>Permanent shift to remote work
矽谷讓遠程辦公常態化

Some Twitter employees will never return to their office.
一些推特員工永遠不會回辦公室了。

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey emailed employees on Tuesday telling them that they'd be allowed to work from home permanently, even after the coronavirus pandemic lockdown passes.
推特執行長傑克·多爾西12日通過電郵告知員工，他們將被允許永久在家辦公，即便新冠肺炎疫情封鎖解除也是如此。

Some jobs that require physical presence, such as maintaining servers, will still require employees to come in.
某些需要親臨現場的工作，比如維護伺服器，仍然需要員工到崗。

Silicon Valley companies were among the first adopters of work-from-home policies when the coronavirus spread, and they're in no rush to bring workers back to the office.
新冠病毒蔓延時，矽谷的公司最早實行在家辦公政策，它們也不急於讓員工重返辦公室。

Facebook and Google told employees last week that they will have the option to work from home until the end of 2020 - with most workers expected to not return to the office until 2021.
臉書和谷歌上周已經告知其員工，直到今年年底，他們都可以選擇在家辦公，預計多數員工在2021年前都不會再回辦公室了。

>Canada to ship back giant pandas
旅加大熊貓將提前回家

The Calgary Zoo is shipping two giant pandas back to China years ahead of schedule due to difficulty obtaining bamboo amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
由於新冠疫情期間獲取竹子困難，卡爾加裡動物園將提前幾年把兩隻大熊貓送還中國。

Zoo staff have struggled to import enough bamboo to feed giant pandas Er Shun and Da Mao - who are on loan to Canada from China until 2023 - due to flights being disrupted by the pandemic.
因疫情導致航班中斷，動物園的工作人員竭力進口足夠的竹子來餵養大熊貓"二順"和"大毛"，這兩隻大熊貓是中國租借給加拿大的，租期原計劃持續至2023年。

The zoo said it expects the supply of the panda's main food could be further disrupted by transportation struggles on very short notice.
動物園表示，預計短期內，大熊貓的主要食物供應可能會因運輸困難進一步中斷。

The Calgary Zoo is asking the Canadian and Chinese governments to expedite the necessary permits to ship the pandas as soon as possible.
卡爾加裡動物園尋求加拿大和中國政府儘快批覆必要許可，以便儘早將大熊貓送回。

In China, the pandas will have access to fresh and local bamboo, eliminating the supply concern.
在中國，大熊貓將能直接獲得當地新鮮的竹子，這樣就消除了供應擔憂。

>Vehicle sales rebound
4月汽車銷量首現正增長

China's monthly vehicle sales rose for the first time in nearly two years in April with production returning to 2019 levels, an indication that the industry has returned to normalcy since the novel coronavirus outbreak, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) said on Monday.
中國汽車工業協會(中汽協)11日稱，隨著汽車產量恢復到2019年的水平，4月我國汽車月銷量出現近兩年來的首次增長，這表明自新冠肺炎疫情以來，該行業已恢復常態。

A total of 2.07 million vehicles were sold in April, up 4.4% on a yearly basis, while vehicle output rose by 2.3% on a yearly basis to 2.1 million units during the same period, according to the CAAM.
中汽協數據顯示，4月汽車產銷分別達到210萬輛和207萬輛，同比分別增長2.3%和4.4%。

The first monthly sales growth since July 2018 came after a 43% fall in March and a 79% slump in February, as the novel coronavirus outbreak distanced people from showrooms in the world's largest auto market.
這是自2018年7月以來首次出現月銷量增長，由於人們因新冠肺炎疫情無法前往中國這個全球最大汽車市場的展廳，此前3月和2月的銷量分別下降了43%和79%。

Chen Shihua, deputy secretary-general of the CAAM, said the rebound was primarily a result of the country's effective efforts in controlling the pandemic and a slew of government policies.
中汽協副秘書長陳士華稱，銷量反彈主要是國內有效控制疫情和一系列政府政策產生的結果。

The association said the rebound in April fell short of expectations and it estimated that the growth trend will likely continue to improve in the next two months due to the anticipated release of pent-up demand.
中汽協稱，4月的反彈並未達到預期，由於被壓抑的需求預計將得到釋放，未來兩個月的增勢可能將會繼續加強。
