5月28日晚8點(diǎn)33分,“鄭州市西瓜辦開通官方微博,請大家關(guān)注?!彪S著這樣一條簡單的信息發(fā)布,鄭州市西瓜辦的官方微博正式開通,很快成為網(wǎng)友關(guān)注的焦點(diǎn),剛開始遭到不少人的“花椒”。截至昨日下午5點(diǎn)33分,“西瓜辦”的微博粉絲已突破2.1萬人。
請看《中國日報(bào)》的報(bào)道:
The office named its account "Watermelon Office" because it is simple and easy to remember, it said. However, the name immediately aroused curiosity among netizens, many of whom said they had never heard of such a government department handling only watermelon affairs. By Thursday, the micro blog had attracted more than 22,200 followers.
這個辦公室把自己的微博賬戶叫作“西瓜辦”,因?yàn)楹唵斡趾糜?。然而,這個名字立即引來了網(wǎng)友的好奇,很多人表示從來沒有聽說過這種專門處理西瓜事務(wù)的政府部門。不過到周四,該微博的粉絲就已經(jīng)突破了2.2萬人。
Watermelon Office就是“西瓜辦”,也就是幫農(nóng)民賣西瓜的政府部門。西瓜是鄭州的major farm produce(大宗農(nóng)產(chǎn)品),為了規(guī)范西瓜有序銷售,促進(jìn)瓜農(nóng)增收,“西瓜辦”應(yīng)運(yùn)而生。
“西瓜辦”是臨時機(jī)構(gòu),每年只在西瓜集中上市期間設(shè)立,從各單位臨時抽調(diào)人員組成,隨后解散。西瓜辦目前有兩名工作人員來maintain the micro blog account(維護(hù)微博賬戶)。
