員工為抗議扒手而罷工 艾菲爾鐵塔因而關閉

Eiffel Tower shut as staff walk out over pickpockets
　　Paris’s iconic Eiffel Tower was shut to tourists on Friday as staff walked off the job to protest a surge in gangs of pickpockets roaming around the monument.
　　巴黎標誌性的艾菲爾鐵塔周五對遊客關閉，因工作人員為抗議流竄在這個景點周邊的扒手集團暴增而罷工。
　　The closure of one of the busiest tourist attractions in the French capital ahead of a long holiday weekend recalls a similar strike at the Louvre museum in 2013 as staff protested against the often violent pickpockets stalking the halls of the palace.
　　法國首都這個數一數二熱鬧的景點，在長周末前關閉，讓人想起2013年羅浮宮員工也為抗議常暴力相向的扒手在羅浮宮大廳伺機而動，而發動類似罷工。
　　Workers at the 126-year-old iron lattice tower -- a glittering symbol of Paris -- said in a statement they had chosen to down tools due to an "increase in pickpockets around the Eiffel Tower and several threats and assaults."
　　在這座126年曆史鐵塔、巴黎輝煌標誌上班的工作人員發表聲明說，選擇罷工，是因為艾菲爾鐵塔周邊「扒手增多，發生多起威脅與攻擊事件」。
