＜ 國親要上訴 能有啥勝算? ＞
　　　　KMT lost the high court lawsuit, some people suspected whether the lawyer delegation KMT hired was incapable. However, KMT chairman Lien Chan was still very supportive to the lawyer delegation. The truth is, the KMT lawyers were under a lot of pressure during the past 7 months. It was a tough challenge for each of them to think of tactics to get the President annulled. Although they lost against DPP in the high court, but they are turning sadness into power. They have shifted their focus and hope to the year-end legislators election. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　　　選舉官司敗訴，外界質疑是不是國親律師團策略運用不當!國民黨主席連戰仍舊全力相挺律師團其實在長達七個月的訴訟中﹐國親律師團在身體心理壓力都很大﹐怎麼用法律手段處理政治問題﹐也是他門面臨最大的考驗雖然敗訴﹐國親立委面對年底選戰,還有另一種考量就是凝聚向心力﹐化悲憤為力量﹐著眼在年底的立委選戰

＜ 李昌鈺報告 今天要公佈 ＞
　　　　This CD contains forensics expert Dr. Henry Lee's report on the 319 shooting. The 130-page report is available for the public to download at the website of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. Within the report are the findings of medical examiner Dr. Cyril Wecht, who examined the president at the presidential office. According to Wecht, the first time he examined the injury was well after the 19th, and although he could no longer see the bullet's original point of entry, according to medical records, he can attest to the wound having been made by a low-velocity bullet. The report also contains pictures taken at the hospital. Lee also made a trip out to Tainan's 金華 Road, where the shooting occurred. Through the use of laser beams, he was able to estimate the position from where the shot was fired. However, in the conclusion, Lee still had questions and suspicions on the location where the bullet landed, and the chemical makeup of the gunpowder. He further stated any private reenactments of the shooting could only be used for reference purposes. The report is available at www.tps.moj.gov. tw. According to a government spokesperson, the purpose of releasing the report is to answer any questions the public may have. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　　　這片光碟記錄的就是鑑識專家李昌鈺博士所有的鑑識內容,最高檢查署放上網站公佈,供所有民眾下載,全文一百三十多頁。一開始就鎖定陳水扁總統的槍傷,知名法醫魏契到總統府看總統傷勢的經過,法醫表示當時看到傷口,已經距離槍擊案發生有一段時間,雖然看不到原本的傷口,不過根據就醫記錄,可以確定是低速彈頭所造成的傷口。全文報告搭配醫院的就醫照片,李昌鈺博士也對到台南金華路現場的重建做說明，透過雷射光,推出可能的射擊高度及位置,不過在結論中仍然提出疑點,包括彈頭掉落的位置,以及火藥的成份,並表示任何民間的試射都只能當作參考,整篇原文報告書登錄在網站,網址是WWW.TPS.MOJ.GOV.TW，而政府公佈鑑識報告的目的，就是回應各界長久以來的質疑

＜ 小紅人號誌 首創倒數器 ＞
　　　　Crosswalks can be as dangerous a place as the mouths of tigers. When pedestrians cross the street, there is always the possibility of a car or scooter suddenly rushing at them out of nowhere. Since the little green man started appearing on pedestrian traffic lights, the situation has improved somewhat since pedestrians now know how many seconds there are left before the light changes. This type of setup is now being used in the reverse in Taichung. Previously, at a red light, the little red man would be stationary while the screen underneath him would be blank. Now, seconds will tick down to let pedestrians know how long it will be until the light turns green. Pedestrians can focus their attention elsewhere instead of looking right and left. However, there are some worries that this pedestrian-friendly system will be used by drivers to gauge when to step on their accelerators, which could increase the likelihood of hitting a pedestrian crossing the street. Traffic lights can't guarantee safety, so pedestrians and drivers alike must be careful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　　　馬路如虎口,行人在通行的時候,最怕走到一半突然衝出一堆車子.自從有了小綠人的號誌,來不及過馬路的狀況改善了,還有多少時間可以通過,清清楚楚看數字就知道,而這樣的設計,現在有人把它反過來操作.綠燈變紅燈,原本呆板的小紅人,下方的數字,竟然也會開始變化.行人在等待過馬路的時間，可以站在人行道上從容地打電話,不必左顧右盼,有時候都站到機車道上了,還不自覺.但是也有人擔心,這個專門給行人看的號誌,會變成駕駛朋友用來觀察,到底還要等多少時間才能踩足油門往前衝的參考.因為這樣反而可能撞上還在斑馬線走的行人.號誌燈並不能保證一定安全,最重要還是自己要小心.不過有了小紅人,過馬路的時候很清楚知道還要等多久,對行人來說,倒也真是方便.

＜ 奇摩聊天室 下午要關閉 ＞
　　　　These chat room regulars type away furiously. Because in a few hours' time, Yahoo Kimo's chat room will be shut down for good. And indeed, when the clock struck 11 a.m., all chat rooms closed. There is no way to click into any of them. Yahoo Kimo says this is not something they are happy about doing. But they are forced to resort to this measure as the chat room function is abused by too many to spread sex. Even its large number of users understand the need to shut down. Internet users will have to learn to be disciplined and respect the convenience offered by cyberspace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　　　大家拼命打，拼命打，一抓到機會就趕快上網，因為再不上網，奇摩聊天室就要關閉。果真，上午十一點一到，奇摩聊天室真的關了，怎麼點選都進不去，雅虎奇摩說他們也不想這麼做，不過實在真的有太多人利用網路散播色情，到網咖看一看，上聊天室聊天的人還真不少，不過大家都覺得，關閉聊天室真的是不得已的方法沒錯，最重要的還是網友自治，否則也是徒勞無功。

＜ 銀行員加班 一週眼中風 ＞
　　　　　A 40-year old financial specialist worked overtime at his bank for an entire week and suffered a stroke in the right eye. The vision of the eye dropped to below 0.1. The doctor's diagnosis found that the veins of the eyeball had been completely blocked. Doctors are also finding that the age group in which eye strokes occur has been getting younger. Even patients in their 20's are suffering the symptom. The cause is generally overwork and staying up after hours. Those in the highest risk group are diabetics and patients with high blood pressure. And the current seasonal transition from autumn to winter is when stroke in the eye occur most easily. As the stroke requires steroid to treat and takes at least 3 months to cure, the best bet is to avoid staying up and working overtime. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　一名在銀行當理財專員的四十歲男子，因為連續加班了一個星期，竟然引發眼中風，右眼的視力不到零點一，醫師一檢查，發現男子眼球的靜脈全阻塞了醫師也發現，現在眼中風的年齡層降低，甚至有二十多歲的年輕人，大多是因為太過疲勞，熬夜造成的，其中又以糖尿病和高血壓患者最容易眼中風現在這個秋冬交接的季節，是眼中風好發的時刻，由於眼中風必須靠類固醇來治療，視力最快也要三個月才能恢復，上班族最好避免熬夜加班

＜ 選後的關係 美國會促談 ＞
　　　　President Bush won the U.S. presidency again. And whether there will be a change in U.S., China and Taiwan relations, some legislators believe the answer is no. However, no one can deny the remarks made by U.S. State of Secretary Colin Powell during his visit to Beijing. How do Taiwan and U.S. build trust is the number one task to do after U.S. election. Some scholars believe that President Bush could help Taiwan retrieve dialogue with China. President Chen Shui-bian also said to the public that next year in Spring is the best time for the cross strait to talk. But how exactly could we do this. Would U.S. be a 3rd person delivering message for us? We're all looking forward to see how U.S. can help us.

＜ 萬那杜建交 高英茂推手 ＞
　　　　It should have been a happy occasion. While the Republic of Vanuatu's national flag flies outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reports have been circulating that Vanuatu's Foreign Minister set off firecrackers in Vanuatu to show that Vanuatu Prime Minister Vohor made the trip to Taiwan and signed the documents privately, without the knowledge or consent of the Foreign Minister. Therefore, the newly established diplomatic ties are not only invalid, but Vanuatu will continue to uphold the One China principle. Republic of China Foreign Minister Mark Chen, on the other hand, continued denying that there were any problems. In the past, Taiwan's diplomatic ties with countries such Papua New Guinea were declared invalid due to political changes.Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can't afford not to investigate this matter to the fullest.

＜ 國親的喊話 連宋下午說 ＞
　　　　Here is the KMT's office. DPP and PFP legislators criticized the high court for being injustice because the high court were expected to deliver their verdict on whether the result of the March 20 presidential election should be annulled, but because of Pan Green's political pressure and involvement, the high court did not dare to do a more thorough investigation. PFP chairman James Soong was not safistied with the result as well. On the other hand, DPP asked the Pan-Blue to learn from their U.S. counterparts Kerry. They wish the Pan-Blue to stop create chaos for the sake of peace in society. Soon after the high court announced the result, Lien Chan, James Soong, Wang Jing-ping and Ma Ying-jeou held a media conference.

　　Always worry about not making enough money and constantly with debts or all sorts of loans? These are the lives of many Taiwanese younsters nowadays, said the Pan-Purple alliance. They wish to see the Pan-Blue and Pan-Green be more concern about Taiwanese youngsters' poverty problem, and not only fight about nonsense everyday. Pan-purple alliance emphasized that right now none of the legislator candidates have talked about solving youngsters' poverty problem. Therefore, they're asking the youngsters to step forward for themselves by voting for the Pan-purple, who will help them voice the injustice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　追著錢不斷地跑，間上還背了沈重的經濟包袱，這就是現代台灣多數年輕學子的寫照。隨著選戰越打越熱，泛紫聯盟和一群青年朋友站出來，要求藍綠陣營應該重視青年貧窮問題，而不只是打口水仗。泛紫聯盟強調，立委參選人根本沒有提出任何關心青年貧窮的政見，因此要呼籲青年朋友，用選票來反抗不公平的剝削。

＜ 台灣七彩魚 世界第一名 ＞
　　This is the champion rainbow fish. Its scales have hints of silver and blue. And its crown is especially large. The fish swims elegantly and a little mysteriously underwater. These are the three fish 鄭文欽 brought to Germany to compete and brought home the trophy with. And he not only took home one trophy, but won all four categories. He raises the national flag as Taiwan's rainbow fish takes the throne as the world's number one. What is interesting is that Cheng's aquarium is far from a passing fancy. Fueled by passion, Cheng spent 6 years modifying the breed to come up with the champion fish. As the fish swim happily in the tank, Cheng's next goal is another school of champion fish bred right here in this aquarium. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　七彩神仙魚中的第一名，就是這一隻。鱗片銀中帶藍，重點是魚冠特別大，游起來姿態優雅，又帶有點神祕。鄭文欽就是帶著魚缸裡這三隻魚，在德國參加世界比賽，結果這座重到抱不起來的獎盃，他就一連拿了四座，大滿貫！高舉國旗，台灣的七彩魚世界第一！更厲害的是，鄭文欽養魚的地方十分簡陋，但他卻是靠著熱誠，花了六年的時間改良品種，才培育出了冠軍魚。現在這魚缸裡活潑的魚群，是鄭文欽繼續努力的目標，下一隻冠軍魚，一定也是出生在這裡。

＜ 柳丁塑心型 一粒一百元 ＞
　　Each of these oranges hang from the tree, looking like pink heart-shaped candy boxes. Passersby all think the oranges are decorations hung on the tree. But taking a closer look, a lot of knowledge goes into this phenomenon. As everyone knows, oranges are round in their natural form. But grown within heart-shaped boxes, they grow into heart-shaped oranges. This was the brainchild of a 古坑 fruit farmer. The success rate for these oranges is nearly 70%. But these oranges aren't just cute-looking; they are delicious as well. The sweet heart-shaped oranges are carefully grown in a controlled environment, requiring a lot of hard work on the part of the farmers. The first heart-shaped orange was successfully produced in July, and fruit farmers came up with the idea of stamping the orange's skin with a special character, making them very popular with young people. Although each orange costs around 100 n.t., the farmers have decided to only grow 1000 of them, because orders are coming in at too fast a rate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　一顆顆吊在樹上，好像糖果的粉紅色愛心盒，路過的人都以為是裝飾樹上做造型。仔細一看，裡面大有學問。原本長得圓滾滾的柳丁，在心型盒子裡，也變成了心型的柳丁。原來這是雲林古坑鄉果農想出來的新點子。而且成功率相近七成。但別看心型柳丁這可愛模樣，以為不怎麼好吃，一吃才知道箇中驚奇。這樣甜美的心型柳丁，除了小心栽種，在環境維護，果農更是煞費苦心。今年七月才種植成功的心型柳丁，果農還發揮巧思，讓外皮印上特殊的字樣。大受年輕人歡迎。雖然一顆心型柳丁，就要一百元，但是果農打算先試種一千顆，因為現在的訂單已經接不完了。

＜ 華航變國營 為外交困境 ＞
　　　　In 1995, the aircrafts of China Airlines began to wear the emblem of the plum blossom. This is after 36 years of having the national flag on the planes. The change was made with intentions of altering China Airlines' image - from close ties with the government to a more privatized organization. In addition, it was difficult to travel with the ROC flag on the aircrafts. But now, China Airlines is back where it was, shouldering responsibilities of national diplomacy. In fact, aviation rights has always been soft diplomacy for governments. This is seen in flights to Hong Kong and to European countries Taiwan has no diplomatic ties with. But this change in policy may interfere with China Airlines' privatization process. Legislators have asked China Aviation Development Foundation, China Airlines' largest shareholder, for a briefing. During the briefing, it was disclosed that the airline had already released its shares. Legislators charged that the sale of the shares was unreasonable; the CADF was low key in response and said it will study the situation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　　　揹了36年的國旗，華航1995年開始換裝，飛機上的圖案換成梅花，當時，華航就是要擺脫國家航空公司的形象，朝向民營邁進，因為背著國旗，到很多國家都受到刁難，但現在，華航又要走回頭路，肩負國家外交任務事實上，讓航空公司肩負外交任務，一直是航權談判的彈性做法，包括台港航權，以及歐洲無邦交國家的航權，都是這麼談來的。只是這樣的政策轉彎，會不會影響國營事業民營化的進程，立委找來華航最大股東，航發會高層來報告，結果竟然發現，華航早以其他名目釋股，立委猛批華航釋股手段不合常理,航發會只好摸摸鼻子,說要回去繼續研究,再做說明


＜ 史地說廢考 現在又要考 ＞
　　　　First level of public servants examination will be held next year on January 15th. The announcement could have been announced much earlier. It was due to the arguments started up by Chief of Examination 林玉 体 who thinks the public servants examination should not cover China's history. However, the real decision is made upon Examination Yuan and it will announce its decision on Thursday. Those who are taking public servant exams, did you hear? 林 玉体's meaning of Taiwan history only includes Taiwan, Pong Hu, Kim Man, Ma Zu and just a small part of history on China and Japan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　　　公務人員初等考試預定明年一月十五日舉行 ，考選部早該公告，但因為典試長林玉体落實本國就是台灣的理念，引發本國是否包括中國史地爭議，如今確定本國史地還是要考，但命題範圍仍待考試院會周四確認才能公告，林玉体說那些反對的他的，根本不敢面對問題反對的試委暫時不多說，但試委們意見不合，讓考生無所適所考生們聽清楚了嗎，林玉體典試的本國史地只要台澎金馬，以及和台灣有關的中國、日本史等


＜ 沈富雄造勢 李鎮楠蘋果 ＞
　　　　To show his anger over being named in the Apple Daily's list, DPP legislative candidate 李鎮楠 smashed the apple in his hand, spraying apple juice in his own face as well as the faces of the reporters surrounding him. Lee was showing how he felt, but did he have to punish the reporters, none of whom were from the Apple Daily? Is "LP" a dirty word? Candidate 沈富雄 , on the other hand, has been campaigning while asking people to stop using dirty words including "LP." The pan-blue camp hasn't yet publicly announced whether they will be allocating votes, but in Nantou, TSU candidate 陳啟吉 invited the top four DPP candidates to run with him under one banner in order to unite pan-green voters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　　　立委李鎮楠不滿被蘋果日報點名問政不認真，這麼狠狠一戳，手中的蘋果，頓時爛成一攤，飛濺的蘋果汁，噴得李鎮楠滿臉都是，貼身採訪的媒體記者，一群不是蘋果日報的，也全中鏢！臉上身上，到處都是蘋果汁，擦呀，抹呀，立委非常造勢，記者非常狼狽！ＬＰ算不算髒話﹖另一名參選人沈富雄，發起拒說髒話運動，要大家別在出口閉口ＬＰ，究竟配不配票，國親還沒有共識，但在南投，台聯立委參選人陳啟吉登高一呼，邀請民進黨四大天王，也能跨黨站台，拉抬泛綠選情

＜ 真調會調查 輪到調查局 ＞
　　　　Led by the head of 319 Truth Probe Committee 施啟揚, the delegation went to visit the Investigation Bureau. Director of Investigation Bureau 葉盛茂 came out to welcome them in person. 319 Truth Probe Committee has come across some progress in investigating. They learnt that on the day of March 19th, there was a black color van at the scene. Although the van had flags of Chen-Lu campaign flags but no one knows who was the van driver. Spokesperson of 319 Truth Probe Committee 王清峰 hopes civilians who know something can come forward and speak to them. The committee had so far met with Police Bureau and Investigation Bureau. However, the two bureaus won't provide a detailed information to the committee until it is legal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　　　真調會由召集人施啟揚領軍，這次拜會的地點是調查局調查局局長葉盛茂親自接待。真調會這次拜會調查局，已經有進一步的線索。在319槍擊案發生的當時，現場有一輛黑色休旅車，上面雖然插上了陳呂的競選旗幟，不過，經過過濾，卻始終查不出車主是誰？隨後趕來的真調會發言人王清峰，希望有民眾能夠提供線索。不只是懸賞的獎金，現在就連真調會本身的運作經費，也成了問題。前後拜會檢方和警方，這一站來到調查局，只是這些當時協助辦案的單位，恐怕在大法官釋憲結果出來之後，才能提供比較確切的情報。


＜ 耳鼓助聽器 固定式較好 ＞
　　　　A glance at Ms. Lin would not reveal her handicap. But once she lifts her hair, we can see a hearing aid she wears. Lin has not been able to hear since she was 2 years old. And with this newest model, the device is so small it can be hidden behind the ears, covered by the hair. The most important part is, Lin can hear with no problem and is able to hold a normal conversation with people. This new hearing aid can be used two months after the surgery for 4-5 years without a change of battery. Children under the age of 5, however, are not suitable for this device. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　　　我們第一眼看到林小姐，就覺得他和一般人一樣，只是當他撥開頭髮，我們看到了這個助聽器，才知道原來他兩歲開始，就聽不見聲音，不過這個最新的骨固定式助聽器，不小到可以隱形在他的頭髮裡面，最重要的是，林小姐可以清楚的聽到記者的問題，可以正常的和大家交談，彌補了他的遺憾。而且這種新式的助聽器，在手術兩個月以後就可以使用，而這一用，就可以用上四到五年不需要換電池。不過要提醒的是，這種助聽器，不適合五歲以下的兒童。


＜ 彩繪派出所 膽子真是大 ＞
　　　　The group of children kneel in front of the police station, holding up paintbrushes. They discuss amongst themselves what color this wall should be painted, and what pictures should be painted on it. It doesn't occur to them that the owners of the wall, the police force, may be upset by their actions. Seeing that the children delight in painting the walls with butterflies and grass, the policemen decide to join in and help paint. They say that the station is indeed becoming run-down, and this way, they won't need to make the repairs themselves. Seeing the fruits of their labor, the children express confidence in the abilities of the policemen to catch criminals. In their hearts, these policemen are their protectors, and by repainting the station, they are also giving area residents something new to look at. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　　　一群小朋友蹲在派出所前，拿起畫筆，大膽的討論著這面牆要用什麼顏色，又該畫什麼好，完全不怕這面牆的主人，也就是裡頭的警察叔叔，會出來罵人小小年紀就知道，要做好警民關係，看小朋友們畫的開心，又是蝴蝶又是草，就連警察叔叔也親自出馬，幫忙畫，他們說，反正派出所老舊，剛好不用再油漆裝修看看完成的作品就知道，小朋友對警察抓壞人很有信心，而且在他們心中，警察叔叔永遠是他們的保姆，這樣彩繪派出所，也讓民眾對警局有了煥然一新的感覺。


＜ 觀光來相親 越娘見公婆 ＞
　　　　At 天后宮, one of Penghu's biggest tourist attractions, five beautiful Vietnamese women suddenly appear, arousing the interest of tourists. This is the matchmaking service's newest gimmick, bringing the women to Taiwan as tourists so that Taiwanese men won't have to travel abroad to find a foreign bride. All of the Vietnamese women brought over by the broker can speak Chinese, and all are in their early 20s. Although they appear shy, they speak clearly. According to industry insiders, the price for meeting a foreign bride this way is 300,000 n.t., and although it's more expensive than traditional methods, the bride comes with post-sale services. If the bride should run away or be incompatible with her husband during the first year of marriage, the broker will introduce a second candidate for free. Is this a real guarantee? The men may have to take the plunge to find out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　　　澎湖著名的觀光景點天后宮，突然出現五名漂亮的越南女子，引起觀光客注意，原來這就是婚友社仲介外籍新娘的新花招，讓男性不用組團到國外相親，果然讓男性都挺心動的。這些由婚友社帶來得越南女子，都會說國語，才二十歲出頭，雖然面對鏡頭有些害羞，不過講起話來挺有想法。業者說，這樣辦到好要三十萬，雖然比較貴，但是他們還有售後服務，一年內新娘如果落跑或個性不合，還可以免費在介紹一個，這樣的促銷手法聽起來很新奇，不過到底有沒有保障，消費可要睜大眼睛。


＜ 放生鳥捕捉 買賣的真相 ＞
　　　　Most people think that they are doing good deeds if they set birds free. But have they ever thought of where exactly did the birds come from? According to a research, Taiwan has 155 bird shops. 63 of the shops provide birds for people to buy then set free. The fact is, it won't be called doing good deeds if you see the process of how birds get set free. The birds were put in a crowded cage; they have to struggle to get some air. Some of the birds died from out of air before they get to the woods. Besides being inhuman, the traditions of buying birds then set them free has caused an imbalance in Taiwan nature. Animal protest organizations found out that many bird shops would import birds to Taiwan for religious group members to purchase and do good deeds. As a result, a few Taiwan bird species had extinct because of mating with imported birds. Seeing the birds fly out from the cage. We wonder if they are really free from now on? Would the haunters catch them again? Do you still think the act of buying birds then setting them free is doing good deed? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　　　在民眾眼中，讓這些鳥自由飛翔，就是做功德，但有沒有人想過，這些鳥到底哪裡來的？根據調查，台灣155家鳥園，有63家會販賣鳥隻提供民眾放生，但這些鳥兒在運送到放生地點前，有很多被困在網子裡，看看他們掙扎的樣子，這哪叫做功德，還有部份鳥兒在放生前就被悶死了。除了不人道，放生鳥也對台灣生態造成影響，動物團體調查就發現，很多鳥園為了應付宗教團體放生活動，會進口大批的鳥隻，現在市面上放生鳥類多達35種,也有許多是外來種.造台灣本土鳥基因混淆,一些特種鳥類因此而消失看著鳥兒爭相飛出牢籠,展翅高飛,他們真的從此可以獲得自由嗎？還是又會被獵捕成為下一次放生的工具？再看一次他們痛苦的掙扎，這是做功德嗎？
