And this is what's done to the workers. They have no unions, no safety equipment, no training. About 50 are said to die in accidents each year; often in explosions set off by blowtorches deep inside the fume-filled holds.
You see casualties in the yards, men who were injured here but have no money to go anywhere else. The workers are housed in barracks with no beds, just steel plates scavenged from the ships they break. Many of the workers are not old enough to grow a beard. Some are, quite simply, children. We spoke to several who said they were 14 and had been working here for two years. Correspondent: "So, you started working here since you were 12?"
So what does the man from Peace, Happiness and Prosperity say about that? Correspondent: "Are there any children workers in your yard?" Mohsin: "Not my yard." Correspondent: "Well, we talked to several children." Mohsin: "Have you find [found] any in my yard?" Correspondent: "We found a couple who were 14 and said they'd been working there for
a couple of years." Mohsin:"Ok. If they don't work, what they'll do, then? Their food, shelter and clothing has
to be provided by someone, either their parents or the government. None of them
can afford it. So what are they g0nna do?" Correspondent: "So, you say that child labor is inevitable, necessary in Bangladesh?" Mohsin: "If they don't work in ship-breaking yard, they'll work somewhere else' They
have to."
But child labor is only one of the issues. Environmentalists have been doing battle with the industry for years. They say the West has no business dumping its toxic waste on impoverished lands in the East. They condemn the appalling work conditions here, the low pay, the lack of accountability for workers who get killed or injured. Their most important proposal: that ships get cleansed of their toxic materials in the West, before they sail to Bangladesh. That's in line with an international ban which prohibits the shipment of hazardous waste
…… 我国英语专业本科教学与学科建设,伴随着我国改革开放的步伐,得到了长足的发展和提升。回顾这30多年英语专业教学改革和发展的历程,无论是英语专业教学大纲的制订、颁布、实施和修订,还是四、八级考试的开发与推行,以及多项英语教学改革项目的开拓,无不是围绕英语专业的学科建设和人才培养而进行的,正如《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》提出的英语专业的培养目标,即培养“具有扎实的英语语言基础和广博的文化知识并能熟练地运用英语在外事、教育、经贸、文化、科技、军事等部门从事翻译、教学、管理、研究等工作的复合型英语人才。”为促进英语专业本科建设的发展和教学质量的提高,外语专业教学指导委员会还实施了“新世纪教育质量改革工程”,包括推行“十五”、“十一五”**级教材规划和外语专业**精品课程评审,从各个教学环节加强对外语教学质量的宏观监控,从而确保为我国的经济建设输送大量的**人才。
