【文章翻譯】

中華民國消費券是一項刺激經濟的方案。消費券發放給每一位於二○○九年三月三十一日前出生並持有合法戶口登記的中華民國國民。消費券的目的是為了遏止主要受全球金融危機影響所造成的台灣經濟衰退。民眾可在一月十八日當天至消費券發放處或於二月七日至四月三十日期間至指定的郵局領取。一月十八日一大早,隨處可見民眾大排長龍,等待領取消費券,因為他們迫不及待想用來購物。

根據內政部資料,有百分之九十一點三的民眾在一月十八日當天就領取了消費券,比去年三月舉行的總統大選百分之七十六點四的投票率還要高。消費券在台灣幾乎可以用來購買所有物品,但不可用於購買樂透彩券或支付整型手術費用。對於那些仍不確定要把消費券用於何處的民眾,有些議員建議民眾可以捐給慈善機構。他們表示,三千六百元對於有錢人來說可能是區區小數,但對弱勢家庭卻很有幫助。

【文章翻譯】

位於坦尚尼亞境內,赤道以南約二二○英哩一個熾熱地區的吉利馬札羅山,是全非洲第一高峰。儘管位在炎熱的地帶,高山上還是有許多冰河及冰原。冰帽對於其周遭地區相當重要,也是尼羅河河水的源頭。吉利馬札羅山地區的許多村落都仰賴其冰雪融化而成的水。

吉利馬札羅山的面貌不斷在改變。科學家指出,自從一九一二年以來,超過百分之八十的冰河已經融化,導致生活在這座山附近平原上的動物逐漸絕跡,許多植物也瀕臨絕種。人們開始猜想在多久之後,吉利馬札羅山上的雪白冰帽就會完全消失。為何會有這樣的事情發生?有些科學家認為這塊熱帶地區的炙熱氣候使得全球暖化的影響更為嚴重,舉例來說,這裡的雪比世界上氣候較涼爽的地區融化得快。其他科學家則認為,吉利馬札羅山的森林面積減少可能是造成冰河面積縮減最大的人為影響。常因為採蜜人在試圖用煙將蜜蜂燻出蜂窩時所造成的森林大火,不僅使空氣溫度升高,更減少了空氣中的水分。這些改變使得當地的降雪變少。如今科學家相信這座山上的冰河可能將會在二○二○年完全消失。
