中文 HSK 7–9（台灣版） 聽力練習 第 3 回

第 1 段　Taiwan's density of convenience stores ranks among the world's highest — over thirteen thousand. They offer very diverse services: besides selling goods you can pay bills, send parcels, print documents and even handle some government business. Scholars say they've become community 'life centres'. Others worry that over-reliance on them is causing traditional corner shops to disappear.

旁白台灣的「便利商店密度」名列世界前茅，全台超過一萬三千家。便利商店提供的服務非常多元，除了販售商品，還能繳費、寄送包裹、列印文件，甚至申辦部分政府業務。有學者指出，便利商店已經成為台灣社區的「生活中心」。但也有人擔心，過度依賴便利商店，讓傳統的柑仔店逐漸消失。

第 2 段　The black-faced spoonbill is a winter migrant, flying each October from the north to the Qigu wetlands in Tainan and returning in March or April. In 2002 only a little over a thousand remained worldwide; after years of conservation there are now over six thousand, more than half wintering in Taiwan. The local government set up a reserve and restricts development near the wetlands so the rare bird has a safe habitat.

旁白台灣黑面琵鷺是一種冬候鳥，每年十月從北方飛到台南的七股濕地過冬，隔年三、四月再飛回去。2002年全世界的黑面琵鷺只剩下一千多隻，經過多年的保育，現在已經增加到六千多隻，其中超過一半在台灣過冬。當地政府設立了保護區，並限制在濕地附近開發，讓這種珍貴的鳥類有安全的棲息環境。

女陳先生，您經營一家專門修理老電器的店，這個行業現在很少見了。

Mr Chen, you run a shop repairing old appliances — a rare trade now.

男對，現在東西壞了，大部分人都直接買新的。可是我覺得很多老電器的品質其實很好，只要換個零件就能再用十幾年。我這家店已經開了三十五年了。

Yes — most people just buy new when something breaks. But I think many old appliances are well made; change a part and they'll last another decade. My shop has been open thirty-five years.

女來修理的都是哪些客人？

Who brings things in?

男以前多半是老人家，最近年輕人反而越來越多。有些人是為了環保，有些人是捨不得爸媽留下來的東西，像是一台老收音機，裡面有很多回憶。

It used to be mostly older people; lately more young people. Some for the environment, some can't bear to part with things their parents left — like an old radio full of memories.

女最難修的是什麼？

What's hardest to repair?

男最難的是找零件。很多工廠已經不生產了，我只好從其他壞掉的機器上拆下來用。所以我的倉庫裡堆滿了舊電器，看起來像垃圾，其實都是寶貝。

Finding parts. Many factories no longer make them, so I take them from other broken machines. My storeroom is piled with old appliances — they look like junk but they're treasures.

男黃教授，您長期研究台灣的「夜市經濟」，夜市對台灣有什麼特別的意義？

Professor Huang, you've long studied Taiwan's night-market economy. What does it mean for Taiwan?

女夜市不只是吃東西的地方，它也是很多小家庭維持生計的方式。一個攤位往往是一家人共同經營，爸媽煮、孩子收錢。根據我們的調查，全台大大小小的夜市有三百多個。

It's not just somewhere to eat — it's how many small families make a living. A stall is often run by the whole family: parents cook, children take the money. Our survey counts over three hundred night markets of all sizes.

男近年來夜市面臨哪些挑戰？

What challenges have they faced recently?

女第一是人力，年輕一代不太願意接手這麼辛苦的工作。第二是環境衛生和噪音，讓附近居民抱怨。第三是外送平台，很多人不必親自去夜市，也能吃到夜市的小吃。

First, manpower: the young generation is reluctant to take over such hard work. Second, hygiene and noise, which neighbours complain about. Third, delivery platforms — many people can eat night-market food without going.

男您認為夜市未來該怎麼發展？

How should night markets develop?

女我認為要保留夜市的人情味，這是外送無法取代的。同時也要改善衛生、規劃垃圾處理，有些夜市已經開始使用環保餐具，效果很好。

Keep the human warmth, which delivery can't replace, while improving hygiene and rubbish management; some markets already use eco-friendly tableware with good results.

第 5 段　Listeners, today's programme is about drone delivery. Deliveries have relied on lorries and scooters, but in mountains and on outlying islands transport is poor and a parcel may take days. Taiwan has begun trials of drone delivery, especially urgent medicines and medical supplies. In a mountain village in Hualien residents used to drive two hours to a city hospital for medicine; now the hospital loads it onto a drone and it arrives in twenty minutes. But there are limits: payloads are small — mostly under five kilos for now; drones can't fly in bad weather or strong wind; and in dense cities flight safety and privacy are debated. Experts think drones won't replace traditional delivery soon but can be a good supplement in remote areas.

旁白各位聽眾，今天的節目要談的是「無人機送貨」。過去送貨主要靠貨車和機車，但在山區和離島，交通不便，一份包裹可能要好幾天才能送到。近年來，台灣開始試驗用無人機運送物品，尤其是急需的藥品和醫療用品。在花蓮的一個山區部落，過去居民要拿藥，必須開車兩個小時到市區的醫院；現在醫院把藥品裝在無人機上，二十分鐘就能送達。不過，無人機送貨也面臨不少限制。首先，它能載的重量有限，目前大多只能載五公斤以下的物品。其次，天氣不好或風太大時，無人機無法起飛。此外，在人口密集的城市，無人機的飛行安全和隱私問題也引起討論。專家認為，無人機短期內不會取代傳統的送貨方式，但在偏遠地區，它可以成為很好的補充。

第 6 段　Today's cultural talk introduces Taiwanese glove puppetry, a traditional theatre of hand-operated puppets brought from Fujian in about the nineteenth century. Early shows were at temple squares on small stages needing just two or three performers, mostly history and folk legends. In the mid-twentieth century puppetry moved to television, creating hugely popular characters; ratings once topped ninety per cent, and some people even skipped work to watch. As TV offered more, audiences shrank. Recently teams have combined computer animation and effects to make films and web series, attracting young viewers and reaching international markets. Performers say that although the form has changed, basic puppeteering skill matters most; a mature puppeteer often trains for over ten years.

旁白今天的文化講座要介紹台灣的「布袋戲」。布袋戲是一種用手操作木偶的傳統戲劇，大約在十九世紀從福建傳入台灣。早期的布袋戲在廟口演出，戲台很小，只需要兩三個人就能表演，內容多半是歷史故事和民間傳說。到了二十世紀中期，布袋戲進入電視，出現了許多深受歡迎的角色，收視率一度高達百分之九十以上，甚至有人為了看布袋戲而不去上班。後來電視節目的種類越來越多，布袋戲的觀眾逐漸減少。不過，近年來有團隊結合電腦動畫和特效，把布袋戲拍成電影和網路影集，吸引了不少年輕觀眾，也走向國際市場。表演者表示，雖然形式改變了，但操偶的基本功仍然最重要，一個成熟的操偶師往往要練習十年以上。

第 7 段　Hello everyone. Today let's talk about 'food miles' — the distance food travels from farm to table. The further it goes, the more energy is used and the more carbon dioxide emitted in transport: an apple air-freighted from abroad may have several times the emissions of a local one. So some advocate 'buying local' — mostly food produced locally and in season. Besides being greener, seasonal produce is usually fresher, more nutritious and cheaper, and it supports local farmers. Taiwan now has many farmers' markets where shoppers buy directly from growers and learn how food is grown. But buying local doesn't mean never eating imports: some foods Taiwan can't produce or doesn't produce enough of, so some imports remain necessary. What matters is giving a little more thought when shopping, knowing how your choices affect the environment.

旁白大家好，今天想談談「食物里程」這個概念。所謂食物里程，是指食物從產地到餐桌所經過的距離。距離越遠，運輸過程中消耗的能源和排放的二氧化碳就越多。舉例來說，一顆從國外空運來的蘋果，它的碳排放可能是本地蘋果的好幾倍。因此，有人提倡「在地消費」，也就是盡量購買當地、當季生產的食物。這麼做的好處不只是環保，當季的蔬果通常比較新鮮、營養，價格也比較實惠，同時還能支持在地農民。台灣近年出現了許多農夫市集，消費者可以直接向農民購買，了解食物是怎麼種出來的。不過，在地消費並不代表完全不吃進口食物。有些食物台灣無法生產，或是產量不足，適度進口仍然是必要的。重要的是，消費者在選購時能多一分思考，知道自己的選擇會對環境造成什麼影響。
