小徑特約茶室展示館開幕啟用

The so called "831" or "Military Paradise" located in Xiao-Jing (小徑), was reopened on November 12 and renamed the "Contract Teahouse (1) Museum" by the Kinmen National Park Headquarters. In the future, it will be managed by Xiao-Jing Community Development Association.
　 位在小徑的「八三么」、「軍樂園」，已經由金門國家公園管理處改建為「特約茶室展示館」，並於12日開幕啟用；未來將由小徑社區發展協會負責管理。

According to Kinmen National Park Headquarters, in 1949-a time when the KMT army retreated to Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu, some 50,000 troops were deployed to Kinmen, with most of them living with civilians, or in ancestral shrines, temples, and deserted houses. As trouble would inevitably arise between males and females on the island when the boundary between the military and civilians was not clear, the General Political Warfare Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense (MND) decided to establish a few "Military Paradises" in Peng-Hu for a trial run. Later in 1951, the MND set up the first "Military Paradise" near Zhuzi Shrine in Kinmen. "Military Paradise" was renamed "Contract Teahouse" somewhere between 1950 and 1960, and finally became history with the passing of time.
　 根據金門國家公園管理處的說明，民國三十八年國軍退守台澎金馬。初期，金門駐紮了五萬多兵力，大部分借住民房、祠堂、廟宇或空屋。由於軍民雜處，難免衍生男女感情糾紛；後來，國防部總政戰部最先在澎湖試辦「軍中樂園」，又於民國四十年在金門朱子祠附近設立金門第一座「軍中樂園」。「軍中樂園」於民國四十到五十年間，易名為「特約茶室」；後來又隨著時代變遷，走入歷史。
【註解】
●1. teahouse-(n)茶室、茶館。就其字面上原指提供茶飲與輕食的處所。但台灣的「茶室」以及本文中的「特約茶室」，指的都是「特種場所」。在英譯的過程中，原本可以選擇brothel、cathouse等字眼，但考量這樣的翻譯太過於「直接」。另有一項選擇是Gentlemen's Club，原來指的是18世紀廣泛流行於英國的紳士俱樂部，後來演變成聲色場所的委婉說法但考量Gentlemen's Club尚有背後的政治意涵，因此本文最終仍選擇以「茶室」的字面意義來進行翻譯。
