New York City Mayor Eric Adams was seen picking up litter in a subway car in Manhattan, according to footage shared on Monday, Oct 31.
“We’re cleaning up this town. New Yorkers turn complaints into action,” Adams wrote in a caption accompanying the video.
“没人帮忙，因为这是摆拍”
“讲真的这是你制造的最滑稽的拍照机会”
“我从来没见过哪个车厢有这么多垃圾。我向你保证，有些实际的问题和担忧需要你的帮助，而不是这些噱头”。
“制造拍照机会，转移（公众）对于纽约市灾难性的状态的注意力。没人会买账的。”
事实上，亚当斯一直都在呼吁营造干净的城市环境，还在上个月公开了关于完善垃圾清理过程的计划，但这则视频很快遭到美国网民的群嘲，不少人批评这位市长摆拍作秀。还有人直言“先管管犯罪吧”。
清理罪犯吧！
...crime in the city’s subway system is up more than 41% with 1,813 incidents happening so far this year, up from 1,282 during the same time period last year, according to New York Police Department statistics.
垃圾堆积带来的纽约鼠患，也是纽约市长亚当斯必须处理的难题。
“We’re going to kill rats. Rats have no place in this city,” Adams told reporters, adding that trash lingering on sidewalks for hours on end is one of “many rivers that are feeding the sea of rodents in our city.”
亚当斯告诉记者：“我们会把这座城市的老鼠彻底赶尽杀绝”。当谈到街道上成堆的垃圾时，他还说：“这为老鼠的泛滥提供了温室。”
Mayor Adams rolled out a new set of garbage collection rules Monday that he vowed will deliver death to New York City’s rat population — but local building superintendents argued the effort is a weak response to the city’s ballooning rodent crisis.
亚当斯在周一出台了一系列垃圾回收新举措，希望能够整治泛滥的鼠灾。但纽约市的建筑维护人员表示，这并不足以应对这场危机。
由于纽约市实行居家办公政策等原因，街道的卫生状况每况愈下。据当地卫生部门统计，在2022年前三季度已经收到了21600起关于鼠灾问题的投诉，相比2020年同比上涨了71%。
With New Yorkers producing more trash due to work-from-home policies and other practices, reports of garbage mountains lining the streets have exploded, and the Sanitation Department logged 21,600 rat complaints in the first nine months of this year, a tally about 71% higher than the count reported at the same point in 2020.
