一、英譯中：請將下列文章翻譯成中文。(20 分)The European Commission is taking action to tackle risks stemming from lowvalue imports sold via non-EU online retailers and marketplaces hosting nonEU traders.

This is twice as many as in 2023 and three times as many as in 2022, and many of these goods have found to be non-compliant with European legislation. This exponential growth is raising numerous concerns. Mainly, there are more and more harmful products entering the EU.More so, European sellers, who respect our high product standards, are at risk of being harmed by unfair practices and the sale of counterfeit goods through online marketplaces. Finally, the large number of packages being shipped and transported has a negative environmental and climate footprint.

二、英文寫作：請閱讀以下短文之後，撰寫兩段英文。第一段請以英文摘 譯文章重點，約 150-200 字英文。第二段請用英文申論你是否同意政 府不作為是保護本國貿易的良好策略，約 200 字英文。        近期美國商務部為了強化貿易救濟措施之執行，針對反傾銷稅及 平衡稅規則進行重要的修法，該修正草案已於 2024 年 4 月 24 日生 效。本次重要的修正包括了政府不作為概念之提出、特殊市場狀況要 件之明確化及處理跨國補貼之問題等。修法呈現出美國貿易法為反映 全球貿易現況所做的努力，也提供其國內產業得以對抗不公平貿易之 有力工具。首先，政府不作為之概念係將外國政府怠於執行勞動、環 境、智慧財產權等保護重要權力之法規情況，視為對企業賦予利益之 行為。由於此一不作為會降低企業之生產成本進而對國際貿易造成不 公平，因此美國在此次修法中特別將此概念納入衡量。其次，本次修 法更詳細規範反傾銷法中之特殊市場狀況要件之適用，包含將政府不 作為所造成之成本扭曲現象納入替代價格及比較基準的衡量因素中。

一、英譯中：請將下面這段英文譯成正確、流暢的中文。        Research shows that trade openness can increase women’s incomes and consumption. Eliminating import tariffs raises the average real income for female-headed households compared with male-headed households in more than three-quarters of the 54 developing economies analyzed. On average, real income gains reaped by removing import tariffs would be 2.5 percent greater for households headed by women than for those headed by men. In countries such as Burkina Faso and Cameroon, this increase is equivalent to one year’s spending on education or health.        Opening up to trade therefore benefits women in developing economies because it expands the sectors where women work, reduces prices for the goods women consume, and allows firms that are more productive to grow. Increased competition generated by trade also makes it costlier to discriminate against women, which narrows the wage gap and improves working conditions for women.
