[经] 码头工人
The longshoremen's union and the port operators have been trying to negotiate a new labor agreement since May. 自5月以来,码头工人工会就一直在港口运营者进行谈判,试图达成一个新的劳工合同。
Add to this, all ages, all sorts of faces, small, pale young men, and bronzed longshoremen. 还得加上各种年龄和各种面貌的人,脸色苍白的青年,晒成了紫铜色的码头工。
Many people had tried over time (weightlifters, longshoremen, etc.) but nobody could do it. 许多人挑战了许多次(举重选手,码头装卸工 等)但都没人办到。
In other words, although my fellow longshoremen and I are getting paid for eight hours, on occasion we work only four. 换句话说,虽然我和工友们获得八小时的报酬,有时却只干四小时。
There is no power for winches. The longshoremen have to stand by until the power comes. 绞车没电了。码头工人不得不待时,直到来电。
