安裝路段零傷亡
Taiwan’s only surviving wild cat, the leopard cat, is on the edge of extinction.
台灣唯一僅存的原生種貓科動物石虎正面臨瀕臨絕種的危機，

Researchers estimate that the number of leopard cats on the island has dwindled to less than 500.
研究人員估計，台灣島上的石虎數量只剩下不到500隻，
dwindle(v.)減小;降低;減少=fall=drop=decrease
The fact that the species is constantly involved in “road kills” has raised concerns from the public.
石虎頻遭「路殺」的新聞，更是引起台灣民眾的高度關注。

To protect the endangered species, Taiwan’s deep learning start-up DT42 partnered up with a research team from National Chung Hsing University (NCHU). Together, they have developed a pioneering artificial intelligence (AI) system that can detect leopard cats in less than half a second and warn them to stay away from the road.
為了保護瀕臨絕種的石虎，台灣的深度學習新創公司DT42與中興大學的研究團隊合作，首創出一套人工智慧（AI）系統，能夠在不到半秒的時間內偵測到石虎的存在，並警告石虎遠離馬路。

One of the major obstacles to the preservation of leopard cats is a lack of resources and the lack of Internet infrastructure in their natural habitats.
石虎保育的主要阻礙是缺乏資源，以及自然棲息地缺乏網路基礎設施，

It is not feasible to build the network needed for cloud AI detection technology in the rural areas inhabited by the species.
在農村地區建立人雲端AI偵測技術所需的網絡是不可行的，
feasible(adj.)可行的=practical=workabledetection(n.)偵測inhabit(v.)居住
Some areas have traffic signs that warn motorists about the leopard cat’s presence, but that has not proven effective in reducing the number of road kill victims.
有些地區有交通標誌警告駕駛人有石虎出沒，但被路殺的石虎仍然沒有減少，
effective(adj.)有效的
The new AI system, which is installed at the edge of the Internet network, can issue a warning to drivers one kilometer ahead of an actual animal crossing.
安裝在網路邊緣的新AI系統可以在實際動物穿越前一公里向駕駛員發出警告。
install(v.)安裝at the edge of~在…的邊緣issue a warning 發出警告
The system also includes a device that emits light pulses and beeping sounds to distract and delay the animals from crossing the road.
這套系統還包括一項裝置，在發現有石虎太靠近道路時，便會閃爍燈光或發出警告聲響，轉移石虎的注意力，讓牠們不要靠近馬路。
device(n.)裝置emit(v.)發出，射出，散發(光、雜訊、氣味或氣體)distract(v.)使分心;使轉移注意力
Since the system was installed, not a single leopard cat has been killed or injured on the section of road where the system is employed.
自系統安裝後，安裝系統的路段沒有任何石虎因路殺事故死傷。
since(prep.)自從install(v.)安裝employ(v.)使用;利用
The researchers say that they wish to launch more AI projects around Taiwan. They also plan to expand the scope of the project to other wild animals, including the endangered Chinese ferret-badger and the masked palm civet.
研究人員說，他們希望在台灣推出更多人工智慧項目，他們還計劃將該項目的範圍擴大到其他野生動物，包括瀕臨滅絕的中國鼬獾和白鼻心（果子狸）。
scope(n.)範圍;範疇
“We will expand the scope of surveillance based on the results of the leopard cat case, and discuss new projects with the government to continue our conservation work,” said Chiang Ya-yu, an assistant professor in NCHU’s Department of Mechanical Engineering.
國立中興大學機械工程學系助理教授蔣雅郁說：「我們將以石虎案的成果為基礎，擴大監視範圍，還有跟政府討論啟動新的項目，以不斷支持石虎的保育工作。」
