📝酈英傑處長給台灣人民的道別信
「隨著我擔任美國在台協會處長的日子即將畫下句點，我也即將離開台灣，我想藉這個機會和大家分享，這一番歷練對我來說的意義是什麼。當我說擔任AIT處長其實是我這輩子的榮幸，也讓我得以實現長期職業生涯中的抱負與理想，這麼說一點也不為過。
我19歲時第一次離開家鄉，就是來台灣。對年輕的我來說，從那時起，台灣就成了交流與理解、探索與冒險的同義詞。台灣不僅有著讓人眼花撩亂的異鄉風情，也代表著意想不到的嶄新機會。我在這裡嘗試新奇的食物，像是水餃和臭豆腐，並且學習如何在擠滿單車和機車的大街小巷穿梭自如。一方面，我努力用我粗淺的中文，讓別人聽懂我說的話；但同時我也發現，無論走到哪裡，迎接我的都是滿滿的親切友善與熱情好客。
因此，在成為美國外交官後，能夠以台灣作為我派駐海外的第一站，真是再適合不過了。畢竟，是台灣首先點燃了我對亞洲、尤其是台灣的畢生興趣，也激發了我對跨文化理解和共享目標——也就是外交工作——的終身熱忱。此後，我也曾派駐其他地點，多數是在大中華區域，但我的台灣經歷與回憶始終常存我心。最終我能以美國駐台最高層級外交官的身分回來這裡，可說是我多年職涯的高峰。顯然，我這一生注定與台灣有著深刻的連結，或者也叫作「緣分」吧，才會讓我一次又一次不斷地回到台灣。
常有人問我，為什麼我這麼喜歡台灣。我總覺得：「答案不是很明顯嗎？」不過如果一定要我從個人與專業的角度，解釋我對台灣的喜愛與敬佩之情，我通常會提到以下幾個領域：
首先，台灣兼具活力與穩定、進步與延承、還有創新與傳統。每次回到這裡，我都對台灣社會在各個方面日新月異的進步感到驚艷不已。台灣的民主更臻成熟，經濟益加蓬勃，環境保護更受關注，藝術文化發展也生生不息。
台灣在許多最先進的科技產業上持續為全球創新樹立標竿，但與此同時，台灣的社會穩定和文化傳承依舊令人欽羨佩服。儘管生活充裕且形象良好，台灣人民卻依然謙虛樸實、平易近人。在台灣，最古老的傳統薪火相傳、歷久彌新。文化和歷史古蹟受到妥善的修復與保護；年輕人也可以學習代代相傳的書法技巧，接著再把作品秀在Instagram上。
再者，對美國來說，台灣正是共享利益與共享價值交集的典範。美台夥伴關係的重點在於確保科技發展能夠嘉惠、而非傷害我們雙方的經濟，科技突破則應被用於鞏固、而不是破壞我們的原則。美台之間自由、多元、平等及透明等共享價值，時時激勵我們努力在世界各地打造民主社會的韌性。而我們也持續尋求新的方式，為解決全球問題做出貢獻，這麼做不僅是因為能夠造福我們自己的人民，也是因為我們相信，身為21世紀敦親睦鄰的好夥伴，就是該這麼做。
最後，每當我想到台灣、以及整體美台關係，我總會想到希望、光明和成長。美台的情誼在過去40年來不斷拓展與茁壯。我相信每任處長都會同意，他們離開台灣時的美台夥伴關係，比起他們剛上任時都更上一層樓。同樣的，當我向AIT告別的那一天，我的心中將充滿肯定與成就感，因為我知道，美台夥伴關係比以往都更加深刻和強健，我也對自己能為美台關係今天亮眼的進展小有貢獻，而深感驕傲。
但是，比起這些事情，我想我更難忘的是台灣在我生命中所留下的深刻印記。我永遠會記得我在台灣度過的第一個聖誕節，還有第一個農曆新年。我永遠會記得台灣朋友的真摯與溫暖、教會同伴堅定的信仰、炎炎夏日來一碗芒果冰的沁涼、資源回收車沿街播放《給愛麗絲》的回音，還有巷弄中撲鼻而來的茉莉花香，這些都會是我畢生珍藏的美好回憶之一。我也會記得好友間的餐聚、充滿歡笑和故事的夜晚、以及一路以來我受到過的無數的善意與關懷。我更會永遠記得，是各位台灣朋友們，你們以各種不同的方式，讓我和我家人的生命更加地豐盛美好。對此，我要衷心地謝謝大家。
雖然我將離開台灣，但台灣不會離開我。」

📝A Farewell Letter from AIT Director W. Brent Christensen
"As my time as AIT Director draws to a close and I prepare to leave Taiwan, I want to take this opportunity to tell you what this experience has meant to me. It is not an exaggeration to say that this has been the honor of my life and the fulfillment of a career-long aspiration.
The first time I left my hometown at age 19, it was to come to Taiwan. From that early age, Taiwan became synonymous for me with the ideas of exchange and understanding, exploration and adventure. Taiwan represented both disorienting foreignness and unexpected opportunity, as I tried new food – like shuijiaos and qiu doufu – and learned to navigate my way through streets crowded with bicycles and scooters. And struggled to make myself understood with my rudimentary Mandarin. But all the while discovering the kindness and generosity that welcomed me wherever I went.
It felt appropriate for me to serve my first tour as a U.S. diplomat in the place that first sparked in me a lifelong interest in Asia – and in Taiwan in particular – and in cross-cultural understanding and shared purpose, or in other words, diplomacy. After that, my career took me to other places, but mostly still in the China region. But the memories of my experiences in Taiwan stayed with me. And finally having the opportunity to serve as the top U.S. diplomat to Taiwan was the culmination of all the years that came before. It is clear that I have a lifelong connection to Taiwan, or “yuanfen,” that has led me to return again and again.
People often ask me why I have such a fondness for Taiwan. “Isn’t it obvious?!” I always think. But when forced to explain my affection for and professional fascination with Taiwan, I usually come back to a few themes.
First, dynamism and constancy; progress and preservation; innovation and tradition. Every time I return to Taiwan, I am immediately struck by the many ways Taiwan has advanced as a society. Taiwan’s democracy grows more mature, its economy more prosperous, its environment more cared-for, and its arts and culture more vibrant.
Taiwan’s industry continues to set the benchmark for global innovation in some of the most sophisticated technologies, but at the same time, Taiwan society is remarkable for its stability and cultural continuity. Taiwan’s people, despite their relative wealth and stature, continue to be modest and unassuming. Taiwan’s most ancient traditions are alive and well. Cultural and historic sites are restored and preserved. Young people may learn calligraphy techniques handed down for generations, but then share their work on Instagram.
Second, for the United States, Taiwan exemplifies the intersection of shared interests and shared values. Our partnership is about making sure our economies are beneficiaries rather than casualties of technological development and ensuring that technological development advances rather than undermines our principles. Our shared values of freedom, diversity, equality, and transparency inspire our efforts to build the resilience of democracies around the world. And we continue to find new ways to contribute to global problem solving, both because it benefits our own peoples and because we share the belief that this is what it means to be a good neighbor in the 21st century.
Finally, I associate Taiwan – and the broader U.S.-Taiwan relationship – with hope, promise, and growth. This friendship has expanded and flourished over the past 40 years; I believe every person who has done this job walked away knowing they left this partnership better than they found it. I will similarly leave AIT with a sense of accomplishment and success, knowing that the U.S.-Taiwan partnership is deeper and stronger than ever, and feeling immensely proud of my small role in getting us there.
But more than any of these things, I will remember the ways that Taiwan has touched me personally. I will always remember my first Christmas in Taiwan – and my first Chinese New Year. I will remember the warmth of Taiwan friendship, the faith of my fellow church members, the taste of a mango bing on a hot summer day, the echo of “Fur Elise” from the recycling truck, the fragrance of jasmine blossoms in village alleyways – these are just some of the memories I will treasure. I will remember the long dinners with dear friends, full of laughter and stories. And I will remember their many kindnesses. I will remember all the ways big and small that you, the people of Taiwan, touched my life and the lives of my family. And for that, I thank you.
I may be leaving Taiwan, but Taiwan will never leave me. "

[專頁公告] 有關我對ＢＢＣ記者向蔡總統提問的貼文，存在一些爭議。或許是我表達的不夠清楚，而此一事件也有其複雜性，因此經大家傳來傳去後，遂造成諸多不必要的誤解與糾紛。於此，對該貼文的疏漏表達歉意的同時，我也想藉這個機會，向大家澄清我的個人觀點，並提供具體的說明。

坦白說，當我第一時間聽到這個問題時，我並不是很高興：

原本文章和影片：http://bit.ly/36QOKNP （請務必閱讀背景資料）

完整影片：https://youtu.be/yKVW475EnA4?t=6421

影片內文：

Thank you very much, and congratulations first, President Tsai, on tonight’s result. A few months ago, you were struggling in the polls. Many people suggest that the turnaround in your fortunes is because of the actions of China. Its threats that you mentioned tonight. Its putting of the aircraft carriers through the Taiwan Strait, the situation in Hong Kong. So my question to you is this: Do you think you have the Chinese president Xi Jinping to thank for this victory.*

非常感謝您，蔡總統，首先祝賀今晚的結果。幾個月前，您在民意調查中苦苦掙扎。許多人認為，您命運的轉變是由於中國的行動。誠如您今晚提到的威脅──航空母艦通過臺灣海峽以及香港的局勢。因此我對您的提問是：您認為您應該向中國國家主席習近平為這次的勝利表示感謝嗎？*

*您認為您的勝利歸因於中國國家主席習近平嗎？

have sb to thank (for sth) 對（某人）感謝

1. to say that you are grateful to someone who is responsible for something good happening. This expression is sometimes used HUMOROUSLY to mean that you are not grateful for what someone has done.

https://www.ldoceonline.com/…/have-somebody-to-thank-for-do…

2. If you have someone to thank for something, that person is responsible or to blame for it. 由（某人）對……負責；應責怪（某人）

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/…/english/have-sb-to-thank…

★★★★★★★★★★★★

我個人認為，此一提問似乎高估了中國對蔡總統勝選──臺灣人民以自由意志所選出的總統──的影響。不可否認，中國對臺灣的行動已與日俱增，但問題的設定似乎過分強調中國這一因素，而輕忽了臺灣人民的努力。這是我的個人觀點。

在長年旅居美國的生活經驗中，隨處都可聽見以雙關作為諷刺性質的幽默（my sarcasm detector is functional）。事實上，從我的回應也不難看出，我認為不恰當的地方乃在於，提問的內容及其所強調者──中國因素：

The people of Taiwan do not have General Secretary Xi Jinping to "thank" for this democratic victory. They have the sacrifices of thousands of democratic reformers and activists around the world to thank for their right to vote and the right to have their voices heard. It is unfortunate that the threats you mentioned are perceived by some as being responsible for tonight's victory.

臺灣的總統並不需要針對此次的民主選舉「感謝」習總書記。總統和全臺灣的人民需要感謝的是全球成千上萬的為了民主而犧牲的改革者，感謝由於他們奮鬥而獲得的投票權與發表自己意見的權利。不幸的是，一些人似乎認為今晚的勝利應歸因於您所提到的這些威脅。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

毫無疑問，有些人並不同意我的回應。但是，若您稍加觀察，便可發現我是圍繞著「have…to thank、 對（某人）感謝」來進行回應，並提出個人觀點。別人用幽默的語氣問我 ，並不代表我不能以字面上的意涵去作正式甚至有一點俏皮的回應。當時，我若在「thank、感謝」周圍加上引號*，唸起來就會有特別的語氣，或許能更加凸顯我充分理解幽默的部分。不幸的是，我並沒有這樣做，致使許多人不理解我的本意。

*https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scare_quotes

★★★★★★★★★★★★

我之所以撰寫此一貼文，乃為強調我們應該感謝那些為臺灣犧牲奉獻的民主改革者，並向該名記者過於強調中國影響力的問句提出抗議。同時，我也在該篇貼文中附上完整影片的連結，方便讀者理解此一事件的脈絡。我也是純粹當作個人意見發表，而沒有把它變成一篇完整的教學文章。

由於「have sb to thank (for sth)」包含了正面與負面的意涵，而有時也會被幽默地使用。因此幾個小時後（大約凌晨２點），我開始收到一些訊息，告知我並不理解英式幽默。此時我才意識到，自己的貼文不夠明確，使得部分讀者無法理解我為文的重點。在我迅速添加了「have sb to thank (for sth)」的定義後（http://bit.ly/2NnxHv2），便未多想而上床睡覺了。第二天，我下午上班回到家後，卻看到某些針對我貼文所作的評論，認為我不僅對英式幽默缺乏理解，還錯誤地翻譯了該問句。以下，我將對兩種主要的評論作出回應。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

首先，我其實能理解，該名記者嘗試在嚴肅的提問中帶點幽默，但以英文母語者的角度來說，我並不認為他的話「幽默」（至少我個人沒有那種會心一笑的感覺，可能我比較嚴肅）。再者，幽默是非常主觀的，並非所有人都能產生共鳴，尤其是在這麼正式的場合，則更容易造成誤解。對我而言，發言者在正式的場合時，應清楚地意識到，可能會有部分聽眾無法理解自己話語的弦外之音──幽默。畢竟，這是一次全球性的現場直播，真正瞭解英國文化的觀眾，恐怕是少之又少。

即便當時，他是向蔡總統提問而非現場觀眾，但我們都知道（包含該名記者），提問會被口譯員翻成中文，進而讓在場的所有臺灣人聽見。更無消說，蔡總統本就代表全體臺灣人民，向臺灣總統提問，本質上就是向所有的臺灣人民提問。不過，我也相信，該名記者之所以使用此一詞彙，乃為營造幽默的氛圍，並傳達他個人對總統大選與臺海問題的關注，以探求蔡總統對此一議題的洞見。坦率地說，我也沒有資格去干涉專業記者發問的方式，況且他本人的風格本就較為犀利（他揭露了中國無數的人權問題，並進行了諸多報導）。

又我個人認為，無論記者的本意為何，這樣的表達方式並不恰當，尤其是在這麼重要的場合的第一個問題。我由衷地覺得，有評論指出我反應過度，其實是可以理解的。但我個人還是希望，外國記者在正式的國際場合中，能尊重臺灣得來不易的民主，同時也照顧到聽眾的感受。而蔡總統隨即報以微笑，則是展現出她總統的高度與格局。我想，即便蔡總統內心有所想法，也不會在這麼正式的場合中表露出來。因此，微笑絕對是最好的回應。口譯員之所以略過此一問題，很可能是擔心會引發爭議。而影片中，您可以清楚的看到，相鄰的記者於微笑的同時，也搖了搖頭。我想，「幽默」是否適合這種情況，每位觀眾都會有自己的看法。

此處的討論已超出語言的闡釋與翻譯，以及對單詞涵義的理解。我個人認為，那些將我的貼文化約為「不理解英式幽默」的評論，實已淡化了語言的社會、政治與文化脈絡。惟遺憾的是，我當時也未闡明自己的思路，沒有提供足夠的背景資訊。因此，這導致了諸多不必要的困惑。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

其次，我注意到某個粉絲專頁。該專頁在隔天下午發表了一篇文章，內容是關於我如何藉由「要感謝某人（某物）」的字面翻譯，來誤解該名ＢＢＣ的記者。但這樣片面的說法，似無法詳實的呈現我該篇貼文的本意，也忽略了我所提供的資訊。

have sb to thank (for sth)

1. to say that you are grateful to someone who is responsible for something good happening. This expression is sometimes used HUMOROUSLY to mean that you are not grateful for what someone has done.

對（某人）感謝

I have Phil to thank for getting me my first job.

https://www.ldoceonline.com/…/have-somebody-to-thank-for-do…

2. If you have someone to thank for something, that person is responsible or to blame for it.

由（某人）對……負責；應責怪（某人）

You have John to thank for this problem.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/…/english/have-sb-to-thank…

★★★★★★★★★★★★

該專頁也認為我誤解了「have sb to thank (for sth)」──僅譯出「感謝」的字面義而無提供其餘意涵──此一片語。但事實上，我的貼文裡早已附上相關資訊。

在言談分析（discourse analysis）中，僅「thank you」一詞就有許多不同的解釋方式。言語的闡釋與翻譯，必須考慮到語調、肢體語言以及社會環境。我絕對不是專業的翻譯，但誠如下列連結的內容所顯示，文字媒體大多只會提供直譯──亦即「感謝」，畢竟要以短短的幾行文字來完整表達講者的意圖，並非易事。因此，絕大多數的文字報導（包含我的貼文）也附有新聞發布會的完整影片，以為讀者提供更清晰的背景與脈絡。同時，記者也會有自己的顧慮（受眾），因此文字的使用必須盡可能地言簡意賅，以與讀者產生共鳴。

https://hk.news.appledaily.com/.../article/20200112/60476407

I am not a professional translator by any means, but a literal translation is sometimes provided because it is immensely difficult to get across the full intent of the speaker with a few lines of text. Just the phrase "thank you" could be interpreted in diverse ways in discourse analysis. Interpretation and translation of speech require consideration of stress, body language, and social contexts. If the reporters above provided a connotative translation, the language used would be subjective as it would directly reflect what the translator believes to be the speaker's intentional meaning. Thus, a full video of the press conference was included in nearly every one of the reports to provide readers with additional context. Journalists also have pragmatic concerns (reach, readership), so the language used has to be specific, emphatic, and concise. These reasons might offer some insight into why「道謝」was used instead of a connotative translation.

★★★★★★★★★★★★

事後看來，在我發表評論的當下，以及之後所受到的負面評論時，確實有些激動，被批評也是應該的。我個人認為，該名ＢＢＣ記者過於凸顯中國影響力的問題，對總統以及臺灣人所珍視的民主制度似乎顯得不甚尊重。而我也相信，此亦即該提問之所以造成諸多爭議的原因。事實上，我一直在編輯貼文，希望盡可能地以更客觀的方式來表達我的觀點。但顯然，此前我未能在第一時間評論中作出詳盡的解釋，為此我深感抱歉，也學到了寶貴的經驗。若我的貼文為您帶來諸多不便，我深表歉意。希望本文足以闡明我對此事的想法，並作出具體的澄清。謝謝。
