The 2026 World Cup is starting. The weather is very hot. People are worried about the health of the workers and players.

2026年世界盃即將開賽。天氣非常炎熱，人們擔心工人和球員的健康。

The weather is dangerous. Some cities have very high temperatures. Many workers, like security and food staff, can get sick from the heat. Some stadiums do not have air conditioning.

天氣非常危險。部分城市的溫度極高。許多工人（如安保與餐飲人員）可能會因高溫而生病。部分體育場館沒有空調。

FIFA changed the game times to avoid the hot sun. They also give water to the players. But workers start their jobs very early. They do not have the same help.

FIFA 調整了比賽時間以避開烈日，並為球員提供飲用水。然而，工人需要很早就開始工作，他們無法獲得同樣的協助。

Laws are different in each state. California and Washington have heat laws. Florida and Texas do not have these laws. Now, many workers have no protection from the heat.

各州的法律有所不同。加州和華盛頓州有高溫相關法律，但佛羅里達州和德州則沒有。目前，許多工人在面對高溫時缺乏保護。

The weather is still very hot. Workers are safe only if their boss gives them help.

天氣依然非常炎熱。只有在老闆提供協助的情況下，工人才能確保安全。

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has started during a period of severe weather warnings, raising serious concerns about the health and safety of staff and participants in North American host cities.

2026年FIFA世界盃在嚴重天氣警告期間開始，引起對北美主辦城市中工作人員與參與者健康與安全的嚴重擔憂。

The tournament is taking place during unusually high temperatures, with the National Weather Service reporting dangerous heat in several areas. Data shows that global temperatures have risen since the last North American tournament, which increases the risk of heat exhaustion. A University of Georgia study emphasized that certain roles are more vulnerable, specifically security guards, food service staff, and temporary contractors who are not used to the local climate. Furthermore, the lack of air conditioning in venues in cities like Miami and Philadelphia makes these conditions even more dangerous.

本屆賽事在異常高溫期間舉行，國家氣象局報告指出多個地區出現危險高溫。數據顯示，自上次北美賽事以來，全球氣溫已上升，增加了中暑的風險。喬治亞大學的一項研究強調，某些職位較為脆弱，特別是保安人員、餐飲服務人員以及不適應當地氣候的臨時承包商。此外，邁阿密和費城等城市的場館缺乏空調，使這些情況變得更加危險。

However, the response to these risks has been inconsistent. While FIFA has changed match schedules to avoid the hottest part of the day and added water breaks for players, labor advocates assert that these measures do not protect staff who start work long before the games begin. Additionally, safety protocols are limited because there are no uniform laws; only California and Washington have enforceable heat standards for workers. In states like Florida and Texas, local cities are prevented from creating their own heat protection laws. Consequently, the safety of temporary workers often depends on the kindness of their employers, despite warnings from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

然而，針對這些風險的應對措施並不一致。雖然FIFA調整了比賽賽程以避開一天中最熱的时段，並為球員增加了飲水時間，但勞工倡議者主張，這些措施無法保護在比賽開始前很久就開始工作的員工。此外，由於缺乏統一法律，安全協定十分有限；僅有加州和華盛頓州擁有對工人具有強制力的高溫標準。在佛羅里達州和德克薩斯州，當地城市被禁止制定自己的高溫保護法。因此，儘管職業安全與健康管理局發出了警告，臨時工的安全往往取決於僱主的仁慈。

The tournament continues under extreme weather alerts, and the actual safety of workers depends on whether employers choose to provide voluntary protections.

賽事在極端天氣警報下繼續進行，而工作人員的實際安全則取決於雇主是否選擇提供自願性保護。

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has commenced amidst severe meteorological warnings, prompting concerns regarding the physiological safety of personnel and participants across North American host cities.

2026年FIFA世界盃在嚴峻的氣象警告中展開，引發了對北美主辦城市內工作人員與參賽者生理安全的關注。

The tournament's operational environment is characterized by anomalous thermal elevations, with the National Weather Service reporting lethal heat conditions in several regions. Climatological data indicates a systemic increase in global temperatures since the previous North American iteration of the event, exacerbating risks of heat exhaustion. A study led by the University of Georgia identifies a high correlation between vulnerability and specific operational roles, noting that security personnel, concession staff, and temporary contractors—particularly those not acclimated to local climates—face elevated risks. The absence of air conditioning in venues such as those in Miami and Philadelphia further compounds these hazards.

本次賽事的運作環境呈現異常的高溫，國家氣象局報告指出數個地區出現了致命的酷熱情況。氣候數據顯示，自從上次在北美舉辦以來，全球氣溫系統性上升，加劇了中暑風險。由喬治亞大學領導的一項研究指出，脆弱性與特定工作崗位之間具有高度相關性，特別是保安人員、特許經營攤位員工與臨時承包商——尤其是那些不適應當地氣候的人員，面臨較高風險。邁阿密與費城等場地缺乏空調設備，進一步加劇了這些危險。

Institutional responses to these risks are fragmented. While FIFA has implemented strategic scheduling to avoid peak diurnal heat and introduced hydration intervals for athletes, labor advocates argue these measures are insufficient for staff whose shifts precede kick-off. The efficacy of safety protocols is further constrained by a lack of regulatory uniformity; only two host states, California and Washington, maintain enforceable occupational heat standards. In jurisdictions such as Florida and Texas, state-level preemption prohibits municipalities from mandating heat protections. Consequently, the protection of non-unionized temporary workers remains largely contingent upon individual employer discretion, despite the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's renewed emphasis on heat-safety enforcement.

機構對這些風險的反應相當碎片化。雖然FIFA實施了策略性的賽程安排以避開日間最高溫，並為運動員引入補水時間，但勞工權益倡導者認為，對於在開賽前就開始值班的員工而言，這些措施並不充分。由於缺乏監管統一性，安全協定的成效進一步受限；僅有加州與華盛頓這兩個主辦州維持有可強制執行的職業熱壓力標準。在佛羅里達州與德克薩斯州等司法管轄區，州級搶先權禁止市政府強制執行熱保護措施。因此，儘管職業安全與健康管理局重新強調執行熱安全，非工會臨時工的保障在很大程度上仍取決於個別僱主的裁量權。

The tournament continues under a regime of extreme weather alerts, with the actualization of worker safety depending on the implementation of voluntary and contractual protections.

賽事在極端天氣警告下繼續進行，員工安全的實現取決於自願性與合約性保障的落實。
