Ann Chu的部落格

之前以為最近會很閑
為了充實自己也為了貢獻社會
決定去當麻省理工「開放式課程」的翻譯義工
我自己認領了一門課Introduction to Environmental Policy and Planning, Fall 2005
因為跟所學有所相關
還莫名奇妙被assign另一門課Globalization, Migration & International Relations, Fall 2002
可不可以不要翻這種一點都不了解的課呀?沒想到認領完之後就變得很忙
拖了一段時間都沒開始翻
前天晚上想說不要再拖了
上工吧
結果翻一翻覺得好難喔

其實英文本身實在不難
但要翻成流暢精確的中文實在不簡單
我花了一小時
成果只有短短幾行
實在很沒效率耶
而且翻出的中文我自己還覺得不甚滿意哩
不過我盡量不逐字翻
而是翻意思
因為我看過很多逐字翻的文章和書
根本無法理解在說啥
還不如直接去看原文
希望我的翻譯不要變成那樣

我目前總共大概花了5小時
下面是我的工作成果(課程首頁+教學大綱)
有沒有覺得只有一點點呀
唉
我希望翻順了可以愈翻愈快啦
不知道全部翻完要多久
真是路遙迢啊

大家請給我一些建議吧
有沒有哪裏沒有翻出真正的意思或是有更好更精確的翻法呢?
Danke!

課程重點

這門課包括閱讀一系列完整的讀物，以及許多此課程專家的部落格。詳情請見作業。
This course features a complete set of readings, as well as excerpts from a class blog featured in the assignments section.

課程描述

這門課是環境政策與規劃的系列的第一個主題。首先我們回顧一些哲學辯論，包括成長與深層生態學，「命令暨控制式管制」和市場機制管制方法，精英專業和草根觀點的重要性。課程重點在於環境規劃技巧和策略。相關主題包括永續管理，生態系統管理政治學，環境管理以及公民社會角色的轉變，生態經濟學，完整評估(綜合環境影響評估以及風險評估)，科學偏重的政策爭議聯合事實調查，貧民和有色人種的環境正義，以及環境糾紛解決。
This course is the first subject in the Environmental Policy and Planning sequence. It reviews philosophical debates including growth vs. deep ecology, "command-and-control" vs. market-oriented approaches to regulation, and the importance of expertise vs. indigenous knowledge. Its emphasis is placed on environmental planning techniques and strategies. Related topics include the management of sustainability, the politics of ecosystem management, environmental governance and the changing role of civil society, ecological economics, integrated assessment (combining environmental impact assessment (EIA) and risk assessment), joint fact finding in science-intensive policy disputes, environmental justice in poor communities of color, and environmental dispute resolution.


教學大綱

課程目標
Objectives of the Course

這門課是基礎必修課。修課者多為都市計畫碩士班中主修環境政策與規劃的研究生，另外也包括所有對於下列議題有興趣的科技與政策主修生:「環境政策討論」，環境規劃方法與技巧。
This is the required introductory course for all graduate students pursuing environmental policy and planning as their specialization in the MCP Program. It is also open to all DUSP/TPP students interested in "the environmental policy debate" as well as the range of environmental planning tools and techniques that are the focus of the course.

這門課沒有先修課的要求。這門課的教學採用比較式，意即：對比世界上不同的案例。
There are no prerequisites. The class is taught comparatively, that is, with constant reference to examples from around the world.

這門課包括三部份: 環境政策討論，環境規劃技巧與策略，以及綜合與實務準備。課程的第一部將以討論的方式呈現：學生分組，嘗試就不同的相關哲學文獻來辯論。課程的第二部份則提供環境管理和規劃在技巧和策略方面的回顧。課程的第三部份將介紹環境政策團體中教授的工作，並幫助學生明確陳述日後在都市計畫碩士班的研讀計畫。
The course consists of three parts: The Environmental Policy Debate, Environmental Planning Techniques and Strategies, and Synthesis and Preparation for Practice. The first part of the course revolves around debate-style presentations in which student teams test contrary arguments drawing on the relevant philosophical literature. The second part of the course provides an overview of techniques and strategies for environmental management and planning. The third part of the course introduces students to Environmental Policy Group (EPG) faculty work and helps students formulate a plan for the remainder of their MCP studies.

紀錄日誌
Journal-keeping

這門課要求學生透過課程部落格寫日誌。你可以選擇跟同學們分享你的日誌，也可以選擇不公開它們。
Journal-keeping via the class blog is required. You may choose to share your journal entries with your classmates, or you may keep them private.

課程部落格的樣本請參考作業。
Examples from the class blog can be found in the assignments section.

參與模擬
Participation in Simulations

學生必須參與課堂和課外的模擬。兩場課內，兩場課外。這些模擬遊戲會提供一系列的情境，讓學生在面對許多制度上的困難時，可以有機會應用他們在課堂上學到的想法和技巧。
Participation in simulations (both in-class and out-of-class) is also required. Two games will be played in class and two will be played outside of class. These games present a series of situations in which you will have an opportunity to apply the ideas and techniques discussed in class in the face of numerous institutional obstacles.

第一個模擬是有關永續管理，第二個是有關環境影響評估，第三個是聯合事實調查，最後一個是設備選址時考慮環境正義。
One simulation deals with the management of sustainability, one with environmental impact assessment, one with joint fact finding and one with environmental justice considerations in facility siting.

參與辯論
Participation in Debates

四次辯論，每一位學生都必須選擇參加其中一次。辯論形式並非牛津式辯論。我們辯論的目的是希望更加了解不同倫理主張背後的哲學思考，而非辯出輸贏。你採用的觀點不會影響你的成績，而是根據你事前的準備以及辯論時你如何表達你的想法來決定。
Everyone will be asked to choose one of these four debates in which to participate. These are not Oxford-style debates. We are interested in understanding more about the philosophical underpinning of various "ethical claims," not in choosing a winner and a loser. Your grade will be solely a function of how well you prepared and presented your ideas, not on the point-of-view you adopted.

實習
Recitations

這門課並不要求學生上實習課，不過你或許會發現來上一些幫助很大喔。
Recitations are not required, but you might find useful the few that are scheduled.

成績
Grading

打分標準根據如下事項：個人參與(課堂討論，課外模擬)，網路參與(紀錄日誌以及時事評論)以及完成期末備註。期末備註你必須註明你要如何利用在麻省理工學院接下來的三個學期來預備自己成為有果效的環境規劃者。這門課沒有期末考。
Grading will be based on in-person (class discussion, out-of-class simulations) and on-line (journal writing, commentary) participation and completion of the final memo. In the final memo you will be asked to highlight how you intend to use the remaining three semesters at MIT to prepare to be an effective environmental planner. There is no final exam.
