Sales of organic fruit and vegetables increase sharply after plasticizer scare (2011/06/12)
Retailers of organic foodstuffs are experiencing a bonanza. Sales of organic foods have increased by 30 percent and more with items such as cucumber with alleged detoxification properties selling like hotcakes as consumers try to protect themselves.
With consumers everywhere unwilling to eat out due to the fear of plasticizers in food, many have turned their attention to organic fruit and vegetables.
Orders have been flowing in so thick and fast that this store has sold out of cucumbers and tomatoes. In another community-based organic store sales have increased significantly since the plasticizer scandal broke.

Fruit and vegetable (sales) have increased about 30 percent. Originally, we would only order supplies once a week. Now it’s two or three times a week.
Well known for its detoxification qualities cucumbers have been in short supply recently. The public is not only afraid of buying food tainted with plasticizers, organic fruit and vegetables that help detoxification have become the hottest items.

With our set meals customers receive a free organic fruit and vegetable salad. Sales have increased about 50 percent.
To protect themselves, consumers are prepared to spend a little more. Generally speaking, organic foods are more expensive by at least 30 percent and some items are twice the regular price but consumers are saying that good health is priceless.

桃縣英文路標翻譯大不同 混淆不清外國人也霧煞煞
2011/06/10 10:02 記者范文濱╱桃園報導
道路英文標示大不同；大溪鎮的僑愛一街、僑愛巷英譯名字出現不同版本，造成來訪的外國朋友找不到路窘境！桃園縣議員楊朝偉服務處日前接獲民眾反映，外國朋友來訪時竟然發現找不到路名，且找到的指示路牌與標示不同，9日楊朝偉議員實地了解，發現「僑愛一街」與「僑愛巷」的「僑愛」英譯不同，的確造成外國朋友的困擾。建議桃園縣交通局儘速爭取經費全面改善，以免鬧國際笑話。
縣議員楊朝偉表示，經向桃園縣政府交通局反映，才發現桃園縣縣內大多數的道路都有相同的情形，對於桃園要邁向國際化的確是一大諷刺，經深入了解，因為過去桃園縣內英文路標都採取「注音二式拼音」的標法，在民國九十八年接獲中央指示改為「漢語拼音」，但卻因為縣內道路路牌數量過多且修改經費龐大，桃園縣政府交通局只好逐年編列預算改善，以重要路段優先，以致於縣內大多數的地區都有類似的情形。

第一科大應德系師生為柏林短片影展翻譯
更新日期:2011/05/23 16:36洪慧瑜
「2011柏林短片影展」入圍精選短片將來台展出，「Interfilm」公司委託國立高雄第一科技大學兩位德籍教師狄向風及吳沃剛老師，與高慧霞老師共同帶領23位應用德語系學子，為14部入圍「柏林短片影展」的作品進行德中翻譯，由於是第一次接到這麼有趣的案子，同學們都表示：「超有成就感的啦！」應德系狄向風老師表示，這項翻譯工作可讓同學在進入職場前能累積更多的實務經驗，對同學而言也是個生動有趣的初體驗。
柏林短片影展是世界最重要的短片競賽之一，每年都會吸引數百位來自全世界不同文化背景的國家參賽。此次能接下「柏林短片影展」的翻譯工作，該校應德系吳沃剛老師表示，將此次翻譯的重責大任向同學說明後，沒想到有多達23位同學自願報名參加，讓老師們感到非常欣慰。吳沃剛老師將這23位同學分成6組，並將14部入圍影片分配給各組同學帶回家翻譯，再找共同時間將所有同學集合起來互相討論。
「我們曾經為了一個單字吵了一整晚，隔天一早趕緊拿著影片去找老師爭辯」該校應德系四年級游濡璟同學在回想當時翻譯討論情形好氣又好笑地說道。高慧霞老師表示，同學在翻譯過程中，的確會遇到許多困難點，例如德國方言，在尚未理解其語言背後衍伸的歷史背景及涵義時，同學得透過德籍老師的解說，才能了解其文字背後的涵義。該校應德系游濡璟同學表示，每逢開會討論工作時，老師都會很貼心地準備披薩與潛艇堡犒賞他們。「是啊!他們還會嫌說披薩吃膩了呢！」吳沃剛老師開玩笑地回嘴，也能從對話之中看出老師與同學之間的感情就像朋友一樣融洽。

連橫翻譯作品 台語文之美
更新日期:2011/05/28 23:01
台語文寫作是否適當？引發作家黃春明和學者蔣為文大戰，而且爭議還在繼續延燒，立委管碧玲也秀出連戰的爺爺連橫所寫下的「孟子齊人章」台語翻譯手稿，要證明台語文書寫不但很優美，也很有歷史，復興台語文應該得到尊重。
立委管碧玲一字一句唸的，就是孟子齊人章的台語翻譯版，連四書五經的文言文，都能用台語翻譯書寫，手稿的作者正是連戰的爺爺、也就是台灣通史的作者連橫，這樣的功力，讓管碧玲很佩服，尤其在台語文寫作風波的當下，更是感觸良多。搬出連橫，管碧玲聲援蔣為文，力挺台語文學。

英文成語學習
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
(入境隨俗)
所謂「到了羅馬，就像個羅馬人。」，當旅行踏上一片新土地時，不能再事事依照自己國內的做法，而應該遵循當地的慣例。
其他有關Rome 的成語也有

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
早睡早起的人享有健康、財富和智慧。)
但隨時代的改變，這種尊崇勤勉的諺語也慘遭年輕世代的修理。
(Early to bed and early to rise and your girlfriend goes out with other guys.)
(早睡早起，女朋友跟別人約會去。)
Early to bed and early to rise or the boss will promote the other guys.
(早睡早起，要不升職加薪就沒有你。)

Penny –wise and pound-foolish.
(小事精明，大事糊塗。)
所謂penny-wise,對便士(penny)般的小額金錢精打細算(wise)。而pound-foolish是指對英鎊般高額金錢卻馬馬虎虎地管理不當。全句意思是「關於處理金錢上的事務,細微末節錙銖必較，關係重大的卻馬虎草率」。從個人的財務支配到國家的財政管理，都可以句做為批判。
