1 / Airlines offer discounts 

多家航企推'随心飞'套餐

Domestic airlines in China rolled out ticket discount packages under the banner of "fly at will" one after another recently, in the hope of recouping money and boosting consumption affected by COVID-19 outbreak. 

国内航空公司近日纷纷推出"随心飞"机票折扣套餐，希望收复现金流，提振被新冠肺炎疫情影响的航空消费。

China Eastern Airlines, China Express and Hainan Airlines all announced their versions of "fly at will". These packages priced at around 3,000 yuan allow passengers to book a domestic flight (except to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) for free and without a limitation on time slot and number of journeys in a given period of time. 

东方航空、华夏航空和海南航空都推出了各自版本的"随心飞"产品。这种套餐价格在3000元左右，购买后旅客可以在有效期内免费乘坐所属航司的任意国内航班，飞往除港澳台之外的国内各大城市，不限次数，不限时段。

According to the Civil Administration of Aviation, the country saw 935,200 passengers and 10,570 flights daily in early June, recovering to 57.4% and 66.11% over the same period last year.

据民航局资料显示，6月初，民航日均运输旅客达到93.52万人次，日均航班量达到10570架次，恢复至去年同期的57.4%、66.11%。

2 / Louvre reopens its doors

卢浮宫博物馆重新开放

The Louvre museum in Paris, home to the Mona Lisa, has reopened Monday after the government allowed French museums and historic sites to reopen their doors following the coronavirus shutdown. 

法国政府近日允许该国因新冠病毒而关闭的博物馆和历史古迹重新开放，7月6日，巴黎卢浮宫博物馆重新开放。卢浮宫是《蒙娜丽莎》真迹的馆藏地。

Since its closure on March 13, the Louvre has "lost more than 40 million euros", its director Jean-Luc Martinez said. After the reopening, visitors need to make an online reservation for a visit, use hand disinfectant at the entrance, have temperatures taken before entering, and visitors above 11 years old must wear masks during visitation. 

卢浮宫博物馆馆长让－吕克·马丁内斯表示，自从3月13日关闭以来，卢浮宫已损失了超过4000万欧元(约合人民币3.18亿元)。卢浮宫重开后实行网络预约参观制，游客入场前需在入口处使用手部消毒剂并测量体温，11岁以上游客须全程戴口罩参观。

In addition, the museum only accepts payment by card, not cash. Fast food and locker services are temporarily closed. Positions have been marked in front of the Mona Lisa - where tourists routinely pose for selfies - to ensure social distancing.

此外，博物馆只接受刷卡支付，不收现金，快餐和存储服务暂不开放。鉴于游客们经常在《蒙娜丽莎》画作前自拍，博物馆还在该画作前设置了标记，以确保参观者保持安全距离。
