算了,繼續趕訪問。最後一天在日內瓦,全力把工作做好做完,這段再把他練熟一點:
Despite being a country that still has a hard time joining the UN, Taiwan is the 26th largest economy in the world by GDP, and it’s ranked the 16th in terms of total trade amount. We have our own territories, people, elected government, and president. Last Friday, we had our third rotation of power, showing that Taiwan’s democracy is both stable and reliable.
As an important trade partner around the world, Taiwan strives to establish closer business relations with the world under the WTO framework. We’re also actively boosting human rights standards domestically, by not only passing the two UN human rights covenants, but also providing information, skills, funding, and humanitarian aids to the international community with no reserves. Taiwan has a mature public health and national health insurance system, an outstanding biotech industry, as well as rich experiences in researching and developing medicines and vaccines. We believe that, through multilateral medical cooperation, participating in the global epidemic control and becoming an official member of the WHO, we will absolutely contribute in the global fight against diseases.
The complicated history of Taiwan surfaced with the rare mention of UN Resolution 2758 in the WHA invitation to Taiwan. After World War II, the Chiang Kai-shek regime who had nowhere to go after losing the Chinese Civil War was sent to Taiwan by the Allies, where it started a prolonged authoritarian rule. Along with the regime, the international community also threw the “one China” problem to Taiwan. In 1971, the UN passed resolution 2758 to expel the Chiang Kai-shek regime occupied the seat for China. However, Chiang’s regime was not only unrepresentative of China, it did not represent the people of Taiwan either. Taiwan has finally become a young democracy following decades of activism and reforms. Now that the Taiwanese people are extending their efforts to contribute to and participate in different aspects in the world, we sincerely hope that Taiwan would engage in more positive and respectable exchanges with the world as a normal country, to fulfill its obligations as a global citizen.

感謝日內瓦國際新聞記者俱樂部的邀約,讓我們可以把聲音透過他們給更多國際友人知道。希望此行能把握一分一秒,讓國際知道台灣人民願意為國際貢獻心力。中國所謂的「一中原則」或是聯合國2758決議文,都不是台灣人民可以接受的,期盼國際能支持台灣以正式會員國的身份參與WHO、聯合國等國際組織,讓台灣與世界各國一起為一個美好的地球而努力。

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I’m glad to have this opportunity to share some thoughts with you in Geneva. My name is Freddy Lim, I’m a parliamentarian from Taiwan, and I’m a member of the New Power Party which was founded only about one year ago. The NPP has a lot of support from the young people in Taiwan, and is currently the third largest party in the parliament and represents a new, rising political force. Here, we would like to express our voices to you, hoping that more people around the world would become strong partner and friends of Taiwan to support our efforts in join international organizations, so that we may contribute to the world.

Like all of you, we firmly stands behind the universal values of freedom, democracy, and human rights, and continuously work for these values. I believe that, based on our shared values, and with your support, Taiwan would absolutely become a reliable and friendly partner. I would like to sincerely thank you for attending the press conference. Let’s stay closer to work for a better world.
Thank you for your time, have a good day.
各位先生、女士,大家好,很高興能夠在日內瓦跟各位分享一些看法。我的名字是Freddy Lim,是台灣的立法委員,屬於台灣僅成立一年的新政黨New Power Party。NPP在台灣獲得年輕人很大的支持,目前在國會是第三大黨,是台灣政治一股新興的力量。在此希望能傳達我們的心聲給各位,並期盼國際上更多友人做台灣堅強的夥伴,支持我們參與國際組織,為世界貢獻一己之力。
台灣,作為一個至今仍難以加入聯合國的國家,我們的GDP是世界第26大經濟體,貿易總額是全球第十六名。我們擁有自己的領土、人民,選自己的政府、總統。上週五,第三度的政黨輪替,展現了台灣穩定以及可靠的民主制度。
作為世界重要的貿易夥伴,台灣在WTO的架構下致力和各國發展更密切的商業關係。我們也積極提升國內人權標準,通過國際人權兩公約,並在國際社會需要時,不吝提供資訊、技術、金錢、人道救援等實質協助。台灣有著相當成熟的公共衛生和健保系統,優異的生技產業,以及多年來在藥物與疫苗的研發上豐富的經驗。我們相信透過多邊醫療合作、參與全球防疫體系,正式參與WHO,我們一定可以為打擊疾病做出貢獻。
這次WHA的邀請函,罕見的提到2758決議文,讓台灣複雜的歷史再次浮上檯面。二戰後,在中國內戰敗退的蔣介石政權無處可去,被同盟國送來了台灣,進行獨裁統治。國際就這樣把「一個中國」的歷史問題丟給了台灣。到了1971年,聯合國做了2758決議,將佔據中國席位的蔣介石政權逐出聯合國。然而,蔣政權不只不能代表中國人民,其獨裁統治更無法代表台灣人民。台灣人民透過數十年的抗爭與改革,終於成為了一個年輕的民主政體。現在,如同台灣人民在國際的各行各業都力求貢獻、熱心參與,我們真誠的期盼,台灣,能以一個正常的國家身分,與世界進行更多正面以及有尊嚴(respect)的交流與合作,履行作為全球公民(Global citizen)一份子的義務與責任。
我們和各位一樣,同樣堅信自由、民主與人權的普世價值,並為此持續不斷的努力。我深信,在我們共同的價值基礎之上,透過各位的支持,台灣絕對能成為一個可靠並且友善的國際夥伴。我誠摯地感謝各位來參加今天的記者會。讓我們更緊密的合作,一起為促進世界為美好而努力!
謝謝你們的時間,祝各位愉快。

感謝日內瓦國際新聞記者俱樂部的邀約,讓我們可以把聲音透過他們給更多國際友人知道。雖然立委是「視導」代表,無法與衛福部進入議場正式與會,但仍然希望此行能把握一分一秒,讓國際知道台灣人民願意為國際貢獻心力,為台灣發聲。中國所謂的「一中原則」或是聯合國2758決議文,都不是台灣人民可以接受的,期盼國際能支持台灣以正式會員國的身份參與WHO、聯合國等國際組織,讓台灣與世界各國一起為一個美好的地球而努力。
明天開始將啟程去蘇黎世,進行一連串的國際媒體專訪。
total war international relations 在 翻譯這檔事 Facebook 的最讚貼文
馬英九以習近平為「他的(中國)國家主席」?疏忽還是惡搞?
剛剛在批踢踢英文板看到有人問([1]):原來英文中,一國的總統可以稱另一國總統為「his/her 國名形容詞 president」?真有這個用法?並指出有兩個媒體這麼寫:
1. (某新聞網站的圖片說明 [2]) Cuba's President Raul Castro, left, stands with his U.S. President Barack Obama.
古巴總統卡斯楚與「他的」美國總統歐巴馬並肩而站(?)
2. (美國之聲VOA學英文網站的文字稿 [3]) Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou told his Chinese president Xi Jinping that he was worried about China’s missiles deployed across the Taiwan Strait.
台灣總統馬英九告訴「他的」中國國家主席習近平……(?)
以上兩個英文說法若成立,則意味著歐巴馬對卡斯楚,或習近平對馬英九,是上對下、尊對卑、君對臣、中央對地方的關係。(但地方政府怎會有「總統」?)
但我認爲這英文的說法是不恰當的、是錯誤的,適當的說法應該是: his U.S. counterpart、his Chinese counterpart 才對,差了一字,含義大變。改成 counterpart 就讓雙方變成對等關係,這也才是外界對國家領袖的認知:關係對等。
卡斯楚的例子,我不好說什麼,只能說該圖片說明或許是一時筆誤,或者,該記者英文有問題。
馬英九的例子,則找到答案:各位聽一聽同一網頁中語音檔的唸稿,記者「巧妙地」把 his Chinese president Xi 唸成 Chinese president Xi,沒有不該有的 his,這表示該記者發覺文字稿有誤;或者也可能,記者本來製播時就是唸 Chinese president Xi,卻被哪個聽寫人誤寫還是惡搞,加上足以引起爭端的 his?這區區一個小字,錯得可真要命唷!
以下是VOA全文:
Leaders from Taiwan and China met Saturday for the first time since the end of the civil war in China, more than 65 years ago.
The meeting was an effort to create goodwill between the two sides. In the past seven years, ties between the sides have increased. However, some Taiwanese say those ties have not resulted in economic gains or greater security.
China claimed sovereignty over self-ruled Taiwan when it formed the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Relations were icy until 2008. The two sides agreed to link the two economies.
Today in Taiwan, people are unclear about the benefits of the relationship. The island’s economy shrank in the third quarter of this year.
Many Taiwanese wanted progress from the meeting. Liu Yi-jiun is a public affairs professor at Fo Guang University in Taiwan. He said there were high expectations because these two leaders had never met. He said, after two years of planning, political and economic concessions were promised but none were seen.
Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou told his Chinese president Xi Jinping that he was worried about China’s missiles deployed across the Taiwan Strait. <== 這句話無故多了個「his」
He also said people in Taiwan were frustrated that China was blocking Taiwan’s foreign relations. China has 170 allies compared with 22 for Taiwan. This difference lets China keep Taiwan from developing its diplomacy further.
In response to Taiwan’s concerns about missiles, Xi Jinping said Saturday China’s missiles were not aimed at Taiwan.
However, economic concerns remain. Taiwan has signed free-trade agreements with Singapore and New Zealand. Both countries have relations with the two sides. But China has blocked Taiwan from joining the United Nations or other international organizations.
Taiwanese officials say deals with China have created 9,600 jobs among a population of 23 million. Agreements that opened tourism brought a total 2.8 million mainland Chinese to the island last year. That is up from almost no tourism in 2007.
Trade deals also have helped increase total imports and exports to $130 billion last year.
China remains Taiwan’s largest trading partner. And it is the top receiver of Taiwanese foreign investment.
Some people complain the benefits of 23 deals with mainland China covering trade and other areas are reaching mainly the owners of big companies.
In Taiwan’s capital markets, investment from China amounts to only a fraction of the island government’s quota, or the amount permitted.
Tseng Ming-chung is Chairman of the Financial Supervisory Commission in Taiwan. He said Friday that the Taiwanese government has approved almost every application for investment from China.
He says the amount of money is extremely small. He adds that the Taiwanese government is not refusing applications. Tseng says mainland Chinese institutions cannot freely set up qualified domestic institutional investors.
China insists on eventual unification with Taiwan. However, public opinion polls show most Taiwanese oppose that goal.
Nathan Liu says the future of relations between the sides is unclear.
“…They think that at least by the end of Ma’s term the two sides should at least reach some kind of agreement,” he said. He noted that, an understanding that the sides are going toward common goals is needed, although it may not be a signed agreement. “This is not complete yet,” he said.
President Ma Ying-jeou has supported closer ties with mainland China. But he and his KMT party have lost support. He must step down next year because of term limits.
A backlash against economic deals with China started mass street protests in March 2014. That anger has given the island’s top opposition party candidate a lead in opinion polls ahead of the January presidential election. Tsai Ing-wen of the Democratic Progressive Party has been highly critical of President Ma’s dealings with China.
Experts say the Saturday leadership summit appears not to have done enough to change voter opinion.
I’m Mario Ritter.
