本題考查敘事與說明文體的英譯。考生應注意長句的結構重組,善用分詞片語(如 transcending, delivering, allowing)來串聯動作,避免逗號連綴(comma splice);同時需掌握精確詞彙,如「資源不足地區」、「運輸工具」及具體動物名詞的單複數一致性。
【譯文】 A mobile library is a vehicle serving as a library. Around the world, numerous mobile libraries move from one place to another, going beyond the limits of traditional libraries to deliver books to potential readers, allowing people living in previously under-resourced areas (such as remote regions) to access library services. Aside from motor vehicles, mobile libraries can also rely on a variety of other modes of transportation, including bicycles, boats, and trains, as well as elephants, camels, horses, and mules. In Colombia, a teacher started his mobile library in 1997, delivering books into the hands of students. Initially, people said he was crazy. Upon seeing him show up, they would mock him, saying, "The circus is in town." Twenty years have passed, and he has now developed a donkey library network employing a staff of twenty, and has even built a red-brick and concrete library in his hometown. 【重點詞彙/句型】
