由于疫情的影响,日本失业率上升,在日本的外国人日子都不怎么好过。请看本报昨日的报道: Eight years after arriving from Brazil, Rennan Yamashita sat in a government office in central Japan, filling out forms for unemployment insurance after losing his job for the ninth or 10th time — he has lost count. Some weeks earlier, he was laid off from his job at a car parts factory. He only held that job for four months. “If they need you, they hire you; if they don’t need you, they’ll fire you. It’s simple like that,” said Yamashita, 31. The coronavirus pandemic has hit Japan’s economy hard and many factories, including those of carmakers, are scaling back production. 报道中的lose count就是“数不清”的意思,通常是因为数量太大。例如: I have lost count of the people who have asked that question. 数不清的人都问过我那个问题。 |
