We want nothing to do with it," said protester Wu Chao-hsiung, a carpenter from Taipei. "We have to insist on the freedom to determine our own fate." 「中國是一個暴力的國家。我們不想要和它有任何瓜葛。」(會不會翻得太強烈,汗~)抗議者吳朝雄(音譯)說,來自台北的一個木匠。 「我們必須堅守決定我們自己命運的自由。」 China's annual session of parliament passed the anti-secession law on March 14. Beijing has claimed Taiwan as its own since their split at the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949. 中國的年度國會會期在3月14日通過了反分裂法。北京宣稱台灣為它的一部分在1949年中國內戰結束時分離。 Thousands of tour buses from all over the island arrived in Taipei filled with protesters, who assembled in 10 different areas -- each route representing one of the articles of the anti-secession law. 數以千計遊覽車來自全島各地抵達充滿抗議者的台北,而他們被集聚於10個不同的區域─每條路線代表反分裂法的條文。 The marchers then converged on the wide boulevard in front of the president's office. Police estimated the crowd at about a million, The Associated Press reported. Taiwan's population is 23 million. 遊行隊伍最後在總統府前寬廣的大道上聚集。美聯社報導警察估計大約一百萬的群眾。台灣的人口是二千三百萬。 President Chen Shui-bian, a fierce longtime critic of Beijing's Communist leadership, appeared at an intersection along one of the protest routes and waved at bystanders. 陳水扁總統,北京共產領導的長期強烈批評家,出現在沿著抗議路徑之一的路口並且向群眾揮手。 As he promised, Chen didn't speak at the rally, but he mounted a stage and chanted slogans with the crowds, AP reported. He closed off the event by singing a song -- "Taiwan is our baby." 如同他所承諾,陳在示威遊行並沒有發表演說,但是他和群眾上了舞台並呼喊口號,美聯社報導。他藉由唱一首歌結束這次的遊行-「台灣是我們的寶貝」(伊是阮的寶貝)。 China's state-run China Daily said on Friday the march could raise tensions and set back bilateral ties, and cautioned against talk and acts by Chen at the rally. (Full story) 中國的國營的人民日報在星期五說遊行升高緊張且倒退了雙邊關係,且警告陳總統在遊行中的言行。 Some analysts see the law -- which codified Beijing's longstanding threat to attack Taiwan -- as a bid by Beijing to deter Chen from pushing for a formal split from China before the end of his term in 2008. 部分分析專家評論這法律-將北京長期對台的武力威脅編成條文-是北京作為威懾陳總統在2008年他的任期結束前推動正式獨立的出招。 Former President Lee Teng-hui, 82, who has become a vocal supporter of independence since retiring in 2000, also marched in the protest. Vice President Annette Lu also made a brief appearance. 前總統李登輝,82歲,自2000年退休後成為台獨的聲援者,亦在抗議的遊行隊伍中。 副總統呂秀蓮亦做了簡短的聲明。 "What do we want from China? Peace," lawmaker Bi-Khim Hsiao led the crowd in chanting. 「我們對中國有何要求? 和平。」立法委員蕭美琴帶領群眾呼喊口號。 Hsiao said there is no real expectation Beijing will reconsider the law. The protest is aimed more at bringing greater international pressure on China to negotiate peacefully. 蕭美琴說對北京再考慮重新立法不抱任何幻想。抗議的目的在於帶給中國更大的國際輿論壓力促成和平談判。 "(The law) essentially gives China a blank check to use force against Taiwan, and they are the ones legislating, they are the ones interpreting the law, and executing and implementing the law," Hsiao told CNN on Saturday. 「(反分裂法)本質上給中國一張武力犯台的空白支票,而他們是法律的制立者、詮譯者、執行者及實踐者(以這法律為工具的人)。」蕭美琴在星期六告訴了CNN記者。 Organizers billed the protest as a "peace carnival." A woman dressed as the Statue of Liberty waved her torch at the crowds, while a five-story-high white balloon representing peace was erected at the protest site. 號召者稱之為「和平嘉年華會」。 一個女人穿著如被自由女神像向群眾揮舞著她的火炬,這時一個五層樓高代表和平的白色氣球被豎立在抗議處。 An equally tall model of a red sea urchin -- its needles said to symbolize the missiles China is pointing at Taiwan -- was deflated at the end of the rally. Protesters climbed over it and tried to tear it apart. 一個相等高的紅海膽模型-它的刺針象徵中國對準台灣的飛彈-在示威運動尾聲被放氣。抗議者攀上它並試著撕裂它。 Protesters chanted "Oppose War, Love Taiwan" and carried signs reading "Shame on China" and "Democracy." 抗議者呼喊「反戰爭、愛台灣」並帶在「可恥中國」和「民主」的標語。 U.S. and Japanese flags flew below a green protest banner, while demonstrators erected large paper board with the faces of U.S. President George W. Bush and Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi 美國和日本國旗在一個綠色的抗議旗幟下飛揚,這時示威者豎起美國布希總統及日本首相小泉純一郎的大型紙板。 Many Taiwanese see those two countries as the island's most likely allies in any military conflict with China. 許多台灣人認為這兩個國家是這島嶼與中國發生軍事衝突時最有可能的同盟。 The United States has pledged to defend Taiwan in the event of an attack. Washington said the legislation could set back cross-Strait relations and called its passage "unfortunate." 美國已承諾在台灣被襲擊時協防台灣。美國當局(華盛頓)說此項立法倒退了海峽兩岸的關係並稱它的立法通過為「不幸的」。 China's tougher stance on Taiwan has also made Europe wary about lifting an arms embargo, an anticipated move that now appears will be delayed. (Full story) 中國對台灣較強硬的態度也使歐洲提升了武器禁運,原本預期要解禁的現在將被延期。 "The anti-secession law, simply put, is a law that authorizes war," 70-year-old businessman Fan Wen-yi said. "If they really see Taiwan people as their compatriots, why do they enact such a law?" 「反分裂法,簡單地說,只是授權戰爭的法律。」70 歲的商人范文義(音譯)說。 「如果他們真的認為台灣人是他們同國人,為何制定如此的法律"? Vivian Wang, a 38-year-old restaurant worker, traveled about 300 km (190 miles) by bus from the southern city of Kaohsiung to join the protest. 王薇薇安(音譯),一個38歲的餐廳工作人員,從高雄市南部坐遊覽車坐了大約 300 km(190 英哩)來參加抗議。 "Taiwan is only a small island, so we must speak out really loud to make the world hear that we are a democracy facing an evil giant," Wang said. 「台灣只是一個小島,因此我們更要真的高聲地說出讓全世界聽到,我們是面對一個邪惡的強權的民主國家。」王薇薇安說。 Leaders from the Nationalist Party -- which opposes independence and wants to improve relations with China -- stayed away from the protest. 國民黨的領導人們─其反對獨立且想改善與中國的關係─未參與抗議。 Protest supporters also staged demonstrations in Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Brussels, Belgium. 抗議的支持者亦在香港、洛杉磯和比利時布魯塞爾表達民主訴求。 __________________________________________________________________ 翻得不好之處請大家多多指教! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.30.97.194
