REDCAR, England — This small town on the NorthSea, famous for a century-old mill that produced the steel for some of the world’s most iconicbridges, has been shattered by the news that the plant is about to shut forever, taking 2,200jobs with it.
英国雷德卡——这座北海边的小城,以一家为世界上的一些标志性桥梁生产钢材的百年老厂而闻名。然而,这家工厂即将永久关闭并随之丧失2200个工作岗位。消息令全城震惊不已。
The upheavals of postindustrial Britain were on display one recent evening at O’Grady’s, a localpub, as steelworkers shared their sorrow just a few feet away from a businessman who sellscheap Chinese steel to the British government, something many in Redcar complain about.
后工业化时代英国的这次振荡最近一个晚上在当地酒吧O’Grady’s展现得淋漓尽致。钢铁工人分享他们的悲伤,而咫尺之外就是一名向英国政府销售中国廉价钢材的商人——许多雷德卡人对此颇有抱怨。
“Everyone’s going crackers, said Conrad McCormick, 38, a married father of two who lost hisjob at the mill, which made steel for the Sydney Harbor Bridge in Australia, the Victoria FallsBridge in Zambia and 1 World Trade Center in New York.
“所有人都要疯了,38岁的康拉德·麦考密克(Conrad McCormick)说道。他是一位有两个孩子的已婚父亲,丢了工厂的工作。他原来工作的地方为澳大利亚悉尼海港大桥、赞比亚维多利亚瀑布大桥和纽约世界贸易中心一号楼生产过钢材。
