They’re calling it Nanjing’s Physical Examination; an annual health check up performed not by physicians, but by us. And everyone is welcome to take part. But be warned that it is both long and at times requests information some would wish to keep to themselves.
他们称之为南京体检；每年一次的健康检查不是由医生而是由我们进行。欢迎大家参加。但请注意，它很长，而且有时会要求一些人希望保留自己的信息。
How are the roads in your area? Do you think historic areas are protected? Are your local facilities convenient for seniors? Do you think water pollution is serious? What about PM2.5 levels and our urban greenways? Is our City child friendly? Are there sufficient charging piles in your community?
您所在地区的道路状况如何？您认为历史地区受到保护吗？你们当地的设施对老年人来说方便吗？您认为水污染严重吗？ PM2.5 水平和我们的城市绿道怎么样？我们的城市对儿童友好吗？您所在社区的充电桩充足吗？
Nanjing Daily announced the survey’s launch in a news report early this morning. Conducted annually since 2019, over 25,000 responses were collected last year, to give a score of 85.22 points, up nearly 3 points on the previous year. Sounds like, as a city, Nanjing is doing OK.
南京日报今天凌晨在新闻报道中宣布启动这项调查。自2019年起每年开展一次，去年共收集超过25,000份回复，得分为85.22分，较上年提高近3分。听起来，作为一个城市，南京做得还不错。
There are two parts to the survey; a section which invites personalised responses where opinions may be entered as text, and an 83-question multiple choice survey, covering just about every last aspect of living in Nanjing.
调查分为两部分；一个邀请个性化回答的部分，其中意见可以作为文本输入，还有一个包含 83 个问题的多项选择调查，几乎涵盖了南京生活的方方面面。
A large proportion of the survey relates to the communities where we live, the quality of services provided therein and the various facilities located nearby.
调查的很大一部分涉及我们居住的社区、社区提供的服务质量以及附近的各种设施。
Then there is the quality of the buildings in which we live, whether they are in frequent need of repair and whether there are safety hazards.
然后就是我们居住的建筑物的质量，是否需要经常维修，是否存在安全隐患。
The questions, which are admirably thorough, it has to be said, also raise eyebrows from time to time:
不得不说，这些问题非常彻底，但也不时引起人们的注意：
37. Do zombie cars occupy parking spaces?
44. Does your local kindergarten over charge?
55. Has any resident in your building demolished a load-bearing wall?
37. 僵尸车占用停车位吗？ 44.你们当地的幼儿园收费过高吗？ 55.您所在的大楼里有住户拆除过承重墙吗？
The Nanjinger also notes that the survey allows for foreigners too, but only in so far as question 79; “What is your household registration?”, in which the fourth and final multiple-choice option is “foreign nationality”. Other than that, foreigners don’t get a look in.
《南京人》还指出，该调查也允许外国人参加，但仅限于第79题； “你的户籍是什么？”，其中第四个也是最后一个多项选择是“外国国籍”。除此之外，外国人是看不到的。
The survey is also bereft of an English version, but to be honest, that would be asking too much.
该调查也没有英文版本，但说实话，这要求太高了。
Readers should be forewarned that the survey includes questions relating to their family’s total annual income, age, gender and education level.
应预先提醒读者，该调查包括与家庭年总收入、年龄、性别和教育水平有关的问题。
