關於愛，我是個小學生。

豬小妹，這次要請我吃什麼啊？

Part I:
The Department of Land Economy
劍橋大學土地經濟系簡介
The Department of Land Economy is a leading international centre, providing a full programme of taught courses within an intensive, research-oriented environment. It was ranked first amongst universities submitting to the Town and Country Planning Panel in the recent Research Assessment Exercise.
本系沿革已具國際學界領導地位，備有各領域相關課程規畫，英國城鄉研究委員會評鑑為全英第一。
Land Economy, as a subject, considers the role and use of land, real estate and environment within an economy. It applies particularly the disciplines of economics, law and planning for the analysis of the governance of land use, urban areas and interactions with other environmental resources.
土地經濟學，顧名思義，為研究土地及不動產之經濟價值及其有效利用。運用經濟學理分析，著重於土地利用評估、城鄉區域間之經濟互動、及與環境資源之相互配合。
The Department addresses contemporary problems as well as more fundamental analysis. This includes both the role of governments in establishing regulatory frameworks within which land and related markets operate and the role of private organizations in owning, managing and developing physical and financial assets within those markets. This combination gives the Department of Land Economy a unique and valuable perspective of critical public and private issues.
基礎理論搭配現今問題研究，有著於政府規劃有效之土地利用分配，並顧及民間土地持有與自由土地市場交易之現實環境，設計出一具體且兼顧財經預算考量之市場配套措施。本系因此受到各界不論公營機構或私人企業團體之重視與倚重，學術地位超然獨立，且頗具公信力。
The Department currently has over 40 teaching and research staff and approximately 320 students. We have a three year undergraduate course and a postgraduate program that offers both instructional and research based M-Phils, as well as a three-year PhD. Research within the Department falls into one of our two research groups, namely Real Estate and Urban Analysis and Environmental Economy and Policy.
本系目前教職員共計四十名、在學學生三百二十名。設有三年制大學短期課程，亦有三年制碩博士研究課程，其中又分為不動產研究與城市環境經濟策略與評估兩大分支。

Part II:
Undergraduate Courses:
Introduction: Land economy is about analyzing and managing change, particularly change in the use of property, the environment and natural resources. It deals with finance, law, economics and resource management. At its core, land economy combines the disciplines of law and economics with reference to our environment. Land economy is therefore:
本系大學課程簡介：
土地經濟系主要研究旨趣在於分析土地財、環境、與自然資源三者間之差異與相互關係。內容多與財政學、相關土地法、以及經濟管理學密切相關，並為之核心課程。故有以下之授課安排及特色：
■ interdisciplinary: the Department's two primary disciplines are law and economics. Students are given a thorough grounding in both, especially as they apply to land use, urban areas, real estate, and the environment
課程科目：以法學與經濟學為主，授以嚴謹之基礎內容，內容涵蓋土地利用、市區規劃、及不動產原理等等。
■ applied: land economy is not just theoretical. It applies established disciplinary tools to solving contemporary problems, and this is what distinguishes it from more theoretical courses in geography or economics
務實應用：利用學理基礎並配合實用教學工具及設施，訓練學生處理實際問題之能力，此特色亦為本系與其他較偏重理論研究之科系如地理系或經濟學系不同之處。
■ highly rigorous: it has an intellectual coherence, and the individual papers in law and in economics have the same rigor as those in the Faculties of Economics and of Law
教學嚴謹：著重理性思維，兼顧學生於法學與經濟學之個人研究，且將嚴格要求之等級達到與純理論研究科系之要求同等。
■ highly topical: land economy tackles the critical issues of the day. These range from the design of legal instruments for environmental protection to an analysis of the financial strategies for real estate; from the law and economics of protection of historic buildings to the effects of the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Community and the role of the World Trade Organization
重視時事：土地經濟與時事息息相關；舉凡土地法規、環評法規、財經政策、古蹟保護、歐盟農業政策、與世貿組織相關規定等等，皆是本系注意之重點。
■ readily marketable: today's students (and their parents) want to be sure that their university education will provide them with skills that employers value. It is no longer enough simply to rely on a general education. Land Economy graduates have found fulfilling careers in a broad range of professions and industries and the graduate employment rate is one of the highest in the university
出路多元：大學學生或家長皆關心其未來謀職出路等問題，通識教育以不敷現今市場需要。本系歷屆畢業生謀職管道多元且蒙受各業界重用，就職率已居本校各科系之冠。
■ international: problems of land economy arise in all countries, and the course is attractive to an international range of students.
具國際觀：綜觀世界各國，皆存在一定之土地經濟問題，深受來自世界各地之學生及研究人員青睞。

The Land Economy course encourages students to develop an understanding of complex economic, political, and administrative questions. For example, how can the efficiency and profitability of industries dealing with the land, natural resources, and buildings be improved? How should private development objectives be balanced against the need to conserve social assets? How can the impact of economic or other activity on the environment be assessed and appropriately regulated? Can the divisive effects of uneven economic development (whether within the nation, region, or city) be ameliorated? In poor countries, what should governments do in the face of the explosive growth of urban areas and rural depopulation?
本系課程旨在鼓勵學生培養對於政治、經濟、及管理學等多重問題之思考能力；例如：就某一企業體而言，其廠房大樓設施與所處環境、土地資源之間，如何能作一最佳化之分配與獲利能力？又如：如何能在節省社會資源的前提之下，將個人獲利發展達到最大？經濟發展與環評如何協調？如何改善城鄉或國際間經濟發展不均？對於貧窮國家而言，如何避免城鄉發展落差過大與鄉村人口流失？
The development of an analytical capacity to tackle complex questions such as these provides a stimulating education for students who take Land Economy. Moreover, the explicit emphasis in course-work upon the interactions of the private and public sectors ensures that Land Economy graduates are well suited for employment in the modern world.
本系對於上述問題，皆能提供有效之學習方向與資源。此外，透過於公私營企業機構實習過程中，更能幫助學生未來更勝任於現代化之就業環境。
The Cambridge course has strengths that are unmatched anywhere else. It is not a vocational training course in town and country planning, environmental management, or chartered surveying, although it contains elements of each. Continued accreditation by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors is tangible recognition of its high practical value, and the degree also provides partial exemption from the examination requirements of several other professional institutions including the Law Society and Bar Council. Students enjoy the advantages not only of Cambridge and College life, but also of having a first-rate teaching Faculty, with an international research reputation and a wide range of interests. These are the people who are at the centre of the debate about policy changes, and the subjects they teach and the way they teach them have no parallels elsewhere.
本系所提供之教學品質，不僅學習理論，實務亦能兼顧並重；國內實習、實務操作管理、列表分析、市場調查等，皆是所學範圍，其涵蓋之廣，堪執世界之牛耳。本系研究屢屢受到皇家市場分析調查機構之表揚與推崇，本系學位並獲得多家學術機構如英國法學會、愛爾蘭巴爾法學會等免認證之殊榮。於本系就讀，不僅可享受國際知名之劍橋大學生活，亦能師承世界第一師資。劍橋畢業生於世界各地相關領域之服務與輝煌成就紀錄而言，一般大學，實難望其項背。
Further advice on the admissions procedure for prospective land economists may be obtained by telephoning or writing to the Director of the Tripos Programme at the Department (e-mail landecon-ugadmissions@lists-cam.ac.uk).

話說豬小妹到了劍橋後，思念故鄉友人，有感而發，也寫了新詩一首：

無聊地我走了， 
正如我不耐地來； 
我不屑地招手， 
作別圓桌的夜晚。 

無奈地我求你，
正如我流淚地的再來； 
我說一聲 ｢英翻中，趕快！｣ 
你將熬夜，披著雲彩。
