英譯中：請將下面這段英文譯成正確、流暢的中文。
“Net zero emissions” is a global trend, and many countries are implementing carbon fees to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Taiwan plans to begin collecting carbon fees in 2026, marking the official start of a “carbon-cost era.” The fee structure will include a standard rate and a discounted rate. To qualify for the discounted rate, companies must create a “reduction plan” that outlines their strategies for lowering carbon emissions. Such strategies could involve switching to low-carbon fuels, improving energy efficiency, or using renewable energy sources. The introduction of carbon fees is an important step for Taiwan toward a low-carbon society and is a necessary response to the global climate crisis.

核心觀念
本題測驗英譯中的句意掌握、詞彙辨析及長句組織能力。文章主題是淨零排放與碳費，翻譯時應忠實呈現政策內容，並將英文的被動語態與修飾語轉成自然的中文表達。
解題方法
先依段落脈絡整理資訊，再逐句翻譯：
- 第一、二句交代全球趨勢及臺灣預計開始徵收碳費的時間。
- 第三至五句說明碳費費率架構、取得優惠費率的條件，以及減碳策略例子。
- 最後一句說明徵收碳費的意義。
翻譯時，carbon fees 譯為「碳費」，discounted rate 譯為「優惠費率」，reduction plan 譯為「減量計畫」。qualify for 表示「符合……資格」；outlines 在此指「列明」或「說明」策略。carbon-cost era 可譯為「碳成本時代」，保留原文所指碳排放須付出成本的概念。

2024 年秋天，強颱康芮（Kong-rey）襲擊臺灣，為數十年來所罕見，全臺市區街道災情不斷，樹倒、水淹到處可見，大規模的倒木也讓人們思考例如城鄉綠化等議題。而離島則是多處停電、網路斷線。颱風過後，政府全力投入相關災害應變作業，動員大量人力針對重點道路樹枝、落葉及雜物等加強清除作業，以儘快恢復環境的整潔。

核心觀念
本題測驗中譯英的句意分析、時態與英文新聞寫作常用搭配。翻譯時先抓出事件主軸，再依照「颱風侵襲與災情—離島受災情形—政府災後應變」的順序組織英文。題目以 2024 年秋天為明確時間背景，敘述已發生的事件，主要使用過去式。
解題方法
先將長句拆成幾個語意單位，再選擇自然的英文表達：
- 「為數十年來所罕見」可譯為 one of the rarest in decades，修飾颱風；也可用 a rare event in decades 表達。
- 「災情不斷，樹倒、水淹到處可見」可整理為 damage was widespread, with fallen trees and flooding visible throughout the island，避免逐字翻譯「災情不斷」。
- 「讓人們思考例如城鄉綠化等議題」可用 prompted people to consider issues such as urban and rural greening。such as 引出例子，prompt 表示促使某人思考或採取行動。
- 「多處停電、網路斷線」可譯為 power outages and Internet disruptions affected many areas。
- 「全力投入相關災害應變作業」可用 devoted every effort to disaster response operations；「動員大量人力」則用 mobilized a large workforce。
- 「針對重點道路……加強清除作業，以儘快恢復……」可用 stepped up cleanup efforts on priority roads to restore cleanliness as quickly as possible，以 to 表示目的。

The Role of Offshore Islands in Regional Economic Development
Offshore islands can serve as engines of regional development because they offer distinctive landscapes, marine resources, and cultural traditions. Penghu, an island county in Taiwan, shows how these advantages can support local livelihoods.
Tourism is one of Penghu’s main economic drivers. Visitors come for its basalt formations, beaches, seafood, and historic settlements. Their spending supports hotels, restaurants, ferry services, and local shops, creating jobs beyond the tourism industry itself. Fishing also contributes to the regional economy by providing income for fishing families and fresh products for restaurants and markets. In addition, carefully managed use of marine and other local resources can supply materials and strengthen related businesses.
However, island economies face particular challenges. Tourism is often seasonal, so many businesses earn most of their income during a short period. Islands also depend on costly transport links fo
