In an official public forecast discussion, the Anchorage National Weather Service office – whose employees are working without knowledge of when they will be paid during the ongoing Federal shutdown - encoded this secret message: “Please pay us.”
在一次官方的公共天气预报讨论中,正在因为政府关闭而无偿工作的安克雷奇国家气象局工作人员发布了一串被编码的信息,要求政府“请发工资”。
The first letter in each of the first 11 lines in the forecast discussion spells out the message, as shown above.
如上图所示,将11行字的首字母连起来便能看到隐藏的信息:“Please pay us(请发工资).”
It appears the office published an alternative version of the discussion, without the stealth plea, simultaneously (5 a.m. Alaska daylight time).
除了这条被编码的信息之外,工作人员们还在同一时间发布了另一条不含有“发工资”请求的信息。(发布时间:阿拉斯加时间凌晨5点)
As of 5 p.m. EDT, two versions of the forecast discussion, with and without the hidden message were viewable on the National Weather Service Web site.
美东时间下午5点,两个版本的信息在国家旅游局的官网上都能看到。
To support its mission of protecting life and property and to continue issuing forecasts and warnings, the National Weather Service excepted approximately 3,935 employees from the shutdown.
为保证其保护生命和财产的目的以及继续发布天气预报、预警信息,国家气象局目前有3935名雇员仍在工作岗位上。
“There’s no money to pay them,” Dan Sobien, president of the National Weather Service Employees Organization, told Popular Science. “Nobody knows when anyone’s going to get paid.”
“没有钱发工资给他们。” 国家气象局员工组织主席 Dan Sobien 说,“没有人知道什么时候能拿到工资。”
