But only after the legislation of the "Statute for Anti-personnel Land Mine Control" in May, 2006, did the Ministry of National Defense regard demining to be the most important task, thus expanding full-scale military and commissioned demining in 2007. (4) The first stage of demining was from 2007 to the end of 2009 which cleared land mines at 47 sites with an area of 1.41 million square meters, accounting for 46.3 percent of the listed mine sites. The second stage starting this year will focus on 107 sites, an area of over 1.64 million square meters. 張慶翔表示,國軍自86年開始初步排雷,立法院95年5月間三讀通過《殺傷性地雷管制條例》之後,96年國防部將排雷列為重要施政工作,展開國軍自力排雷和委商排雷。第一階段96年至98年底,清除四十七處、面積一百四十一萬餘平方公尺地雷,已排雷區域佔全金門列管雷區百分之四十六點三。今年起的第二階段排雷,將針對一百零七處,面積逾一百六十四萬平方公尺區域進行。 Zhang also stated that the Kinmen Defense Command has the responsibility and confidence to help Kinmen become a land mine-free area before 2013 which will further promote the development and construction in Kinmen. 張慶翔表示,金防部有責任、且有信心在102年底以前,讓金門成為無雷環境,促進金門發展與建設。 【註解】 ●1. dignitary-(n)顯貴;要人。 ●2. barbed wire-(n)刺絲網。barbed就是有刺的。 ●3. preliminary-(adj.)初步的;預備的。 ●4. 本句是「倒裝句」,以only after起始,用以強調直到相關法案三讀通過後,軍方才開始重視並展開全面排雷。全句的主要子句是the Ministry of National Defense did regard demining to be the most important task。 本文摘譯、改寫自《金門日報》2010年7月17日報導

Director Of CAA: Kinmen Airport Expected To Upgrade Next Year
民航局長:金門航站明年可望升為乙等 Li, Long-Wen (李龍文), Director of Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA), Ministry of Transportation of Communications stated in Kinmen on May 2 that Shangyi Airport will be upgraded to Grade B early next year. CAA also plans to expand the west side terminal, removing bunkers and other obstacles along the runway in accordance with increasing passenger traffic. The original expansion plan was for four years; however, it is hoped that the time frame can be condensed to two years in order to accommodate the 3.5 million passengers that travel by air each year. 交通部民航局局長李龍文5月2日在金門表示,金門航空站最快明年就要升級為乙等航空站,民航局並將規劃進行西側航廈擴建工程,拆除跑道頭碉堡等,以因應與日俱增的客流量。而航廈擴建期程,原先規劃四年,希望壓縮為二年內完成,以容納一年三百五十萬旅客進出。 Li, Long-Wen also stated that the number of closures of the Shangyi Airport caused by heavy fog from February to April was three times more than the same period last year. In addition, with the boost of Mini-Three-Links, the average number of Chinese tourism groups and Taiwanese businessmen recently increased from 400-600 to 2000 per day, resulting in the overcrowding of passengers at the airport due to cancelled or delayed flights caused by heavy fog. 李龍文表示,今年二至四月尚義機場關場率超過去年同期三倍,而旅客運量也因小三通等相關開放措施,經中轉的大陸觀光團、台商人數由過去平均一天四百至六百人,提高到最近平均一天二千人,以致機場稍有狀況,例如因濃霧關場,就造成旅客「滿坑滿谷」現象。 Li also pointed out that although the Kinmen Airport is presently at a Grade C, passenger traffic has increased from 1.72 million in 2008, to 1.98 million in 2009, and already this year from January to April, the number has reached 660,000. Furthermore, the annual transportation is expected to reach 2 million people. According to the CAA stipulation(1), the Shangyi Airport will be upgraded to Grade B next year with an increase in airport station stafff. Prior to the upgrade, the CAA will designate five people from others terminals to assist in the Shanyi Airport. 李龍文並表示,金門航空站目前還是丙等航站,然而自民國九十七年以來,尚義機場客流量就達到一百七十二萬人次,九十八年增為一百九十八萬人次,今年一至四月已經有六十六萬人次,年運量可望達二百萬人次,因此,依規定尚義機場明年將升格為乙等航站,並擴大場站人員編制。升格前,民航局將從其他航站先行抽調五名人力增援。 The suggestions proposed by Magistrate Li, Wo-Shi include the removal of the "Great Wall Bunker" and relevant obstacles along runway 06, and the reduction of visibility of landing minimum from 1200 meters to 800 meterss, Li, Long-Wen indicated that he had negotiated with the Ministry of National Defense and the implementation projects would be separated into two phases. 此外,對金門縣長李沃士建議拆除尚義機場06跑道頭附近的長城堡等障礙物,將航機起降標準由目視能見度一千二百公尺降低為八百公尺以利疏運,李龍文表示,已經和國防部協調分二階段實施。 【註解】 ●1. stipulation-(n)規定;條文。 本文摘譯、改寫自《金門日報》2010年5月3日報導

Military Transporter Help To Move Passengers Applauded

The ROC Defense dispatched(3) transporter Air Force C-130H to assist transporting passengers until weather improved on April 23.

Ministry of Transportation and Communications not only requested each airline carrier to add extra flights, but also negotiated with Ministry of National Defense to implement the mechanism of military air transportation. The Air Force sent a total of six flights, four flying to Taipei and two flying to Taichung, carrying more than 400 townspeople and Taiwanese businessmen back to Taiwan. 由於一連三天受濃霧影響,造成二千多名旅客被迫滯留,交通部除要求航空公司加開班機,並協調國防部再度啟動軍機疏運機制。空軍軍機前後共出動六架次,其中四架飛台北,二架飛台中,共載運四百多位鄉親、台商返回台灣。 Magistrate Li, Wo-Shi stated that the situation of transportation affected by bad weather should be improved as soon as possible. He hoped that the landing minimum at Shangyi Airport would be upgraded this year as 800 meters like the standard at Taipei International Airport (Son Shan Airport). 對於天候造成交通不便,縣長李沃士表示將會盡速改善,希望今年能讓尚義機場起降標準和台北一樣(能見度八百公尺) ●1. shroud-(vt.)遮蔽、籠罩。 ●2. strand-(vi.)使處於困境;使擱淺。 ●3. dispatch-(vt.;中高級) 派遣。 ●4. applaud-(vt.;中級) 稱讚、喝采。 ●5. consecutive-(adj.;中高級) 連續不斷的;連貫的。 本文摘譯、改寫自《金門日報》2010年4月24日報導
