下面是加拿大“金融时报”刚刚发表的疫情期间失业情况报道。在加拿大第一次报道了分种族的失业率,表示黑人、南亚人、阿拉伯人失业情况最严重。
这报道我在加拿大中文网先看见,里头特别说华裔失业率升幅高于黑人云云。然后我自己谷歌了这个英文原文报告,里头丝毫没有提及华裔。当然,中文网不是翻译,而是“编译”。但是为什么要这样编译?翻译不好吗?

At the peak of the pandemic-induced economic shutdown, 5.5 million eligible workers were without jobs. That number is now 2.3 million, 58 per cent lower than in April.

For the first time, Statistics Canada collected data on unemployment according to race. The data showed that Black Canadians, South Asians and Arabs were disproportionately affected by the impact of the

For example, the jobless rate among South Asians stood at 17.8 per cent in July with women charting a significantly higher unemployment rate than men (20.4 per cent compared to 15.4 per cent). The unemployment rate among Black Canadians was 16.8 per cent, with the same gender trend playing out: more Black women were out of work than Black men.

Employment increased in most provinces in July, but the gains in Ontario and Quebec were almost all in part-time work.

The Labour Force Survey data also showed healthy gains in employment in the accommodation and food services sector, although it was still just 74.9 per cent of February levels.
