大航海時代的台灣

 【長難句破解示範】大航海時代的台灣 ●例句 The island of Taiwan, known to Portuguese sailors who passed along its coast in the 1540s and named by them Ilha Formosa, the "beautiful island", remained peripheral to European ambitions until 1624, when the Dutch East India Company, having been expelled from the Pescadores by Ming forces and seeking a base from which it could trade with both China and Japan, established a fortress at Tainan, which, together with the Spanish settlements in the north that were seized in 1642, enabled European merchants to export deerskins and sugar that indigenous hunters and Han migrants, whom the Company encouraged to cultivate the plains, produced for markets across East Asia, until Koxinga, a Ming loyalist driven out of the mainland by the Qing, expelled the Dutch in 1662. ●排列為比較容易閱讀的方式 The island of Taiwan, known to Portuguese sailors who passed along its coast in the 1540s and named by them Ilha Formosa, the "beautiful island", remained peripheral to Eur...

台灣國際地位未定論

 【長難句破解示範】台灣國際地位未定論 ●例句(120 words) Some scholars of international law who advance the theory of Taiwan's undetermined status, a doctrine rooted in the San Francisco Peace Treaty, by which Japan, having been defeated in 1945 and having occupied the island since 1895, renounced all right, title, and claim to it without designating a recipient, contend that, because neither the Cairo Declaration, a wartime communiqué lacking the binding force of a treaty, nor the Treaty of Taipei, which was concluded between Japan and the Republic of China in 1952 and which merely restated that renunciation, conferred sovereignty on any named state, the island's legal status remains formally unsettled, a conclusion that Beijing, insisting that Taiwan has belonged to China since ancient times, firmly and categorically rejects. ●排列為比較容易閱讀的方式 Some scholars of international law who advance the theory of Taiwan's undetermined status, a doctrine rooted in the San Francisco Peace Treaty, by which Jap...

旅行文學(遊記)的魅力 Why Travel Writing Is About Being Changed 環保文學的魅力 Why Environmental Writing Makes Loss Felt

題目一:旅行文學(遊記)的魅力 Why Travel Writing Is About Being Changed What separates memorable travel writing from a mere list of sights is the writer's willingness to be changed by the journey, so that a missed train, an unexpected kindness or an argument with a stranger becomes as revealing as any famous monument, the traveler, once confident of knowing what to look for, learning instead to see how much of the world resists being summed up, a lesson that, whether the destination is a remote village or a crowded capital, leaves readers questioning their own habits of looking at home.

寫實主義文學的魅力 Why Realism Made Ordinary Lives Matter 浪漫主義文學的魅力 Why Romanticism Put Feeling First

題目一:寫實主義文學的魅力 Why Realism Made Ordinary Lives Matter So determined were nineteenth-century realist novelists to show life as it was actually lived, with its unpaid bills, cramped lodgings and small compromises, that they turned from kings and heroes to clerks, farmers and seamstresses, treating their ordinary struggles with the seriousness once reserved for tragedy, an approach that, although critics sometimes accused it of dwelling on drabness, trained readers to look closely at the social conditions shaping every private choice they depicted, and that continues to inform modern novels, films and journalism in which what is left unsaid about money and class matters as much as what is said.

戰爭文學的魅力 Why War Literature Refuses to Look Away 武俠文學的魅力 Why Martial Arts Fiction Is More Than Swordplay

 題目一:戰爭文學的魅力 Why War Literature Refuses to Look Away The more faithfully war writers recorded what they had actually witnessed, from the mud and boredom of the trenches to the sudden, senseless deaths of close friends, the less their readers could go on believing the glorious stories that had once persuaded young men to enlist, with the result that books written by survivors, far from celebrating victory, came gradually to function as testimony whose power lies in its refusal to look away and which, however painful it may be to read, reminds us that behind every strategic map stand individuals, each with a name and a family, for whom the war was never an abstraction.

烏托邦文學的魅力 Why Utopias Still Matter 反烏托邦文學的魅力 Why Dystopias Unsettle Us

題目一:烏托邦文學的魅力 Why Utopias Still Matter Such is the pull of imagining a perfect society that the word utopia, which Thomas More coined from Greek roots that can mean both "no place" and "good place", has come to name a hope rather than a location, yet the pun suggests that More was less interested in promising paradise than in measuring how far our present arrangements fall short, which is perhaps why later writers, whether they sketched ideal islands, cooperative villages or cities of glass, have used the form to hold up a mirror in which readers can see what their own age refuses to repair, a function that survives even when the paradise on offer looks, to modern eyes, either dull or faintly sinister. 1. 結構破解 Such is the pull of imagining a perfect society that the word utopia, which Thomas More coined from Greek roots that can mean both "no place" and "good place", has come to name a hope rather than a location, yet the pun suggests that More wa...
