据公司员工警告，由于一项逐步“放血”式的裁员计划在数周内缓慢发布，涉及多达2000名员工，BBC的士气已严重受挫。
has been severely dented by a gradual “bloodletting” that has seen plans to shed as many as 2,000 staff slowly announced over several weeks, members of the corporation’s staff have warned.
本周将召开更多内部会议，讨论旨在节省5亿英镑裁员计划的更多细节。部分员工已担心，新年伊始将紧接着迎来新一轮裁员。
More internal meetings have been called for this week to discuss further details of the cuts which aim to save £500m. Some staff already fear that further waves of cuts will follow soon after in the new year.
据《卫报》了解，预计BBC苏格兰台和BBC Three台将均转为纯在线频道，作为省钱措施的一部分。
It is expected that BBC Scotland and BBC Three will both be made online-only channels as part of a bid to save money, the Guardian understands.
BBC因面临严重财务挑战而被迫裁员，过去一年其现金收入以惊人速度下降。BBC总干事马特·布里廷表示，他上任时并未完全意识到这些压力。
The BBC is having to make the cuts as a result of its serious financial challenges, which have seen its cash revenues fall at an alarming rate over the last year. Matt Brittin, the BBC’s director general, has said he was not fully aware of the pressures when he took the job.
漫长的裁员宣布过程源于BBC的决定：尽快逐个部门告知受影响团队。
The drawn-out process of announcing the cuts comes as a result of the BBC’s decision to tell the teams affected as soon as possible, department by department.
然而，许多人承认，结果是“接连不断”的宣布加剧了新广播大厦的低迷士气。“我们有自己的问题，但似乎正在制造新问题，”一位内部人士表示。
However, many acknowledge the result has been a “drip, drip” of announcements that has added to the low morale at New Broadcasting House. “We have our problems, but we seem to be creating new ones,” said one insider.
针对又一份关于进一步裁员的内部通告，另一位BBC人士说：“放血还在继续。”关闭BBC Three和BBC苏格兰台的线性频道将成为最新节省计划中最艰难的时刻之一。内部人士称，收视数据无法证明保留它们播出的合理性。
Referring to yet another internal announcement on further job losses, another BBC figure said: “The bloodletting continues.”Closing the linear channels for BBC Three and BBC Scotland will be one of the most difficult moments in the latest savings programme. Insiders said the viewing numbers could not justify keeping them on the air.
布里廷发表了一系列言论，暗示公司拥有过多线性频道，而观看习惯已转向BBC iPlayer平台的回看观看。
Brittin has made a series of comments suggesting the corporation has too many linear channels, when viewing habits have switched to catchup viewing on the BBC’s iPlayer platform.
BBC各部门已宣布大规模裁员计划，从新闻部到地方广播，再到其相对较新的媒体技术部，其中将实施110个强制裁员岗位，该部门共有280个职位将被取消。
Sweeping redundancy plans have been announced across the BBC, from the news division to local radio and its relatively new media tech division, where 110 compulsory redundancies will be made, with 280 roles closing in the division in total.
裁员补偿条款也正在接受审查。BBC已宣布减少地方新闻记者数量，并要求现有记者兼任一般报道工作。地方广播电台也将变得更加区域化。
Redundancy pay terms are also being reviewed. The BBC has already announced a reduction in local news correspondents, as well as making existing correspondents carry out general reporting duties. Local radio will also be made more regional.
尽管儿童电视节目受到保护，BBC将其儿童节目吹捧为对抗网络低质内容的高质量解药，但该部门的员工也被征询，若有意愿可申请自愿离职。
While children’s television has been protected, with the BBC touting its children’s programming as a high-quality antidote to online slop, even staff in that division have been asked to come forward should they wish to take voluntary redundancy.
BBC员工中已弥漫起绞刑架幽默。上周一次关于削减开支的在线会议被大量表示不满的表情符号刷屏，管理层不得不训斥员工。
Gallows humour has already gripped some BBC staff. Managers had to chastise staff after one online call about cuts last week, after it was flooded with disapproving emojis.
与此同时，一些主持人已开始在节目中提及裁员。BBC《北部视线》主持人彼得·利维上周开玩笑说“BBC裁员开始了”，因为天气预报员在播报时有声音但画面未显示。
Meanwhile, some presenters have begun to refer to the cuts on air. BBC Look North’s Peter Levy joked last week that the “BBC cuts are starting” after a weather presenter could be heard but not seen by viewers during an update.
一些员工现在开始询问裁员何时才能结束，因为他们被告知成本节约措施分为“几波”实施，明年可能还有更多裁员。一名员工担心会陷入“厄运螺旋”，即节目质量下降导致更多人不愿缴纳牌照费。
Some staff are now asking when the cuts will end, given some have been told cost savings have been divided into “waves” and more could be coming next year. One staffer feared a “doom spiral” of weaker output and an increase in the number of people unwilling to pay the licence fee.
“挑战是真实的，但这场持续数周的现实演变……只会让挑战雪上加霜，短期内不会好转，”该员工表示。
“The challenge is real but the reality playing out over weeks and weeks … is likely to make that challenge worse and not better anytime soon,” they said.
任何未来计划都将由BBC与政府就其未来资金模式进行的每周会谈塑造，这可能会将牌照费范围扩大至覆盖所有观看流媒体服务的人群。
Any future plans will be shaped by weekly talks taking place between the BBC and the government over its future funding model, which could see the licence fee widened to include anyone who watches a streaming service.
目前，只有在任何平台观看直播电视或观看iPlayer的人才需要缴纳该费用。
Currently, only those who watch live television on any platform, or watch the iPlayer, have to pay the fee.
