全国首辆动物救护车难上路 没有车牌等待摇号

Recently, China's first non-profit ambulance for stray animals has sparked public debate.

最近，中国首辆非盈利的流浪动物救护车引发了公众的热议。

Hindered by the license plate quota in Beijing, the ambulance applied for special approval from the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transportation (BMCT).

受北京牌照配额限制，救护车向北京市交通委员会（BMCT）申请特别批准。

However, the latter rejected the application, claiming that all vehicles must obtain licenses by drawing lots, a standard procedure for Beijing residents to get new cars licensed.

然而，后者拒绝了申请，声称所有车辆必须通过抽签获得许可证，这是北京居民获得新车许可的标准程序。

The ambulance, Modified from a van, cost 650,000 yuan ($96,466), which was donated by more than 8,000 warm-hearted netizens.

救护车是由一辆面包车改装的，花费共计约65万元（96466美元），是来自8000多名热心网友的捐赠。

Firm in their belief that there is no difference between stray animals and pets, the Ta Foundation, which runs the ambulance service, is endeavoring to provide high-quality medical services to Beijing's many stray animals.

他们坚信流浪动物和宠物之间没有区别，运行救护车服务的“它基金”正在努力为北京的很多流浪动物提供高质量的医疗服务。

The Ta Foundation faces a likelihood of 1:33 for winning a license. BMCT told Beijing Morning Post that all non-operational vehicles must acquire license plates through the lottery, and that there's no special approval for anyone.

“它基金”面临获得许可证的可能性为1:33。据北京市交通委员会向《北京晨报》透露，所有非经营性的车辆必须通过摇号获得牌照，任何人都没有特殊批准。

Some people believe the ambulance should go through the standard process; otherwise it could create a precedent for non-profit vehicles to pull strings for special approval.

有些人认为救护车应该经过标准程序；否则可能创造非营利车辆暗箱操作获得特别批准的先例。

Meanwhile, others believe that since such animal ambulances are already prevalent in other countries, China's first one should be put into service as soon as possible.

与此同时，其他一些人则认为，由于这种动物救护车在其他国家已经普遍存在，中国首辆救护车应该尽快投入使用。

An experienced veterinarian named An Mengchen said that the ambulance would not only benefit stray animals, but would also be a beautiful reflection of humanity.

安梦辰，一位经验丰富的兽医表示，救护车不仅对流浪动物有益，也是人性的美好体现。

"The ambulance is a good form of publicity that corrects people's misunderstandings about stray animals," he added.

他补充说道：“救护车是一种良好的宣传形式，纠正了人们对流浪动物的误解。”
