進入《中英對照讀新聞》Poll：Germans accept nuke exit despite rising bill 民調︰儘管帳單攀升，德國人仍接受廢核
◎魏國金
A new poll finds that a large majority of Germans back the government’s decision to phase out nuclear power and switch to renewable energies within a decade, despite rising electricity bills.
一份新民調發現，絕大多數德國人支持政府10年內逐步淘汰核能電廠，並轉向再生能源的決策，即便電費攀漲亦然。
The poll for German news magazine Focus published Sunday found that 72 percent continue to support the country’s energy switchover. Only 24 percent were opposed to the policy.
這份為德國新聞雜誌「焦點」進行、週日公布的民調發現，72%民眾繼續支持國家能源徹底轉換的決策。僅24%反對此政策。
Germany’s grid operators announced earlier this month that a surcharge on households’ electricity prices financing the expansion of renewable energies will increase by 47 percent starting in January. A typical family of four will then have to pay about （euro） 250 （$325） per year on top of their bill.
德國電網營運業者本月初宣布，提供再生能源擴展資金的家戶電價附加費用，將從明年1月起調漲47%。屆時，一個典型的4口之家在電費之外，每年還必須支付約250歐元費用（325美元）。
Polling agency Forsa surveyed 1,000 people this week. Focus did not provide the poll’s margin of error.
民調機構「弗莎」本週調查1000名民眾。「焦點」沒有提供該民調的誤差範圍。
