當我坐在飛機上,波音七四七的渦輪開始轉動,我知道幾分鐘之後我們就會至身在對流層之上的高空,我終於體會到懷特兄弟當年企圖發明飛機時,為何被人們稱作瘋子。
這真的事一件瘋狂的事,一個載滿人的龐然大物,掙脫第西引力的限制,衝上連天生可以飛行的鳥類也無法到達的高度。即使是飛行已經理所當然的現在,我依然覺得懷特兄弟當年會有這樣的夢想,無論當時有沒有成功,都已經是極端了不起的事。
MRT:
The Taipei Rapid Transit System, also known as the MRT, or by locals simply as the Metro Taipei, is a series of underground and elevated metro and VAL systems throughout the Taipei metropolitan area. Currently, the entire system is operated by the Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation.
The TRTS is one of the most expensive rapid transit systems ever constructed, with the initial phase costing over US$18 billion. Since its completion, the TRTS has reduced travel time from one end of Taipei to the other from up to three or more hours to less than an hour, and has been effective in relieving some of Taipei's traffic congestion problems. The system has also proved effective as a catalyst for urban renewal, as well as increasing tourist traffic to outlying cities such as Danshui (Danshuei/Damshuei/Tamsui).
In addition to the rapid transit system itself, the TRTS also includes several public facilities such as underground shopping malls, parks, and public squares. Modifications to existing railway lines to integrate into the MRT are underway.
