關於 precedent president ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

Discovering the truth behind President Tsai Ing-wen’s thesis is the responsibility of intellectuals and the media. Six months ago, prosecutors sought to charge Professor Hwan C. Lin, Professor Ho De-fen, and Dr. Dennis Peng with defamation. It was the first time an acting president brought forth a lawsuit against scholars.

For two years, anyone who doubted Tsai Ing-wen’s thesis, or even questioned it, were ridiculed by the media and legally persecuted. But, aren’t government leaders in a democratic society obligated to have the authenticity of their credentials tested? Why does the opposite prevail in Taiwan? Why can a leader who has their credentials questioned forgo providing proof and can, instead, use the judicial system to suppress those that question them?

The hallmark of a dutiful scholar is how willing they are to uphold academic integrity. A desire to authenticate Tsai’s degree is a basic reaction for anyone who considers themselves part of the academic circle. However, after Tsai sought legal action against the three scholars, the public came to understand that “questioning Tsai’s degree will get you sued.” Such a precedent is an affront to academic integrity, and an insult to intellectuals everywhere.

Can Taiwan deem itself a proud democracy if its head of state is allowed to use privilege to elevate themselves their whole life, and then escape criticism when questioned? Can Taiwan say it’s the proud democracy it claims to be when judicial mechanisms are used to enact acts of academic fraud? Martial law has been abolished for decades, and yet this country still operates like a dictatorship. Today is about transitional justice in the academic realm. Transitional justice begins when we can face our mistakes. Here, justice begins when Tsai faces her own academic fraud.

Today’s press conference is about rallying the public to stand up against authoritarianism. We call on Tsai Ing-wen to do her duty as head of state and divulge the truth about her thesis. If she refuses to do so, then the other purpose of today is to reveal the evidence we have found that uncovers that truth.

It’s time the lies ended. We will hold a press conference at the Legislative Yuan tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. Eat News will broadcast the entire event live: https://www.eatnews.co.uk/video/20210909-1/

川普臉書帳號被停權？
週五晚上，來和 Sonny老師的翻譯&教學札記 一起讀報

以下為 Sonny 老師第一視角

-

昨晚讀 CNN Newsletters 時
讀到一段用字精準、簡潔有力的報導
來帶大家一起閱讀

標題：Facebook faces a huge decision today

1️⃣ The Facebook Oversight Board will announce its long-anticipated decision on the fate of former President Trump's Facebook account at 9 a.m. ET today.
（臉書獨立監察團今天將在美國東岸時間 9:00 ，宣布前總統川普臉書帳號的命運，這是個大眾矚目許久的決議。）
👉 oversight 有「監察、督導」之意，動詞是 oversee
👉 announce 宣布，常見的搭配還有 make an announcement（發表聲明）
👉 long-anticipated 等待許久的，英文新聞中常使用「複合形容詞」，閱讀起來更生動傳神

2️⃣ Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts were suspended indefinitely a day after the Capitol riot in January. (YouTube and Twitter made similar moves.)
（今年一月國會大廈暴動的隔天，川普的臉書和 IG 帳號即被無限期停用。YouTube 和 Twitter 也有類似的動作。）
👉 suspend 是非常值得學習的動詞，有「停權；暫緩；懸掛」等字義
👉 indefinitely 可指「無限期的」或「含糊的」
👉 make similar moves 是簡潔有力的說法，很適合用在寫作上

3️⃣ The decision on Trump’s Facebook account is so contentious and historic, Facebook itself isn’t doing the deliberating. The oversight board is an independent body described as a kind of Supreme Court for the social network.
（針對川普臉書帳號的決議事關重大且爭議性高，生殺大權並不在臉書手上。獨立監察團是個被稱為「社群網路的最高法院」的獨立單位。）
👉 contentious and historic 兩個形容詞互不重複，是很棒的連用
👉 deliberate 指「審慎考慮」；isn’t doing the deliberating 是很美式的說法
👉 social network 指「社群網路」；social media 則是「社群媒體」

4️⃣ Its decision today will set extremely important precedents for content moderation that could ripple through the social media -- and political -- worlds.
（監察團今日的決定將成為內容審查的重要判例，影響可能擴及社群媒體及政界。）
👉 precedent (n.) 先例；判例/ unprecedented (adj.) 史無前例的
👉 content moderation 內容審查；言論仲裁
👉 ripple 當名詞時指「漣漪」，當動詞引申為「漾起漣漪；造成影響」

獨立監察團的最後決議為：
繼續停權川普帳號，但要求臉書在 6 個月內提出「扣合其社群平台規則的處置方式」。

🔥 China Breaks With Taiwan Precedent, Omitting Call for ‘Peaceful’ Policy
中國打破慣例，對台灣政策未提「和平」字眼

- precedent 先例，前例，慣例
- omit 疏忽，遺漏；刪節，排除

🧐 Beijing dropped calls for pursuing peaceful ties or peaceful unification with Taiwan in an annual policy blueprint, breaking with nearly three decades of precedent in a sign that it is taking a tougher tack toward the self-ruled island.
北京在年度政策規劃中，放棄呼籲推動兩岸關係和平發展或和平統一，這一做法打破了近30年來的慣例，也表明當局對台灣將採取更為強硬的態度。

- drop calls for 這邊的drop是「放棄」之意，而calls則是「呼籲」，整個片語是指「放棄對…的呼籲」的意思。
- unification 統一
- tack 用風改變航向，在這指的是改變「方針、方向」

✏️ China’s yearly government work report, delivered to the legislature by Premier Li Keqiang on Friday, also reiterated the government’s commitment to “oppose and deter any separatist activities” seeking independence for Taiwan, an island democracy that Beijing claims as its territory.
中國國家總理李克強上周五向立法機構提交了年度政府工作報告，該報告重申中國政府堅決反對和遏制任何「台獨」分裂行徑。台灣是一個民主島嶼，中國政府稱台灣是其領土的一部分。

- legislature 立法機關
中華民國立法院：Legislative Yuan, Republic of China (Taiwan)
- reiterate 重申
- separatist 分離主義者
- claim 宣稱、斷言、主張

👩🏻 Mr. Li’s address came two days after Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen kicked off her second term with a fresh call for Beijing to open dialogue with Taipei in a way that respects what she called Taiwanese sovereignty and democracy—an appeal that China has repeatedly rejected.
台灣總統蔡英文上周三開啟了她的第二個任期，而李克強於上周五發表了上述講話。蔡英文在就職時再次呼籲北京當局尊重她倡導的台灣主權與民主，以尊重的方式與我方展開對話，但中國一直拒絕她這樣的呼籲。

- kick off 開始
✍️ 最早是形容足球的開球，後來變引申為「開始」之意
- term 任期
- open dialogue with… 開啟與…的對話
- sovereignty 主權
- appeal 呼籲，懇求

未完待續...
究竟李克強在報告中說了些什麼呢？

Here, I want to ＿＿＿ the words "peace, parity, democracy, and ＿＿＿." We will not accept the Beijing authorities' use of "one country, two systems" to downgrade Taiwan and undermine the cross-strait status quo. We stand fast by this principle.
我要再次重申「和平、對等、民主、對話」這八個字。我們不會接受北京當局，以「一國兩制」矮化台灣，破壞台海的現狀，這是我們堅定不移的原則。

Carlos Ghosn press conference in Lebanon.Lebanese people should send him back to Japan for their equality.

Proceedings of the press conference of Carlos Ghosn in Lebanon. First of all, Japanese justice was shit, it was difficult to investigate. It is natural to make me happy because I am rebuilding Nissan.
I am not bad. Tanaka from the University of Tokyo also says it's strange and I'm great, Nishikawa and Toyota are Pearl Harbor, the bad guys being bad guys.
The judge is a good person, but the boss is a district attorney and a fucking bastard. I'm great, the current management is shit, I can say many other names, but I will not say it for Lebanon.
Arrested for unpaid compensation is guilty in Japan but safe in Tennessee.
Because I'm CEO, I can use a lot of reserves, but it requires a vice president and a number of autographs, and Nissan paid a lot of money to my friends in the Middle East because it's fucked up. Middle East.
I'm amazing, Nissan has been terrible since my arrest.
It was much more difficult, I had fewer baths in my cell, twice a week. My wife was arrested by accident, and if I were to die in Japan, I was obviously taken away.
Interviewed by someone who spoke neither English nor French. Treatment in a cell is bad. It was a plot by Minimalist Life, Talezo, a network of victims of technological crimes.
The Palace of Versailles is incredible, and the criticism at the Palace of Versailles is a personal attack. I am a patron of the Palace of Versailles.
Finally, thank you family.

逮捕されたのは支払われていない報酬について、日本では有罪だがテネシー州では合法（アメリカのテネシー州のことか）。
CEOだから予備金をたくさん使えるがは副社長など何人もの証人が必要、中東での日産は（ブランド力無いから）中東の友達に多額の資金を払った（賄賂か）。
私は有能だったが、逮捕されてから日産は無能。
辛い独房生活をした、風呂の回数が少ない、週2回でした。妻が逮捕されたのは偶然、日本で死ぬくらいなら逃げるのは当然、人質だった。
英語もフランス語も喋れない人から尋問を受ける。独房での待遇が悪い。単調な生活、Talezo氏（誰）、マスコミ、ネット局の陰謀でした。
ヴェルサイユ宮殿は素晴らしいです、ヴェルサイユ宮殿での豪遊批判は人格攻撃。私はヴェルサイユ宮殿を個人的に援助しています。最後に家族の方々ありがとうございます。

カルロス・ゴーンとレバノン トップレベルでこんな前例作ったらレバノンはダメだろ

GT-R (It is and a GT are) is Nissan and a car that Nissan Motor Co. manufactures and is
selling.
Outline

GT-R of skyline GT-R that is the symbol of a current sports model of Nissan ..the succession model (It counts from GT-R of the first generation and become the sixth generation) it.. is hit at the third generation. The vehicle model is different in the R35 type that becomes a serial number from skyline GT -R of predecessor's R34 type from the skyline of a present type (V36 type). The R35 type became an independent model as "Skyline" disappeared from the car name and all bodies and the drive trains were developed though was a tuning car even the predecessor (To a basic target) to which the engine and the suspension were strengthened based on the skyline coupe.

As for sales on the world scale on which the left-hand drive is prepared, the R35 type becomes the first time though there is a precedent that GT-R was sold in Britain while limiting the number in the age of the R33 type and the R34 type skyline (each 100).

The mass production type is announced by the 40th Tokyo Motor Show held on October 24, 2007, and it has been put on the market in Japan since December 6. It was first open to the public in a Los Angeles auto show in December in North America.
History

The history of GT-R is Carlos Ghosn COO at the press conference by the 35th Tokyo Motor Show in 2001 at that time. ｢There are three famous alphabets worldwide. It is G, T, and R. I will promise here. GT-R revives without fail. ｣Imbert of "GT-R concept" following the speech starts from doing. At that time, a concrete content including the specification was undecided at all. only decided the development of still new model GT-R itOne from which "The model's new model GT-R and on the market announcement and sale in 2007" was declared in the 37th Tokyo Motor Show in 2003 afterwards. Before it announces

"GT-R concept" is exhibited in the 35th Tokyo Motor Show in October, 2001.

"GT-R concept" is exhibited in an international North America auto show in January, 2002. "GT-R concept" is exhibited in the 72nd Geneva Motor Show in March. R34 type skyline GT-R ended production with Toyota Supra etc. who were the rivals by incompatible exhaust emissions regulations in 2000 fiscal year in August. Afterwards, a lot of information was not brought by the gag order that had to be called an exception as for Nissan in-house either.

It is clarified more than Carlos Ghosn COO that the announcement and the sale of the new model GT-R model on the market become the autumn of 2007 years in the interview for the press of the 37th Tokyo Motor Show in October, 2003.

"GT-R PROTO" is exhibited in the 39th Tokyo Motor Show on October 22, 2005. This prototype was only an exterior design, and neither the engine nor the transmission were installed. The part that had been followed from R34 type skyline GT-R like the shape etc. of the round type rear light and the rear deck was abundant though only the reception desk mask was a reformative design of vertical front right.

The test vehicle of GT-R ran while demonstrating it to the Hill super-climb car class of Goodwood festival Ob speed (Goodwood Festival of Speed) played in Britain (Shoutenhaz) in participation from 22nd to 24th in June, 2007. It was Carlos Tabares of the commodity and the management planning charge director vice president of Nissan to serve as the driver.
