""",因為現實上,「業者無法證明音樂下載者原本都必然會購買實體商品,若沒有下載機會,這些音樂愛好者恐怕連試聽的空間都沒有,只能被動地接受業者在媒體上買時段打歌的宣傳訊息,對於音樂文化的多樣性反倒有害。」 +"The Fourth Asian Writers 'Conference opens on April 26 at the Grand Hotel in Taipei.

However, with the strict copyright regime that prevails, any sampling requires payment of substantial royalties, forming an invisible obstacle to creative latitude.",近年來潛心創作電子音樂的他,編曲過程中常要取樣各種舊聲音作為素材,但在現行嚴苛的著作權概念下,任何取樣都要付出高額費用,無形中限制了創作空間。 +The Taiwan Plastics Industry Association reports that because of the energy crisis the growth rate of the industry in 1974 was the lowest on record. But the situation has turned brighter since April 1975. The export business is recovering from the recession and orders for the plastic products have been gradually increasing.,據台灣區塑膠工業同業公會表示,由於能源危機,民國六十三年是台灣塑膠工業成長率最低的一年,去年四月起情況好轉,國內外銷事業復趨活躍,塑膠業的訂單也逐日增加,因此本年來,外銷的金額,皆比去年同期有顯著的增加。 +"Lim says frankly that in the current legal battles over digital music, record companies are mainly protecting their own interests, while musicians may end up gaining nothing.",林強直陳,在這場數位音樂的法律爭端裡,唱片業者捍衛的主要是自身利益,音樂創作者未必能雨露均霑。 +"Kenting Park is located at the southern tip of Taiwan, to the south of Hengchun, Pingtung County, in the center of Oluanpi Peninsula. It is 120 kilometers south of Kaohsiung and 9 kilometers north of Oluanpi.

They must expand their conception of the music business in order to adapt to this new revolution.",面對數位衝擊,何東洪認為業者對產業的概念不該再侷限於唱片銷售上,必須要擴大對於音樂產業的想像,才能適應新變革。 +"It's far enough, however, so that the noise of the tourists doesn't disturb the quiet atmosphere around the hotel. Many consider that Kenting Park is indeed an ideal place to go for holidays. Scenic spots are almost everywhere in Kenting Park.",以上三處,彼此雖有距離,但不太遠,遊樂與宿處分開,各不相擾,有寧靜所在,有熱鬧地方,實為一個理想的遊樂好去處。 +"Creative Commons Licensing In the Internet age, the notion of ""resource shar-ing"" has become widely accepted.",創用 CC 網路時代的「資訊分享」觀念普遍而根深柢固,甚至可以說,網路時代就是奠基於資訊的公開、免費、迅速、共享等特質上。 +"A CC license comprises four elements--retention of the licensor's original attribution, non-commercial use, distribution in the original manner, and prohibition on modification of the work.",CC 授權包括 4 項要素,分別是姓名標示、非商業性、相同方式分享、禁止改作。 +"Other unique scenery in Kenting Park includes 'Weeping Banyan Valley,' 'Monkey Rock,' 'Sun Viewing Hill' and 'Silver Dragon Cave.'",接著,有「垂榕谷」、「棲猿岩」、「觀日峰」和「銀龍洞」,景色各異,均有特色。 +"The Institute of Information Science at Academia Sinica is the major force behind efforts to popularize CC licensing in Taiwan.

In case of rainy weather or typhoons, salt production is curtailed and the income of salt laborers decreases.",改善鹽民生活,為大眾共同關心的問題,因為台灣地區鹽田四千一百五十七公頃,如逢雨季或颱風,產量即受影響,鹽民收入自會減低。 +"His many ideas on ecology during a conference in Ilan drew the attention of then county county chief executive Yu Shyi-kun, who asked him to come and help out in Ilan.",一次到宜蘭參加會議,因為表達自己對環境生態的種種意見,引起當時縣長游錫 $ 的注意,進而邀請他來宜蘭工作。 +"Other alumni are among the leaders of the industrial and business world.

It should not negatively impact either local residents or its surroundings.",但他始終無法習慣於這種「為建築而建築」的工作,心底隱約生起一股模糊的概念:建築應與環境譜出共鳴,不應獨自矗立,更不應因為設計者的片面概念而傷害到居民及環境。 +"""If the locals can't even get in, then they will stop caring about these places in the future,"" he says, so Wong advocates setting aside a time during the low season for tourism or during off-hours when people who won't pay the high price of admission can have a chance to appreciate the beauty of world heritage.",黃效文因此主張,應分時段計價入園;旅遊淡季或當天離峰時間,讓不想付出高票價的人,也能欣賞世界遺產的美麗,自然會對這塊土地付出關懷。 +Caring for the environment can be a tough and lonely road and Huang doesn't want the glory all to himself. He calls on other architects to join in and to do their part in imparting Taiwan's environment with diverse creations.,這份對環境關愛的堅持之路寂寞而艱辛,黃聲遠不願獨享光環,他歡迎更多的建築師共同加入,以多元創作為台灣環境盡份心力。 +"The name means ""old pine tree.""

Needless to say, Huang and his team feel unjustly treated.",且受限於政府預算,有些工程必須分期、甚至分年進行,但卻被不明究裡、也沒有實地來訪的媒體批評為「閒置養蚊子」,讓黃聲遠和工作團隊深感委屈。 +"Every department has its own characteristics. For example, one ward concerns the diseases of coronary arteries, where the patients suffering acute myocardial impaction are given competent, vigilant care. Surgical service is able to perform such operations as chest, neuro-surgery and combatting cardiovascular diseases.

When Tsai discovered the presence of butterflies, he would pay attention to their every movement and consider how to draw near without frightening them.",蔡百峻首先面臨的是攝影設備不完善,初始他使用 NIKON F2AS 相機,這種全機械式的相機,拍照時要調整閃光燈、光圈和速度,而且閃光燈只有全光,無法改變出光源;發現蝶蹤時,還要專注牠的一舉一動,思考如何靠近又不會驚嚇到牠。 +"After a three-day visit, Mr. Pope expressed his view that the high spirit of the struggle for freedom by the free Chinese in Taiwan can be an example for other countries.",他們於三月七日結束訪問行程離台返美,臨行前並且表示,中華民國全國上下所表現的為自由而奮鬥的精神,足為全世界的表率。 +The most dramatic example of such close encounters was when he engaged in a game of hide-and-seek with the prized broad-tailed swallowtail butterfly (Agehana maraho).,最具戲劇性的,當屬他和台灣國寶「寬尾鳳蝶」的「躲貓貓」。 +Gen.

Night shifts",當年造成治安大震撼的陳進興,就曾是他們協助追緝的對象。暗夜大搜緝 +"Her matching of colorful threads parallels the matching of pigments. In embroidering, she works as if creating an oil painting.",她配色線就像配顏料,繡時就像使用油畫畫筆層層堆染,能配出各種生動的色彩,而層層加繡的結果,好象厚重立體的油畫。 +"Being a hard-working young lady, Yang Hsiu-chih has won praise and a reputation as an artist in embroidery painting.",在刺繡名家作品之餘,她也嘗試刺繡自己的繪畫,獲得藝壇好評。 +"""Sometimes you have to rely on informants to provide inside information that lets you keep on top of what's going on in your precinct,"" says Chi.",「有時候必須靠『細胞』(線民)提供情報,才能掌握勤區的治安動態。」 +"The main features of the project include the reservoir, dam, spillway, power plant, Tungkou diversion weir and diversion tunnels.

In addition, the project has improved public health, helped develop tourism and increased working opportunities.",此外,可以調節曾文溪下游河道流量,以防止水旱災;又可改善公共衛生,發展觀光與增加就業機會。 +"In Taipei neighborhoods, the sight of residents working so closely with police officers has led paradoxically to a lessening of respect for police authority.",在台北首善之區的社區裡,看得到里民與員警互動密切的合作模式,卻也反而有更輕視警察公權力的現象。 +"As residents live in security, they ought not to forget to thank these guardians of our public order.",民眾在安居之餘,也別忘了感謝這群治安褓母吧。 +WACL and APACL Joint Conference in Taipei,反共大團結﹘ ﹘世盟亞盟大會 +"He said: ""We call on the free world to draw a clear line between friends and foe, fly an unmistakably anti-Communist flag ... we also call on it to harden confidence in its eventual victory, strengthen the unity among free nations, display moral courage and fight unitedly to the finish.""",嚴總統於大會開幕時以地主國元首身份親臨致詞,呼籲自由世界,劃清敵我與敵友的界限,展開鮮明的反共旗幟,堅定反共必勝的信心,加強民主國家的團結合作,發揮無比強大的道德勇氣,共同奮鬥到底。 +"Even harder to believe was that this friend, who had no background in sinology, had not just one but two different translations of the I Ching, or ""Book of Changes,"" on his bookshelf. The Germans are a pragmatic people, I thought--he wouldn't put these books out to show off his ""culture"" or ""learnedness.""",更何況,這位德國朋友不是漢學專業出身,書架上卻擺了不只一本、而是兩種不同的《易經》譯本,根據日爾曼民族務實的個性,這應該不是拿來當做有學問的象徵或「文化裝飾品」吧? +"The five-day 10th general conference of the WACL and 23rd general conference of the APACL ended April 22.

There was even an academic forum for study of the I Ching set up by a university which often holds conferences and lectures.",從網頁中還可以發現,德國有數不清的「易經協會」、「易經研究所」、「易經同好者聯誼會」,以及附設在大學裡的易經學術機構和《易經》論壇。 +"He also remarked what a shame it was that the West only discovered it so late! Even Bob Dylan, the American singer perhaps second only to Elvis in popularity, praised the book, saying, ""I'm not trying to push it, I don't want to talk about it, but it's the only thing that is amazingly true, period, not just for me. Anybody would know it.",連鮑伯・狄倫,這位繼貓王之後最受景仰的美國民謠歌手,也強力向身邊所有人推薦:「你一定親身去體會《易經》,我不想講太多,只有一點:你一讀這本書,馬上會強烈感覺到,這一切都是真的!」 +"Anybody that ever walks would know it .... ""Eastern discovery German sinologist Roderich Ptak says I Ching studies have a long history in Europe, and there are more than 300 different translations of the work.

Their flesh also is regarded as a tonic by the people in the East.,所養殖的鰻魚以白鰻居最多數,肉腴味美,營養豐富,東方人視為進補聖品。 +"The eels exported live to Japan are made to hibernate in low temperature when air lifted. On their arrival at their destination, these eels will warm up and wake up.",我國輸往日本的鰻魚多使用包機冷藏空運,使鰻魚在低溫下冬眠,運往目的地後解凍復甦,仍呈鮮活狀態,營養與滋味絲毫不減。 +Canned eels also are exported in a large quantities.,冷凍加工熟鰻的外銷量也不少,但多採用貨櫃海運,以節省運費。 +"Academics generally agree that it was the best of its era. Later versions never matched these authoritative master translations, but they continued to appear both in Europe and America.",有了這幾位大師無可動搖與取代的經典譯作在先,後人的努力顯然黯然失色。即使如此,歐美專家學者仍前仆後繼,陸續有譯本出版。 +Chop-Making An Ancient Art Chop-making is one of the traditional ancient Chinese arts.
