"We don't have a need to declare ourselves an independent state," the 63-year-old president told the BBC in an exclusive interview, her first since the election. "We are an independent country already and we call ourselves the Republic of China, Taiwan."
13. declare 宣布
14. an independent state 一個獨立的國家；政府

Such statements infuriate Beijing, which wants a return to the "One China" principle favoured by the main rival she saw off in the race for president, Han Kuo-yu from the Kuomintang party. His party traces its roots to the defeated nationalists in the Chinese civil war, who fled to Taiwan and continued to see the island as part of a greater China from which they had been usurped.

In recent years, that concept of One China has proved a useful compromise, Taiwanese supporters of it argue. China insists on its acceptance as a prerequisite for building economic ties with Taiwan, precisely because doing so is an explicit denial of its existence as a de facto island state.
24. a useful compromise 有用的協定, 妥協
25. insist on 堅持
26. a prerequisite for... ...的先決條件
27. build economic ties 建立經濟聯繫
28. a explicit denial 明確否認
29. de facto 事實上
★★★★★★★★★★★★
But it is clear that Ms Tsai* believes her victory is proof of how little appetite there now is for the One China concept and the ambiguity it allowed over Taiwan's real status. "The situation has changed," she says. "The ambiguity can no longer serve the purposes it was intended to serve." And what has really changed, she suggests, is China.
-\-\BBC
30. it is clear that… ...是清楚的
31. proof of… …的證明
32. how little appetite there is for... 對...沒有多少胃口; 對...不接受

34. ambiguity 模棱兩可
35. real status 真實狀態
36. intend to serve… 所欲實現的（成效）
*President Tsai
★★★★★★★★★★★★
"Because [for more than] three years we're seeing China has been intensifying its threat... they have their military vessels and aircraft cruising around the island," she says. "And also, the things happening in Hong Kong, people get a real sense that this threat is real and it's getting more and more serious."
37. intensify its threat 加劇威脅
38. military vessels and aircrafts 軍艦和飛機
39. get more serious 變得更嚴重
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Taiwan's interests, she believes, are not best served by semantics but by facing up to the reality, in particular the aspirations of the Taiwanese youth who flocked to her cause. "We have a separate identity and we're a country of our own. So, if there's anything that runs counter to this idea, they will stand up and say that's not acceptable to us. "We're a successful democracy, we have a pretty decent economy, we deserve respect from China."
40. Taiwan’s interests are not best served by semantics. 文字遊戲並非最佳實現台灣利益（的方式）
41. semantics 語義學; 文字遊戲
42. face up to reality 面對現實
43. the aspirations of the Taiwanese youth 台灣青年的志向
44. flock to her cause 湧向她的目標
45. a separate identity 一個單獨的、不同的身份
46. run counter to 違反；有悖常理，背道而馳
47. a decent economy 像樣的、相當不錯的經濟制度
48. deserve respect 值得尊重

semantics中文 在 Re: semantics? 語意學- 精華區Eng-Class - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
※ 引述《singingbee (雞雞蟹)》之銘言：
: 因為下學期有可能會開這堂課
: 所以想請問各位
: 語意學是在學什麼東西呢?
: 會不會很抽象?
: 會牽涉到很多範圍嗎?(比如說句法學 語音學等等)
: 謝謝!!
不才剛好是語言所的 在此獻醜一下
semantics大致分為兩大部分:1.lexical semantics 2.sentential semantics
(pramatics可算入semantics也可不算 這就看貴校選用哪本書了)
lexical semantics大致上在講synonyms,antonyms,homonyms,nonophones,hyponyms等等
談"word"和"word"之間形音意的關係 並會講到一個"word"的語意其實是可以做"分解"的
例如: woman這個字的語意是由 [+human; +female] 所組成的
sentential semantics大致在講同一個句子可能會因為不同的syntactic structure
而有不同的解讀 例如: "I saw a boy with a telescope." 可解釋成"我用望遠鏡
看到一個男孩" 或 "我看到一個帶望遠鏡的男孩"
此外 還會提到thematic roles,entailment,presupposition等概念
總之 個人覺得語意學很好玩, 跟syntax很有關係(例如必須要懂c-commend的觀念)
跟語音學關係倒是不大 就降啦
