第 二 題
根據近日一項調查顯示，有高達七成一的受訪民眾對於創業一事興致勃勃，其中包括有意願但還在評估的占 52.9%，及已經創業的占 18.1%。相較於去年的六成二，今年想創業的人更多了；另有 14.8%坦言曾經創業但已收攤，以及 14.2%無意願創業。調查也發現，想創業的主要原因有薪水太低想增加收入、以副業開啟斜槓人生、個人興趣專長的發揮、追求工作與生活平衡、及取得工時的彈性以照顧家人。

考生看到此題應先梳理長句結構，特別注意數字與比例的英文表達模式（如 up to, including, compared to 等）。其次，精確轉換中文特有的時下用語，如「收攤」（close down/go out of business）與「斜槓人生」（slash career/lifestyle），並保持原因列舉時的詞性平行對稱（Parallelism）。
【譯文】 According to a recent survey, up to 71% of the respondents show great interest in starting their own businesses, including 52.9% who have the intention but are still evaluating the option, and 18.1% who have already started one. Compared to 62% last year, more people want to become entrepreneurs this year. Additionally, 14.8% admitted that they had previously started a business but already closed it down, while 14.2% have no intention of starting a business. The survey also found that the main reasons for wanting to start a business include low salaries prompting a desire to increase income, embarking on a "slash" career through a side hustle, utilizing personal interests and expertise, pursuing work-life balance, and gaining flexible working hours to take care of family members. 【重點詞彙/句型】
