每周一词第119高铁霸座 

Word of the Week---Seat Robber

【词义解释】

   霸座在英语里到底怎么说?

   坐霸新闻报道里通常被称为seat robber,但最直白的表达就是A takes/occupies B's seat and refuses to leave也有英文媒体用A steals B's seat来表示。

最新的条例规定,高铁乘客均需对号入座,对于霸座行为,铁路工作人员和乘警有权进行罚款处罚。

A new regulation says all high-speed train passengers will be required to take their seats according to their seat numbers, and railway staff and train police will have the right to fine and punish those who refuse to vacate other people's seats.

  条例明确规定,无有效车票、车票所记载身份信息与本人真实身份信息不符的(passengers with invalid tickets or whose tickets do not match their identities),铁路运输企业有权拒绝其进站乘车。旅客应当按照车票载明的座位乘车,不得强占他人座位(take other's seat)。

  条例还规定,铁路运输企业应当按照规定建立健全铁路旅客信用信息管理制度(credit information management system),对扰乱铁路站车运输秩序且危及铁路安全、造成严重社会不良影响,以及严重违反铁路运输企业安全管理规章制度的失信行为进行记录(keep a record of behaviors that may disturb railway transportation order and safety, have negative impact and seriously violate railway safety rules and regulations),并按照规定推送全国和地方信用信息共享平台(publish on national and regional credit information sharing platform)。有关部门和铁路运输企业应当依法对失信行为实施联合惩戒。
