美國為台灣發聲,美中戰火持續延燒?
雖然台灣依然缺席本次的世界衛生大會
但因著美國的大動作
也讓更多國家藉此機會認識台灣
接著讓我們看看昨天親自發聲明
向蔡總統致就任賀詞的 #美國國務卿 蓬佩奧(Pompeo)
為台灣譴責 WHO 的官方文件
-
The United States condemns Taiwan’s exclusion from the World Health Assembly. At a time when the world continues to struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic, we need multilateral institutions to deliver on their stated missions and to serve the interests of all member states, not to play politics while lives are at stake.
美國譴責世衛將台灣排除於世界衛生大會之外,值此世界持續對抗新冠肺炎之際,我們需要的是一個履行其既定使命的多邊機構,並為所有會員國的利益服務,而非在此生死交關的時刻操弄政治。
-condemn: 譴責
-multilateral: 多邊的(前篇文章也有出現的字!)
-at stake:處於危急關頭,此譯為生死交關
despite its close proximity to the original outbreak in Wuhan, China
儘管台灣距離疫情的爆發地——武漢相當接近
-proximity:接近、鄰近,名詞用法
*despite (prep.) 加名詞的用法又再次出現,後加its close proximity to,its是台灣的所有格,直翻為台灣與中國武漢的接壤、鄰近,稍加潤飾就成為譯文那樣
WHO’s Director-General Tedros had every legal power and precedent to include Taiwan in WHA’s proceedings
世衛秘書長譚德賽博士擁有一切法律上的權力與先例來將台灣納入世界衛生大會的程序中
-precedent:前例、先例
-proceeding:進行中的,表議程
The PRC’s spiteful action to silence Taiwan exposes the emptiness of its claims to want transparency and international cooperation to fight the pandemic
中國為了使台灣噤聲的惡意行為暴露出其高喊透明以及國際共同抗疫口號的空洞之處
-to silence:使…安靜、噤聲
-spiteful: full of spite, ill will, 充滿惡意的
-emptiness: empty的名詞,空泛、空洞的
*國務卿的政治地位:美國國務卿是美國聯邦政府中,繼美國副總統後的第二號內閣成員,也是講話份量舉足輕重的人物!

in spite of despite用法 在 Eric's English Lounge Facebook 的最佳解答
[文法與詞彙Q&A] although, but, yet, even though, though, whereas, despite, in spite of 的區別
A. 表示「雖然、儘管、但是」
1. although, but, yet
-In theory it seems like a good idea, but I don’t think it’ll work in practice.
-In theory it seems like a good idea, although I don’t think it’ll work in practice.
-Although it seems like a good idea, I don’t think it will work in practice.
※注意:although, but 兩者只能取其一,不能同時並用
Although it seems like a good idea, but I don’t think it will work in practice. (X)
※ 亦可用 still、anyway (依然、還是) 來加強but, although的語氣
I wasn’t feeling very well, but I still went to work.
I wasn’t feeling very well, but I went to work anyway.
I still went to work, although I wasn’t feeling very well.
Although I wasn’t feeling very well, I went to work anyway.
※亦可用yet來替代 but
It’s a simple yet very effective system.
In theory it seems like a good idea, (and) yet I don’t think it’ll work in practice.
Used as a conjunction, "yet" is similar in meaning to "but," but it has a stronger effect on the reader or listener. There is perhaps more of a surprise associated with the former statement. Note that you can put "and" in front of "yet" when it comes at the beginning of a clause, but of course this is not possible with "but," so you can write the following sentence:
"The cyclists were tired and hungry, all but exhausted, (and) yet they refused to give up in their attempt to finish the race."

--------------------------------------------------
2. though, even though
though 比較口語,意思與although同,但though 可以放在句尾(當副詞用)
-Though he has lived for years in London, he writes in French. (雖然)—連接詞
-He has lived for years in London. He writes in French, though. (不過、但是)--副詞
even though (即便、儘管)用法與although 同, 語氣更強烈
-Even though I wasn’t feeling very well, I still went to work.
=========================
B. 表示「而、卻、反之」(對照比較之用)
-Indonesia has a lot of natural resources, whereas Singapore has none.
-Whereas Indonesia has a lot of natural resources, Singapore has none.
※ although 與 whereas 的比較
although 含有驚訝的意味 (通常是第二個子句所透漏的訊息令人意外) We had a reasonable year in Asia, although sales fell a little in Japan.
Although sales fell a little in Japan, we had a reasonable year in the rest of Asia.
Whereas 則強調對照,驚訝意味並不濃
We had a reasonable year in Asia, whereas sales in Europe were quite disappointing.
※ while 的用法
Inflation rose by 3% last year, while house prices went up 6%. (=whereas)
While there are still some issues to resolve, I think we should go ahead. (=although)
=========================
C. despite/in spite of 的用法
despite 與 in spite of 意思同 although,但是用法不同;although 是連接詞,後面可接子句,despite/in spite of 為介係詞,後面必須接名詞或動名詞
Although sales increased, profits fell.
Despite the increase in sales, profits fell.
Although I was ill, I went to work.
In spite of my illness, I went to work.
Despite my illness, I went to work.
In spite of feeling ill, I went to work.
Despite feeling ill, I went to work.
