Some CT machines are available at 8 community health service centers in Jiading, including one in Waigang Town.

“I came here at 10 last night and waited for about 8 hours. My daughter and son-in-law were both born in the Year of the Rabbit. I think it’s auspicious【吉祥的】to get such stamps.”

“我昨天10点钟就过来了，等了大概有8个小时了。因为我女儿女婿都属兔的，所以想图个吉利。”

80 places at the post office were all taken within 10 minutes after sale started at 6:30. The set has two stamps. One features a blue rabbit holding a letter in one hand and a pen in the other. "Blue rabbit" is pronounced as blueprint in Chinese, extending best wishes for the new year. The other stamp has three rabbits running in a circle, symbolizing vitality. The set was designed by artist Huang Yongyu, who is now 100 years old. Back in 1980, Huang had designed stamps for the Year of the Monkey.

1月5日清晨6时30分，邮局开始销售兔年邮票。80个购买名额在开始销售后的10分钟内，便一售而空。此次发行的《癸卯年》特种邮票，由我国100岁高龄的著名艺术家、“猴票之父”黄永玉操刀设计，一套两枚：第一枚名为“癸卯寄福”，蓝色卯兔左手持信，右手执笔，蓝兔谐音“蓝图”，寄予新的一年共绘宏伟蓝图的美好愿景；第二枚名为“同圆共生”，三只兔子首尾相接、奔腾不息，表达出生生不息、团圆美满的吉祥寓意。

3.U.K. PM PLEDGES TO HALVE INFLATION, BOOST ECONOMY

英国首相承诺将通货膨胀率减半，促进经济发展

In his first major speech of 2023, U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he plans to halve inflation【通货膨胀】and boost the country’s economy.

英国首相里希·苏纳克在其2023年的首次重要演讲中表示，他计划将通货膨胀率减半，并促进国家经济发展。

Sunak made five pledges. They are: to halve inflation; to grow the economy; to reduce the national debt; to cut hospital waiting lists; and to stop illegal migrant boats from crossing the English Channel. He said his government will halve inflation this year to reduce the cost of living and provide financial security to the people of Britain. According to official figures, the UK’s annual inflation dipped to 10.7 percent in November from 11.1 percent in October. Sunak is also facing a crisis with the UK National Health Service, as 13 hospital trusts declared emergency status at the start of the new year. The government said it is doing all it can to free up capacity in hospitals and explained that many of the issues the NHS is facing are partly due to the "backlog" created by the pandemic.

苏纳克做出了五项承诺，分别为：将通货膨胀率减半；促进经济增长；减少国家债务；减少医院候诊名单；以及阻止非法移民船只穿越英吉利海峡。首相表示，政府将在今年将通货膨胀率减半，以降低国民生活成本，为英国人民提供财政保障。根据官方数据，英国11月的年度通胀率从10月的11.1%下降至10.7%。此外，苏纳克还需解决英国国家医疗服务体系的危机，因为英国13家医院信托机构在新年伊始就宣布进入了紧急状态。他表示，政府目前正在尽其所能释放医院的能力，并解释称，目前国家医疗服务体系面临的许多问题部分是由于新冠流行病所造成的“医疗积压”导致的。
