芬蘭一城市為新生發(fā)應急禮盒

A Finnish city is handing out "survival packs" to new students, taking inspiration from the country's famous baby starter boxes.
芬蘭一座城市給新生派發(fā)“應急禮包”，靈感來自芬蘭著名的新生兒大禮包“育嬰寶盒”。

The city of Lahti has packaged up a selection of essentials for new arrivals to its universities and colleges, helped by contributions from local businesses, national broadcaster Yle reports. More than 1,000 students have received one of the kits so far. And just like the parcels given to expectant mothers across the country, Lahti's offering comes in a modest cardboard box.
據芬蘭廣播公司（Yle）報道，拉赫蒂（Lahti）市的大學和學院為新生挑選和打包了一些必備品，這些必備品由當地企業(yè)贊助。目前，已有1000余名學生領取了禮盒。和贈送給芬蘭全國的準媽媽的“育嬰寶盒”一樣，應急禮盒也采用硬紙板箱包裝，看上去并不起眼。

Among the items new students will find inside is a bus pass for trips around the city, some locally produced sheets and socks, and a pack of porridge, Yle says. Students can also tuck into the popular Nordic snack salmiakki - a sour, salty liquorice. The survival pack is meant to introduce students to the delights of Lahti while also serving as a marketing opportunity for businesses in the city.
芬蘭廣播公司報道稱，“應急禮盒”里有一張市內公交卡、當地制造的床單與襪子還有一罐粥。學生們還可以盡情享用芬蘭人氣零食salmiakki——一種酸中帶咸的甘草糖。這個應急禮盒不僅向新生展現了拉赫蒂的獨特風情，也為當地企業(yè)打了個廣告。

"There has been some swapping going on," says Mari Rosberg from Lahti University of Applied Sciences, adding that someone was willing to swap their porridge for some ice hockey tickets. Ms Rosberg adds that other cities have also been in touch to enquire about the kits.
拉赫蒂應用科學大學（Lahti University of Applied Sciences）的瑪麗?羅斯伯格（Mari Rosberg）說：“有的學生用禮盒里的物品以物易物。”她表示，有人愿意拿自己的粥交換冰球比賽門票。羅斯伯格還說，其他城市也紛紛聯(lián)系他們打聽禮盒的事情。

While Yle reports that students have been giving the box "rave reviews", local newspaper Etela-Suomen Sanomat has a few ideas for some useful additions. After 900 reports of bicycle thefts in Lahti last year, the paper thinks a bike lock would be pretty handy. And given many students' fondness for a drink, they suggest a bottle of fizzy orange pop is included as a guaranteed hangover cure.
芬蘭廣播公司報道稱，應急禮盒被學生“瘋狂點贊”。不過，當地的《南芬蘭日報》（Etela-Suomen Sanomat，以下簡稱《日報》）建議禮盒增加一些有用的工具。鑒于去年拉赫蒂市接到900起單車盜竊的報告，《日報》覺得一把單車鎖能免去不少煩惱。另外，由于不少學生喜歡喝上幾杯，《日報》建議禮盒內容添加一瓶橘子汽水，當作解酒利器。
