Lee Teng-hui may be remembered as "Mr. Democracy," as some journalists have labeled him, but a better moniker would be "Mr. Taiwan Identity."
人們對李登輝先生的印象或許是一些記者為他貼上的標籤「民主先生」，但更好的稱呼會是「台灣身份先生」
-democracy: 民主；民主思想；民主政體；民主國家
-moniker: 綽號、稱號
-identity: 身份；特性
The real father of Taiwan's democratic transition was the late President Chiang Ching-kuo, who released political prisoners and allowed opposition politicians to contest elections beginning in 1980. Mr. Lee continued the process, to his credit, but his main contribution was to accomplish the "Taiwanization" of the KMT and the government, and to lead the Taiwanese people in a search for their own identity.
台灣真正的民主轉型之父是已故的蔣經國總統，他從1980年開始釋放政治犯，並允許對立的政客參與選舉。而李先生繼續這段轉型過程也功不可沒，但他的主要貢獻是完成國民黨與政府的「台灣化」，以及帶領台灣人民找尋自己的身份認同。
-political prisoner: 政治犯
-to his credit: 形容某人配受讚譽和尊重，實至名歸
-contribution: 貢獻；捐款
Mr. Lee epitomizes the contradictions of being Taiwanese. When he was born the island was Japanese territory, and as a result he speaks Japanese more fluently than Mandarin. He understood the confused identity of an ethnically and culturally Chinese people separated from their compatriots by a very different history.
李先生是身為台灣人的矛盾之縮影。當他出生時，該島是日本領土，因此他說日語比講中文更流利。他理解這群在種族與文化上屬於華人，但因著極為不同的歷史而跟同胞分離所導致的身份困惑。
-epitomize: 成為...的典範、典型或縮影
-contradiction: 矛盾
-compatriot: 同胞
For the Japanese occupation was quickly followed by a Chinese occupation that was even more brutal. When the young Lee Teng-hui was a college student in Taipei during the white terror of 1947, he was interrogated for several days by the nationalist security forces for having attended an underground study group.
因爲在日本佔領後，緊接著國民黨政府的接管更為激烈。在1947年的白色恐怖時期，年輕的李登輝還是大學生，他因參加地下讀書會而被國民黨維安部隊審問了好幾天。
-occupation: 佔領、佔據
-white terror: 白色恐怖
-interrogate: 詢問、審問
