that fall into that category.”
