台灣連續 31 天無本土案例
所有前線人士辛苦了!
#作息破壞者 做的最棒的大概就是宅,寫分析文章
來看部長投書〈外交家雜誌〉的英文書寫
標題簡明扼要
Global Health Security: A Call for Taiwan’s Inclusion
應納台灣加入全球衛生安全行列
副標應該是編輯下的
Taiwan’s minister of health makes the case for the country’s inclusion in the WHO.
台灣衛福部長請願加入世衛
make the case for 為某事請願
文章脈絡完整,全文較長,讀到中間會發現很多我們也不知道的政府努力,讀到最後覺得實在鏗鏘有力!大家多點耐心 #順時中
開頭從過去數十年的全球疫情談到當今疫情,一句作結:Taiwan has not been spared. 台灣未能倖免,代表台灣同樣受疫情嚴重衝擊,同理心訴求歐美讀者繼續閱讀
以下選幾個特別的句子跟大家分享
In the 17 years since it was hit hard by the SARS outbreak, Taiwan has been in a state of constant readiness regarding the threat of emerging infectious disease.
SARS重擊以來的十七年,台灣隨時處在預備狀態,以面對伺機竄起的疾病感染威脅
constant readiness 持續的預備狀態
短短兩個字,讓人想到好多醫護總是待命的辛苦!
接著描述全民一心的嚴密檢疫,到後來海軍敦睦艦的狀況,以及平息,小結:This has shown that Taiwan’s aggressive efforts to control the epidemic are working.
台灣的積極防疫起了功效
aggressive 積極的
epidemic 流行病
漂亮的句子:
Disease knows no borders.
疾病不分國界
記得主詞是第三人稱單數所以動詞要加 s
接下來談到我們比較熟悉的國內防疫措施我先跳過
有興趣到留言區看全文英文表達
再來個巧妙的句子:
A crisis anywhere readily becomes a problem everywhere.
任何一地爆發危機,即成全球危機
一句話之內,用 readily become (立即變成)連結,從 anywhere 變成 everywhere
再來就是呼籲全球公衛缺一不可,讓台灣加入 WHO
---
然後就是讓我很驚艷和學習的地方,原來政府做了這麼多
1. 遵照 IHR 2005 國際衛生條例,向 WHO 回報確診數
Taiwan has fulfilled its responsibilities as a global citizen and abided by the International Health Regulations 2005 (IHR 2005) in notifying the WHO of confirmed COVID-19 cases.
fulfill responsibilities 負起責任,好用的搭配詞
abide by 遵循
notify 告知
2. 聯絡了超多國家的疾管單位(CDC)共享情報
Moreover, Taiwan has communicated with other countries such as Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, the United States, Canada, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and the Netherlands, as well as the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, to share information on confirmed cases, travel and contact histories of patients, and border control measures.
border control 邊境管制
measures 措施
3. 上傳病毒基因序列到 GISAID 全球共享流感數據倡議組織
Taiwan has uploaded the genetic sequence of COVID-19 to the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID).
genetic 基因的
sequence 序列
---
最後是溫情呼籲,要好好照顧公衛,不該因政治考量,拒台灣於門外
If it is indeed the WHO’s mission to ensure the highest attainable standard of health for every human being, then the WHO needs Taiwan just as Taiwan needs the WHO. Yet Taiwan has long been excluded from the WHO due to political considerations.
如果 WHO 的宗旨真的是要確保全人類健康,那麼 WHO 跟台灣是互相需要彼此。然而台灣卻長期因政治考量被排拒於外
ensure 確保
exclude from 排擠
considerations 考量
Taiwan will continue to work with the rest of the world to ensure that all enjoy the fundamental human right to health as stipulated in the WHO Constitution. Echoing the mantra of the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, no one should be left behind.
台灣會持續協力確保全人類享有健康基本人權,如同 WHO 組織法所述。呼應聯合國 2030 永續發展目標的口號,沒人該落單
all 全人類
fundamental 基本的
right to 對於某事的權利
stipulate 規定
echo 呼應
mantra 口號
---
謝謝部長理性與感性兼具的投書!
希望全球疫情早日平息,也接納台灣為國際社會一員

The threat of emerging infectious diseases to global health and the economy, trade, and tourism has never abated. Pandemics can spread rapidly around the world because of the ease of international transportation. Among the most salient examples are the Spanish flu of 1918, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak of 2003, and the H1N1 influenza of 2009. Intermittently, serious regional epidemics, such as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2012, Ebola in West Africa in 2014, and the Zika virus in Central and South America in 2016, have also reared their heads.
1. the threat of ⋯⋯的威脅
2. emerging infectious disease 新興傳染病
3. abate (v.) 減少;消除
4. salient examples 顯著的例子
5. regional epidemics 地區流行疫情;地區性流行病
6. rear their heads(令人不悅之事)發生;出現
新興傳染病對全球人類健康及經貿旅遊的威脅從未間斷過,舉凡1918年西班牙流感、2003年嚴重急性呼吸道症候群(SARS)、2009年H1N1新型流感等爆發的全球大流行,抑或2012年中東呼吸症候群冠狀病毒感染症(MERS)、2014年西非伊波拉出血熱、2016年中南美洲茲卡病毒感染症等導致的區域大流行,皆因國際航空運輸而加速散播到全球各地,造成全球衛生安全不可避免的傷害。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Today, a novel form of pneumonia that first emerged in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019 and has since been classified as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a global pandemic. As of April 20, 2020, World Health Organization data showed that 2.24 million people had been confirmed as having the disease, with 152,551 deaths in 211 countries/areas/territories. Taiwan has not been spared.
7. a novel form of ⋯⋯的新種類
8. be classified as 被分類為⋯⋯
9. a global pandemic 全球大流行
10. be confirmed as 被確認為⋯⋯
11. be spared 不被傷害;被赦免
更有甚者,2019年底從中國武漢傳出的不明原因肺炎,現已在全球各地爆發大流行,截至WHO在2020年4月8日的統計數據,全球已有1,353,361名確診病例、79,235名死亡,影響範圍擴及211個國家/區域/地區,臺灣亦無從倖免。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
As of April 20, Taiwan had tested a total of 55,476 persons showing 422 confirmed cases of COVID-19, of which 55 were indigenous, 343 imported, and 24 are Navy members currently serving in the fleet. Taiwan has reported just six deaths; 203 people have been released from the hospital after testing negative. Despite its proximity to China, Taiwan ranked 123rd among 183 countries in terms of confirmed cases per million people. This has shown that Taiwan’s aggressive efforts to control the epidemic are working.
12. as of 截至⋯⋯
13. confirmed cases 確診病例
14. indigenous 本土的
15. proximity to 鄰近
16. in terms of 就⋯⋯而言
17. aggressive efforts 積極的努力
截至4月20日止,我國已累計檢驗55,476例,共發現422起確診病例,其中本土55例、境外移入343例以及敦睦遠訓支隊24例。我國目前6例死亡;經三次採檢均為陰性的出院者203例。我國在地理位置上雖鄰近中國,然每百萬人口確診數在國際間排名約第123名,顯示臺灣防疫工作成效顯著。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
A crisis anywhere readily becomes a problem everywhere. Global health security requires the efforts of every person to ensure an optimal response to public health threats and challenges. Taiwan, though not a member of WHO, cannot stand alone and must be included in the fight against such threats and challenges. Taiwan has fulfilled its responsibilities as a global citizen and abided by the International Health Regulations 2005 (IHR 2005) in notifying the WHO of confirmed COVID-19 cases.
18. global health security 全球衛生安全
19. ensure an optimal response 確保最佳應變措施

21. fulfill its responsibilities 履行職責
22. abide by 遵守;信守(協議、決定或規章)
23. notify sb. of sth. 將某事通報某人
疾病無國界,星星之火足以燎原,地方疫情控制不好即可能造成全球大流行。因此,維護全球衛生安全亟需全體人類共同努力,確保最佳量能因應公共衛生威脅與挑戰。我國雖非WHO會員,但無法獨善其身、置身於全球衛生安全之外,故秉持世界公民之責,恪守國際衛生條例2005(IHR 2005)規範,主動向WHO通報確診病例,
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Moreover, Taiwan has communicated with other countries such as Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, the United States, Canada, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and the Netherlands, as well as the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, to share information on confirmed cases, travel and contact histories of patients, and border control measures. Taiwan has uploaded the genetic sequence of COVID-19 to the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID). Taiwan has worked with global partners to respond to the threat of COVID-19 to ensure that global health is not imperiled by a lack of communication and transparency.
24. communicate with 與⋯⋯交流(資訊、思想或感情等)
25. share information on 分享⋯⋯的資訊

27. border control measures 邊境管制措施
28. genetic sequence 基因序列

We urge the WHO and related parties to acknowledge Taiwan’s longstanding contributions to the international community in the areas of public health, disease prevention, and the human right to health, and to include Taiwan in WHO and its meetings, mechanisms, and activities. Taiwan will continue to work with the rest of the world to ensure that all enjoy the fundamental human right to health as stipulated in the WHO Constitution.

european center of sustainable development 在 說說能源 Talk That Energy Facebook 的最讚貼文
【歐盟回我信了】
#究竟他們能源政策有無核能 #信中說有
雖然防疫期間大家已經不太關心能源議題發生甚麼事,但猶豫一下後,還是現在把訊息放上來。關於前陣子歐盟能源政策與台灣事實查核中心的爭議一事,我在事實查核中心對我提出的資料文件不採信也不修改文字後,我們一群小朋友將他們查核報告中的結論翻作英文,寫信去歐盟請求協助。
而稍早,過了大約一個月,他們也回覆我了,雖然簡短且附上的訊息都是我看過且呈現給大家過的文件,但我想應該已經足夠。也感謝這些辦事人員在歐洲疫情嚴峻之餘仍願意回覆我的信件,希望一切安好。

▊這是我寄的信
Dear Sir/Madam,
A deep appreciation to you taking time off to read this e-mail.
We are a group of youths from Taiwan who are deeply concerned about the energy development of our nation, as part of a collective effort to mitigate climate change.
We hereby write to you to seek clarifications on some factual accounts of recent events in the EU.
In a recent report published by Taiwan Factcheck Center (TFC), it has indicated the following:
1. The “European Green Deal for the European Union (EU) has excluded the financing of nuclear energy from the Just Transition Fund set forth”, and
2. That “nuclear energy would be ineligible for – or have little chance in being part of – future plans on sustainable development”.
3. The fact-check report then went on to conclude that “the EU will not change its goal in the phase-out of nuclear energy, but each member state is left to assess and decide on its own timeline, on the grounds of laying out a clean, sustainable and affordable energy policy as stipulated by the EU Green Deal”.
We seek your assistance in verifying the accuracy and truthfulness of the aforementioned details, please.
We understand that the EU has always been at the forefront of energy industry for its visions, goals and cutting-edge technologies, which have made EU the role model for policy makers, professionals and enthusiastic youths around the world.
These include the excellence in development of the renewable energy market and technologies, as well as making significant contributions to carbon reduction by maintaining a strong presence of nuclear energy in its energy mix.
Last but not least, if at all possible, we are also interested in receiving relevant official news reports or official documents from you on the above matter, as these would be invaluable resources for us.
Once again, many thanks and deep appreciation for your time.
Yours Faithfully
