Nine senior officials at Dubai Municipality have been ordered to retire by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai.
近日，阿联酋副总统、迪拜酋长谢赫·穆罕默德·本·拉希德勒令9名迪拜市政府高级官员退休。
Those told to quit their jobs included the municipality's legal counsel and executive director of legal affairs, its deputy director general and six assistant directors.
这些被停职的人包括迪拜市政府法律顾问、法律事务部主任，副局长以及6名局长助理。
Sheikh Mohammed ordered the management changes last Monday, a day after he made a surprise, early-morning visit to government offices.
谢赫·穆罕默德于上周一公布了这项人事整改。而就在前一天的大清早，他突击检查了迪拜政府各部门。
Video posted online showed him walking into a room with his portrait on a wall and standing by an empty desk.
根据网上发布的视频显示，他走进的这个房间办公桌前空空如也，墙上还挂有他的照片。

Sheikh Mohammed visited the municipality, land and economic development departments and Dubai International Airport.
当天谢赫·穆罕默德突击查岗的部门包括迪拜市经济部、土地部、市政府以及迪拜国际机场。
"He certainly wanted to send a message," said Mona Al Marri, director general of the Dubai Media Office. "Timeliness starts at the top and we won't go after the employees when their bosses aren't there."
迪拜媒体办公室负责人莫纳·阿马里表示：“他显然是想传递一个信息。高层应首先做到按时上班。如果主管自己都不在，又如何去管理员工呢？”
The media office said yesterday's high-level changes at the municipality were part of Sheikh Mohammed's "keenness to give way to a new generation of young leaders capable of bearing responsibility for the next phase of development".
媒体办公室表示，政府高层昨天的变化，是谢赫·穆罕默德“热心于为对国家下一阶段的发展肩负重任的年轻官员们让路。”
Sheikh Mohammed expressed his appreciation for their efforts during their tenure and wished them success for the future.
谢赫·穆罕默德对这9名官员在职期间所做出的努力表示了感谢，并祝愿他们能在今后的人生中取得更大的成功。
