(单词翻译:单击)

  Jiang's case quickly became a hot topic after it was posted on the Internet by his friend. He was sarcastically given the name "most capable civil servant" for his nine years of freeloading.
  江(进祥)的事件被朋友贴到网上之后,很快就成了一个热门话题。他因为连续九年“吃空饷”而被评为“史上最牛公务员”。
  上面报道中的freeloading就是指“吃空饷”,是指不上班但是照常领工资的行为。吃空饷是一种abuse of public resources(滥用公共资源)行为,其实质是power abusiveness(权力失范)。对该事件,江回应称自己九年来不上班是因为一直在on suspension(停职检查)中,而龙岩市建设局局长则声称发工资是考虑到江的domestic difficulties(家庭困难)。
  Freeload意为“吃白食,不劳而获”,名词freeloader则是“吃白食的人”,例如不装宽带,偷用别人无线网络信号的wi-fi freeloader(蹭网族)。类似的说法还有free rider(免费搭车者),指不付成本而坐享他人之利的人。
