●文法解析
主句:Taiwan…was governed。受詞位置的關係代名詞 which 在子句內是 annexed 的受詞,所以 which 子句是「清廷併入的」,而不是主句。
having defeated:完成式分詞片語,插在 court 與 annexed 之間,表示更早發生的背景。
after hesitating over whether…:介係詞加動名詞,其後帶出 whether 名詞子句,是介係詞的受詞。
policies that restricted…but that failed…:兩個 that 關係子句用 but 對等連接,修飾同一個 policies。a measure intended… 是同位語,其中 intended 是過去分詞片語。
settlers, who crossed…and cleared land that…:非限定關係子句內有兩個對等動詞,cleared 的受詞 land 又被 that 子句修飾。
until foreign pressure…persuaded:until 副詞子句。pressure 之後插入 intensified by…and by… 兩個並列的被動分詞片語,其中第一個又帶 which 子句。persuaded…to upgrade 是受詞加不定詞。
an arrangement that lasted…before…:同位語加關係子句,後接 before 副詞子句。
●參考譯文
清廷於1683年擊敗鄭氏政權後,在猶豫該島是否值得保有之後,將台灣納為福建省的一個府。此後兩百年,台灣依據限制大陸移民的政策治理,這項措施原為防範叛亂,卻未能阻止移民非法渡海,開墾原住民社群長久使用的土地。直到1874年日本出兵(暴露該島的脆弱)與1884年法軍封鎖,使外來壓力加劇,才促使清廷在1885年將台灣升格為行省。這個安排僅維持不到十年,1895年《馬關條約》便將該島割讓給日本。
●補充說明
annex 指併入、納入版圖。
prefecture 在此指「府」,清代台灣初設一府三縣,隸屬福建省。
Japanese expedition of 1874 指牡丹社事件後日本出兵台灣,促使清廷改變消極治台態度。
French blockade of 1884 指清法戰爭中法軍封鎖並進攻台灣北部。
Treaty of Shimonoseki 即《馬關條約》,1895年簽訂。
