<< review queue entry 70464 - submitted by 'tubbums32' >> New word not in the system; obtained via Youtube CC ------------------------------- Editor: “可我手脚还利索，我还想有所作为。” "But there's plenty of mileage in these limbs of mine, and lots of things I want to do yet." 七年前，羅同邑心想，在台灣這樣的社會，年輕人要有所作為，除了投入半導體那樣的高科技產業，否則就得在傳統中尋找「可以突破」的行業。所以他在永康街找到一個三角窗的黃金店面賣起冰來。 Seven years ago, recalls Luo, about the only choices for an ambitious young person in Taiwan society were to go into high-tech fields like semiconductors or otherwise to find some traditional business in which one could "make a breakthrough." So he rented a storefront on Yungkang Street and began selling bing. 鑑於國際及兩岸間的變數無法由台灣自己掌控，國家內部卻可以有所作為，本土化的呼聲於是應運而生。 While international and cross-strait variables were beyond the unilateral control of Taiwan, something could be done inside the country, giving rise to calls for bentuhua [variously translated as "Taiwanization" or "localization"]. 但醫師可以有所作為，不代表無所不能。 But although there are things doctors can do, this does not mean that they can do everything. 我想為盲人開一條路，讓別人知道盲人也是可以有所作為的。 I want to open new doors for blind people, and help society realize there's plenty we can contribute 當周邊亞太各大都會都在想盡辦法狂打形象、拉攏觀光客時，夾在其中的台北當然也要有所作為。 "Cities around the Asia-Pacific region are clamoring to build an image for themselves and draw in tourists, and Taipei is naturally doing the same," 「如果民眾期待政府有所作為，租稅就有其存在價值。」 “If the people expect the government to do things, then taxes have a rightful place in society.” 未來他希望能在國際救援、難民救助和公共衛生災害方面有所作為。 In the future he hopes to work in public health connected to international aid, refugee assistance, or disaster relief. 「政府出面統合資源，才能有所作為。」 “The only way we will achieve anything significant,” says Chen, “is if the government gets involved and coordinates resources.” 這帶給李宛儒很大的衝擊，原來年輕的自己並不如想像中渺小，也能有所作為，為國家貢獻心力。 This brought home a dramatic realization: although she was young, she wasn’t as helpless or impotent as she had thought—she could make a difference and contribute to the nation. |
