针对“政府请客，百姓埋单，明星发财”的“公款追星”现象，国务院日前严令政府节庆活动不得请演艺明星。此外，公款旅游、超标准公务接待、修建豪华办公楼等奢侈现象也在纠风清理之列。

请看外电相关报道：China has banned local governments from splashing out on pop stars to boost state-funded ceremonies as part of its latest drive against graft¹, local media said on Wednesday.

The State Council, China's cabinet, also ordered officials to crack down on extravagant² spending ontourist junkets, elaborate receptions and luxurious³ offices, the Beijing Morning Post said.

日常，我们可能会用“a trip/tour at public expense”来形容“公费（款）旅游”，不过，外电中的“tourist junket/junket”更侧重指“政府官员拿公款旅游（a trip/tour made by an official at public expense）”。

“Junket”本是一种“乳冻干酪”，后引申指“郊游、旅游、社交聚会”。现代意义上的“junket”更常用来形容“公司行政人员/政府官员的公费旅游”。

此外，在国外娱乐报刊杂志上，“junket”一词出现的频率也特高。“A movie junket”或“a film's press junket”常用来形容“电影上映之前举行的记者招待会”。
