Student disqualified in the exam
口罩不遮鼻被取消成绩?
A student taking Japan's standardized university entrance exams was disqualified Saturday for refusing to cover their nose with a facial mask, in violation of rules set by the exam operator to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
1月16日,日本一名高考考生因违反考场规定,未听从指示用口罩遮住鼻子,而被取消考试资格与成绩。为防止新冠病毒传播,日本所有高考考生必须按规定戴口罩。
The operator said Sunday the test-taker in Tokyo disobeyed exam supervisors' instructions to cover the nose, despite being told to do so seven times in total.
考试中心负责人1月17日称,在东京都考场内,该考生虽然戴了口罩,但鼻子始终露在外面,监考老师一共提醒了这名考生7次。
The National Center for University Entrance Examinations has said on its website and leaflets for students that people cannot take the exams unless they wear facial masks "correctly."
日本大学入学考试中心在其网站和给学生的传单上指出,除非“正确”戴口罩,否则不能参加考试。
The center allows those who cannot wear facial masks due to a medical condition to take the exams in a separate room, as long as they ask to do so one day prior to the tests.
因身体状况等原因不能戴口罩的考生,只要提前一天提出要求,考试中心允许考生在单独的房间参加考试。
But the test-taker in question did not provide any special reason beforehand, it said.
但这名考生事先并未提供任何特殊原因。
Organizers are taking strict anti-coronavirus measures in addition to requiring masks, such as social distancing, disinfecting students' hands, ensuring that venues are well-ventilated and that test-takers eat lunch alone.
除了要求戴口罩外,考试中心还采取了严格的抗新冠病毒措施,如保持社交距离、考生手部消毒、确保考场通风良好、考生单独吃午餐等。
