Made-in-China Tesla vehicles
中国造特斯拉开始交付
US electric carmaker Tesla officially delivered the first batch of 10 made-in-China Model 3 sedans to the public Tuesday afternoon, one year after the company broke ground on its first overseas plant.
7日下午，美国电动汽车制造商特斯拉正式向公众交付了首批10辆中国造Model 3型轿车。一年前，特斯拉第一家海外工厂破土动工。
The Shanghai plant started trial production in late October and is now producing 3,000 vehicles a week. Fifteen Tesla employees had received their vehicles in late December last year. The company also announced on Tuesday the launch of a project to manufacture Model Y vehicles in its Shanghai gigafactory.
去年10月下旬，特斯拉上海工厂开始试行生产，如今该厂每周可生产3000辆Model 3型轿车。去年12月下旬，特斯拉向其15名员工交付了Model 3型轿车。特斯拉7日还宣布在上海超级工厂启动制造Model Y轿车的项目。
Tesla China's website shows that the Model Y could be produced as early as 2021. Last week Tesla cut the starting price for its China-made Model 3 sedans by 16% to 299,050 yuan after making it into the list of electric carmakers eligible for government subsidies. Prices of other models available in the Chinese market have been cut as well.
特斯拉中国网站显示，Model Y型轿车最早将在2021年生产。在特斯拉被列入符合政府补贴的电动汽车名单后，上周该公司将其中国造Model 3型轿车的起售价下调16%，降至29.905万元。中国市场上在售的其他特斯拉车型价格也有所下调。

Free plane tickets giveaway
日航将赠五万免费机票
Japan Airlines is giving away 50,000 free round-trip domestic air tickets to international tourists this summer - but there's a catch. The giveaway aims to encourage tourists to see less visited parts of Japan, and perhaps take some of the strain off Tokyo between July 1 and Sept 30 this year as the capital hosts the Olympic Summer Games.
日本航空今年夏天将向国外游客免费送出5万张国内往返机票，但有一个条件。这次机票赠送的目的是鼓励游客去日本少有人旅游的地方，也许是为了在今年7月1日和9月30日期间减少首都东京的一部分压力。届时东京将举办夏季奥运会。
However to win free tickets, travelers must be registered outside of Japan with the flag carrier's Mileage Bank frequent flier program. The airline will recommend four local destinations to choose from, flying out of Haneda airport in Tokyo, or Osaka's Itami and Kansai airports.
不过，想要赢得免费机票，旅客必须在日本境外注册日本航空的里程银行常客项目。日本航空将推荐四个国内目的地供你选择，从东京的羽田机场或大阪的伊丹机场和关西机场起飞。
Family and friends traveling together can apply as a group of up to four people, and applicants will receive the result within three days of applying.
一起旅行的亲朋好友可以组团申请(一个团最多四个人)，申请人将在申请后的三日内收到结果。
