　　这一试行办法于周三始于陕西省会西安市。考核员在街上随机画出一平方米，把里面的灰尘扫干净放在秤上。

　　Streets which exceed 5 grams of dust per square meter will count as a strike against its cleaner. Three strikes gets the cleaner fired, and their supervisors³ will face disciplinary action too, reported the state-run People's Daily.

　　据中国国家媒体《人民日报》报道，街道上每平方米的灰尘超过5克，负责的清洁工就被记一次不合格。三次不合格的清洁工将被开除，其主管也将受到纪律处分。

　　王冠海说，他从早上4点工作到下午6点，每天对负责的道路清扫4-5遍。

　　The new rules have drawn⁵ criticism from netizens, many of whom say it's unfair to the cleaners.

　　Some have pointed⁶ out that with the air pollution problem unsolved, it's a Sisyphean task for cleaners to prevent dust from collecting on streets.

　　On Thursday afternoon, the air pollution level in Xi'an was 159 - unhealthy on the AQI scale.

　　27日下午，西安的空气指数是159，空气质量指数范围属于不健康。

　　One Weibo user said: "Are you trying to kill the sanitation⁷ workers? The air is full of dust, so they'll never be able to keep the roads entirely⁸ dust-free."
