Officials face removal from their posts if they are found overspending on vehicles, receptions and overseas trips, according to new regulation released on Monday. 周一发布的《机关事务管理条例》规定，将给予三公（公务招待、公车、及因公出国）消费超支的官员撤职的处分。 上面报道中的overspend就是“超支”，即花费超过预算，类似用法还有overspend one's income（入不敷出）。“三公”即“公务招待、公车、及因公出国”，英文用“official receptions, vehicles and overseas trips”来表示。新条例规定须将三公消费纳入预算，超支或是misappropriates funds from other budget items（挪用其他预算资金）用于三公消费的官员可能面临demotion（降级）或removal from post（撤职）处分。 在公车使用方面，条例规定不得retain more official vehicles than the allowed quota（超编制配备公务用车）、不得spending more than allowed on official cars（超标准配备公务用车）、不得为公务用车增加high-grade configuration（高档配置）或者豪华interior decoration（内饰）等。
