"We don't have a need to declare ourselves an independent state," the 63-year-old president told the BBC in an exclusive interview, her first since the election. "We are an independent country already and we call ourselves the Republic of China, Taiwan."
13. declare 宣布
14. an independent state 一個獨立的國家；政府
15. exclusive interview 專訪
16. an independent country 一個獨立國家
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Such statements infuriate Beijing, which wants a return to the "One China" principle favoured by the main rival she saw off in the race for president, Han Kuo-yu from the Kuomintang party. His party traces its roots to the defeated nationalists in the Chinese civil war, who fled to Taiwan and continued to see the island as part of a greater China from which they had been usurped.

18. return to 還給, 歸回

23. be usurped 被篡奪
★★★★★★★★★★★★
In recent years, that concept of One China has proved a useful compromise, Taiwanese supporters of it argue. China insists on its acceptance as a prerequisite for building economic ties with Taiwan, precisely because doing so is an explicit denial of its existence as a de facto island state.
24. a useful compromise 有用的協定, 妥協
25. insist on 堅持
26. a prerequisite for... ...的先決條件
27. build economic ties 建立經濟聯繫
28. a explicit denial 明確否認
29. de facto 事實上
★★★★★★★★★★★★
But it is clear that Ms Tsai* believes her victory is proof of how little appetite there now is for the One China concept and the ambiguity it allowed over Taiwan's real status. "The situation has changed," she says. "The ambiguity can no longer serve the purposes it was intended to serve." And what has really changed, she suggests, is China.
-\-\BBC
30. it is clear that… ...是清楚的
31. proof of… …的證明
32. how little appetite there is for... 對...沒有多少胃口; 對...不接受
33. One China concept 一個中國的概念
34. ambiguity 模棱兩可
35. real status 真實狀態
36. intend to serve… 所欲實現的（成效）
*President Tsai
★★★★★★★★★★★★
"Because [for more than] three years we're seeing China has been intensifying its threat... they have their military vessels and aircraft cruising around the island," she says. "And also, the things happening in Hong Kong, people get a real sense that this threat is real and it's getting more and more serious."
37. intensify its threat 加劇威脅
38. military vessels and aircrafts 軍艦和飛機
39. get more serious 變得更嚴重
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Taiwan's interests, she believes, are not best served by semantics but by facing up to the reality, in particular the aspirations of the Taiwanese youth who flocked to her cause. "We have a separate identity and we're a country of our own. So, if there's anything that runs counter to this idea, they will stand up and say that's not acceptable to us. "We're a successful democracy, we have a pretty decent economy, we deserve respect from China."
40. Taiwan’s interests are not best served by semantics. 文字遊戲並非最佳實現台灣利益（的方式）
41. semantics 語義學; 文字遊戲
42. face up to reality 面對現實
43. the aspirations of the Taiwanese youth 台灣青年的志向
44. flock to her cause 湧向她的目標
45. a separate identity 一個單獨的、不同的身份
46. run counter to 違反；有悖常理，背道而馳
47. a decent economy 像樣的、相當不錯的經濟制度
48. deserve respect 值得尊重

in(not解時)跟un的區別
un用於字首字尾拆掉後還是一個字 ---by 莫力老師
ex.
unwonted un-wont(習慣)-ed
unabridge un-abridge
unroarious un-roar-ious
in則沒有
ex.
incapable in-cap-able
immaculate in-macul-ate
The negative prefix un- attaches chiefly to adjectives
(unable, unclean, unequal, unripe, unsafe) and
participles used as adjectives (unfeeling, unflinching, unfinished, unsaid),
andless frequently to nouns (unbelief, unconcern, unrest).
un-主要接形容詞，un+adj.
Sometimes the noun form of an adjective with the un- prefix has the prefix
in-, as in inability, inequality, injustice, and instability.
如果是un接名詞，通常在in也可以找到相對應的
例如inequality
A few stems appear with both prefixes with distinctions of meaning.
Inhuman means "brutal, monstrous," while
unhuman means "not of human form, superhuman." ·
有些字根接un-與in-意思不同
When used with adjectives, un- often has a sense distinct from that of
non-.
un-與non-是不一樣的
Non- picks out the set of things that are not in the category denoted by the
stem to which it is attached, whereas
non-是表示"不在"此範圍裡面
un- picks out properties unlike those of the typical examples of the
category.
un-則表示"不像"這範圍裡的典型
Thus nonmilitary personnel are those who are not members of the military,
whereas someone who is unmilitary is unlike a typical soldier in dress,
habits, or attitudes.
例如，nonmilitary是指不在軍中的人
而unmilitary指不向一般的軍人(在穿著上、習慣、態度)

※ 引述《suntree (太陽樹)》之銘言：
: 先感謝版友熱心回答
: 但是
: 奧林匹克蘇麗文精神告訴我不能這樣屈服
: (￣▽￣＃)﹏﹏
: 在我經歷許久沈思後
: 導出三條規則
: #規則一：
: 單字把他倒過來看
: 如果可以變成 ### in sth/sb
: 把in當成歸於、限制、或在內解
: 就通常是加強、在內的意思
: #規則二：
: 反之，則通常是否定的意思
: #規則三：
: 另外，否定的形成
: 最後後面那個字通常很完整、且常見字
: 一目了然
: 舉例來說
: in-congruity
: 後面的那個一致、協調就很完整
: 利用規則二、三
: 可以判斷是否定意涵
: in-cubate
: cub當睡眠很明顯不是常見字
: 利用規則三可判斷非否定
: in-criminate
: 利用規則二、三
: crime是常見字
: 這時候就要用規則一
: 罪可以歸入什麼人
: 所以可以判斷是在內、或加強之意
: 這三條規則我操作了不少單字
: 的確有他的可用性
: 可以解出95%吧
: GRE不就是機率遊戲嗎？
: 我想in是很多人共同的困擾
: 希望能夠和版友一起分享
: 因為常常受到版友許多幫助
: 感恩
: : 先挑個錯，"衝動的"應該是impulsive
: : 根據我手上的朗文字根字首辭典
: : in遇到開頭是m p b三個字開頭的單字組合時，會變成im
: : 另外遇到l開頭的單字變成il，例如說illegal：非法的
: : 遇到r開頭的單字組合時就變成ir，例如說：irritation：憤怒、刺激
: : 理論上來說，後面接具有積極意義的形容詞的時候，in當否定義用
: : 不過我自己是覺得還是多背，記住字義會比較保險一些
: : 拆字根字首主要是用來幫助記憶，讓你背誦會比較有效率不容易忘
: : 而不是拿來辨識沒看過的單字
: : 英文字如此眾多，造字方式也各有不同
: : 我不認為可以光靠拆字來一一解讀
: : 最明顯的例子，你所說的inborn，就不在我提到的朗文字典歸納範圍裡面
: : 舉in的例子來說好了
: : 它除了「不、非、無」的否定義之外，也有「引起」這個與前者幾乎相反的意涵在
: : 例如說：imperil：使處於危險
: : 光記字根，很容易辨識錯誤
: : 以上是我的心得 僅供各位參考

要是我也會按end...冏
