RESIDENTS PREPARE FOR CHINESE NEW YEAR

年味满城，转眼春节到！

As the Year of the Tiger approaches, a number of tiger-related decorations are selling well in advance of the holiday. The tiger is a traditional symbol of good luck and vigor【元气】in Chinese culture.

农历虎年即将到来，各式“虎”饰品成了抢手年货。在中国传统文化中，“虎” 代表着幸运和奋发向上的精神。

At Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai, many came to shop for Chinese New Year decorations over the weekend, such as tiger dolls and hangings【挂件】, as well as tiger lanterns.

DJOKOVIC’S AUSTRALIAN VISA CANCELLATION OVERTURNED

反转来了? 德约科维奇能否参加澳网仍是未知数

Tennis star Novak Djokovic can remain in Australia to play in the Australian Open after the Federal Court overturned the government’s decision to cancel his visa. Djokovic had his visa canceled last week when Australian border officials【边检】at Melbourne Airport ruled that he did Not meet the criteria to be allowed into the country.

今天（1月10日）澳大利亚联邦法庭裁定，撤销澳大利亚政府取消德约科维奇签证的决定。网球巨星德约科维奇被获准入境，为澳网做准备。据报道，德约科维奇于上周，在墨尔本机场，因不符合入境防疫要求而被澳方边检通知取消签证。

After four nights in an Australian immigration detention hotel, Djokovic got his day in court today in a deportation hearing. The Australian government today claimed that Australia had announced the vaccination requirements in advance, but the Australian Open chief said the information was confusing.

今天上午（1月10日），德约科维奇前往法庭出席听证会。此前，他已经在澳洲移民署辖下的隔离旅店度过了四晚。澳大利亚政府今天声称早已明确告知了最新防疫要求，而澳网方面则表示得到的信息相当混乱。

“But in relation to the government, our government, the Federal Government’s advice to Tennis Australia, that was set out very clearly in November. And I read the extract from this very podium. It could not be more clear.”联邦政府在去年11月就已经告知澳网方面相关（防疫）政策。这是再清楚不过的事。

“Well, we’re not going to lay the blame on【归咎于】anyone. All I can say that primarily because there’s much conflict and information, much contradictory information the whole time. Every single week we were talking to Home Affairs.”我不想指责任何人。但我们收到的信息有太多的冲突和矛盾。我们每周都在和内政部保持联系。

Federal Circuit Court Judge Anthony Kelly based the ruling on the fact that the government’s decision to cancel Djokovic’s visa after his arrival in Melbourne last Wednesday was given with insufficient notice. Kelly ordered the release of Djokovic from detention no more than 30 minutes after the ruling. Djokovic had his visa canceled after arriving at Melbourne airport last week when Australian border officials ruled that he didn’t meet the criteria for an exemption to an entry requirement that mandates all non-Australian citizens be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Djokovic’s mother said that the conditions in the isolation hotel are worse than a prison.

联邦巡回法庭法官认为撤销德约科维奇签证的程序不正确，因此裁决撤销令无效。澳大利亚政府必须在裁决做出的半小时内，解除对德约科维奇的拘留。上周，德约科维奇抵达墨尔本机场后被告知，因未能按澳方防疫要求提供新冠疫苗接种证明，而支持他入境签证的"医学豁免"也无正当理由，因此他的签证被撤销，并随后被转移到这家收容难民的旅店暂住。德约科维奇的母亲控诉，隔离旅店的条件连监狱都不如。

迪亚娜/德约科维奇的母亲

Even in a real prison, prisoners get three meals a day, and they are also let out for a walk, and he can’t even do that. He is just staring at some wall. There is no real window.犯人们还可以出去散散步。但德约科维奇却做不到，他只能看着墙壁。房间里连扇真正的窗户都没有。

Despite the tennis star’s successful appeal, it remains unclear if he would be permitted to defend his title at the upcoming Australian Open.

虽然德约科维奇已经“重获自由”，但由于澳政府仍保留将其驱逐的权利，这位世界冠军是否能够成功卫冕还是一个未知数。
