The government's austerity measures are part of a multi-billion-dollar international bailout agreement.

The 48-hour protest came at the behest of the country’s largest public and private sector labor unions, and has shut down various services, including ferries to the island nation, garbage collection and government offices.

Greece’s parliament is set to vote on a bill to overhaul the country’s pension system Sunday night. If the law is passed, Greece will raise its social security contribution requirements, increase the income tax on high-wage earners and set up a new national pension.

希臘議會星期日晚上將就一項退休制度改革方案進行表決。如果法案得以通過，希臘將提高雇員對社會保險金的承擔(dān)份額、提高高薪人員的所得稅率并制定新的全國退休金制度。

The new austerity measures are aimed at persuading international creditors to release additional bailout money.
