國務(wù)院總理李克強(qiáng)5月13日主持召開國務(wù)院常務(wù)會議，部署做好今年全國兩會期間各部門聽取全國人大代表和政協(xié)委員意見建議工作。

Given the need for continued COVID-19 containment, the meeting called for adopting new ways for taking in views and suggestions of national legislators and political advisors, including via video-link, phone calls and the internet. These views and suggestions would help the government to learn more about the situation on the ground, especially the hopes of market players and the general public.
考慮到目前仍處于疫情常態(tài)化防控的特殊情況，會議提出要創(chuàng)新聽取代表和委員意見建議的方式，通過視頻、電話、網(wǎng)絡(luò)等了解代表和委員反映的實(shí)情，尤其是市場主體和人民群眾的期盼。

根據(jù)全國兩會有關(guān)安排，會議確定，

Officials of government departments concerned will attend through video link the break-out sessions of NPC deputies to deliberate on the government work report. The departments are required to study carefully and provide feedback to the views and suggestions within their respective purview.
統(tǒng)一安排有關(guān)部門通過視頻連線，旁聽全國人大代表審議政府工作報告的各個小組會議直播，全程聽取意見建議。對涉及本部門職責(zé)的，各部門要認(rèn)真研究并作出答復(fù)。

The meeting directed each government department to set up a special task force headed by its leading official and a hot-line for national legislators and political advisors operated by designated staff members. Content of these calls should be duly taken down and the subject matters addressed and responded to before the two sessions close.
各部門均要成立由部門負(fù)責(zé)同志牽頭的兩會工作專班，設(shè)置代表和委員熱線電話，安排專人值守接聽。對代表和委員來電認(rèn)真記錄，在大會閉幕前予以說明和答復(fù)。

The State Council General Office is required to comb through the minutes of the meetings of national legislators and political advisors and carefully study all the views and suggestions concerning the government work. Where actions are called for, the General Office should swiftly bring the relevant issues to the attention of the competent departments, and see to it that replies are made.

高校畢業(yè)生直招士官 recruiting university graduates for non-commissioned officer roles

國防部征兵辦公室表示，2020年從普通高校畢業(yè)生中直接招收士官工作全面展開。

China's military is recruiting university graduates for non-commissioned officer roles for the first time, according to the recruiting office of the Ministry of National Defense. Online applications will open at the agency's official website www.gfbzb.gov.cn on Friday for those who wish to be enlisted into the armed forces.
國防部征兵辦公室今年將首次面向全國普通高校畢業(yè)生直接招收士官，全國征兵網(wǎng)（http://www.gfbzb.gov.cn）將于5月15日開通直招士官網(wǎng)上報名窗口。

據(jù)了解，士官招收專業(yè)涉及計算機(jī)、道路運(yùn)輸（road transport）、自動化（automation）、通信（communications）、機(jī)電設(shè)備（electromechanical equipment）、機(jī)械設(shè)計制造（mechanical design and manufacturing）、醫(yī)學(xué)技術(shù)（medical technology）、語言（language studies）等專業(yè)。招收對象為普通高校畢業(yè)生（college graduates），所學(xué)專業(yè)符合今年部隊(duì)提報的崗位需求，優(yōu)先招收高校應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生（fresh college graduates）。

國防部征兵辦公室表示，

The non-commissioned officers will be recruited simultaneously with the recruitment of compulsory service personnel this year. This will be running from Aug 1 to Sept 30.
今年直招士官工作將與下半年義務(wù)兵征集同步展開，8月1日開始，9月30日結(jié)束。

【知識點(diǎn)：士官和義務(wù)兵有何區(qū)別】

我軍現(xiàn)役士兵按兵役性質(zhì)分為義務(wù)兵役制士兵和志愿兵役制士兵。義務(wù)兵役制士兵稱為義務(wù)兵（compulsory serviceman），志愿兵役制士兵稱為士官（non-commissioned officer）。士官屬于士兵軍銜序列，但不同于義務(wù)兵役制士兵，是士兵中的骨干。義務(wù)兵實(shí)行供給制，發(fā)給津貼（allowance），士官實(shí)行工資制（pay plans）和定期增資制度（regular pay rise）。目前部隊(duì)面向高校畢業(yè)生既招收士官，也招收義務(wù)兵，這是兩個不同兵役性質(zhì)的士兵系列。（來源：全國征兵網(wǎng)）

The 2019 government work report set a target of 6 to 6.5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) growth from the previous year.

行李全流程跟蹤 whole-journey luggage tracking

近日，民航局宣布民航行李全流程跟蹤系統(tǒng)試點(diǎn)航線試點(diǎn)成功。

China has started a pilot project for whole-journey luggage tracking systems at six major airports, according to the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). These airports include Beijing Capital International Airport, Beijing Daxing International Airport, and Shanghai Hongqiao, Guangzhou Baiyun, Shenzhen Bao'an and Chongqing Jiangbei airports.
民航局表示，我國已經(jīng)在六家大型機(jī)場啟動行李全流程跟蹤系統(tǒng)試點(diǎn)。這六家機(jī)場包括北京首都國際機(jī)場，北京大興國際機(jī)場，上海虹橋、廣州白云、深圳寶安以及重慶江北機(jī)場。

【單詞講解】

在機(jī)場提取行李的時候，我們經(jīng)常會看到baggage claim或者luggage claim這樣的標(biāo)識牌，由此可見這兩個詞在表示“行李”的時候是可以互相替換使用的，只不過baggage這個詞在美式英語中更加常用。此外，baggage這個詞還可以用來表示無形的“精神包袱”，比如，emotional baggage（情緒負(fù)擔(dān)）、personal baggage（個人負(fù)擔(dān)）等，而luggage則沒有這一層意思。

目前，旅客可以通過上述試點(diǎn)機(jī)場官方APP、微信小程序、航顯屏和自助查詢機(jī)等多種途徑，對進(jìn)出港行李進(jìn)行全程追蹤（whole-journey tracking）。旅客只要通過輸入行李牌號碼、身份證號或掃描行李條碼等方式，便可查詢到托運(yùn)（check-in）、安檢（security check）、分揀（sorting）、裝車運(yùn)輸（truck loading）、裝機(jī)（aircraft loading）、到達(dá)（luggage arrival）等多個行李節(jié)點(diǎn)，實(shí)時掌握行李軌跡（realtime tracking）。

民航局于2020年1月在上海組織召開了民航行李全流程跟蹤系統(tǒng)試點(diǎn)工作啟動會，明確了“連點(diǎn)成線、連線成網(wǎng)、逐步實(shí)現(xiàn)”的項(xiàng)目實(shí)施思路和方案。

According to a three-step plan, by the end of 2021, the CAAC will push forward the application of whole-journey luggage tracking on all domestic air routes in mega airports with an annual passenger throughput of at least 10 million. By the end of 2025, the service will be applied on all domestic air routes, and extend to some international routes, according to the plan.
根據(jù)“三步走”戰(zhàn)略，2021年年底全國千萬級機(jī)場間國內(nèi)航線將實(shí)現(xiàn)行李全流程跟蹤，2025年年底將實(shí)現(xiàn)國內(nèi)航線全覆蓋和國際航線有突破。

As of mid-May, three air routes and six major airports across the country were capable of providing services for passengers to track luggage during their whole journey, said the CAAC.
