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
