奧地利近日推出了世界第一款衛(wèi)生紙郵票，這款用衛(wèi)生紙做成的郵票是用來紀念疫情期間的恐慌性購物和封鎖令。郵票上印著象寶寶的圖案，提醒人們保持社交距離。

If 2020 could take the form of an object, it would surely be toilet paper.

如果用一個實物來代表2020年，那一定是廁紙。

Not only has this year been crappy, but reports of people hoarding toilet paper in large quantities during the coronavirus pandemic will live in the memories of many.

這不僅是糟糕的一年，而且有關(guān)人們在新冠疫情期間大量囤積廁紙的報道會深植在許多人的記憶中。

Or so some in Austria seem to think: On Friday, the country's postal service announced it is issuing a postage stamp made from three-ply toilet paper, to commemorate one of the year's stranger phenomenona.

至少奧地利的某些人似乎是這么認為的。上周五（10月23日）奧地利郵政宣布，將發(fā)行一款由三層廁紙制成的郵票，來紀念今年的奇怪現(xiàn)象之一。

Each stamp, measuring just under four inches in length, will be the size and shape of a standard sheet of toilet paper, Austria Post said Friday.

奧地利郵政上周五稱，每一枚郵票長度將近4英寸（10厘米），與標準廁紙的大小和形狀一樣。

Customers can even use the stamps to enforce social distancing -- 10 stamps lined up next to each other measure one meter, the recommended social distance in some countries.

顧客可以用這款郵票來踐行社交隔離。10枚郵票連在一起長度為1米，也就是某些國家推薦的社交距離。

Meanwhile, the stamps are illustrated with a picture of a baby elephant -- another national reminder of the recommended one meter distance.

與此同時，郵票上印著象寶寶的圖案，奧地利用一頭小象的長度來提醒民眾保持一米距離。

The stamps, which can be torn off the stamp block along a perforated line just like toilet paper, come complete with a self adhesive foil, and retail at €2.75, Austria Post said in a statement.

奧地利郵政在一份聲明中稱，這款郵票可以像廁紙一樣沿著穿孔線撕下，還帶有自粘箔紙，零售價為2.75歐元（約合人民幣22元）。

The postal service will be releasing 300,000 stamps on October 30, and for each block sold, €2.75 will be donated to charity, Austria Post said in a statement.

奧地利郵政在聲明中稱，郵政公司將于10月30日發(fā)行30萬張新冠紀念郵票，每賣出一版，就會向慈善機構(gòu)捐贈2.75歐元。

"With the Corona stamp, we not only want to issue an original stamp block to remember this year, but also to support those who have been particularly affected by this crisis," Austria Post CEO Georg P?lzl said in a statement.

奧地利郵政首席執(zhí)行官格奧爾格·波爾茨爾在聲明中稱：“我們推出這款新冠郵票，不僅是為了發(fā)行一款紀念2020年的原創(chuàng)郵票，也是為了支持那些在這次危機中受創(chuàng)最嚴重的人?！?/p>
