翻译摘要:河南省”特大矿难免市长”的潜在风险
“特大矿难免市长”的潜在风险 2011年5月10日 09:31 选稿:陆霖霖 来源:东方网 作者:赵勇锋 河南省政府近日对2008年制定的《关于进一步加强煤矿安全生产工作的若干意见》提出《补充意见》,加大对煤矿安全事故处罚力度,明确规定:如果发生一次死亡人数在50人以上特别重大事故,或者一年内发生两起一次死亡30至49人特别重大事故的,给予省辖市市长、分管副市长免职处理。(5月9日《大河报》) 特大矿难直接免职省辖市市长,这恐怕堪称史上最严厉的煤矿安全事故问责机制了。仅此一条就足以看出,河南省政府对煤矿工人生命安全的高度负责,对煤矿安全生产的高度重视,以及对治理近年来煤矿事故频发的强大决心。 作为“铁腕治乱”,“特大矿难免职市长”无疑有着明显的积极作用。在当前“一把手效应”仍是不争事实的前提下,加大对主要领导的问责力度,势必能调动一切积极因素,最大可能地保障煤矿生产安全。我们完全可以乐观地预测:只要该《补充意见》严格实施,河南在煤矿安全方面将给外界一个崭新的形象,河南煤矿工人将竖起幸福的大拇指对政府说:中。 不过,这项严厉的处罚措施带给河南煤矿美好前景的同时,也存在不容忽视的潜在风险。 首先,它有可能对“矿难瞒报”现象推波助澜。我们虽然有一套相对完善的矿难上报制度,但由于监督机制不够健全,就在事实上造成来自于“上面”的瞒报行为往往处于无人监管的局面。联系到“上有政策下有对策”的老生常谈,不能不令人担心,将来会不会经常看到“49”这个数字,那将是矿工无法言说的噩梦。 其次,它有可能面临“非人性化”的指责,并且偏离“以人为本”的轨道。一方面,并非一切矿难都是责任事故,又并非一切事故都和市长有关,如果不具体问题具体分析,而是一刀切地让市长“背黑锅”,恐怕会误伤那些兢兢业业但运气不佳的好干部。另一方面,生命既不应该用金钱量化,也不应该用“官位”量化,49条生命和50条生命在本质上是一样珍贵的,如果确系责任事故,哪怕只有1人死亡,也必须严厉追究市长的责任,这才是真正的尊重生命。 再次,它有可能偏离法治精神,不利于制度创新。之所以出现矿难事故频发,在很大程度上是因为我们在“制度管人”方面存在一些缺陷,而《补充意见》只是加强了“人管人”的力度,并没有涉及多少制度方面的修补和完善。从这个意义上说,尽管它效率很高,但同时也会使以“一把手效应”为代表的人治现象愈演愈烈。 总之,在现阶段条件下,河南通过问责市长保障煤矿生产安全的举措无疑是正确的,也是进步的,但同时也要认真反省其中的潜在风险,努力应对不断创新,逐步实现从“人管人”到“制度管人”的转变,这才是根本的制胜之道。 According to a newly revised Henan province regulation, a Henan Province mayor will automatically be fired if a mining disaster that kills 50 or more miners … Continue reading

成都作者廖亦武给纽约国际文学节和拉什迪先生的答谢辞
给纽约国际文学节和拉什迪先生的答谢辞 拉什迪曾因为写作《撒旦的诗篇》,被伊朗的霍梅尼追杀,他的头值500万美元。 在1980年代,我还是个青年诗人,第一次知道他的名字,就被深深震撼。 能够得到如此勇敢的作家的第二次邀请,我感到极大荣耀,虽然我不能远赴重洋去纽约。虽然国家牢笼禁止了我,虽然我的朋友冉云飞、刘晓波和艾未未正在受难。 为我呼吁的纽约文学节的作家们,我们不能见面,但我们的心永远在一起。 2010年在挪威的某个会场,曾经有我的老朋友刘晓波先生的空椅子。 但愿我的写作,我对中国历史和现状的见证,能够配得上你们在开幕式上为我而设的那把空椅子。 谢谢你们。 中国作家:廖亦武 英文翻译: Letter of Thanks and Regrets to the New York Festival of International Literature and to Mr. Salman Rushdie Salman Rushdie because of his book The Satanic Verses was once targeted for … Continue reading
