【2021，台灣有你 #BetterTogether】

再冷❄️也要祝大家新❗️年❗️快❗️樂❗️

難纏的 2020 終於走了 (慢走不送!!
但就像蔡總統今早發表的元旦祝福所說：

「過去一年，台灣做到了全世界所殷切盼望，卻不可企及的 #如常生活」

2020 的台灣是很值得驕傲的呢 (快給自己拍拍手 👏🏻

這漫長的一年也讓大家深刻體會
原來我們日常生活中的「習以為常」
其實並不是那麼地「理所當然」
而是許多人靠著 #相信專業 #彼此信任 #社會團結
共同成就和維護的非常狀態 (秋冬防疫可別鬆懈了!!

「#民主自由 從來不是天上掉下來的」

2020 更讓全球真切醒悟：
台灣身處面對專制中國的民主前哨站
這座 #堅韌之島 是否鞏固
直接攸關 #印太區域 的穩定與繁榮
小英總統也特別感謝國際社會的並肩支持
讓台灣的民主更加強大 💪🏻

「只要有光、有水，有縫隙的地方，就可以長出希望的玫瑰。」🌹

台灣作為 #世界上一股良善的力量 ❤️
將會繼續秉持 #TaiwanCanHelp 精神
進一步和所有 #理念相近國家 共同合作
和世界攜手綻放精采的 2021 💫

#2021台灣有你真好

Taiwan has been proud to have worked alongside the international community to confront the challenges posed by COVID-19. We have shown again and again that “Taiwan can help.”

As a force for good in the world, we will continue to be an indispensable member of the international community, both now and into the future.

We are also deeply grateful for the international community's continued support for Taiwan.

🖐🏽 五分鐘來關心國際時事— 台灣 🇹🇼

📰 Taiwan to Ease Limits on American Pork and Beef, Smoothing Path for Trade Talks
U.S. officials have long regarded the restrictions as the main barrier to closer trade links with Taiwan

📌 這篇文章是關於台灣重要且富爭議的決定，它跟減輕 (ease) 進口美國豬肉和牛肉 (American pork and beef) 的限制 (limit/restriction) 有關，但它也牽涉到更重要的議題：貿易談判 (trade talks) 以及貿易聯繫 (trade link)。smooth the path (鋪路)，在文章中有轉化修辭的作用，在新聞寫作很常見。

HONG KONG—Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen said she would ease restrictions on imports of U.S. beef and pork, clearing the biggest obstacle to free-trade talks with Washington.
At a televised news briefing Friday, Ms. Tsai said she had instructed her government to ease regulations to allow imports of American pork containing trace amounts of an animal-feed additive used by some U.S. farms, as well as U.S. beef products from cattle age 30 months and older.

📌 文章第一段復述標題和副標題的主要内容。值得注意的是，副標題的barrier在這裡換成了obstacle，這也是常見的修辭方法。文章第二段提供更多的細節，trace amount 就是微量，animal-feed additive 是動物飼料添加劑。

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a tweet on Friday the U.S. welcomes Taiwan’s decision to lift restrictions on imports of American pork and beef. “This move opens the door for even deeper economic and trade cooperation,” he said.

U.S. officials have long regarded these restrictions as the main barrier to closer trade links with Taiwan, which had resisted calls to ease such curbs citing concerns over food safety and opposition from the island’s own pig-farming industry. Ms. Tsai said her decision would be implemented in a way that addresses both issues.

📌 這兩段是關於美國政府的回應。第一段引述國務卿 (Secretary of State) 的推特 (tweet)。台灣的決定 (decision) 為更深入的經濟和貿易合作 (deeper economic and trade cooperation) 打開大門 (open the door)。第二段解釋對豬肉和牛肉的限制跟貿易聯繫之關係。curb是restriction的同義詞。address issues (處理問題) ，是新聞寫作常見用語。

The announcement came about two weeks after Ms. Tsai said she wanted to start talks on a free-trade agreement with the U.S., a key unofficial ally and a major trading partner for the island democracy. Her pursuit of closer trade links is part of an effort to strengthen ties with Washington and resist coercion from China, Taiwan’s largest trading partner and whose ruling Communist Party claims the island as its territory.

Taiwanese officials “believe that opening up further to U.S. pork and beef imports at the present time is a decision in line with overall national interests and strategic-development goals for the future,” Ms. Tsai said.

“This is also a decision that can promote Taiwan-U.S. relations.”

📌 這三段提供這次決定的背景，從希望開展自由貿易協議 (free-trade agreement) 的談判到加強 (strengthen) 與華盛頓 (Washington，引申到美國政府) 的聯繫以抗衡中國的強迫 (coercion)。當中提到整體國家利益 (overall national interests) 和策略發展目的 (strategic-development goals)。

Ms. Tsai said the timing of her decision was driven by a desire to secure Taiwan’s economic future by playing an influential role in the restructuring of global supply chains caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

📌 這段補充說，決定的時機 (timing) 是源於穩固台灣的經濟未來 (secure Taiwan’s economic future)，play an influential role (扮演有影響力的角色)，restructuring (重組) 和 global supply chain (全球供應鏈) 都是關鍵詞。

On Taiwan Hashtag hosted by Ross Feingold, we discuss the aftermath of
recent tragic deaths of UberEats and foodpanda drivers. Are the platform
providers partners permanent hires, contract hires or independent
contracts? Apparently even government agencies are unsure but due to
media pressure there is a rush to define drivers’ legal status for
purposes of insurance normally mandatory for permanent hires. Is it a
rush to judgment? Will it make the operating environment more
challenging for sharing economy companies notwithstanding government
programs to encourage start-ups and innovation? Is a repeat of the
challenges Uber’s ride hailing app has had in Taiwan that forced Uber to
leave once and almost leave a second time? Or is it all just electoral
politics? Watch Taiwan Hashtag to learn more especially if you do so
while eating food delivered via your favorite app.
