(Brontë, 1847) 我向來最喜歡吃烤薯, 白麵包, 新鮮牛奶, 上床時總想到這幾件好吃的東西, 現在卻不然了； 我臨睡的時候, 所想的都是繪畫。(伍光建, 1935) 那一晚上床睡覺的時候, 平常我愛拿來滿足我內心渴望的那種畫餅充飢的烤馬鈴薯或白麵包和新鮮牛奶的晚餐, 我忘記在想像中預備了, 我卻拿我暗中見到的空幻的畫景來做盛宴。(李霽野, 1936)

II. English Ability 1. Paraphrasing: Rewrite the following paragraph in English to express the same meaning or information with different wording and structure.  An Immense World by Ed Yong is a book filled with strange creatures and experiments； Yong is interested in what animals perceive and what they might communicate to us. Humans see the world one way, and other species see it through very different eyes, and many don't see it at all. Attempting to exchange one worldview-or, to use the term Yong favors, Umwelt--for another may be frustrating, but, he argues, that's what makes the effort worthwhile. It reminds us that, "for all our vaunted intelligence," our Umwelt is just one among millions. Some species of scallops, for instance, have dozens of eyes； others have hundreds. We can learn a lot from the methods that animals use to sense their surroundings. And doing so can be, for us, mind-expanding.

2. Summarizing: Write a summary in English between 50 to 80 words to get the gist of the following paragraphs. (It is strongly recommended not to copy the same sentences of the original texts.)  Of the character sketches that the English satirist Samuel Butler wrote in the mid-seventeenth century- among them "A Degenerate Noble," "A Huffing Courtier," "A Small Poet," and "A Romance Writer"-the most recognizable today is "A Modern Critic." He is a contemptible creature: a tyrant, a pedant, a crackpot, and a snob； "a very ungentle Reader"； "a Corrector of the Press gratis"； "a Committee-Man in the Commonwealth of letters"； "a Mountebank, that is always quacking of the infirm and diseased Parts of Books." He judges, and, if authors are to be believed, he judges poorly. He praises without discernment. He invents faults when he cannot find any. Beholden to no authority, obeying nothing but the mysterious stirrings of his heart and his mind, he hands out dunce caps and placards insolently and with more than a little glee. Authors may complain to their friends, but they have no recourse. The critic's word is law. Butler's sketch would still strike a chord with aggrieved writers today, but, in his time, the Modern Critic- part mountebank, part magician was a new phenomenon. The figure's shape-shifting in the centuries since is the subject of John Guillory's new book, "Professing Criticism" (Chicago), an erudite and occasionally biting series of essays on "the organization of literary study." Guillory has spent much of his career explaining how works of literature are enjoyed, assessed, interpreted, and taught； he is best known for his landmark work, "Cultural Capital" (1993), which showed how literary evaluation draws authority from the institutions principally universities within which it is practiced. To suggest, for instance, that minor poets were superior to major ones, as T. S. Eliot did, or that the best modernist poetry was inferior to the best modernist prose, as Harold Bloom did, meant little unless these judgments could be made to stick-that is, unless there were mechanisms for transmitting these judgments to other readers.

III. Translation Competence  1. 英譯中: 請將下列英文翻譯成正確通順、適體適境的中文。Microsoft's $10bn bet on ChatGPT developer marks new era of AI  The $10bn investment that Microsoft is considering in San Francisco-based research outfit OpenAI looks set to become the defining deal for a new era of artificial intelligence. If the US software giant is right about the far-reaching implications of the technology, it could also trigger a realignment in the AI world as other tech groups race to stake out their place in the new field of generative AI.  OpenAI grabbed global headlines last month with the launch of ChatGPT, an AI system that can answer queries and produce text in natural-sounding language. But Microsoft executives believe the technology behind the service will soon have a deeper impact throughout the tech world. (Financial Times)

2. Chinese-to-English Translation : Translate the following Chinese text into correct, fluent and adequate English.  臺灣地處印太區域樞紐，以貿易立國，利用地理位置優勢創造國家利基，已為我國經濟發展打下穩固基礎。然而，全球化與第四次工業革命、貿易戰與 Covid-19 疫情所引發的供應鏈重組，以及數位經濟高速發展，所帶來的全球經濟發展模式改變，已經是現在進行式，更是未來可見的趨勢。為此，各國政府與產業，莫不積極在現今變動的浪潮中，超前部署，並且爭取優秀人才；而各國人才則努力在這變動中強化自己的競爭力，以期在激烈競爭中脫穎而出。(出自《2030 雙語政策整體推動方案》)

1. Clearing the Air        Getting to zero carbon emissions won't save the world. We will need to remove carbon on a massive scale. To do that will require a planet-wide effort to match anything that humankind has ever achieved. Scientists and entrepreneurs are embarking on ambitious projects to remove carbon dioxide from ambient air and lock it away. In Arizona, an engineering professor shows me his "mechanical tree," a single one of which he says may someday be able to do the work of a thousand regular trees in capturing and storing CO2. In Australia, a leading oceanographer tells me that seaweed is salvation, if only we'd help it grow in giant aqua-gardens of kelp [海帶] and wakame [裙帶菜] that could harbor billions of tons of carbon dioxide.         What these efforts have in common is that they are geared in the long run to drag downward a number that climate experts agree holds the key to the health of the planet. That number is the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, which for thousands of years had held stable at or a bit below 280 parts per million, until the industrial revolution kicked off in the middle of the 19th century. Today this critical number stands at some 420 parts per million—in other words, the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen roughly 50 percent since 1850. (National Geographic, Nov. 2023)

2. Welcome to the Ad-free Internet         For a preview of what lies wrapped beneath the Christmas tree, log in to Facebook. The social network tracks its users' behavior so intimately that it is able to personalize adverts with a precision that sometimes verges on mind-reading. Its ad-stuffed newsfeed at this time of year embodies the internet's great trade-off: consumers enjoy free services, but must submit to bombardment with commercials from companies that know who has been naughty or nice.         Yet increasingly, those consumers with deep enough pockets are getting the chance to escape the online admen. Last month Facebook's owner, Meta, began offering customers in Europe ad-free subscriptions to Facebook and its sister network, Instagram.         Social networks are not the only medium allowing the group that advertisers most covet—the better-off with money—to splurge to wriggle beyond their reach. From video and audio to news and gaming, a combination of regulation and technological change is encouraging media companies to offer alternatives. As the rich opt out of commercials on some platforms, advertisers are therefore looking for new places to catch them. (The Economist, Dec. 16, 2023)

1. AI 必須受到監管與限制，否則會有削弱人性和尊嚴的危險教宗方濟各(Pope Francis)在今年「世界和平日」(World Day of Peace 2024)發表以「AI的崛起」為主題的演講,他認為我們必須對 AI 進行監管,AI應服務於人類最大的潛能和至高的願望,但在當前技術官僚主義(technocratic)和效率導向的大旗下,限制AI 的重要性常被人們拋諸腦後。教宗在演講中不僅談到了AI 可能濫用於戰爭和恐怖主義的可能風險,甚至會以一種徹底重塑社會的方式削弱人性。AI應該受到監管,應該激發人類潛能並實現至高願望,而不是與之競爭。這次演講的核心概念就是「限制」,這對個人和社會的發展至關重要。  他特別闡述「技術官僚主義」社會的危險,特別是對人類行為的演算法操控,以及工作取代與勞動力品質下降的全面自動化,兩者之所以特別危險,是因為它們對人類尊嚴構成最根本的威脅。如今我們未能有效監管 AI 的原因之一,莫過於我們缺乏挑戰 AI 的連貫性描述。除了功利主義的解釋外,很少人能夠像教宗一樣明確地解釋為什麼人類智慧能在質量上優於AI;為什麼勞動有尊嚴;為什麼技術專家主義會危害我們的生活品質。(科技新報,2024-1-6)

2. 玻璃一年奪走上億「鳥」命 美國大樓不想再當候鳥殺手每到遷徙時節,候鳥飛越數千公里,躲過天敵與天災,卻在「玻璃叢林」裡丟了性命。北美都會區嚴重的「窗殺」引起大眾關注,自發投入防止窗殺的工作。芝加哥麥考密克展覽中心(McCormick Place)的大樓一夜之間「殺死」近千隻候鳥。當地鳥類專家威勒德(David Willard)隔天早上目睹了這一幕,長年追蹤窗殺事件的他大受震撼,「窗前就像鋪上了鳥屍做的地毯。」窗殺的原因有幾種:乾淨透明的玻璃有時連人類眼睛都難以察覺,鳥類的雙眼主要在頭部兩側、沒有3D視覺,因此不容易注意到玻璃。牠們看到玻璃反射出的植栽,就一頭衝撞過去。此外,夜晚遷徙的鳥類常仰賴星光導航,城市大樓的燈光會迷惑牠們的方向感。有時牠們撞上窗戶,有的不斷繞行燈光直到力竭墜地,這種現象稱為「致命光害吸引」。芝加哥窗殺案引發不少熱議,公民呼籲政府與大樓管理者採取更多作為。生物多樣性中心發出公開信,要求儘速啟動《候鳥條約法案》(Migratory Bird Treaty Act)的保護傘規範。前總統川普(Trump)曾修正法案,讓「意外」導致鳥類死亡的企業,能免去刑事罪刑。(環境資訊中心,2023-11-30)
