As of late December of 2021, people in Taiwan may apply for a digital vaccination certificate. The European Commission has recognized the certificate as equivalent to its version. With the certificate, people may be allowed to enter 60 countries and territories which have joined or recognized the EU’s digital certificate system, including the US.
According to the CECC, the Taiwanese government will only issue the certificate to those planning to travel abroad. The application requires a valid passport.
The QR code generated by the certificate will contain a digital signature to confirm its validation and authenticity. When people need to present their COVID-19 proof of vaccination, they may print the code out and show a hard copy or download it to a smartphone and show it digitally.
從 2021 年 12 月下旬開始,台灣民眾終於可以申請「數位疫苗證明」了。歐盟已經承認、並將台灣的數位疫苗證明,視為等同於歐盟自己的「數位 COVID 證明」。有了這個證明,民眾將可入境已加入、或是承認歐盟數位疫苗證明認證系統的六十餘個國家,其中也包括美國。
根據中央流行疫情指揮中心(The Central Epidemic Command Center, CECC)的說法,台灣政府目前只會發放證明給規劃出國的民眾。申請這個證明必須要提供仍在有效期限內的護照。
這個證明所產出的 QR code,裡面會藏有一個數位簽章,來確認這個證明的有效性與真實性。當民眾需要出示 COVID-19 疫苗接種證明的時候,可以選擇將這個 QR code 印出來、出示紙本,或是下載到手機上,以數位格式來呈現。
equivalent(adj.)是「相等的」,使用方式是 be equivalent to,後面接名詞,可以用在「等量、等值、等長、等同意義」等各種不同情境。另外,看起來很像的 be equal to 則是「等於」,說明的是「完全相等」的狀態,相較之下,equivalent to 的「等同於」就屬於比較寬鬆的描述了。
例句1:One plus two is equal to three.
一加二等於三。
例句2:The average IQ of dogs is equivalent to a 2.5-year-old child’s.
狗狗的平均智商大約等同於兩歲半寶寶的智商。
