台灣央行在週四上修今年的經濟成長預測，縱使面臨本土武肺疫情，台灣仍能維持強力的出口暢旺和如預期的利率穩定，因而維持了倚賴出口的經濟。

台灣央行將原本在6月份預估的2021全年GDP為5.08%調升到5.75%。

台灣在2019年的GDP成長到2.71%，隨後的2020年則為3.11%。

台灣2021年第一季GDP為8.92%，第二季則是為了防止疫情擴散而部分封閉，導致GDP下滑至7.43%。

Taiwan’s central bank revised up the island’s growth outlook for the year on Thursday as strong exports bolstered a trade-reliant economy that has boomed even in the face of local COVID-19 cases, also keeping interest rates steady as expected.

The central bank raised its 2021 estimate for gross domestic product (GDP) growth to 5.75% from the 5.08% forecast in June.

Growth hit 3.11% in 2020, after expanding 2.71% in 2019.

GDP expanded by 7.43% in the second quarter of 2021, down from 8.92% in the first quarter, pulled lower by a partial lockdown to prevent domestic COVID-19 infections from spreading.

「校正回歸」英文怎麼說？

疫情指揮中心的官方用語是「The CECC retroactively added 400 cases to the total number of COVID-19 cases calculated over the past week」。

疫情指揮中心將４００例本土個案校正回歸至上週統計之個案總數。

但是使用英文時必須考量語域（register）。例如跟朋友溝通時，用詞應不會如此正式。我個人可能會跟朋友說：「The CECC revised/adjusted/updated its COVID-19 case count today.」然後再更進一步地補充說明，使聽者了解整件事的來龍去脈。

相關詞彙：

•retroactively 有追溯效力地；溯及既往地
•COVID-19 case count 新冠病毒案例
•revise 修訂；修正；修改
•adjust （尤指為了使某物更正確、有效或合適而）調整，調節
•update 更新； 提供最新資訊

校正回歸，我會這樣翻譯：

Cleared the backlog and revised the official daily case counts

backlog 就是過去累積的大量工作或案件
clear the backlog 就是把它處理完
revise 修正
official daily case counts 官方每日確診數

In 2020, with the global pandemic of novel coronavirus as a challenge in our life marked by impermanence, Dharma Drum Mountain made an extra effort to calm people’s mind through the power of religion. To be in line with the disease prevention measures, it organized a series of online Dharma assemblies to pray for the world, and offered various online group practice activities, streamed in real time at its branch practice centers at home and abroad, for practitioners to continue with their practice during the pandemic. In addition, its social care work, including visits and emergency relief efforts, as well as academic exchange activities were never compromised despite the pandemic. Its lay and monastic practitioners continued to uphold Master Sheng Yen’s compassionate vow, consistently dedicated to promoting the purification of human minds and enhancing world peace and harmony.


A revised version, the Memorial Edition of Complete Works of Master Sheng Yen 2020 comprising altogether 108 books was published. Dharma Drum Mountain expects to give the collection to interested centers for Chinese studies and major libraries around the world, for Master Sheng Yen’s insight to be shared with global readers.

To welcome the year 2021, let’s pray that we can all use the calming power of Buddhist practice to help transform distress and suffering in the world, enabling everyone to truly enjoy peace and ease.

當時看到這個有種很驚奇的感覺
也是少數第一眼看到直接就買了的遊戲
藉由字母的拼湊可以啟動機關或是推演劇情
不過由於是英文語系所以相對的就多少要有些認知就是了w
然後有點末世又奇幻的新系列就在這邊正式展開了(?
