释义

名词

一组用于识别每一栋楼的六位数邮政编号。

DEFINITION

Noun

A set of six-digit numbers used to identify buildings or postal districts. 

由来
  • 英语 “postal code” 的意译。它是一种源自英国的划分区域的方式，以方便邮差准确地派送邮件。
  • 1950年代，新加坡最早的邮区号码为两位数号码，一共划分成28个邮区。
  • 1979年，新加坡邮区号码增至四位数。
  • 1995年，新加坡采用了六位数的邮区号码。前两个数字取自旧时四位数邮区号码中的倒数两个数字，而最后四个数字则代表邮区的投递点。这四个数字取自组屋的大牌或大楼的座号。
  • 1995年，为了纪念六位数邮政编码的使用，新加坡邮政推出两款印有邮政编码演变过程的邮票。
  • 到了1999年三月底，六位数邮区号码的使用率已高达98%。  
  • 在新加坡，邮区号码在日常生活中扮演着重要的角色，可用来寻找某个地方，或用于办理户籍、入学、房屋等事宜。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “邮区号码” is a paraphrase of the English term “postal code”. This method of demarcating and labelling districts originated from the United Kingdom, to help postmen deliver mail accurately.
  • In the 1950s, Singapore’s earliest postal codes were two-digit numbers, and the island was divided into 28 postal districts.
  • In 1979, postal codes in Singapore expanded to four digits.
  • In 1995, Singapore adopted six-digit postal codes. The first two digits are identical to the last two digits used in the preceding four-digit system, while the last four digits represent the points of delivery in the postal districts. These four digits are taken either from the block numbers of HDB flats or the identification numbers of buildings.
  • In 1995, to mark the launch of six-digit postal codes, Singapore Post rolled out two stamp designs depicting the evolution of postal codes.
  • By the end of March 1999, the usage rate of the six-digit postal codes had reached 98%.
  • In Singapore, postal codes are used not just for addressing mail and locating buildings, but also for residential registration, school enrolment, housing and other matters.

SAMPLE SENTENCE
