英譯中（30 分）Taiwanese tea has a history dating back to the 18th century. Traditional tea drinking emphasizes hot brewing and the use of various utensils, which led to it being called “old men’s tea,” implying that only the elderly had the time to savor it. In the late 20th century, Taiwan’s tea culture saw a new development with the emergence of bubble tea, a hand-shaken iced tea combined with tapioca pearls, quickly gaining popularity among younger generations as a trendy beverage. Bubble tea retained elements of traditional Taiwanese tea while adding creativity and fun, making it more appealing to modern youth. Since the 1990s, the trend has spread beyond Taiwan, first to neighboring Asian countries and then globally. With its customizable nature, bubble tea has been widely embraced around the world. It also becomes a recognizable symbol of Taiwanese culture, and has secured a strong presence on the global stage.

中譯英（30 分）近年來臺灣詐騙集團案件越來越多，許多年輕人遭誘騙前往柬埔寨工作或投資而受害。警方指出，詐騙集團常透過社群媒體或私人訊息聯絡受害者，使用的話術包括宣稱提供高薪工作機會、海外投資項目或代購海外貨品以獲利等，吸引年輕人前往國外。根據警方調查，約有 1,000 名臺灣年輕人每月前往柬埔寨，但其中僅約 100 人返回。為防止類似事件發生，警方已加強機場查緝，在桃園國際機場攔截購買單程機票前往柬埔寨或泰國的年輕旅客，了解行程目的並提供警示資訊。警方表示，此舉旨在保護民眾安全，提醒民眾警惕陌生工作或投資邀約，避免落入詐騙陷阱。

日譯中
（一）「JA 全農たまご株式会社」が発表した東京地区の 10 月の平均価格は、M サイズ 1 キロあたり 326 円と 12 か月連続で前の年の同じ月より値上がりしました。値上がりの幅は 51 円で、統計を公表してい る 1993 年以降、10 月としては最も高くなりました。農林水産省は、去年の秋からことし初めにかけて鳥インフルエンザが相次いで多くのニワトリが処分され、今も前年より卵の供給が減っていること が背景にあるとしています。（20 分）
（二）なぜ減税が難しいと言われるのか。ひとつは社会保障費の増大だ。高齢化が進む日本では減税によって財源が不足した場合に、年々膨らむ社会保障費を賄いきれない恐れがある。次に日本の債務状況。日本は GDP に対する債務残高の割合が主要先進国の中で最も高く、過度な国債の発行は円の信用低下や金利上昇につながる。支払う利息も増えれば、財源が圧迫され政策の実現が困難になってしまう可能性がある。（15 分）

（一）臺灣店家營業時間相當長，都會區一般商家每日營業時間從 10:00 至22:00，平均超過 12 小時，週末及例假日大部分的購物商圈更會提早營業；大型購物商場及百貨公司多半全年無休，尤其遇到連續假期或臺灣農曆過年期間，也會延長營業時間。除了便利商店之外，部分連鎖藥局、速食店、餐廳也提供 24 小時不打烊的購物服務。（15 分）
（二）以往機場通關採行紅線（來自疫區）與綠線（來自非疫區）分流制度，非疫區旅客的行李可免於檢疫通關。但未來入境旅客將不再依出發國家或地區區分風險，所有行李一律納入查核範圍。雖然高風險國家的分流制度會維持，但整體查驗強度將大幅提升。（15 分）

英譯中：請將下面文章譯成中文。（每小題 20 分，共 40 分）
（一） George Clooney spent his first years in Hollywood getting rejected at auditions. He wanted the producers and directors to like him, but they didn’t and it hurt and he blamed the system for not seeing how good he was. This perspective should sound familiar. It’s the dominant viewpoint for the rest of us on job interviews, when we pitch clients, or try to connect with an attractive stranger in a coffee shop. We subconsciously submit to what Seth Godin, author and entrepreneur, refers to as the “tyranny of being picked.” Everything changed for Clooney when he tried a new perspective. He realized that casting is an obstacle for producers, too—they need to find somebody, and they’re all hoping that the next person to walk in the room is the right somebody. Auditions were a chance to solve their problem, not his. From Clooney’s new perspective, he was that solution. He was the answer to their prayers. That was what he began projecting in his auditions—not exclusively his acting skills but that he was the man for the job.
（二）There was little evidence that Demosthenes was destined to become the greatest orator of Athens, let alone all of history. He was born sickly and frail with a nearly debilitating speech impediment. At seven years old, he lost his father. And then things got worse. The large inheritance left to him—intended to pay for tutors and the best schools—was stolen by the guardians entrusted to protect him. They refused to pay his tutors, depriving him of the education he was entitled to. Here was this fatherless, effeminate, awkward child who no one understood, who everyone laughed at. Not exactly the boy you’d expect would soon hold the power to mobilize a nation to war by his voice alone. Disadvantaged by nature, abandoned by the people he depended on, nearly every wrong that can be inflicted on a child befell Demosthenes. None of it was fair, none of it was right. Most of us, were we in his position, would have given up right then and there. But Demosthenes did not.

英譯中：Translate the following passage into Chinese（30分）A recent article by Christopher Flavelle, a Washington-based climate reporter, notes that Americans by substantial margins support much stronger building codes and even outright bans on new construction in flood- and fire-prone zones. Eighty-four percent of people surveyed supported mandatory building codes in risky areas, and well over half supported outright bans. One interesting aspect of these findings is that a majority of Republicans favored tougher rules. That’s surprising because Republicans tend to be much more skeptical about global warming than Democrats and, more to the point, much more hostile to government regulation.

英文作文：Write an English essay in 250-300 words（40分）In “The Elusive Ethics of Leaking,” Mark Fenster observes, “Traditional leaks of limited quantities of information—a small cache of documents or an off- the-record conversation, for example—have long been staples of investigative journalism. Journalists have responded to official protests and the threat leaks can pose to national security by developing widely-accepted practices for how best to verify leaks’ authenticity and manage the risks they create for the leakers as well as for the government and public” [Georgetown Journal of International Affairs 18.3(2017): 113]. In your essay, please discuss what these “widely-accepted practices” should be and how journalists should apply them without violating the ethics of publishing leaks. Specifically, please address the issues of what leaks ethical journalists can expose and how they should deal with leaked information.

Please translate the following passage into Chinese.（30 分）An impeachment inquiry against U.S. President Donald Trump began after a whistleblower alleged that Trump and other top government officials had pressured the leaders of foreign nations—most notably Ukraine—to investigate his political opponents. Top minds from both political parties are preparing their best strategy as the impeachment investigation moves into a new phase with the first public hearings. A clearer picture of Trump's dealings with Ukraine has finally emerged after weeks of testimony from key witnesses. At the heart of the inquiry is whether Trump used the powers of his office to pressure Ukraine to help his re-election. As the public firestorm around the complaint and the phone call mounted, Trump decided to release a White House summary of his conversation with Zelensky, believing it would calm some of the backlashes and help him come out the other end of the controversy.

Translate the following English passage into Chinese.（25 分）British Prime Minister Theresa May is calling on her fractious Conservative Party to unite on a Brexit strategy and help her negotiate a separation agreement with the European Union. May told her party’s annual conference Wednesday in Birmingham they are entering the “toughest phase of the negotiations.” Britain will leave the 28-nation bloc on March 29 and talks to reach a divorce deal have stalled. An influential pro-Brexit faction within May’s party led by former foreign minister Boris Johnson is urging her to be firm and exit the European Union without a deal if necessary. The faction opposes May’s proposal for Britain to adhere to EU trade rules after it leaves, calling instead for a clean break. May did not rule out leaving without an agreement, but said doing so “would be a bad outcome for the U.K. and the EU.”

Please translate the following passage into Chinese.（25 分）The rise of the amateur politicians seems to be a worldwide fad now, with Donald Trump as the best recognizable example. To most of us, his ascension to the Presidency was more than a surprise; it was a total shock. Did he have any relevant experience that would qualify him for the highest political office in the world? Clearly his lack of traditional qualifications for the job did not faze the American electorate in the slightest. After all, aspirants to political office all start off as novices. You can’t be a seasoned politician until you’ve been a politician and garnered the very experiences that qualify for the job in the first place. This chicken and egg scenario sometimes, although rarely, produces a double-yoker. More often than not the bad eggs surface and get their own experience at the expense of bad decision-making and even worse politics. It then turns out to be a lamentable approach, a recipe for disaster.

英譯中：請將下面 Jeff Bezos（傑弗里·貝索斯）部分講稿翻譯成中文。（每小題 10 分，共 30 分）
（一） As a kid, I spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in Texas. I helped fix windmills, vaccinate cattle, and do other chores. We also watched soap operas every afternoon, especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club, a group of Airstream trailer owners who travel together around the U.S. and Canada. And every few summers, we'd join the caravan. We'd hitch up the Airstream trailer to my grandfather's car, and off we'd go, in a line with 300 other Airstream adventurers. I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked forward to these trips. On one particular trip, I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips, and I hated the smell.
（二） At that age, I'd take any excuse to make estimates and do minor arithmetic. I'd calculate our gas mileage – figure out useless statistics on things like grocery spending. I'd been hearing an ad campaign about smoking. I can't remember the details, but basically the ad said, every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes off of your life: I think it might have been two minutes per puff. At any rate, I decided to do the math for my grandmother. I estimated the number of cigarettes per day, estimated the number of puffs per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I'd come up with a reasonable number, I poked my head into the front of the car, tapped my grandmother on the shoulder, and proudly proclaimed, "At two minutes per puff, you've taken nine years off your life!"
（三） I have a vivid memory of what happened, and it was not what I expected. I expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. "Jeff, you're so smart. You had to have made some tricky estimates, figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division." That's not what happened. Instead, my grandmother burst into tears. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. While my grandmother sat crying, my grandfather, who had been driving in silence, pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. He got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. Was I in trouble? My grandfather was a highly intelligent, quiet man. He had never said a harsh word to me, and maybe this was to be the first time? Or maybe he would ask that I get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother. I had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me, and after a bit of silence, he gently and calmly said, "Jeff, one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever."

Forty percent of the streetlights don’t work, since there isn’t enough money to keep them on, or up, in a city that some 60 years ago was the richest in the country.

Public workers are bracing for pension cuts that may leave their retirement plans in ruins. Residents can look for taxes to go up even as services continue to decline. There’s talk of auctioning off prize works from the Detroit Institute of Arts to pay for more ambulances. Downtown businesses are being asked to pay for their own security patrols since so many police have been laid off. Though nearly everyone agrees that Detroit is in particularly bad shape, many of its underlying issues—crushing debt and unfunded and unsustainable retiree benefits—are not unique.

Translate the following passage into Chinese.（25 分）“Iron Lady” is what the Soviet press had dubbed Margaret Thatcher unflatteringly, but she embraced it, and she was known as the Iron Lady to the very end by her legions of admirers and detractors alike for her steely spine and her unshakable convictions. She won three elections and she was the longest-serving British prime minister of modern times. Margaret Thatcher famously broke the coal miners’ union, stood up against striker violence for months until she won. She delivered tough medicine to an economy wracked by inflation and industrial decline. She was lionized for surviving an IRA bomb, but vilified for her hardline stance, allowing IRA* hunger strikers like Bobby Sands to die.
