法航女性機(jī)組人員拒戴頭巾

France’s national airline will allow female staff to volunteer for a new route to Iran rather than require them.

法國(guó)航空公司將不強(qiáng)迫機(jī)組人員飛行德黑蘭航線，讓服務(wù)此航線的女性機(jī)組人員自愿決定。

Air France announced that female flight attendants must wear a headscarf, also known as hijab, on arrival in Iran.

法國(guó)航空公司要求在飛往伊朗的航班上的女性機(jī)組人員必須用頭巾遮住頭發(fā)，即佩戴希賈布。

Some flight attendants objected.

一些機(jī)組人員對(duì)佩戴頭巾的要求表示反對(duì)。

The union representing crew members said they worried that females would face discipline if they refused to work the flight.

代表機(jī)組人員的工會(huì)表示，他們擔(dān)心女性機(jī)組人員若拒飛會(huì)受到懲罰。

The airline now says female participation on the route to Iran will be on a volunteer basis.

目前法航表示女性機(jī)組人員可自愿決定是否服務(wù)飛往伊朗的航線。

The airline begins three flights a week between Paris and Tehran on April 17.

法航預(yù)計(jì)從4月17日起，每周開(kāi)設(shè)三班從巴黎飛往德黑蘭的航班。

The headscarf issue puts the two cultures in conflict. Women in Iran have been required to wear hijab since a revolution in 1979. In France, religious headscarves are not allowed in some schools and offices. It is also against the law to wear the full-faced veil in public in France.

此次頭巾風(fēng)波表現(xiàn)了兩種文化的相互碰撞。自1979年革命以來(lái)，伊朗就要求女性必須佩戴希賈布。而在法國(guó)，一些學(xué)校和機(jī)構(gòu)不允許女性帶宗教性質(zhì)的頭巾。在法國(guó)，戴遮住整張臉的面紗也是違法的。
