(南韓)總統文在寅週三為財政部官員舉辦罕見的披薩派對。青瓦台外送350張披薩至位於世宗市的企劃財政部,還有數百瓶汽水和副食。

The pizza party, the first of its kind thrown by Moon, was to celebrate the passage of the 428.8 trillion won budget for 2018, and a bill for tax reform, at the National Assembly on Wednesday. "It is also a gift to encourage the officials to continue to work hard on stabilizing the economy and household debt," a Cheong Wa Dae official said.

此乃文在寅首度舉辦這種披薩派對,旨在慶祝國會週三通過2018年度的428.8兆韓元預算及一項稅改案。一位青瓦台官員說,「這場餐會也是一份禮物,用以鼓勵該部同仁繼續在穩定經濟和家庭債務上努力」。

The bills got final endorsement after days of fierce debate between the ruling and opposition parties. Cheong Wa Dae said the pizza party cost 4 million won. It bought the pizzas at Pizza Maru, a local brand with 530 outlets across the country.

歷經執政與在野黨間數日的激辯後,這些議案終獲通過。青瓦台表示,這些披薩共花400萬韓元,向在全國擁有530家門市的本土品牌「Pizza Maru」訂購。
