Moon-cake Gambling Game Starts September 8
中秋博狀元餅8日正式啟動 The Year 2010 Kinmen Mid-Autumn Moon-cake Gambling Game will begin on September 8th. It will then be followed by a series of preliminary (1) competitions among various townships with the finale (2) taking place at the "Qing Dynasty's Quemoy Troops Headquarters" on September 22nd. Both locals and visitors are welcome to join and try their luck in this great event. 「2010金門中秋博狀元餅」活動,將於九月八日正式啟動,並陸續在鄉鎮展開鄉鎮賽,九月二十二日則在總兵署進行最後總決賽,歡迎鄉親和觀光客共襄盛舉試手氣。 So, during Mid-Autumn festival, what are the unique traditional events in Kinmen that are different from other places? Wishing to enjoy the Mid-Autumn festival in a whole new way? A visit to Kinmen will guarantee you an eye-opening experience! 在金門,中秋節不同於其他地區的傳統活動有哪些?想要在中秋節這天有著和以往不一樣的體驗,來金門一定會讓你有耳目一新的感受。 This Moon-cake (also named "Zhuang-yuan Cake") gambling custom has been a part of Kinmen culture for at least 300 years now. This unique custom tacitly (3) transforms a simple dice game into a game which encourages people to pursue a higher rank in the ancient imperial (4) examination. 博狀元餅的歷史,在金門至少已經流傳了三百多年。它巧妙的將骰子戲轉化成鼓勵進取功名的遊戲。 In ancient time, Kinmen, which was subordinate to (5) Tongan county, had been a place that was well-known for its great achievement in tackling (6) the imperial examination. "There would be no Tongan without Kinmen; there would be no ground where Kinmenese cannot stand steady," says an old proverb. The barren (7) soil in Kinmen had been a motivator which pushed Kinmenese to eagerly participate in the imperial examination in the desire of a better life. It is alleged that in order to introduce the imperial examination system more properly to the fellow folks, the inventor of this gambling game had then named the six combinations of six die based on the six ranks in the examination system including Zhuang-yuan, Bang-yan, Tan-hua, Jin-shi, Ju-ren, and Xiu-cai. During every Mid-Autumn festival, family members and friends would gather in circle eager to play this game. The strategy of getting Zhuan-gyuan, the highest among all six ranks, on the very first roll of the die, is both entertaining and educational. This is also one of the Moon-cake gambling legendary events during Mid-Autumn festival. 金門自古隸屬在同安縣的時代,就以科甲功名傳世,有所謂「無金不成同,無地不開花」的俗諺流傳,金門的土地貧瘠,使得金門子孫勇往科舉謀取功名以改善生活,為了讓家鄉的人們都能熟識科舉制度,於是將六個骰子分別代表古代科舉制度中的狀元、榜眼、探花、進士、舉人、秀才等六階級。每凡中秋節,家人朋友團團圍坐,不免摩拳擦掌玩上一把,一舉「狀元」的趣味,既有趣又富寓教於樂。這也是中秋「博狀元餅」的傳說之一。 This year, the grand opening ceremony of Moon-cake Gambling Game is set for 6:00 pm on September 8th at the front road of BeiZhen Temple. There will be 99 tables prepared, corresponding to the 99th anniversary of this nation, with an estimated one-thousand participants to join the fun. From September 11th to 21st, the preliminary competitions will take place in various townships for locals and visitors who wish to participate. And to close the festival on September 22nd, a grand finale will be held at the "Qing Dynasty's Quemoy Troops Headquarters." The first place winner, also known as "Zhuang-yuan prize", will receive a car; the second place winner (Bang-yan) a laptop; and the third place winner an electric scooter (Tan-hua). Besides playing the actual game, CISA(Information Service Industry Association of R.O.C. has also designed an online game, named "Moon-cake Gambling in Kinmen", which would bring all the Taiwanese citizens together to experience the fun and try their luck in Kinmen Moon-cake Gambling via the world-wide-web (http://www.kinwar.com.tw/fighting/). 今年博餅賽程定於9月8日下午6時假「北鎮廟」前街道舉辦盛大開幕賽,配合民國99年,將於現場安排99桌,預計有上千民眾可參與體驗。9月11日至21日為鄉鎮賽,提供鄉親及觀光客登記參加資格賽。壓軸好戲總決賽於9月22日在總兵署舉行。最大獎是「狀元獎」,轎車一輛;第二名榜眼筆記型電腦;第三名探花環保電動車。除了實體博餅賽,中華民國資訊軟體協會還特別設計「絕讚金門、博餅大賽」網路博餅賽,全台灣的遊客即日起可透過網路(http://www.kinwar.com.tw/fighting/)小試身手,一同感受金門博餅樂趣。 【註解】 ●1. preliminary-(adj.)初步的、開端的;預備的。此處preliminary competitions指「預賽」。 ●2. finale-(n)結尾;終場。此處指「決賽」。 ●3. tacitly-(adv.)默默地。 ●4. imperial-(adj.)帝國的。此處imperial examination指古代的「科舉考試」。 ●5. subordinate to-隸屬於、從屬於。 ●6. tackle-(vt.)對付、應付~。 ●7. barren-(adj.)指人無法生育的;植物不結果實的;亦指土地貧瘠。 本文摘譯、改寫自《金門日報》2010年9月4日報導

Should Kinmen Bid for Taiwan Pavilion in the Shanghai 2010 World Expo?
搶標世博台灣館?李縣長:審慎評估中 The fact that Kinmen Government might vie (1) for the Taiwan Pavilion (2) in the Shanghai 2010 World Expo, attracted much attention from outsiders. During an interview on September 2nd, Magistrate Li stated that since the bidding price for Taiwan Pavilion would range from 1 to 1.2 billion NT dollars, the county government would need to carefully evaluate the feasibility (3) and worthiness of the bidding. Li also expressed that the county council's opinion should be respected. 金門縣政府是否全力爭取「搶標上海世博台灣館到金門」,備受外界關注,縣長李沃士9月2日接受訪問時表示,由於台灣館估計標售價達10億至12億元,縣府還要審慎評估,且須徵詢並尊重議會意見。 The Taiwan External Trade Development Council publicly auctioned Taiwan Pavilion in the Shanghai World Exposition. The bottom price was set to be 416,880,000 NT dollars. The county government sent Li, Xi-Long (李錫隆), Director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, to participate in the explanation session of the auction. Because the bottom price of the pavilion was costly, the local residents were very concerned about the auction 外貿協會公開標售世博台灣館,標售底價為4億1千6百88萬元,縣府曾於8月26日指派文化局長李錫隆參與投標說明會,但由於標售底價非常高,引起縣民關切。 Magistrate Li admitted, that the effort to move the Taiwan Pavilion from Shanghai to Kinmen demanded a significant amount of money. Aside from that, the positive profit and operation results of the pavilion would hardly seem guaranteed in the near future. Therefore, Magistrate Li would plan to consult with the Speaker of the County Council and the County Councilors. He also thought the County Government should study and carefully evaluate the entire situation. 李縣長表示,爭取上海世博台灣館遷至金門,金額的確不是小數目,未來營運也不見得有把握,因此,還要徵詢縣議長王再生以及議員們的意見,並由縣府進行研究,以審慎態度評估。 Li, Xi-Long, Director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, pointed out that the moving of the Taiwan Pavilion from Shanghai to Kinmen could compliment (4) the one-hundredth anniversary celebration of the R.O.C., improving the image of Kinmen and benefitting island tourism. Nevertheless, Li stated, the required investment of at least 1-1.2 billion NT dollars could be burdensome (5), as well as the estimated two year reconstruction period. Both these factors could certainly hurt the appeal (6) of relocating the pavilion. In addition, the operation cost was expected to be fairly high, so the pavilion might still suffer a deficit (7) even after it sold out of entrance tickets. Therefore, further careful evaluation on the possible bidding by the Kinmen County Government was strongly recommended. 據文化局長李錫隆指出,上海世博台灣館移至金門,可配合建國百年成為慶祝活動之一,為金門形象加分,也有益於金門觀光。但投資金額過鉅,粗估要10億至12億元,且重建約需2年時間,認為遷館至金門的吸引力有限,加上營運成本高,即使收門票也可能虧損,建議還要審慎評估。 【註解】 ●1. vie-(vi.)爭;競爭。通常與for連用,形成動詞片語。 ●2. pavilion-(n)涼亭、閣。亦專指博覽會中的展館。 ●3. feasibility-(n)可行性;可能性。 ●4. compliment-(vt.)祝賀;恭維、讚美。 ●5. burdensome-(adj.)繁重的;累贅的。 ●6. appeal-(n)吸引力;感染力。 ●7. deficit-(n)赤字。 本文摘譯、改寫自《金門日報》2010年9月3日報導

Gu-Ning-Tou Residents Raise Voices To Repeal The KNP
古寧頭村民齊怒吼要求撤銷金管處 Nearly 200 residents of Gu-Ning village gathered at the village office on the night of August 27, to tie yellow banners on their foreheads showing "protest." The villagers showed their anger and dissatisfaction with the administration of Kinmen National Park (KNP), and with the limitation of its related regulations, which they strongly believe has impeded (1) the infrastructure construction and development of Gu-Ning village.

Village chief Li, Chao-Jin (李朝金) commented that since the establishment of the KNP 15 years ago, the KNP has responded to all of the suggestions raised by residents by stating that the issues would "be reviewed at the next meeting." Li said, what's even worse, the review meetings only occurred once every five years, where the KNP just went through the motions (4) but brought no resolve, leading the village residents to question the necessity of KNP's existence. 座談會中,村民痛斥金管處諸多法令設限嚴峻,古寧村民「未蒙其利先受其害」。村長李朝金表示,金管處成立至今十五年,居民所提建議,金管處的回應只有「納入下次會議通盤檢討」;而檢討會議五年一次,緩不濟急,虛應故事,痛斥金管處根本無須存在。 Chief Li also collected the villagers complaints, including the villager's self-built "Wang Ye Palace", which was constructed without legal permission and later torn down (5), causing outrage (6) among the local residents. The construction and management of the sewage (7) system was considered faulty (8), and its intercepting sewer was clogged (9) producing smelly odors. Villagers' ancestral tombs were leveled off because of negligence of the KNP and the demining contractor which has become the greatest regret of villagers. Li, Chao-Jin summarized the feelings of the villagers saying that they don't see any necessity of the KNP's existence in Gu-Ning Village and required to be released from the park area. 李朝金也彙整村民的不滿,包括村民集資在自有地上自建的「王爺宮」,被當違建拆除,引起民眾憤慨;污水系統施工不良,管理失當,「截流口」阻塞而產生臭氣;居民的祖墳,因金管處與排雷公司疏失,竟遭剷平,造成村民不可彌補之遺憾。李朝金總結村民的感受,認為金管處在古寧村已無存在價值,要求金管處撤出古寧村。 In response, the director of the KNP, Zeng, Wei-Hong (曾偉宏), said that they were sincere about communicating with the villagers. He emphasized that, within KNP's reach and regardless of what it takes, the KNP will make every effort to proactively (10) address all the issues. The official from the Construction and Planning Agency, Ministry of the Interior, also said that the opinions of the villagers would be brought into review and addressed in the future. 金管處處長曾偉宏則回應,該處很有誠意與村民溝通,他強調能力所及之處,金管處一定積極處理,列席的營建署官員也表示,會將村民的意見帶回檢討處理。 【註解】 ●1. impede-(vt.)妨礙;阻止。 ●2. repeal-(vt.)撤銷;廢除。 ●3. denounce-(vt.)指責;譴責;指控。 ●4. go through the motions-動詞片語,指未認真從事,只是做做動作來敷衍、偽裝。 ●5. tear down-動詞片語,拆除。tear (撕、扯)的動詞三態變化是tear, tore, torn。 ●6. outrage-(n)義憤;憤慨。 ●7. sewage-(n)污水;污穢物。 ●8. faulty-(adj.)有缺點;不完美。 ●9. clog-(vt.)阻塞、堵塞。 ●10. proactively-(adv.)主動、積極地。 本文摘譯、改寫自《金門日報》2010年8月27日報導

金門大學:陸生來台 不損及本國生權益 Taiwan media recently quoted a remark made by the scholars of Taiwan Thinktank as saying: "The Ma Administration is opening an easy access for the Chinese students to overwhelm (1) Taiwan by allowing them to enroll as legitimate students in the title of research studentship (2)." On August 10th, National Quemoy University (NQU) announced a press release emphasizing that the government is in fact implementing a comprehensive, Taiwanese-students-oriented measure to facilitate the enrollment of mainland students in Taiwan. It is certain that this will not bring a negative effect to the interest of Taiwanese students. 日前台灣媒體引述台灣智庫評論,指:「馬政府開方便之門:假研修、真就學,中國學生早湧入台」,國立金門大學10日發布新聞稿,強調政府是以「完整配套、台生優先」的原則推動陸生來台就學,絕不損及本國學生權益。 National Quemoy University indicated that the universities on the outlying (3) islands will admit students on a special-application basis. (4) Such a policy, advocated (5) by most of the Kinmenese fellowmen and thereby granted by the central authority, aims to deal with the dilemma (6) of a decrease in offshore garrison (7) and the gradual decline (8) of the local economy. (9) In addition, the government is implementing a comprehensive, Taiwanese-students-oriented measure to facilitate the enrollment of mainland students in Taiwan.

It will adhere to (10) the Taiwanese-students-oriented principle, not allowing detriment (11) to the interest of the Taiwanese students. 金門大學強調,政府依法開放陸生來台就讀之後,國立金門大學是離島唯一的國立大學,未來也將秉持「台生優先」的最高原則,在教育資源分配上絕不損及本國生原有權益。 【註解】 ●1. overwhelm-(vt.)覆蓋、淹沒;征服、壓倒。 ●2. studentship-(n)學生身份。research studentship則指「研修生」的身份。 ●3. outlying-(adj.)遠離中心的、偏遠的。此處指離島。亦作offshore island。 ●4. on a ~ basis-以~為基準、為原則。例如,A simultaneous interpreter is paid on an hourly basis.(同步口譯員是按時支薪的)。此處指陸生來台是採特殊申請(即專案申請)為原則。 ●5. advocate-(vt.)倡議、主張。 ●6. dilemma-(n)兩難的困境。 ●7. garrison-(n)駐軍;衛戍部隊。 ●8. decline-(n)下降;衰退。 ●9. 主要子句的主詞為such a policy,主要動詞是aims at ~。在主詞與動詞之間另以同位格補充說明這項policy是由大部分金門人支持而獲中央同意的,前後則以逗點分隔:such a policy, advocated by …… and granted by ……, aims at ~。這種句法是組合句子的方式,也是翻譯時常用的技巧之一。 ●10. adhere to-堅持;支持;擁護。 ●11. detriment-(n)損害、損傷。
