<< review queue entry 63001 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> I have reworked the lit. part. I think it's an improvement in the wording. TP ~ [Last year the college sponsored five or six seminars on the subject to try to make up for the gap.] 遠水卻救不了近火，幾場教學影響所及也只是杯水車薪。前些日子，部份心急如焚的家長召開公聽會，開始積極為孩子爭取受教權。 Nevertheless, "distant water is of little use in putting out a fire right here." A few seminars can have about as much impact as "a glass of water on a roaring blaze." Recently, some anxious parents have convened several public seminars in an effort to guarantee their children's right to an education. 各國對龜鱉類動物的利用不斷增加，要等人類把龜族的生態弄清楚，提出合理利用、保護辦法，猶如遠水救不了近火。 With demand for turtles and their products growing worldwide, there isn't enough time to wait for humanity as a whole to get clear about chelonian ecologies and adopt protection measures and reasonable-use policies. 「我們會針對未來的職場需求和失業者的特色，努力開發新職類，」雖是遠水救不了近火，但林聰明指出的大方向相當明確： "With regard to the future job market and characteristics of the unemployed, we will work to develop new occupational categories." Though such future measures are of little immediate help, the direction Lin Tsong-ming is pointing to is already quite clear. 以目前而言，治標問題恐怕還是得從法律著手，從教育下手，遠水救不了近火，應當多管齊下。 At this point in time, I still think we've got to use legal means and education to address what are admittedly symptoms of a deeper problem. [Sean Fu points out that so long as operators of e-papers do not get antsy, and take the long view, there's considerable room for growth in the paid-subscription field.] 然而，遠水救不了近火，電子報當下的利基何在？ Yet, "distant water cannot put out a nearby fire." What can e-papers do to make profits now? 台中市大仁國小的科學實驗也證實，蓋斑鬥魚是十足的大胃王，一隻○•六克的魚每天可以吞食三百隻孑孓，牠們才是名副其實的超級捕蚊高手！可惜，遠水救不了近火，因為蓋斑鬥魚已列入保育名錄第二級瀕危物種。 Science experiments by children at Tajen Elementary School in Taichung City also showed what big eaters the fish are: one weighing just 0.6 grams can eat around 300 mosquito larvae in a day. Paradise fish really are mosquito hunters worthy of the name. But sadly this is of little help in the fight against the disease-carrying bugs, for paradise fish are now so rare that they are listed as a Grade 2 endangered species. 雖然社會上有不同聲音，但在遠水救不了近火之下，積極推動英語教學的縣市，對教育部引進外籍師資的反應頗為熱烈。 Although society is full of conflicting opinions, those who are eager to promote English-language study have greeted the prospect of importing foreign teachers with considerable enthusiasm. |
