快递柜运营商丰巢自从宣布5月1日起停止免费寄存服务后就饱受批评（戳这里回顾）。据中国日报网报道，因为很多包裹都是未经收件人同意就投放到快递柜中，所以这样的收费措施引发用户不满。在消费者权益相关部门干预下，丰巢于5月20日起实施新政策。快递人员必须征得收件人同意才能将包裹放置在快递柜中。丰巢也将免费寄存时长从12小时延长到18小时。

China’s largest self-service parcel locker operator, Hive Box, has drawn public criticism since it announced they would stop providing free storage of express delivery packages starting from May 1. The policy sparked outrage among users since many packages are delivered to the smart lockers without getting the consent of recipients, according to China Daily. After interventions from consumers rights authorities, Hive Box implemented a new pricing policy from May 20. Deliverymen will only deposit parcels in the lockers after getting consumers’ consent. Hive Box has also extended the free storage duration from 12 hours to 18 hours.

马上学：Parcel作名词，表示“包裹，快递”，近义词为package。常见搭配有send a package (寄快递)，receive/collect a package (取快递)，collect the package (去快递柜取件)。

五月初开始，很多国家开始逐渐解除了疫情期间的封锁措施。5月16日，意大利宣布计划从6月开始解除国内封锁。然而，世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞在5月11日表示，各国仍然需要对病毒保持警惕。为了保护生命和生计，关键是要采取“缓慢稳妥的解封”措施。

Many countries have gradually lifted lockdowns since early May. On May 16, Italy announced that they plan to reopen their internal borders in June. However, as the Director-General of the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on May 11, countries still need to keep a vigilant eye on the virus. To protect lives and livelihoods, it’s essential to implement “a slow, steady lifting of lockdowns”, Ghebreyesus said.

马上学：Lift作动词，在本文中意为“解除，缓解，撤销”，常见搭配有lift a ban (解除禁令)，lift restrictions (撤销限制)，lift out of poverty (摆脱贫困)。Lift本意为“举起，升高”，常见搭配有：lift off (火箭、飞机等起飞、升空)，lift up (举起、抬起)。
