烏茲別克斯坦給老師發小雞做工資！

Public sector workers in Uzbekistan received part of their wages in Serbian chickens and might be getting Ukrainian cAlves soon, Radio Liberty said on Wednesday.
Liberty Radio週三報道，烏茲別克斯坦事業單位員工月薪的一部分居然是塞爾維亞小雞，很快他們的工資裏可能還會出現小牛。

Although the authorities said it was a voluntary action, one of the teachers in the Bukhara region in central Uzbekistan, said the chickens had been forced on them.
隨讓烏茲別克斯坦當局稱這是自願的，但是烏茲別克斯坦布哈拉地區的一位老師說，他們是被迫接受小雞做工資這種形式的。

“We were forced to take ten chickens each,” he said. “One Serbian chicken is valued at 5.5 soms ($3 at the official rate)… Local chickens are cheaper but we were left no choice.”
“我們是被逼着每人拿10只小雞做工資的，”他說。“一隻塞爾維亞小雞算5.5索姆...本地雞會更便宜一些，但是我們沒得選。”

The report said budget sector workers in the area received 20,000 chickens and another 40,000 would be handed out in the next few months.
報道說當地部門給員工發了2萬隻雞，另外4萬隻將會在接下來幾個月做工資發掉。

Experts said the Uzbek government is looking to cut budget spending in the current deficit conditions.
報道稱烏茲別克斯坦政府正在想盡辦法控制現在的財政赤字狀況。
