Wage Issues of Factory Workers in Myanmar
zài在miǎn diān缅甸yǎng guāng仰光de的yī jiā一家xié鞋chǎng厂 ，hěn很duō多nián qīng年轻nǚ gōng女工wèi le为了gèng更gāo高de的gōng zī工资jǔ xíng举行le了bà gōng罢工 。
At a shoe factory in Yangon, Myanmar, many young female workers went on strike for higher wages.
tā men她们xī wàng希望měi tiān每天néng能ná dào拿到 12,000miǎn yuán缅元 ，dàn但zuì hòu最后gōng zī工资zhǐ只zēng jiā增加le了yì diǎn一点 ，qí tā其他de的qián钱shì是gè zhǒng各种bǔ tiē补贴 。
They hoped to earn 12,000 kyats per day, but in the end, their wages only increased a little, and the rest was various allowances.
suī rán虽然tā men她们dé dào得到le了xiǎng yào想要de的gōng zī工资 ，dàn但shēng huó生活hái shì还是hěn很kùn nán困难 。
Although they got the wages they wanted, life is still difficult.
bǐ rú比如 ，yī一bēi杯kā fēi咖啡yào要 8,000miǎn yuán缅元 ，yī一gōng jīn公斤zhū ròu猪肉yào要 35,000miǎn yuán缅元 ，gōng rén工人men们hěn很nán难mǎi买dào到zhè xiē这些dōng xī东西 。
For example, a cup of coffee costs 8,000 kyats, and one kilogram of pork costs 35,000 kyats, making it hard for workers to afford these items.
yǒu xiē有些nǚ hái女孩měi tiān每天gōng zuò工作 12xiǎo shí小时 ，yí gè一个yuè月zhǐ néng只能zhuàn赚dào到dà yuē大约 300,000miǎn yuán缅元 。
Some girls work 12 hours a day and can only earn about 300,000 kyats a month.
tā men她们hái还yào要shěng qián省钱jì寄huí jiā回家 。
They also have to save money to send back home.
miǎn diān缅甸de的wù jià物价yuè lái yuè越来越gāo高 ，qián钱yuè lái yuè越来越bù zhí qián不值钱 ，gōng rén工人men们de的shēng huó生活hěn很xīn kǔ辛苦 。
Prices in Myanmar are rising, and money is becoming less valuable, making life hard for workers.
gōng chǎng工厂lǎo bǎn老板cháng cháng常常bù不yuàn yì愿意tí gāo提高jī běn基本gōng zī工资 ，zhǐ shì只是zēng jiā增加yī xiē一些bǔ tiē补贴 ，zhè yàng这样duì对gōng rén工人bù不gōng píng公平 。
Factory owners often refuse to raise the basic wage and only add some allowances, which is unfair to the workers.
qí shí其实 ，gōng rén工人men们měi tiān每天zuò做hěn很duō多xié鞋 ，dàn但tā men她们de的gōng zī工资hěn很dī低 。
In fact, workers make many shoes every day, but their wages are very low.
dà jiā大家dōu都xī wàng希望gōng rén工人néng能yǒu有gèng更hǎo好de的shēng huó生活hé和gōng píng公平de的gōng zī工资 。
Everyone hopes that workers can have a better life and fair wages.
