一、英譯中：請將下列文章翻譯成中文。       A reciprocal tariff is a tax or trade restriction that one country places on another in response to similar actions taken by that country. The idea behind reciprocal tariffs is to create balance in trade between nations. If one country raises tariffs on goods from another, the affected country might respond by imposing its own tariffs on imports from the first country. This response is meant to protect local businesses, preserve jobs, and fix trade imbalances.       Reciprocal tariffs can lead to a back-and-forth increase in trade barriers, potentially resulting in a trade war that negatively impacts both economies. Such situations can disrupt supply chains, raise prices for consumers, and slow down economic growth. It is important for countries to communicate openly and work together to settle trade issues instead of turning to reciprocal tariffs.

一、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.
