貳、               英文段落中譯 (50%)

1. Bureaucracy and corruption are intertwined. Wherever officials carry out rules, some are bent for friends and benefactors. The more regulations, the more bureaucrats, and the more corruption. Only a few countries with a strong ethos of public service – Denmark and Singapore, for example – have been able to maintain incorrupt public administration. Most countries in the world are corrupt, some a little and some egregiously. Corruption grows at the interface of public and private sectors. Shrink that interface and you shrink corruption. Perhaps the most serious problem with bureaucracy, alluded to previously, occurs when it becomes interlocked with and sometimes replaces other branches of government. (25%)                 

  

2. Participatory democracy is a general model for political, social and economic decision making based on the assumption that decision-making processes are most effective under conditions of direct participation by those persons most affected by decision outcomes. It involves the deliberative, systematic mobilization of constituent groups around issues and problems of common concern, the organization of forums for the expression of alternative views on the issues, and the implementation of decision-making procedures based on majority rule. Each member of the collectivity is allotted one vote, and, according to democratic voting procedure, the accumulation of votes on a given issue determiners the policy outcomes with respect to that issue.
