西班牙奇葩用餐时间都是时区惹的祸

二战结束后，这个记时方式也没有再改回来，但2016年，西班牙总理马里亚诺•拉霍伊宣布，政府正在计划实施一个新的工作日日程，其中包括将下班时间由下午8点改为6点。这份计划最重要的一点，就是估算有没有可能，将西班牙的时区由欧洲中部时间改回格林尼治时间，这在全国引发了激烈的讨论。

Being 60 minutes behind the correct time zone means the sun rises later and sets later, bestowing Spain with gloriously long summer evenings and 10pm sunsets. Those who run Spain’s tourist resorts believe that more sunlight is a large draw for visitors. The regional government of the Balearic Islands is strongly against returning to GMT and has even campaigned to maintain year-round summer time to allow visitors to take full advantage of the region’s mild winter climate.

落后正确的时区60分钟意味着，太阳升起和落下的时间会往后推迟，这使西班牙享受到夏日极长的夜晚，以及晚上10点的落日。西班牙旅游度假区的负责人认为，更长的日照时间对游客吸引力很大。巴利阿里群岛政府强烈反对重新改回格林尼治时间，甚至倡议全年都保持夏令时，以使得游客能够充分享受巴利阿里群岛冬日温和的气候。

But for many Spaniards, living in the wrong time zone has resulted in sleep deprivation and decreased productivity. The typical Spanish work day begins at 9am; after a two-hour lunch break between 2 and 4pm, employees return to work, ending their day around 8pm. The later working hours force Spaniards to save their social lives for the late hours. Prime-time television doesn’t start until 10:30pm.
