　　In Iceland, the trials run by Reykjavík City Council and the national government eventually included more than 2,500 workers, which amounts to about 1% of Iceland's working population.

　　在冰島，這項(xiàng)由雷克雅未克市議會(huì)和國(guó)家政府開(kāi)展的試點(diǎn)活動(dòng)最后覆蓋了2500多名員工，相當(dāng)于冰島勞動(dòng)人口的1%。

　　Many of them moved from a 40 hour week to a 35 or 36 hour week, researchers from UK think tank Autonomy3 and the Association for Sustainable Democracy (Alda) in Iceland said.

　　The trials led unions to renegotiate working patterns, and now 86% of Iceland's workforce4 have either moved to shorter hours for the same pay, or will gain the right to, the researchers said.

　　研究人員稱，試點(diǎn)活動(dòng)導(dǎo)致工會(huì)重新協(xié)商工作模式，如今冰島86%的勞動(dòng)力可以在不降薪的條件下縮短工作時(shí)間，或?qū)⒛塬@得這一權(quán)利。

　　Workers reported feeling less stressed and at risk of burnout, and said their health and work-life balance had improved.

　　Will Stronge, director of research at Autonomy, said: "This study shows that the world's largest ever trial of a shorter working week in the public sector5 was by all measures an overwhelming success.

　　Autonomy的研究部主任威爾·斯特朗說(shuō)：“這項(xiàng)研究表明，世界有史以來(lái)公共部門(mén)最大型的短周工作制試點(diǎn)在各個(gè)方面都取得了壓倒性的勝利�！�

　　"It shows that the public sector is ripe for being a pioneer of shorter working weeks - and lessons can be learned for other governments."

　　“研究顯示，冰島公共部門(mén)率先實(shí)行短周工作制的時(shí)機(jī)已經(jīng)成熟，并能為他國(guó)政府提供經(jīng)驗(yàn)。”
