瑞士國(guó)籍是出了名的難拿，要想通過入籍考試，外國(guó)公民得知道如何回收廢油？比起大超市，更應(yīng)該去當(dāng)?shù)亟纸切〉?？還得對(duì)瑞士土著玩兒的傳統(tǒng)運(yùn)動(dòng)了如指掌？近日，一位在瑞士長(zhǎng)大的土耳其裔年輕女性入籍申請(qǐng)?jiān)饩芤l(fā)爭(zhēng)議，瑞士入籍程序被批“武斷”。

Should foreign residents have to know how to recycle waste oil before they can apply for citizenship? Are people who shop at local corner shops more deserving citizens than those who frequent supermarkets? And what kind of sport is "hornussing"?
外國(guó)居民在申請(qǐng)公民身份前必須知道如何回收廢油？在街角商店買東西的人比經(jīng)常逛超市的人更應(yīng)該成為公民？而“瑞士棒球”又是什么運(yùn)動(dòng)呢？

These are just some of the questions Switzerland is puzzling over after a 25-year-old failed the notoriously tough Swiss citizenship requirements – even though she has lived in the country all her life, speaks fluently in the local dialect and had passed the written part of the exam with full marks.
這些只是困擾瑞士的一部分問題。一名25歲的女性一出生就在這個(gè)國(guó)家生活，可以流利的說當(dāng)?shù)卣Z言，并且滿分通過筆試部分。但她仍然不滿足瑞士出了名苛刻的入籍條件。

Funda Yilmaz, who was born in Switzerland to Turkish parents and works as a draughtswoman in the town of Aarau, applied for citizenship after her Swiss fiancee had suggested that she should take a more active part in the referendums that make up the country's unusual mix of direct and representative democracy.
伊爾馬斯出生在瑞士，在阿勞鎮(zhèn)做繪圖師，父母是土耳其人。她申請(qǐng)了瑞士公民身份，因?yàn)樗娜鹗课椿榉蚪ㄗh她在該國(guó)特殊的直接民主和代議制民主組合制度下更加積極地參與公民投票。

"I was born here. I don't know any other life," she told a panel of six examiners at the interview which follows the written test. "I don't have plans to emigrate either."
筆試之后，她在面試中對(duì)同一組的6位考官表示：“我出生在這里。我不了解別處的生活，也沒有移民的計(jì)劃?！?/p>

Yet after two rounds of interviews and more than 100 questions, a jury of local councilors from the municipality of Buchs rejected Yilmaz's application by 20 votes to 12, reasoning that she "lives in a small world and shows no interest in entering a dialogue with Switzerland and its population" – a verdict many have questioned after weekly news magazine Schweizer Illustrierte published a transcript of the interview.
然而，經(jīng)過兩輪面試，100多個(gè)問題，布克斯市政府的地方顧問評(píng)審團(tuán)還是以20：12的投票結(jié)果拒絕了伊爾馬斯的申請(qǐng)，原因是她“生活在一個(gè)小圈子里，對(duì)融入瑞士和瑞士人不感興趣。”在新聞周刊《瑞士畫報(bào)》刊登了面試結(jié)果后，這一決議受到廣泛質(zhì)疑。

The jury criticized Yilmaz for displaying "gaps" in her knowledge of the municipal recycling system and for not being able to name any local shops other than chain supermarkets such as Aldi.
評(píng)審團(tuán)批評(píng)伊爾馬思缺乏對(duì)市政回收系統(tǒng)的了解，并且除Aldi等連鎖超市，她說不出任何一家地方商鋪的名字。

Another complaint centred around her unfamiliarity with "typical Swiss sports", such as Hornussen, an indigenous cross between baseball and golf, or Schwingen, a style of folk wrestling. Yilmaz had named skiing as a typical Swiss sport. "One could have a very long debate about what is typical and traditional," she wrote in a letter complaining about her rejection.
另一個(gè)主要的不滿是她不熟悉“典型的瑞士運(yùn)動(dòng)”，比如結(jié)合了棒球和高爾夫的土著瑞士棒球，或是民間式摔跤運(yùn)動(dòng)瑞士摔跤。伊爾馬斯則認(rèn)為滑雪是典型的瑞士運(yùn)動(dòng)。她在被拒投訴信中寫道：“人們可以就典型和傳統(tǒng)好好辯論一番?！?/p>

Other questions chosen by the jury included "Do you like hiking?", "Would you rather visit Geneva or the region around Lake Geneva?" and "What kind of fitness training do you do?"
評(píng)審團(tuán)提問的其他問題還包括：“你喜歡遠(yuǎn)足嗎？”，“你更喜歡去日內(nèi)瓦，還是日內(nèi)瓦湖周邊地區(qū)？”“你做哪些健身訓(xùn)練？”

Since the case emerged, there have been several calls for a reform of the naturalization process, which is decided by municipal juries comprised of local residents rather than a centralized agency. "The arbitrary nature of the official process has rarely been so visibly on display," wrote the Tagesanzeiger newspaper. In February, Switzerland voted to make it easier for third-generation immigrants to become citizens, rejecting the complaints of rightwing politicians that the proposed measures would pose a security risk. Until now, a fast-track route to citizenship has been open only to foreigners who had been married to Swiss citizens for more than six years, including those who have never lived in the country.
自從這件事情發(fā)生以來，人們已經(jīng)數(shù)次要求改革入籍程序。入籍決定權(quán)在地方居民組成的評(píng)審團(tuán)而不是中央機(jī)構(gòu)手中 ?！睹咳諏?dǎo)報(bào)》稱：“官方入籍程序很少表現(xiàn)得如此武斷?！苯衲?月，瑞士投票通過放松對(duì)第三代移民的入籍要求，否定了右翼政客的反對(duì)聲音，這些人認(rèn)為提案措施可能會(huì)帶來安全隱患。目前為止，快速入籍僅向與瑞士公民結(jié)婚超過6年的外國(guó)人開放，包括那些從未在瑞士生活的人。
