1. 請將以下短文翻譯成中文。(50%)Transfers in large multimodal public transport networks are almost inevitable. One or more transfers are made for trips in many of the major cities around the world: 30% of trips in London, 80% in New York, 70% in Munich, 40% in Paris and 50% in Melbourne. However, public transport users often link transfers with inconvenience. Inconvenient interchanges can disrupt passengers' travel giving a negative travel experience and reduce public transport's competitiveness as compared to the car which provides a door-to-door service. For example, passengers, particularly commuters and business users, would prefer to select fast and direct routes for their journeys. An assessment of public transport transfer options and suggestions for the improvement of interchange within large multimodal networks can not only improve the quality of public transport but will enlarge its network effects.
2. 請將以下短文翻譯成英文。(50%)道路交通安全一直是我國道路主管機關持續關注的課題,世界各國也無不以改善道路交通安全為焦點目標。交通事故是全球第九大死因,每年約有 125 萬人死於道路交通事故,更有數千萬人因而受傷,並造成全球平均約 3% 的 GDP 損失。相關研究更指出,每減少 10% 的交通事故死亡人數可以增加約 3.6% 的 GDP 成長。由此可知,道路交通事故不但帶給事故當事人及其家庭極大之傷痛與損失,對國家及社會亦帶來不可忽視之經濟與國力傷害。
