<> - More business travelers flying economy

Increasing numbers of business travelers are foregoing executive-class seats and flying economy. Airline revenues from business and first class tickets were down by at least one-quarter in January from the same month a year ago, due to lower demand amid gloomy economic prospects. Economy travel demand has also slumped in response to the global financial crisis, but at a slower rate than the premium segment airlines depend on for their bottom line.

일반석 탑승하는 출장 여행객 많아져
비즈니스 클래스 대신 이코노미 클래스를 이용하는 출장 여행객 수가 늘고 있다. 경기 전망이 좋지 않은 가운데 수요가 감소하면서 지난 1월에는 비즈니스와 퍼스트 클래스 항공권 판매로 인한 항공사 매출이 작년 동기 대비 4분의 1이상 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 전 세계적인 금융 위기로 인해 이코노미 클래스에 대한 수요도 주춤했지만, 항공사가 순익을 의존하고 있는 프리미엄 등급 좌석에 대한 수요보다는 감소율이 덜했다.

<> - Police hot-wire sleepy drivers with chili

Police in southwest China are spicing up drivers with raw chili in a bid to stop them falling asleep at the wheel, a newspaper said. Police in the Chongqing region have started serving drivers chili peppers at highway service stations, holding to the traditional Chinese belief that people often feel sleepier in the spring. Most of the drivers are from neighboring Sichuan and Hunan provinces, where chilies are a local favorite.

중국 서남부 충칭지역 경찰이 졸음운전을 막기 위해 생고추를 운전자들에게 제공하고 있다고 한 신문이 전했다. 봄철에는 더 노곤하다는 중국의 전통적인 믿음에 근거해, 이 지역 경찰이 고속도로 휴게소에서 운전자들에게 매운 고추를 제공하기 시작한 것. 이 지역을 지나는 운전자들 대부분은 매운 고추를 좋아하는 인근 쓰촨성과 후난성에서 온 사람들이다.
