一篇比较难的文章,要手工翻译,30分!
Today about 70 countries use Daylight Saving Time (DST). Daylight Saving was first introduced during World War I in Australia. During the world wars, DST was used for the late summers beginning January 1917 and l942, the ful1 summers beginning September 1942 and 1943.
In 1967, Tasmania experienced a drought (干旱). The State Government introduced one hour of daylight saving that summer as a way of saving power and water. Tasmanians liked the idea of daylight saving and the Tasmanian Government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968. Persuaded by the Tasmanian Government, all states except two passed a Law in 1971, for a test use of daylight saving. In 1972, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmania for regular daylight saving, but Queensland did not do so until 1989.
Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia have had irregular plans, often changing their dates due to politics or festivals (节日). For example, in 1992, Tasmania extended (延长) daylight saving by an extra month while South Australia began extending daylight saving by two weeks for the Adelaide Festival. Special daylight saving plans were made during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
The differences in daylight saving in Australia continue to cause serious problems in transport and many other social activities. It also reduces the number of hours in the working day that are common to all centers in the country. In particular, time differences along the east coast cause major difficulties, especially for the broadcasters of national radio and television.
但愿没有更快的...Daylight Saving Time 暂且翻为白天节约照明光制度(或者白天资源节约制度) 下文都以DST代替
如今大约70个国家使用DST DST最先是在一战时的澳大利亚使用的 1917年到1942年间DST从每年的夏末一月开始实行 DST首次用于整个夏天始于1942年九月到1943年
1967年 塔斯马尼亚经历了一场干旱 那个夏天为了节约能源和水资源 澳洲政府推行了每天一小时的DST 这项举措受到了塔斯马尼亚政府的欢迎 他们决定从1968年开始每年都搞DST 到了1971年 除了两个州以外其他州都以试验的形式通过了这项法案作为试验 1972年 新南威尔士 南澳大利亚和维多利亚三个州也像塔斯马尼亚一样将DST作为固定法案 而昆士兰直到1989年才跟上他们的脚步
塔斯马尼亚 昆士兰和南澳的法案是随机应变的 常常因为政治原因或者节日而改变 比如1992年塔斯马尼亚就将DST的时间延长了一个月 同年南澳因为阿德莱德节延长了DST时间两个星期 2000年悉尼奥运会时使用了特别DST
澳大利亚各地DST的差异也对交通以及其他社会活动造成了一定麻烦 这也使得正常的工作时间减少了 特别对于澳洲东岸地区全国性的电台和电视频道造成了不小的麻烦
