一、译前自测-ECO选段(英译汉)
建议落笔翻译，若手头暂无纸笔，也可先进行视译。
COVID-19 PRESENTED employers with a simple choice: find ways for workers to do their jobs safely, or shut down. At least some have chosen a third option, of dispensing with humans altogether. Among the many breathless headlines prompted by the pandemic are those warning of a new wave of job-destroying automation. The pace of automation in some parts of the economy, like factory floors and warehouses, is almost certain to accelerate. Yet on the whole, robot-induced mass unemployment should remain near the bottom of workers’ lists of worries.

新冠疫情要雇主做个简单的选择：要么想方设法让员工安全工作，要么关门大吉。不过也有人选了第三条路——完全不使用人类员工。在疫情带来的众多令人窒息的头条新闻中，有一些警告人们当心新一轮自动化对就业的破坏。在经济的某些方面，如工厂车间和仓库，自动化几乎必然会提速。不过总的来说，机器人引发大规模失业应该依旧是员工们最不需要担心的事项之一。
