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
