Shanghai is about to embrace the World Expo, a six-month celebration of domestic and global innovation - and the city's residents are already big winners.

　　上海世博临近，本市居民将成为第一批大赢家。

　　City Party Secretary Yu Zhengsheng has unveiled a package that includes two extra public holidays and free Expo tickets and transport cards for every permanent Shanghai family.

　　市委书记俞正声宣布了一项政策：每位上海市常住居民都有2天额外假期，并能获赠世博园门票和一张交通卡。

　　The State Council, China's Cabinet, has allowed Shanghai two more public holidays, on April 30 and May 4, in part to ease the traffic burden when the Expo starts.

　　国务院也允许上海实施额外假期政策，以避免交通压力过大。
