【Taiwan is a democracy. 這句話怎麼翻呢?】
今天某藝人的發言,寫著 "Taiwan is a democracy. You can sing whatever the....." 意外地讓我發現了Google 的政治立場 😛。
Taiwan is a democracy. 其實有不只一種翻法,但 Google Translate 翻成了「台灣是個民主國家」。☺️
democracy 是個可數、也不可數的字。文法裡叫做 variable noun。
不可數時當作「民主制度」或是「民主」這個抽象概念,當作可數時可以當作相對具象的「民主政體」、或是「民主國家」,而演算法選了後者。
我在美國史丹佛大學 (Stanford Univ) 出版的文章當中,找到了這段文字給大家當延伸學習的參考。
Taiwan has undergone a peaceful transition to “democracy” over a period of more than a decade. Today, Taiwan is one of the freest and most vibrant “democracies” in Asia. Nevertheless, Taiwan's “democracy” still faces steep internal and external challenges. Some of these are common to many emerging and established “democracies” in Asia and beyond, including widespread popular dissatisfaction with elected leaders and the corruption of public officials. Others are unique to the island’s ambiguous status in international affairs and its complicated relationship with the authoritarian People’s Republic of China.
其中出現的 democracy 和 democracies, 是否正符合上面的解釋呢?

【亞洲再保證倡議法案 Asia Reassurance Initiative Act of 2018】
全名很長的《亞洲再保證倡議法案》有個好記的縮寫:ARIA,2018年4月由美國聯邦眾議院議員 Cory Gardner 領銜提出,同年年底經參、眾議院修改通過,2018年12月31日總統簽署正式生效。內容主要確立美國在印太地區的戰略與經營方針,要求美國政府為印太地區的盟友如日本、南韓、澳洲與台灣等提供保證,發展交流關係、共同維護區域安全。
法案第209項條款也重申了美國對台灣與中美關係的立場:持續支持美台之間在經濟、政治與安全等方面的合作;依據《台灣關係法》、中美聯合三公報、六項保證等法案與政策,實現美國對台海安全的承諾;反對改變台海現狀、支持兩岸皆能接受的和平解決方案。法案中也要求,美國總統應維持定期對台軍售,以合乎維護台海安全的需求,以及依據《台灣旅行法》派遣高階官員至台灣訪問,法案條款並將台灣明確列入美國應肯定的交往夥伴之一。
《亞洲再保證倡議法案》是《台灣關係法》、《台灣旅行法》之後,第三個內容明列台灣、與台灣直接相關的重要法案,由於經國會通過、總統簽署生效的法律性質,以及對以往中美關係相關法案、對台承諾的重新強調,部分學者將《亞洲再保證倡議法案》加入原本美國「一中政策」依據的「一法三公報六項保證」架構下,認為一中政策已演變調整為以「二法三公報六項保證」為原則。

asia noun 在 Travel Thirsty Youtube 的評價
Pulled chai made by a tea seller, or "chai wallah". Here's how masala chai is made at the famous Krishna's Tea Stall. Ingredients include black tea, fresh whole milk, water, black peppercorns, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. Unlike many milky teas, which are brewed in water with milk later added, traditional masala chai is often brewed directly in the milk.
Masala chai (Hindi: मसाला चाय, literally "mixed-spice tea"; Urdu: مصالحہ چائے) is a flavoured tea beverage made by brewing black tea with a mixture of aromatic Indian spices and herbs. Originating in India, the beverage has gained worldwide popularity, becoming a feature in many coffee and tea houses. Although traditionally prepared by a decoction of green cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks, ground cloves, ground ginger, and black peppercorn together with black tea leaves, retail versions include tea bags for infusion, instant powdered mixtures, and concentrates. The noun "chai" alone refers to the beverage tea; in some places, chai is an acceptable equivalent for masala chai.
In many Eurasian languages, chai or cha is the word for tea. This comes from the Persian چای chay, which originated from the Chinese word for tea 茶 chá. (The English word tea, on the other hand, comes from the Teochew dialect of Chinese teeh.) In English, this spiced tea is commonly referred to as masala chai or simply chai, even though the term refers to tea in general in the origin language. Numerous United States coffee houses use the term chai latte or the redundant term chai tea latte for their version to indicate that the steamed milk, much like a regular cafè latte, is mixed with a spiced tea concentrate instead of espresso. By 1994 the term had gained currency on the U.S. coffeehouse scene.
Masala tea is a very popular beverage in South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka). People start their day by consuming a cup of tea. This first cup of tea is fondly called 'bed tea'. Throughout the day people consume many cups of tea. Every street corner in places of business has a 'Chai Walla', a tea maker who brings hot tea to people's places of business whether they are retail businesses or commercial. Tea is a part of life and is offered to all guest at home and also to many customers visiting retail stores.
