4.語言是人類藉以表情達意,相互溝通的工具。語言學是以科學的方法研究語言的學問,是研究語言 的各個方面,像是音韻、構詞、語法、詞義等,而科學的方法是系統的方法,研究的内容是實證科 學,而非抽象虛擬的內容。

1. One way to make AI smarter is to have it learn from its environment. Cars of the future, for example, will be better at reading street signs and avoiding pedestrians as they gain more experience. But hackers can exploit these systems with 'adversarial attacks": By subtly and precisely modifying an image, say, you can fool an AI into misidentifying it. A stop sign with a few stickers on it might be seen as a speed limit sign, for example. The new study reveals AI can be fooled into not only seeing something it shouldn't, but also into behaving in a way it shouldn't. (https://www.sciencemag.ory/news/2019/12/watch-ai-goalie-psych-out-its-opponent-most-hilarious-way)

2. Like most robots, social robots use artificial intelligence to decide how to act on information received through cameras and other sensors. The ability to respond in ways that seem lifelike has been informed by research into such issues as how perceptions form, what constitutes social and emotional intelligence, and how people can deduce others' thoughts and feelings. Advances in AI have enabled designers to translate such psychological and neuroscientific insights into algorithms that allow robots to recognize voices, faces and emotions； interpret speech and gestures； respond appropriately to complex verbal and nonverbal cues； make eye contact； speak conversationally； and adapt to people's needs by learning from feedback, rewards and criticisms. (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/social-robots-play-nicely-with-others./)

3. A bit more on 'multidimensional analysis," for the curious. The goal of this method is to model stylistic variation in a database of text. To do that, a computer program takes a large amount of text data and figures out which of dozens of grammatical structures-like types of verbs, questions, superlatives, and plenty more---are most common in each of the individual texts dataset. Finally, the analysis identifies patterns across groups of grammatical forms, which taken together can group the texts into different "'dimensions." Looking at the dimensions that account for the biggest variation in grammar within the dataset can explain the differences in style over time.  (https://qz.com/1153080/trump-tweets-analyzed-by-linguists-reveal-five-characteristics/)

5.一周一次的語言課程,目標並非精進語言,而是透過課程介绍文化,讓小學生認識不同族群的生活方式和文化价值。透過選擇語言必修課程的當下,能了解有各種不同文化的人在這塊土地上生活。 若以國家力量去證明新移民文化的重要,歧視就大幅減少。 (https://www.bbc.com/zhongwen/trad/chinese-news-48798125)

Adding to this will be a spectacular cruise terminal, for those favouring an Odyssean approach to the port city. A sleek light-rail system links these monuments to the rest of Kaohsiung. Further north, in Xiaogang Shan Recreation Area, hikers can view the Taiwan Strait from the new 88m 'Eye of the Mountain' skywalk, a reminder that water is ever-present.

一、英翻中1. 以下文字節選自投資經理人Bill Gross 的每月投資展望文章〈Bonds, Men, It's About Time〉,請依其語域(register)譯為適當中文。(待譯部分共211字)Women have gotten the short stick or metaphorically the short rib ever since Eve, and I'm with Oprah for president and much, much more but hey, guys have got a few positive qualities that need to be mentioned. I mean when basketball players miss a free throw these days, they still get "low fives" from all their teammates. So here are a few low fives for men, men, men.1. Men need fewer pairs of shoes and purses.2. Men live 10 years less on average.3. They truly are the weaker sex. Feel sorry for 'em ladies, not angry.4. Men shouldn't be criticized for not putting the toilet seat down. If they need to put it down, they will. If women do too, they can use their foot just like everyone else. Men run faster, jump higher and are much better at not communicating.5. Sure men start wars but great things actually are a result of them. Canned foods owe their origin to Napoleon, microwave ovens to the invention of radar during WWII, and the Internet (not Al Gore) to the fear of Russia bombing U.S. telephone lines during the Cold War. Way to go guys. Keep starting those wars.6. Men always know where the remote control is. Right next to them.[本小題以下段落僅供語氣參考,無須翻譯。]I could go on and on. I won't. I don't dare. Actually most of the world's problems would go away if men just stayed home, watched football and learned to talk to their partners during commercial breaks. There are certainly enough of them.Bonds, like men, are in a bear market. For both, it's hard to say when it all began. There was no Helen Reddy "I Am Woman" moment back in June 2012, and then again in July 2016 when the 10 year Treasury double-bottomed at 1.45%, but then in retrospect it should have been obvious that for bonds, like men "their time was up".

二、中翻英 (50%)Translate the highlighted text into English(Source: https://www.taiwan.net.tw/m1.aspx?sNo=0001020, 503 characters).端午節端午節與春節、中秋節並稱三大節日,因其由來和習俗,幾乎都和紀念戰國時期楚國詩人-屈原有關,故民間又稱「詩人節」。端午節最普遍的習俗為「划龍舟」和「吃粽子」。據說早年屈原投江而死,人們為搜救他,紛紛駕舟楫在江面來回找尋,此後逐漸演變成龍舟競渡。時至今日,划龍舟已是一項遍及海內外的觀光活動,全臺北、中、南各地(如臺北新店碧潭及基隆河、宜蘭縣冬山河及礁溪鄉二龍村、彰化鹿港鎮、高雄市愛河等),每年均有大型龍舟競賽,近年還擴大舉辦國際邀請賽,邀請國外朋友共襄盛舉。包粽子習俗是為防屈原身軀被魚蝦啃蝕,人們於是在竹葉中裝進米食投入江中餵食江魚,傳承至今,即演變成一項普遍習俗。除此之外,另有各種舊習俗在民間廣為流傳,如在門上懸掛艾草、菖蒲、榕枝等,藉以驅避蚊蟲;懸掛鍾馗畫像、佩帶香包及飲雄黃酒還等以保平安。中元節農曆 7 月俗稱「鬼月」,在傳統習俗中,從農曆 7 月 1 日凌晨起地府鬼門開到農曆 7 月 29 日鬼門關的這段期間,民間為祈求消災解厄、諸事順利平安,各地均舉辦大大小小的祭典,尤以 7 月 15 日中元節這一天達到祭典的最高潮。其中如基隆市政府舉辦的「雞籠中元祭」、宜蘭縣頭城及屏東縣恆春的搶孤,都是中元節重要的傳統習俗。END

2. 摘錄自“January 2020 Global Economic Prospects: Slow growth, policy challenges”(標題和灰底部分無需翻譯) (127 words)Source:https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2020/01/08/january-2020-global-economic-prospects-slow-growth-policy-challengesFollowing its weakest performance since the global financial crisis, the world economy is poised for a modest rebound this year- if everything goes just right.Hanging over this lethargic recovery are two other trends that raise questions about the course of economic growth: the unprecedented run up in debt worldwide, and the prolonged deceleration of productivity growth, which needs to pick up to bolster standards of living and poverty eradication.Global growth is set to rise by 2.5% this year, a small uptick from 2.4% in 2019, as trade and investment gradually recover, the World Bank's semi-annual Global Economic Prospects forecasts. Advanced economies are expected to slow as a group to 1.4% from 1.6%, mainly reflecting lingering weakness in manufacturing.Emerging market and developing economies will see growth accelerate to 4.1% from 3.5% last year. However, the pickup is anticipated to come largely from a small number of large emerging economies shaking off economic doldrums or stabilizing after recession or turbulence. For many other economies, growth is on track to decelerate as exports and investment remain weak.
