preferential policy

优待政策

(yōudài zhènɡcè) 

A: I'm so angry. I was watching TV the other day and saw a report that said that an old retired soldier tried to use his military disability permit to buy a ticket for the bus and not only was he refused, the driver yelled at him! 

真是气死我了。我那天看电视说有个退伍老兵用军残证买票乘车,不仅被拒绝,还被司机辱骂！

(zhēnshì qìsǐ wǒle. wǒ nàtiān kàndiànshì shuō yǒuɡè tuìwǔlǎobīnɡ yònɡ jūncánzhènɡ mǎi piàochénɡchē, bùjǐn bèijùjué, háibèi sījī rǔmà.) 

B: How did something like this happen?

怎么还有这种事儿？

(zěnme háiyǒu zhèzhǒnɡ shìér?)

A: There has always been a preferential policy for retired military using public transport.  

本来乘坐公交就是有针对退役军人的优待政策。

(běnlái chénɡzuò ɡōnɡjiāo jiùshì yǒu zhēnduì tuìyìjūnrénde yōudài zhènɡcè.)

B: Yeah. If it weren't for these heroes struggling forward under heavy burdens, how would we have the peace we have today?

是啊。没有这些英雄的负重前行,哪来的大家的安居乐业？

(shìa. méiyǒu zhèxiē yīnɡxiónɡde fùzhònɡ qiánxínɡ, nǎláide dàjiāde ānjūlèyè?)

A: This matter should be seriously dealt with. 

这个事情应该严肃处理。

(zhèɡè shìqínɡ yīnɡɡāi yánsù chǔlǐ.)
