Anti-Chen protesters undeterred by rain
Pressure was piling up against scandal-plagued Taiwan "president" Chen
Shui-bian to resign as tens of thousands of protestors braved bad weather to
continue their round-the-clock demonstration for the second day yesterday.
衝撞被弊案纏身的「總統」陳水扁以致下台的壓力，在上萬的抗議者在
勇敢的抵抗壞天氣，並且繼續著他們不分晝夜的示威的第二天，持續高張。
Torrential rain fell throughout the day in Taipei but that did not dampen the
enthusiasm of the crowd, which marched through the city centre after a
relatively quiet sit-in.
暴雨在台北下了一整天，不過這並沒有讓群眾的熱情減退，他們在相對
平靜的靜坐後，遊行過整個城市。
Although the turnout was lower because of the rain and cold, organizers
pledged not to give up their non-stop campaign until the embattled leader
resigns over a series of corruption scandals.
因為冷和濕所以人群變少了，主辦單位相信這不會讓這不停止的活動被
迫放棄，直到他們所指的，有著一連串貪腐弊案醜聞的領導人辭職為止。
Under a giant red balloon with the Chinese character for "shame," protesters
chanted "A-bian, step down," a reference to Chen's nickname, and gave the
"thumbs- down" gesture as they walked along a broad boulevard next to the
sprawling "presidential office building."
在一個巨大的，標著中文「恥」字的氣球之下，抗議者呼喊著「阿扁，下
台，」，那是陳水扁的暱稱，還有「拇指往下」的手勢，（後面那句上面文
章翻過了XD）
Many were clad in red to symbolize their anger at Chen's government, which
for the past six months has been under fire for widespread charges of
corruption and incompetence.
（這邊也是XD）
Shih Ming-teh, the former chairman of Chen's ruling Democratic Progressive
Party (DPP), started the mass protest aimed at unseating Chen on Saturday
afternoon.
施明德，過去曾任執政黨民進黨黨主席的他，禮拜六下午開始了這項把
陳水扁拉下台的活動。
Organizers of the anti-Chen campaign put Saturday's attendance at around
200,000, though police reportedly estimated the turnout at 90,000.
主辦單位說禮拜六有大概二十萬人，雖然警方說大概人群只有九萬左右。
Shih began yesterday's gathering with a call to supporters to continue the
struggle against Chen.
（一樣XD）
"This will be a long battle," he said. "It won't be easy to bring down
Taiwan's most powerful man."
（還是一樣XD）
The campaign organizer warned that Chen would become a "prisoner" of his
office and Taiwan "paralyzed" if he serves out his term which ends in May
2008.
這項活動的主辦單位警告陳水扁，他將會變成一個在他府內的「囚犯」
，，並且如果他繼續把他任期作到 2008 年五月的話，台灣將會癱瘓。
"The people of Taiwan have the power to ask Chen to step down," he said. "We
will not stop this protest until he does."
（一樣XD）
Chen's problems centre on allegations that his family and inner circle used
their positions for personal financial gain.
（一 樣）
In July, his son-in-law was indicted for alleged insider trading involving a
local development firm and taking bribes. Chen has publicly apologized for
Chao Chien-ming's actions.
"First lady" Wu Shu-chen is also under investigation for allegedly profiting
from the transfer of an upscale department store to new owners.
Prosecutors then began looking at whether Chen had misused funds intended for
"diplomatic" affairs, and questioned him last month.
In June. he survived an unprecedented "parliament" vote to topple him, after
the move failed to win the backing of two-thirds of all "lawmakers." If
passed, it would have triggered a referendum on Chen's future.
（以上除了所有有關政府的詞都被引號起來，其他都一樣XD）
Ma Ying-jeou, chairman of the opposition Kuomintang, and James Soong,
chairman of the People First Party, joined the mass sit-in on Saturday
evening.
馬英九，反對黨國民黨的黨主席，還有詹姆士宋（宋楚瑜），親民黨黨
主席，也在禮拜六晚上參加了這次很多人的靜坐。
In an open letter published in leading Taiwanese newspapers on Saturday, Ma
said the DPP should not become "an accomplice to corruption," referring to
Chen's alleged graft scandals.
馬英九在禮拜六登了一封公開信在台灣的主要報紙上，他說馬英九不應該
「和貪腐當共犯，」這是在指陳水扁被指控的那些行賄醜聞。
"We will not be happy to see the DPP collapse because of its support for
Chen, (as) this would be bad for Taiwan," Ma said in his appeal, and called
on the DPP to launch a recall motion against Chen in the "legislature."
「我們不樂見民進黨因為其支持陳而崩潰，（因為）這樣會對台灣不好
。」馬說了他的訴求，並且並且呼籲民進黨在「立法院」裡面發動罷免行
動。
The latest Taiwan media opinion poll has found that 68.5 per cent of
residents support the campaign to oust Chen.
最新的台灣民調顯示，有百分之 68.5的居民支持把阿扁拉下台的這個活動。
