●文法解析

主句:Taiwan…remained authoritarian。which 在子句中是 placed 的受詞,所以 which 子句是「國民黨將其置於戒嚴之下」,不是主句。remained 後接形容詞補語。

having retreated…after losing…:完成式分詞片語表示更早的背景;after 後接動名詞 losing。

during which the regime…:介係詞加關係代名詞,which 指 thirty-eight years。子句內有三個對等動詞 banned, tried, imprisoned。

justifying…by claiming…:現在分詞片語,其中介係詞 by 後接動名詞 claiming,再接不定詞 to represent。

a campaign known as…:known 是過去分詞片語,代替被動式關係子句。

until pressure…persuaded:until 副詞子句,主詞 pressure 之後有兩個並列的 from 片語(from an opposition…and from a middle class…),動詞 persuaded 要等到很後面才出現。

an opposition that founded…:限定關係子句。a middle class enriched by… 是過去分詞片語。

persuaded A to V:受詞加不定詞。Chiang Ching-kuo 後接同位語。

a decision that opened…the reforms that culminated…:同位語加兩層關係子句。

●參考譯文

國民黨在內戰敗給共產黨、撤退離開大陸之後,於1949年將台灣置於戒嚴之下。台灣因此威權了三十八年。在此期間,政權以代表全中國為由證成其統治權威,禁止組織新政黨與創辦新報紙,在軍事法庭審判平民,並在被稱為「白色恐怖」的整肅行動中囚禁數以千計的疑似異議者。直到1986年成立民主進步黨的反對勢力,以及因出口導向工業化而富裕的中產階級施加壓力,才說服蔣經國(蔣介石之子)解除戒嚴。這個決定為民主改革開路,改革最終促成1996年首次總統直接選舉。

●補充說明

martial law 指戒嚴令。台灣戒嚴自1949年起至1987年7月15日解除,是當時全球延續最久的戒嚴之一。

White Terror 指白色恐怖,泛指國民黨政權對疑似異議者與共產黨嫌疑者的政治迫害,高峰在1950年代。1947年的二二八事件發生在戒嚴之前,常被視為這段歷史的前奏。

suspected dissidents 的 suspected 很重要,許多受害者是被懷疑而非有實際行動,其中不少後來被認定為冤案。

export-led industrialization 指出口導向工業化,是1960年代以後台灣經濟起飛的主要模式。

蔣經國解嚴的原因,學界有不同論述:反對運動壓力、中產階級興起、國際環境與蔣經國個人判斷各占多重。句中以 pressure 為主詞,只呈現其中一種常見解釋,學術寫作應避免單因論。
