一周只上4天班？這個國家上熱搜了，打工人你酸了嗎？

Spain could become one of the first countries in the world to trial the four-day working week after the government agreed to launch a modest pilot project for companies interested in the idea.

在西班牙政府同意為一些有興趣縮短工作日的公司推出新型試點計劃后，西班牙可能成為世界上首批試行一周工作4天的國家。

Earlier this year, the small leftwing Spanish party Más País announced that the government had accepted its proposal to test out the idea. Talks have since been held, with the next meeting expected to take place in the coming weeks.

今年年初，西班牙左翼黨派宣布，政府已經(jīng)接受了這一提議，并開始準(zhǔn)備推出該計劃。此后政府針對該提議舉行了會談，預(yù)計下一次會議將在未來幾周舉行。

"With the four-day work week (32 hours), we're launching into the real debate of our times,"said Iñigo Errejón of Más País on Twitter."It's an idea whose time has come."

“每周工作四天(32小時)，我們正在推行新時代的工作日計劃”左翼黨派的伊尼戈·埃雷洪(Iñigo Errejón)在推特上說：“減少工作日的時機已經(jīng)到來。”

From New Zealand to Germany, the idea has been steadily gaining ground globally. Hailed by its proponents as a means to increase productivity, improve the mental health of workers and fight climate change, the proposal has taken on new significance as the pandemic sharpens issues around wellbeing, burnout and work-life balance.

從新西蘭到德國，全球開始逐漸展開這一理念。支持者們認(rèn)為該提議可以提高生產(chǎn)力、改善工人心理健康問題，并改善氣候變化帶來的影響。隨著冠狀病毒流行病加劇了人們健康、倦怠感以及工作與生活平衡的問題，該提案具有重要的意義。

Leftwing parties in Spain-where a 44-day strike in Barcelona in 1919 resulted in the country becoming one of the first in western Europe to adopt the eight-hour workday-have seized on the idea. "Spain is one of the countries where workers put in more hours than the European average. But we're not among the most productive countries,"said Errejón. "I maintain that working more hours does not mean working better."

1919年，西班牙巴塞羅那舉行了為期44天的罷工，此后西班牙成為西歐最早采用8小時工作制的國家之一。西班牙左翼政黨提出該提議。埃雷洪(Errejón)說：“盡管西班牙工人的工作時間高于歐洲平均水平，但它也不是生產(chǎn)力最高的國家”，“我一直覺得工作更長時間并不意味著工作效率會越高。”

While the exact details of the pilot will be hashed out with the government, his party has proposed a three-year, €50m project that would allow companies to trialreduced hours with minimal risk. The costs of a company's foray into the four-day work week,for example,could be covered at 100% the first year,50% the second year and 33% the third year.

政府將會進一步協(xié)商相關(guān)的具體細(xì)節(jié)，并提出了一個為期三年、耗資5000萬歐元的項目，該項目致力于讓企業(yè)以最小的風(fēng)險進行試驗。比如，一家公司試行一周工作四天的成本，第一年可以覆蓋100%，第二年覆蓋50%，第三年覆蓋33%。
