舍车求马 印度尼西亚一官员每天骑马上班

　　An Indonesian official, heeding a government call to conserve energy, exchanged his car for a more ecologically-friendly means of transport -- a horse.

　　"I am doing this because of the presidential instruction," said G.S. Anas, who heads the administration section of the South Sulawesi Plantation Office in the provincial capital of Makassar.

　　Another reason was that he was "too lazy to queue for fuel at the fuel station", said Anas, also the head of the South Sulawesi Horse Breeders' Association, according to the Detikcom online news service.

　　His chauffeur, who usually drives him to the office, rode alongside him for the two-kilometre (1.2 mile) trip, the report said.

　　Indonesian cities have been hit by a recent fuel shortage, leading to long queues at fuel stations that often run out of petrol.

　　President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono last weekend called on all government bodies, including the military and police, to lower energy consumption.

　　Yudhoyono's call has seen public servants ride bicycles to work, curtail air conditioning use and shed their business suits in favour of lighter clothing, such as batik shirts.

　　为响应政府的节能号召，印度尼西亚一位名叫阿纳斯的官员将自己的专车换成了马，每天骑马上班。

　　据法新社7月13日报道，身为南苏拉威西岛森林办公室的行政部门主管，阿纳斯对记者说：“现在，我每天骑马上班，这样做是为了响应总统的号召。” 同时，阿纳斯还表示，自己不愿意为自己的爱车排队加油。

　　而阿纳斯的司机如今也只能骑马随主人走上两公里的路程。阿纳斯还是苏拉威西岛马饲养者协会的成员。

　　报道说，印尼的城市近段时间出现严重的燃料短缺，从而导致加油站前时常因供油不足而排起长龙。总统苏西洛于上周号召包括军队和警察在内的全体政府部门降低能源消耗。为响应总统号召，许多公务员们每天骑自行车上班，并开始减少空调的使用，同时也将工作装换成了蜡染衬衫等轻便服装 。
