Hong Kong Prisons Face Staff Shortage, Now Hiring
.
Summary:
With about 200 correctional officers likely to take leave this year, Hong Kong Correctional Services have switched from recruiting twice a year to all year round, and are scrambling to find new recruits to fill about 400 positions, 350 of which are junior and the rest are senior.

Language Enhancement:
Scramble (v.)(攀登／爭搶／匆忙地做事)
這個動詞有多個意思，核心字義是以一個手腳並用或急忙的形式，爬上某障礙物、衝向某地點、趕往爭奪某物（長洲的搶包山因此是 bun scrambling）、或是匆忙地做某事。它也有兩個相對地特殊的用法：如果用於煮食場合，則是指「炒蛋」scrambled egg；如果用於軍事場合，則是戰機的「緊急起飛」。
e.g. I quickly brushed my teeth and scrambled into my clothes this morning because my alarm clock wasn’t set to ring.
e.g. We scrambled up the mountain as fast as we could because we hadn’t accounted for the amount of sunlight we had left in the day.
