兩千三百萬人在獨木舟上
——為什麼歐洲應該關切台灣的未來
反對黨公布2020總統候選人名單的那一天,我在台北和知識圈的朋友們午餐。那悲觀的,用問句來表達自己的悲觀,譬如,「你覺得台灣還有多少年?」那樂觀的,用黑色幽默來表達樂觀,譬如,「感謝老天。香港讓他們太忙了,沒時間管台灣。」
跟德國一樣,台灣對中國大陸和香港的貿易順差,在2018年是831億美元。百分之四十一的對外貿易針對中國,中國大陸市場對台灣的重要不言而喻。然而,隨著近年來台灣海峽兩岸的關係緊張,反對黨(國民黨) 憂慮市場的優勢無法持續,而執政黨(民進黨) 則選擇強化選民對北京的不信任來抵制中國的影響力。執政黨最近提出的國安新法可能將任何被認定為為中國宣傳者入罪。
和歐洲一樣,台灣人對中國的感受也是複雜的。 當中國代表的是活躍的經濟機會時,很多台灣人就容易所謂「親中」,當中國代表的是壓迫和可能的入侵時,很多台灣人就是所謂的「反中」。問題是,中國兩者兼備。後果就是,台灣內部的分歧遠遠超過了僅只是政治和經濟的層面。
如果你知道台灣是如何一路走來的,你會覺得它今天變成一個民主社會真是一個不得了的成就。沒有革命,一黨獨裁四十年的國民黨,不管你說它是自願還是被迫,放下了政權,分享權力。沒有流血,昔日牢裡的政治犯變成今日的立法者和政治領袖。1987年解嚴以後,政權的交替基本上公平而有序地進行了三十年。
台灣安靜地進行了三十年的民主,時間幾乎和它的國際孤立一樣長。美國不承認台灣的國家地位,但是,就如同當年對於德國,美國也扮演了安全守護者的角色。令人不安的是,在美國宣布要把軍售台灣常態化的同時,中國也宣布,它在台灣海峽及其領空,要把軍艦和戰機的演習常態化。
所以台灣民主的威脅其實是雙重的。比較明顯的是中國的威脅,這個威脅,往往超出台灣本身的控制能力。一個不那麼明顯的威脅,卻是內部自製的。台灣的政治人物和政黨熱切拿這個威脅做為政治資本,刺激集體恐懼來強化部落式的愛國主義。這種操作的成功,對台灣的民主制度和機構本身,是個真實的危險。
國際上那些純粹為了攻擊中國而故意把台灣捧在手心讚美的人,其實讓我坐立不安。一代又一代的台灣人為民主付出了代價,很大的代價,而得到今天的成果。這個成果,太珍貴了,不可以變成別人或別國為了自己的利益而拿來玩弄的籌碼或棋子。
德國的歷史是特殊的。德國的人民親身目睹了,如果不戒慎恐懼地去維護,一個開放合理的社會制度是如何容易地瓦解,一夜之間可以被獨裁取代。經歷了二戰,又擺脫了共產黨的歷史爭取到自由,德國可能比很多其他國家更容易理解台灣人的困境和追求。道德勇氣的來源往往是歷史的痛苦。身為歐盟的重要成員,德國有責任為世界的和平做出最大的努力,發揮最大的影響力。
但是,歐洲憑什麼一定要關心台灣呢?
首先,如果沒有台灣模式,全世界大概就都得接受一種說法,就是,儒家文化和民主制度是無法相容的,而所謂「中國模式」就是唯一邏輯、不可避免的現代中國。台灣的存在證明了一件事:未必如此。
第二,台灣本身的努力值得世界的尊敬。沒錯,如果中國是一艘航空母艦,那麼台灣只不過是一葉孤零零的獨木舟。可是在這個獨木舟上有兩千三百萬人正在追求一種有自由、有尊嚴的生活方式。如果台灣是歐盟的一個成員,就人口論,台灣就是二十八個成員國(英國脫歐後二十七國)中第七大國,比波蘭稍小,但比荷蘭和比利時大。以經濟購買力來看,台灣更是名列全球第二十二。所以,歐洲可以想像剝奪波蘭人或者荷蘭人對生活方式和政治體制的選擇權利嗎?
23 Million People on a Canoe
—Why Europe should care about Taiwan’s future
Lung Yingtai
On the day when the opposition party announced its presidential candidate for the 2020 election, I was sitting at a lunch table in Taipei listening to my intellectual friends uttering their concerns about the future of Taiwan. The pessimists phrased their pessimism in the form of questions such as “How many years do you think Taiwan has left?” The optimists expressed their optimism with dark humour, “Thank God they will be too busy with Hong Kong and the US for a while.”
Like Germany, Taiwan operates a trade surplus with mainland China and Hong Kong, amounting to $83.1 billion in 2018. With 41% of Taiwan’s exports going to China, Taipei’s economy depends on trade with the mainland. However, given the increasing tension across the Taiwan Strait, the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) in particular has been worrying whether Taiwan will be able to sustain these figures. The ruling Democratic Progressive Party, on the other hand, is capitalizing on voters’ intense distrust of Beijing, stepping up measures to “contain” China’s influence. Taipei recently drafted a national security law that would make it a punishable offense to spread “political propaganda” for China.
As in Europe, Taiwanese feel highly ambivalent about mainland China: When China signifies economic opportunities, most Taiwanese are 23 Million People on a Canoe Why Europe should care about Taiwan’s future “pro-China”; when China represents oppression and potential invasion, most Taiwanese are “anti-China”. The problem is that China resembles both. The result is a deep division among Taiwanese extending far beyond the political and economic spheres.
Given the circumstances under which Taiwan emerged and evolved, its evolution into an authentic democracy represents an extraordinary achievement. It was without a revolution that the KMT, which had ruled Taiwan for more than 40 years, put an end to martial law and, whether convinced or compelled to act, opened the country’s political system to sharing power. Without bloodshed, dissidents who had once sat in jails became legislators and political leaders. Since the lifting of martial law 1987, power has changed hands fairly and orderly, following the results of each election.
Taiwan has been a quiet democracy for more than thirty years, nearly as long as the four decades during which it has been isolated by the international community. The US does not formally recognize Taiwan but, as with Germany, acts as the country’s security guarantor. While Washington has indicated that arms sales to Taiwan will become more of a routine, China has devised a routine of its own by holding long-range combat drills and ordering its fighter jets to cross the maritime line.
However, the threat to Taiwanese democracy is twofold. The obvious one comes from China, and to a large extent lies beyond Taipei’s control. The less obvious threat is home-made, as the looming China threat tempts domestic politicians to mobilize the population’s collective fear to foment a tribal nationalism. Their success would pose a real danger to Taiwan’s democratic institutions.
Those who applaud Taiwanese democracy for the sole purpose of criticizing China make me nervous. Generations of Taiwanese fought and ultimately achieved a democracy – it is simply too precious for other people’s agendas, internal or external.
Germany has a unique history: its people have experienced first-hand how easily democratic institutions may fall apart when not meticulously guarded. Having received democracy as a gift following World War II and struggled to regain their freedom from Communist rule, Germans are in a unique position to understand both the predicament as well as the aspirations of the Taiwanese. Moral courage often comes from past sufferings. As a leading EU member state, Germany has a responsibility to maximize its own efforts as well as to influence others’ efforts for world peace.
But why should the world care about the future of Taiwan? First of all, save the Taiwan model, the world might have to accept the claim that democracy and Confucianism are incompatible, and that a communist China presents the only logical and inevitable path to modernity. Secondly, Taiwan deserves respect on its own merits. True, if China were an aircraft carrier, Taiwan would be a lone canoe. But standing on this canoe are 23 million people aspiring for a life with liberty and dignity. If it were an EU member, Taiwan would be the 7th largest of the Union’s 28 member-states (27 after Brexit), smaller than Poland but larger than the Netherlands or Belgium, with a developed economy ranking 22nd in the world by purchasing power parity. Do we really want to return to a world in which it is imaginable that countries such as Poland or the Netherlands should be deprived of their autonomy to determine their own way of life and political system?

feel cross中文 在 Alexander Wang 王梓沅英文 Facebook 的最佳解答
【背英文單字,要看中文定義?還是看英文定義?超過30年的科學研究結果。。。】
中文只要不是 "guide" (主導) 英語學習,其實用對方法是有機會 "support" "facilitate" 英語學習的過程。
以字彙學習來看,若沒有顧到 grammatical behavior (簡譯:文法規範) 和 collocation field (簡譯:字詞搭配關係),用英英也還是無法避免 language errors。(更不用談更專業就不在此解釋的semantics)
以中文輔助英文學習為例 "catch sb off guard",叫學習者去記 "to surprise someone, esp. in a way that makes the person feel confused or uncertain",不如一秒鐘我說「殺~個措手不及」更好理解。英文定義當然可以記(誰會說不行),但在這個狀況下,中文就是輔助學習的好時機。
曾經有研究中發現,有個美國的老師,在被學生問 "conceal" 是什麼意思的時候,隨口說出了 "hide"。因此學生之後也自在地說出 to conceal under the table (應該是 to hide under the table 才對) ,該外師才發現,啊,自己的教學方法有問題 (此例為忽略了字詞搭配關係)。
但同時,你如果問我,老師~mild是什麼意思? 我回答你「溫和的」,那麼我也是個糟透的老師。因為 mild winter 叫「暖」冬。
因此,與其找同義字,不如找同義搭配。cancel a meeting 在 call off a meeting 在取消會議的狀況下,是同義字沒錯,但是在其他狀況下就不見得cancel = call off 這樣的狀況會成立了(但台灣的傳統英文、學校英文、以及外師都這樣教,是吧?)。
結論是:用中文輔助學習英文、還是用英文學習英文,不是黑與白的答案。哪個好?哪個對?It depends. 講到這,我與哥倫比亞大學教育科技博士的學長共同開發,以台灣為主題的搭配詞學習手遊,已經超過 5000 個人下載啦!還沒下載的人可以去玩玩看!(前三關免費)

Big thanks to the office of International and Cross-strait Affairs, Tamkang University
Welcome to the basement, Listen to the beat
Let it be the year of your life, let it be one of your beat hits
Moi moi, this is Varissuo the Candyman aka MC Yeh, are y’all ready for this?
Then let’s go get them!
the Candyman:
Remember the first day here in Reitaku House
All seems unreal, bizarre enough
Maybe feel hopeless, but let it be
Cause Taiwanese here for you (savage move), PEACE!!!
Take you to places you’ve never been before
share memories we own together once
eat the best food there ever can be
see beautiful views you’ve never seen
Welcome to the basement, Listen to the beat
Let it be one of your best hits
Txek:
We just came here to make everyone feel
Wanna make it real that’s the only deal
And if there’s something that doesn’t feel right
Don’t think about it for now hands up!
台湾について分からん事だらけ
(We arrived at Taiwan and we are surrounded by things we don't understand)
悲しい出来事も含めて笑え
(Laugh even at the sad events)
泣きたくなるのも悪くない
(It's also OK if you feel like crying)
持つのはただ将来への信頼
(You just must believe in the future!)
It’s only two weeks that we’ve been together
but somehow it feels like I knew you for longer
I hope we’ll live things that we won’t forget ever
but are we prepared to pay that price I wonder
So let all of us be welcomed to the dorm
A place that every time makes your heart feel warm
The good things in life and before you realize
So become friend of your worries and burn out the real life
the Candyman:
Two weeks have gone away real fast
Better cherish the times we still have
Never forget why we came the first place
you gotta hold on your dreams and extend it
The time we had will always reserve them
Maintain the friendship between us
Stay clear we will never be apart
Our hearts forever be with each other
