乌兹别克斯坦给老师发小鸡做工资！

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周三报道，乌兹别克斯坦事业单位员工月薪的一部分居然是塞尔维亚小鸡，很快他们的工资里可能还会出现小牛。

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.

随让乌兹别克斯坦当局称这是自愿的，但是乌兹别克斯坦布哈拉地区的一位老师说，他们是被迫接受小鸡做工资这种形式的。

“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.”

“我们是被逼着每人拿10只小鸡做工资的，”他说。“一只塞尔维亚小鸡算5.5索姆...本地鸡会更便宜一些，但是我们没得选。”

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.

报道说当地部门给员工发了2万只鸡，另外4万只将会在接下来几个月做工资发掉。

Experts said the Uzbek government is looking to cut budget spending in the current deficit conditions.

报道称乌兹别克斯坦政府正在想尽办法控制现在的财政赤字状况。
