法航女性機組人員拒戴頭巾

France’s national airline will allow female staff to volunteer for a new route to Iran rather than require them.

法國航空公司將不強迫機組人員飛行德黑蘭航線，讓服務(wù)此航線的女性機組人員自愿決定。

Air France announced that female flight attendants must wear a headscarf, also known as hijab, on arrival in Iran.

法國航空公司要求在飛往伊朗的航班上的女性機組人員必須用頭巾遮住頭發(fā)，即佩戴希賈布。

Some flight attendants objected.

一些機組人員對佩戴頭巾的要求表示反對。

The union representing crew members said they worried that females would face discipline if they refused to work the flight.

代表機組人員的工會表示，他們擔(dān)心女性機組人員若拒飛會受到懲罰。

The airline now says female participation on the route to Iran will be on a volunteer basis.

目前法航表示女性機組人員可自愿決定是否服務(wù)飛往伊朗的航線。

The airline begins three flights a week between Paris and Tehran on April 17.

法航預(yù)計從4月17日起，每周開設(shè)三班從巴黎飛往德黑蘭的航班。

The headscarf issue puts the two cultures in conflict. Women in Iran have been required to wear hijab since a revolution in 1979. In France, religious headscarves are not allowed in some schools and offices. It is also against the law to wear the full-faced veil in public in France.

此次頭巾風(fēng)波表現(xiàn)了兩種文化的相互碰撞。自1979年革命以來，伊朗就要求女性必須佩戴希賈布。而在法國，一些學(xué)校和機構(gòu)不允許女性帶宗教性質(zhì)的頭巾。在法國，戴遮住整張臉的面紗也是違法的。
