例句一(台積電的成長與成功)
原句
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which was founded in 1987 by Morris Chang, a veteran of Texas Instruments who persuaded the Taiwanese government and Philips to finance a firm that would manufacture chips designed by its customers rather than sell products of its own, grew from a modest Hsinchu foundry into the producer of most of the world's most advanced semiconductors, a dominance that its customers, including Apple, Nvidia, and Qualcomm, whose products depend on its ever-smaller process nodes, have reinforced with orders that fund the enormous capital spending required to stay ahead of rivals, and that governments, anxious about the concentration of such capability on one island, have sought to offset by subsidizing fabs in Arizona, Japan, and Germany.

例句二(台灣國際地位未定論的爭議)
原句
The question of Taiwan's international status, which arose when Japan, having ruled the island since 1895, renounced its claim in the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty without naming a recipient, remains contested because the People's Republic of China, which holds that Taiwan is part of China and which has held China's seat at the United Nations since 1971, insists that unification is a domestic matter, whereas the government in Taipei, arguing that the Republic of China is already a sovereign state and that the People's Republic has never governed the island, maintains that only Taiwan's people may decide its future, a stalemate that the United States, acknowledging but not endorsing Beijing's position, has managed through a policy of deliberate ambiguity.

三句的共同提醒
例句一的主詞 Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company 後面先接 which 子句,內含同位語 a veteran of Texas Instruments 與 who 子句,其中 that 子句又帶 rather than 片語,動詞 grew 要讀很久才出現。句尾 a dominance 是前面整個 grew 句的同位語,其 that 子句內有兩個以 and 並列的 have reinforced 與 have sought to offset,customers 與 have reinforced 之間還插了 including 與 whose 兩層修飾。
例句二的主詞 The question of Taiwan's international status 與動詞 remains 之間,隔著包含 when 子句與 having ruled 分詞片語的 which 子句。because 子句以 whereas 對比兩方,Taipei 之後插了 arguing 片語,內有兩個並列的 that 子句。句尾 a stalemate 是前面整個對立局面的同位語,其 that 子句中,United States 與 has managed 之間又插了 acknowledging but not endorsing 片語。
例句三的主詞 The Taiwan Affairs Office 之後有兩個以 and 並列的 which 子句,動詞 handles、publicizes、uses 以 and 並列,第三個動詞 uses 之前被 according to 片語切開,片語內還含 who 子句與不定詞片語。句尾 an interpretation 同樣是同位語,其 that 子句中,Beijing 與 rejects 之間插了 stressing 片語。
另外,這三個主題都涉及有爭議的政治與主權問題,句中對各方立場的陳述,我盡量採取描述性寫法(如 holds that、maintains that、according to Taiwan's government、Beijing rejects),不替任何一方下結論,以符合學術語氣。
