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
