一、Please translate the following paragraph into Chinese.
Expertise in marine meteorology constitutes an indispensable asset for the Taiwan Coast Guard Administration (CGA), enabling it to operate proficiently within Taiwan’s volatile and multifaceted maritime domain. Precise meteorological forecasting coupled with continuous real-time oceanographic surveillance empowers the CGA to orchestrate patrols with heightened safety and operational efficiency, execute search and rescue missions with optimal timing, and mount rapid responses to meteorological calamities such as typhoons. Comprehensive understanding of hydrodynamic phenomena, such as ocean currents, wave dynamics, and prevailing wind regimes, substantially mitigates operational hazards for personnel and vessels alike. Also, this specialized acumen underpins strategic decision-making in law enforcement and environmental stewardship, thereby augmenting overall mission readiness. In brief, the systematic integration of marine meteorological insights significantly enhances the Coast Guard’s capacity to ensure maritime security and safeguard human life.

一篇文長約 250 字的短文說明之。
請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題 Mark Bertram, 46, lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It’s life-changing but it’s not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.” After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking EricCatalano, an auto-finance manager turned tattoo artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in thestudio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink TattooStudio in Illinois. “Everything turned from funny to ‘wow.’” When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails that looked so real no one could believe theireyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world. The viral photopushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come fromas far away as Ireland to visit his shop. They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they saw online. Usingflesh-toned inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients’ view of themselves. Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, Mississippi, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. Sheunderwent countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip. “Plastic surgery gave me no hope,” she says. “So I lookedfor other options.” She ultimately traveled six hours for a session with Catalano. He camouflaged Pollan’s lip scar,giving her back a piece of her confidence. “You don’t understand until you’ve been through it,” Pollan says. “Itmade me have a different outlook on life.” Using tattoos to blend in rather than stand out is a relatively new field, but it is growing, thanks in part tointerest in cosmetic and plastic surgery. In fact, Americans spent more than $16.5 billion on cosmetic procedures in 2018. After tummy tucks, breast augmentations, and other procedures, some patients want to cover the scars thatare a product of such operations.
