>Canada to ship back giant pandas
旅加大熊猫将提前回家

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.
由于新冠疫情期间获取竹子困难，卡尔加里动物园将提前几年把两只大熊猫送还中国。

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.
因疫情导致航班中断，动物园的工作人员竭力进口足够的竹子来喂养大熊猫"二顺"和"大毛"，这两只大熊猫是中国租借给加拿大的，租期原计划持续至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.
动物园表示，预计短期内，大熊猫的主要食物供应可能会因运输困难进一步中断。

The Calgary Zoo is asking the Canadian and Chinese governments to expedite the necessary permits to ship the pandas as soon as possible.

In China, the pandas will have access to fresh and local bamboo, eliminating the supply concern.

>Vehicle sales rebound
4月汽车销量首现正增长

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.
中国汽车工业协会(中汽协)11日称，随着汽车产量恢复到2019年的水平，4月我国汽车月销量出现近两年来的首次增长，这表明自新冠肺炎疫情以来，该行业已恢复常态。

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.
中汽协数据显示，4月汽车产销分别达到210万辆和207万辆，同比分别增长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.
这是自2018年7月以来首次出现月销量增长，由于人们因新冠肺炎疫情无法前往中国这个全球最大汽车市场的展厅，此前3月和2月的销量分别下降了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.
中汽协副秘书长陈士华称，销量反弹主要是国内有效控制疫情和一系列政府政策产生的结果。

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.
中汽协称，4月的反弹并未达到预期，由于被压抑的需求预计将得到释放，未来两个月的增势可能将会继续加强。
