Brazil’s congress has approved a constitutional amendment to shorten the working week to a maximum of 40 hours, a move that could affect 30 million workers and that will hand a political victory to the leftist president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva ahead of the presidential runoff in under two weeks.(巴西国会通过宪法修正案，将每周工时上限缩短至40小时，此举可能影响3000万劳动者，并将在不到两周后的总统决选前给左翼总统卢拉送上一场政治胜利。)
