 大意
US delegations explained the issue on racial discrimination in work area.


 听写
Vice Chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Leslie Silverman said the goal for of her agency was to eliminate discrimination in the work place. She said the US has made substantial progress over the years. “At the year sayEEOC we do believe that racial discrimination still occurs far too often in the employment context. And we also believe that stereo types and uncontras unconscious bias contribute to this problem. That’s why this past year we decided to take a new approach to combating race discrimination, which we call ERACE, and it stands for eradicating racism and colorism from employments.” Advocacy director of the American Civil Libertiesy’s Union Jamil Dakwar was not impressed. He said the delegation presented existing laws, Supreme Court cases and other policies to justify their actions, but did not really address the questions and concerns of the Committee. A coalition of 215 250 US-based human rights organizations accuses the United States of persistent in and systematic racial discrimination. The Committee based many of its questions on a 600-page report the coalition presented to it. The Committee will present its final observations and conclusions in 2 weeks.

平等工作机会委员会的副主席LS说该机构的目标就是消除就业中的歧视。她说美国这几年已经做出了实质性的进展。“我们EEOC相信种族歧视仍经常在就业时发生。我们还相信旧体制和无意识的偏见使问题更加严重。所以去年我们决定采取新措施反对种族歧视。我们把这个项目成为ERACE，它代表在就业时消除种族主义和肤色主义。”美国人权自由联合会的负责人J不认可她的说法。他说代表们只列举了现存法律，最高法院的案件和其他政策来证明自己的行动，而没有真正解决委员会的问题和担忧。由250个美国人权组织组成的联盟指责美国持续的系统性种族歧视。委员会的问题是基于一份600页的联盟发布的报告。该委员会将在两周内发布他们最终的调查和总结报告。


 总结
有的地方就是怎么听也听不出来……
