请看《中国日报》的报道:
A measure implemented by a marriage registry in Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi province, that limits the number of divorce registrations to no more than 15 per day, known as the "row number”, has received support and opposition alike from local residents.
陕西省西安市的一家民政局实施离婚“限号”,每天办理的离婚登记“排号”不超过15个,当地居民对这一政策既有表示支持的,也有持反对态度的。
离婚登记的“排号”英文表达是row number,人们对“排号”并不陌生,因为买房买车看病都要排号,不过离婚排号倒是件新鲜事。
这家marriage registry office(民政局)表示,他们并不是要干涉婚姻自由,而是想save some couples who try to divorce in anger and on impulse(挽救因一时意气离婚的夫妇)。
