Grade 8 · Hand in at the beginning of March
Choose one building, road or bridge in this town and find out what was there before it. The principal will read the best three.
You may not use only what you find online. At least one of your sources must be a person or a paper you have held in your hand. If the person you talk to cannot remember clearly, write that down too; it is part of the answer.
Do not choose the old wall. Eleven students chose it last year, and the library has no more material about it.
八年級 · 三月初繳交
選擇本鎮的一棟建築、一條路或一座橋,找出它之前那裡是什麼。校長會閱讀最優秀的三份。
不可以只使用網路上找到的資料。你的來源中至少要有一位真人,或一份你親手拿過的紙本。如果受訪者記不清楚,也請把這件事寫下來;那也是答案的一部分。
請不要選那道舊牆。去年有十一位學生選它,圖書館已經沒有更多相關資料了。
Dear Sir,
I am a Taiwanese student at Sun Hill School. Our class is studying the old wall in the north of the county for a history project.
At the wall there is a sign with four lines about that particular king; you can point a finger at two dates on it. Two dates on that sign do not agree with the dates in the county history book of 1978, which we found in the library. The sign says the work started in 1420; the book says 1428.
We are not sure which is correct, and we do not assume the sign is wrong. Could somebody tell us where the date on the sign came from? If it is an error, many visitors read it every week.
Chen Li, Grade 8
敬啟者:
我是陽光國中的台灣學生。我們班正在為歷史專題研究縣北那道舊牆。
牆邊有一塊寫著四行字的牌子,介紹那位特定的國王;你可以用手指指出上面的兩個年代。牌子上的兩個年代,與我們在圖書館找到的一九七八年縣志中的年代不符。牌子寫的是一四二〇年動工,書上寫的是一四二八年。
我們不確定哪一個正確,也不假設牌子是錯的。能否請人告訴我們,牌子上的日期是從哪裡來的?如果那是錯誤,每星期都有許多遊客讀到它。

Walk through any old town and count the stone figures. Most of them show men who took armies to war. Almost none are of the people who built the roads under your feet.
This is not because nobody thought those people mattered. It is because a stone figure costs money, and for most of history the people with money were the people with power. A town remembers what somebody had the money to have remembered.
Some towns now put up small signs: the name of the woman who ran the first school, the family who kept the river boat for eighty years. They cost almost nothing. But a child who reads one learns that history is not only made by the people on horses.
走過任何一座老城鎮,數一數那裡的石像。多數是率領軍隊的男人,幾乎沒有一座是那些鋪了你腳下道路的人。
這不是因為沒有人認為那些人重要,而是因為石像要花錢,而在歷史上大多數時候,有錢的人就是有權的人。一個城鎮記得的,是某個人出得起錢讓它被記得的東西。
現在有些城鎮改為豎立小小的牌子:辦了第一所學校的那位女士的名字、經營渡船八十年的那個家族。它們幾乎不花錢。但讀到其中一塊的孩子會學到:歷史並不只是由騎在馬上的人創造的。
