60th Anniversary of Dadan, Erdan Battle On The Way
大二膽戰役60週年將辦紀念活動 This year is the year of the 60th anniversary of the Dadan and Erdan Battle. The Ministry of National Defense will hold an extensive memorial to honor all soldiers sacrificed in the battle. The ministry also issued a "Fellow Soldier Call-up"(1) to welcome all veterans who participated in the battle so as to commemorate their high morale of defending the country and the land. 今年適逢「大二膽戰役」六十週年,為紀念當年不畏犧牲、奮勇抗敵的國軍英勇將士,國防部將擴大辦理紀念活動。國防部並發布「戰友召集令」,歡迎當年參戰官兵報名參加,以緬懷官兵們英勇保家衛國的精神。 According to the Ministry of National Defense, the Chinese communist soldiers had been firing at Dadan unexpectedly for 45 minutes, starting from 6:10 p.m. on July 26, 1950. They attempted to take the Dadan Island with fierce military force, to twist their failure in the Guningtou Battle into triumph, and, further more, to accomplish the idea to consecutively(2) occupy Kinmen, Matsu, Penghu and Taiwan. Under the leadership of Battalion Commander, Major Shi, Heng-Feng, (史恆豐) our soldiers, equipped with high morale, were able to fight night and day with the enemy, facing death without fear. As a result, all invading communist soldiers were (either killed or) captured. This battle of Dadan and Erdan is not only a brilliant victory in history but also the foundation for the triumph of August 23rd Artillery. 根據國防部表示,民國三十九年七月二十六日十八時十分,中共突向大膽島猛烈砲擊,長達四十五分鐘之久,企圖以強大火力,扭轉其在古寧頭大敗的怨氣,堅決打下大膽島,以完成其逐次佔領金馬台澎的構想,但在營長史恆豐少校率領我守軍官兵晝夜激戰下,個個士氣高昂、視死如歸,使得來犯的共軍全部束手就擒,不僅寫下歷史上著名的「大二膽戰役」捷報,更奠定日後「八二三」砲戰勝利的基礎。 ■1. call-up-(n)召集令。 ■2. consecutively-(adv.)連續地;一個接著一個地。 本文摘譯、改寫自《金門日報》2010年3月13日報導

Xue Encouraged Islanders To Congregate and Defense the Bridge Construction Budget
薛:盼鄉親發揮力量共促建橋預算順利過關 Fujian Provincial Governor Xue, Cheng-Tai, together with officers from the provincial government, visited the County Council to congratulate newly elected Speaker Wang, Zai-Sheng, Vice-Speaker Xu, Jian-Zhong and all the other councilors. Xue urged the county government, county council and all islanders to congregate together and voice their strong support for construction of the Kinmen Bridge to begin before the end of this year, thus boosting the integral development in Kinmen. 福建省政府主席薛承泰8日率同省府團隊拜會縣議會,向議長王再生、副議長許建中及議員同仁祝賀高票當選,並希望結合縣府與議會與鄉親力量共同發聲,爭取金門建橋如期在年底動工,帶動金門整體發展。 Speaker Wang, Zai-Sheng pointed out that the idea of constructing Kinmen Bridge was filed for the first time during the first County Council. This bridge combines the functions of tourism, medical, emergencies etc. Basically, human life is priceless. He emphasized that if the economic effectiveness is the only consideration, then the construction of Penghu Bridge would no longer be necessary from its beginning. Wang promised to cooperate with all his fellow Councilors to support all processes needed for building the bridge and defend the budget so as to accomplish construction of this bridge as soon as possible. He also exclaimed that although Kinmen Bridge is a major public construction with one third of the budget held by Kinmen County Government, there are still some grievances (about the distribution of government budget). This is surely unfair for Kinmen. 議長王再生指出,金(烈)門大橋從第一屆金門縣議會就已提出,其功能不止觀光,還兼具醫療、救護等功能,尤其生命無價,如果只考慮經濟價值,那澎湖大橋也不必建了。王再生也強調議會將結合老幹新枝,全力支持建橋各項作業,在預算上嚴加把關,讓大橋能早日完成。不過,他也感慨地說,建橋是中央重大工程,地方政府自付三分一預算,別人還有聲音,對金門相當的不公平。 本文摘譯、改寫自《金門日報》2010年3月9日報導

Cormorant Project: To Recruit Business for Prosperity
「鸕鶿計畫」招商引資從單點突破到百花齊放 Executive Master of Business Administration Foundation of National Taiwan University (NTU EMBA Foundation) presented a briefing yesterday for a Kinmen development project named the "Cormorant Project". They advised that the Kinmen County Government should make efforts toward economic liberalization.(2) In this way, while recruiting(3) business and attracting investors, the government would be able to start to make a breakthrough from one signal point and then spread out the effect and achieve the goal for prosperity. 台大高階管理碩士教育基金會昨提出「鸕鶿計畫」簡報,建議金門縣政府要朝經濟解嚴方向努力,以期在開發和招商引資上,達到單點突破、迎接百花齊放目標。 NTU EMBA Foundation pointed out that the so called "Economic Liberalization in Kinmen" includes activating the lands, attracting business travelers, establishing successful business models, and alluring(4) significant private investments. These are directions that the Kinmen County Government should follow to liberalize the economy in Kinmen. 基金會指出,所謂金門經濟解嚴,包括活化金門土地;吸引外來客商;建立成功、可行性的商業模式;形成百花齊放的民間投資。這些就是金門經濟解嚴該努力的方向。 Citing Hu, Shih's famous saying: "As you sow, so should you reap,"(5) the NTU EMBA Foundation suggested the following constructions or measures should be the top priority, which includes high class hotels so as to attract elegant travelers; tax-free incentives(6) so as to draw shopping tourists; activation of coastline so as to activate business at the beach; and transportation construction. 而經濟解嚴的第一波建設,基金會引用胡適名言「要怎麼收穫,就怎麼栽」,認為:沒有高檔飯店,就沒有高檔客人;沒有免稅誘因,就沒有血拚旅客;沒有海岸解嚴,就沒有沙灘商機;沒有交通建設,就沒有大量人潮。 The Foundation also advised Kinmen (county government) to learn a lesson from local governments in Mainland China, strive for(7) further authority from central government, and rectify(8) those improper practices of BOT in Taiwan. In this way, Kinmen will be able to attract, with ease,(9) local, Taiwan, China and foreign investments. 基金會建議,金門應爭取中央授予地方更大權限,以效法中國大陸地方政府招商引資的權限;並調整台灣BOT案造成的各項弊端;期借力使力,吸引來自本地資金、台資、陸資和外資進來。 ■註解: ■1. 原文的標題是招商引資從單點突破到百花齊放,囿於標題的篇幅有限,因此在翻譯時僅能選擇性進行意譯,即招商以求富裕。 ■2. economic liberalization-經濟自由化。這是個意義多元而複雜的用語。由於金門早已解嚴,只是在經濟活力似乎並未被「解放」出來,因此此處改以「自由化」來傳達「解嚴」的意義。 ■3. recruit-(vt.)招募、吸收。 ■4. allure-(vt.)引誘、誘惑;強烈的吸引。 ■5. As you sow, so should you reap-胡適的名言:「要怎麼收穫,先怎麼栽」,英文的格言、諺語則反過來,譯為:怎麼種就怎麼收。 ■6. incentive-(n)刺激、鼓勵、動機。即誘因。 ■7. strive for-爭取。 ■8. rectify-(vt.)改正、糾正。 ■9. with ease-輕易地、輕鬆地。此處以「輕鬆、輕易」來帶換「借力使力」。 本文摘譯自《金門日報》2010年3月8日報導

Provincial Govt. Justified(1) Building of Kinmen Bridge
建金門大橋省府說明白以正視聽 To counter(2) the headline "Pave the way for Kinmen to Xiamen? Government cost 5.7 billion to build 5.34km Kinmen Bridge" in the Liberty Times on Feb. 26, Executive Yuan convened(3) a press conference for clarification. The Fujian Provincial Government also expressed their opinion about building the Kinmen Bridge. 針對二月二十六日自由時報頭版報導「為金廈大橋鋪路?政府砸五十七億建五點三四公里金門大橋」,行政院召開記者會加以澄清。而福建省政府也對興建金門大橋,提出看法。 Executive Yuan emphasized that, for the past 60 years, this is the first time that the government intended to build a bridge in Kinmen. The purpose is to implement the policy of taking care of the off-shore islanders and also to fulfill transportation, medical, emergency needs, and provide water and electric supply. Executive Yuan also emphasized its tourism value and the economic effectiveness examined by the Council of Economy Planning and Developing (CEPD). The entire budget for building the bridge is 5.7 billion, with one-third held by Kinmen county government. Executive Yuan stressed that: It is impossible that the bridge will edge out(4) the transportation budget in the special bill on post-typhoon rebuilding. 行政院強調,政府六十年來第一次在金門蓋橋,乃履行照顧離島偏遠地區的政策,且兼具交通、水電、緊急醫療救援、消防救災需求,並強調觀光價值,其經濟效益已經過經建會審查。建橋總經費五十七億,其中金門縣政府負擔三分之一,對莫拉克颱風災後重建特別預算之交通建設經費,並無任何排擠。 Fujian Provincial Government also pointed out that economic effectiveness is not the only factor to be considered while planning to build the Kinmen Bridge. The integration of all related functions correlated with(5) this bridge should have already surpassed(6) the so called economic effectiveness of any kind. Besides, this is also the first time for the local government to bear part of the cost for building a bridge. 而福建省政府也指出,金門大橋不能單以經濟效益為興建與否的唯一因素。僅論大橋所能整合之各項功能,即超越任何經濟評估效益。而此次亦首開地方政府負擔造橋費用之先例。 Some scholars questioned that the Kinmen Bridge might pave the way for "Kinmen-Xiamen Bridge". Provincial Government declared that "Kinmen-Xiamen Bridge" is an expectation of Kinmenese based on a long history across straits and should be respected. Provincial Government emphasized that there are no consensus(7) yet, not to mention no policy! 部分學者質疑金門大橋預留「金廈大橋」闢建空間。省府表示,所謂「金廈大橋」,是鄉親基於長久歷史情誼的憧憬,此類想法省府必須尊重,但尚未具有共識,遑論形成政策! ■註解: ■1. justify-(vt.)捍衛、辯護或證明~為真。此處以「捍衛」之意來代換原文的「說明白、正視聽」。 ■2. counter-(vt.)反對、反擊 ■3. convene-(vt.)召開、召集。 ■4. edge out-排擠。 ■5. correlate with-(vt.)與~相關。 ■6. surpass-(vt.)超越、勝過。 ■7. consensus-(n)一致、合意。指輿論或政策上的「共識」。 本文摘譯自《金門日報》2010年3月6日報導

This bridge will offer steady communication between Kinmen and Leihyu, combine with tourism resources, and improve provision for the basic demands of daily life, such as medical treatment, emergency, water and electricity supply. 李沃士接受媒體訪問時表示,建橋符合照顧離島居民政策,可提供大小金門間穩定的陸運交通,與整體觀光資源結合,實質改善大小金門醫療照護、緊急救災、民生水電等基本需求。 The minister of Ministry of Transportation and Communication (MOTC) stated that the design of Jin-Lie Bridge is specifically to meet the demands mainly for tourism, and secondly for transportation.

Editorials Seeking For Aura Of Kinmen
尋找金門的味道 Over the years, one begins to wonder if the mood reversed or the feeling of the New Year really became insipid.(1) Regarding the New Year Festival in Kinmen, there appears to be no profound memories in mind. Some say it is not that the aura(2) of the New Year became insipid, but rather the impression of Kinmen has become blurred. Then, what is the real aura of Kinmen? What is the real unique landscape of Kinmen? To think thoroughly, the battlefield relics scattered around Kinmen Island possibly might be the key that makes the difference among Kinmen, Taiwan and China. Actually, they truly are the main reason for many tourists to come here. When we strive to develop tourism and regard it as the main lifeline(2) of Kinmen, ignoring the lost and damage of battlefield and historic relics is just like digging up our own roots of tourism. Do we need outside help to develop tourism in Kinmen? No, not at all! In fact, the best strategy for tourism development begins with seeking for Kinmen's real aura, and with preserving Kinmen battlefield relics. Doing so helps to preserve not only the blood of this mother island, but also a unique life memory for all islanders. ■1. insipid-(adj.)平淡無味的;無趣的。 ■2. aura-(n)氛圍;氣氛。 ■3. lifeline-(n)生命線;救生索。 本文摘譯自《金門日報》2010年2月23日社論

Governor Xue: Jin-Lie Bridge & Upgrade of KMIT Can Be Expected
薛主席:大橋年底前動工 金技院升格將有好消息 At a lunch with local media workers yesterday, Xue Zheng-Tai, the Minister without Portfolio,(1) Executive Yuan and Governor of Fujian provincial government, mentioned that the construction of the Jin-Lie Bridge and the upgrade of KMIT to a university are the two important powers for Kinmen development. He stated that he will use all his strength to promote these two endeavors(2) and give relief to the local people. He also expects the media to be a power of supervision and change. 行政院政務委員兼福建省政府主席薛承泰昨日在與地區新聞媒體朋友餐敘時指出,金烈大橋與金技院升格大學,是金門發展的二個重要動力,他會全力促成,讓大家安下這份心。他也期盼媒體扮演監督、改變的力量。 Fujian provincial government held a warm luncheon(3) yesterday to greet the Chinese New Year and hold discussions with local media workers. This lunch was hosted by Xue, the sectary-general in Fujian provincial government Zeng Hua-de, and the directors, senior executive officers(4) and secretaries in each division attended the luncheon. Huang Ya-Fen, the publisher of the Kinmen Daily News, and local news workers also joined in the warm atmosphere of this luncheon. 福建省政府昨日中午舉辦了溫馨的聯誼餐會,與地區的新聞媒體人員餐敘並賀節,由薛承泰主席主持,省府秘書長曾華德及各組室主管參議、專員、秘書熱情參與,本報社長黃雅芬與地區新聞媒體工作同仁等到場參加,餐會洋溢著歡愉氣氛。 Xue mentioned that, in regards to the policy of the bridge, he will constantly encourage the central authorities to start the construction. Next year is the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the R.O.C., and he specifically reminded the members of ministries in Executive Yuan that Kinmen and Matzu are the most qualified counties to celebrate this anniversary because they have been territories of the R.O.C since its establishment. Xue insisted that the 100th year celebration of the R.O.C must coordinate with the governments of Kinmen and Matzu. Wu Dun-Yi, the premier, agreed with this suggestion. Following Xue's words, Premier Wu said the building of Jin-Lie Bridge must be started before the 100th year so it will have a true meaning of celebration. 薛承泰指出,關於大橋的政策部分,他在中央不斷重申今年年底前一定要動工。明年是中華民國建國一百年,他也在行政院院會特別提醒內閣成員,真正最有資格慶祝建國一百年的是金門與馬祖,因為金馬是全世界「唯二」奉中華民國正朔到民國一百年的地方,慶祝建國百年慶的時候務必與金馬二政府協調。而行政院長吳敦義也順著他的口說,金門大橋一定要在建國一百年前動工,才真正有慶祝的意味。 Xue also mentioned that he hopes the good news of the upgrade(5) of KMIT will soon be released. He again emphasized that with the two powers for Kinmen development: the bridge linking Kinmen and Lie Yu (little Kinmen), and the upgrade of KMIT, should be accomplished during his short term of service, thus relieving the concerns of the local people during this time. In this way, everyone will feel they can depend on him, and they will know in what direction Kinmen will be moving. 薛承泰也提到,金門技術學院升格大學,再等幾天,希望馬上就有好消息出來。他也強調,金門發展的兩個動力,一個大小金門的橋,一個是金門技術學院升格大學,希望在短短的兼任省主席任內,希望讓大家安下這份心,大家會比較踏實,知道往哪個方向走。 【解說與譯註】 ■1. Portfolio-(n)部長或大臣的職位。所謂政務委員是指得出席內閣會議、參與決策,但卻不具備部會首長職銜(即「不管部會」)者。此處Minister without Portfolio是行政院的正式翻譯。 ■2. endeavor-(n)努力;盡力。 ■3. luncheon-(n)午餐,尤指正式之餐宴。 ■4. senior executive officer-(n)參議。字面上是「資深的執行官」。executive officer則是指專員。 ■5. upgrade-(vi.)升級,提高品質。此處指金門技術學院改為大學。事實上國立金門技術學院已屬高等教育體系,只是現階段被歸類在「技職司」。未來若「改名大學」之後,將改隸「高教司」。從教育部的角度看來,並無所謂「升格」。但從一般社會大眾的角度看來,仍舊認為是「升格」。因此,在翻譯上仍沿用"upgrade"。 本文摘譯自《金門日報》2010年2月6日報導
