(注:国外媒体不见得用KMT称呼国民党,Nationalist Party也有人用) : His apparent willingness to countenance his party's actions against : opposition politicians is provoking stinging criticism of his administration, : both at home and abroad. 他明显默许(apparent willingness to countenance)他的党攻击反对阵营的政治人物, 引发了对於他的领导的强烈批评(stinging criticism),这批评不止来自於大众,也来自 於他本身的阵营(at home and abroad) : It is "reminiscent of Richard Nixon's behavior, as in ordering IRS : investigations of groups he didn't like," said June Teufel Dreyer, a : China-Taiwan expert at the University of Miami, in an e-mail response to : questions. The IRS is the American tax agency. June Teufel Dreyer,迈阿密大学的两岸专家,在一封电子邮件中对这问题表示以下看法: "这让人回想起尼克森利用IRS去调查他不喜欢的团体."IRS为美国税务机关. : No one suggests Ma wants to turn the clock back on free elections and other : democratic reforms that swept the island starting in the mid-1980s. 没有人认为马英九想要把台湾的民主时钟调回到1980年代中期-那正是台湾这个岛上 自由选举及民主改革开始的时间点. : What worries some is the efforts by Nationalist lawmakers to pressure the : Ministry of Justice into prosecuting former officials of the rival Democratic : Progressive Party, including former President Chen Shui-bian. 让人忧心的是国民党立法委员(Nationalist lawmakers)对於司法单位（Ministry of Justice）施加压力,迫使他们起诉敌对阵营-民主进步党-的前朝官员,这之中还包括 了前任总统陈水扁. : Chen was indicted on Dec. 12 on charges of money laundering, looting a : special presidential fund and taking bribes during his eight years in office. : Few deny that there is probably substance to the allegations. The problem, : the critics contend, is that Ma has failed to stop a campaign by lawmakers to : keep Chen in jail pending trial. 陈水扁在12/12被以在其八年总统任期中进行洗钱、搜刮国务机要费(special presidential fund),以及收贿的罪名起诉. 少部分人认为起诉的证据并不充足. 但问题在於,批评者主张马并没有成功阻止立法委员们试图让扁被收押的行为. (注:原字fail,但为求翻译顺畅,用"没有成功"翻译之) : Following his indictment, a three-judge panel from the Taipei District Court : ordered him released on his own recognizance. Lead judge Chou Chan-chun said : it was unlikely that Chen would attempt to flee before his trial. 在陈水扁被起诉後,由三名台北地方法院的法官组成的羁押庭裁定交保後释放. 审判长官周占春说陈水扁在审理开始前并没有逃亡之虞. : Prosecutors initially accepted the decision but, following intense criticism : from Nationalist lawmakers, they changed their mind and filed an appeal. : On Dec. 18, the court rejected the appeal. 检察官一开始接受了这项决定,但在国民党立法委员强烈批评下,检察官们改变主意并 提出抗告.在12/18法院驳回了这项诉求. : This provoked a new round of attacks led by Nationalist lawmaker Chiu Yi, who : spent eight months in prison for leading violent protests against Chen's : narrow re-election victory in 2004. 这引发了国民党籍立法委员邱毅新一波的攻击-邱毅委员曾经因为於2004大选後 为抗议陈水扁胜选引发的暴力行为而入狱服刑八个月. : "If Chou knows about shame, he should resign and let others handle the case," : Chiu told reporters. "If he doesn't do so ... I will impeach him so that he : loses his job." 邱毅告诉记者:"如果周占春知耻,他应该放手让其他人来审这个案子" "如果他不这麽做...我会去检举他让他丢掉饭碗" : On Dec. 25 the District Court took the unusual step of shifting Chen's case : to a different three-judge panel, giving the lead role to Tsai Shou-hsun, who : had acquitted Ma on graft charges of his own in 2007. 12/25地方法院采取了一个不寻常的举动(unusual step),他们将陈水扁的案子交由 蔡守训法官审理-蔡守训在2007在马英九贪污案(graft charge)上判处马英九无罪. : Three days later, the new panel accepted the prosecution's argument that Chen : was a flight risk and ordered him back to jail. 三天後,新的审查法官们接受了特侦组的说法,认为陈水扁有逃亡之虞而将他收押. : "The pressure from critics has been undisguised," The Apple Daily newspaper : said in an editorial. "If a judge does not hand out a verdict according to : their wishes, they ... besmirch his reputation. The judiciary should avoid : considering political elements in a case." 苹果日报在社论中表示"来自批评者的压力毫无掩饰". "如果法官不能根据自由意志做出判决,他们(将)弄臭了自己的名声.司法应该避免 政治考量" : Ma spokesman Wang Yu-chi denied any political intervention in Chen's case. : Taipei District Court spokesman Huang Chun-ming said the decision to change : judges was for efficiency, so that the same panel would handle the cases of : both Chen and his wife, who also faces graft charges. 总统府发言人王郁琦否认对於扁案有任何政治力介入. 台北地方法院发言人黄俊明表示换法官的决定是因为这样比较有效率,这样法官可以 同时审理陈水扁及他太太的案子.陈水扁的太太也面临贪污的指控. : Typically, though, his wife's case would have been moved to the judges : hearing his case, since hers is a less important one. 照理说,既然陈水扁太太的案子比较不重要,应该是要并到陈水扁的案子中审理. : Political scientist Wang Yeh-lih of Taipei's National Taiwan University said : the most disturbing aspect of the Chen affair has been the readiness of : Nationalist lawmakers to leak information from the investigation to allies in : the media. 台湾大学政治学者王业立表示,扁案的令人困扰的问题是国民党籍立法委员不断地 (has been the readiness)将来自侦察单位的案情内容透露给同阵营的媒体(allies in the media). : He also blamed prosecutors, saying they "consistently violated the principle : of guarding the details of investigations during Chen's case." 他同时谴责检察官们"不断地违反侦察不公开的原则" : Wang said Ma's apparent inability to stand up to lawmakers in his own party : was also evident in his reluctance to prevent senior Nationalist officials : from holding talks in Shanghai last month with China's Communist Party. 王业立表示,马英九的软弱不只表现在无力制止同党的立委,同时也表现在没有意愿 阻止老国民党员跟中国共产党在上海举行会谈. : The negotiations, on two-way investment and cooperation in financial and : service industries, circumvented the Straits Exchange Foundation, the : Taiwanese body established to conduct talks with the mainland. 这项协谈-在双方投资,金融及服务业的合作-避开了海基会这个由台湾民间建立作为 对大陆谈判的机构. : The leaders of the Nationalist delegation included honorary party chairman : Lien Chan, whom critics chide as a supporter of reunification with the : mainland, something most Taiwanese oppose. Ma has pledged not to discuss the : issue while in office. 国民党代表团的领导人包括荣誉主席连战-一般评论认为他是和中国统一的支持者,而统一 为台湾多数人所反对.而马英九曾经保证在其任内不会讨论统一的议题. : Wang said the meeting signaled the government's willingness to abdicate its : authority to the ruling political party _ much as the Nationalist Party : dictated policy during martial law from 1947 to 1987. 王业立说这项会谈传达了政府同意放弃对其政党的主导权- 就如同国民党在1947到1987军事统治期间所采取的的政策一样. (注:这一段所要表达的应该是政府决定回到"以党领政"的时代) : Wang Yu-chi, the Ma spokesman, said any agreements reached with the mainland : would need government approval. 马英九发言人王郁琦表示,所有与大陆的协议都必须有政府的同意. : "The only agency recognized by the government to hold talks with China is the : Straits Exchange Foundation," he said. "Non-governmental talks will not bring : about the implementation of deals that are agreed upon." 王郁琦表示:"政府唯一认可与中国交流的单位为海协会." "非官方的对话所做的承诺并不代表政府就会履行." : But Wang Yeh-lih, the political scientist, has his doubts. : "The Nationalists are circumventing public supervision when they talk to the : communists on its own," he said. "This is not something a democratic country : would normally tolerate." 但王业立对这点表示怀疑 他表示:"国民党与共产党的协谈规避了人民的检视,这不是一个民主国家所能容忍的" -- 《投资中国 你必须知道的陷阱》 台湾投资中国受害者协会理事长 高为邦 http://www.vica.org.tw/ --
