    What unprecedented protest means for Taiwan

前所未見的 318 學潮對臺灣的歷史意義為何？

    By Cindy Sui
    BBC News, Taipei

    The unprecedented student occupation of Taiwan's parliament this
    month, to oppose the government's attempt to pass a controversial
    trade agreement with China, is not just a one-off protest.

抗議（黑箱）服貿、史上頭一遭佔據臺灣立法院的 318 學運，對臺灣的人民
來說，這絕對不是一時興起的一股力量。

    It is part of a wave of citizen campaigns that have shaken
    Taiwanese society. At their core are young people disillusioned by
     both the ruling and opposition parties.

在臺灣人民對於藍、綠政黨希望幻滅後決定自己站出來，這是臺灣社會裡面
「公民覺醒」的其中一波活動。

    In recent years there have been several similar campaigns, albeit
    less dramatic.

近幾年來已有類似的數波抗議活動，雖然跟這次的比起來，其他的活動實在
是太平和了。

    These include one that successfully pressured the government to
    turn down construction of a petrochemical plant, a 100,000-strong
    protest over the death of a conscript mistreated in boot camp, and
     continuing opposition to the construction of a fourth nuclear
    power plant.

這些包括了國光石化開發案、（凱道萬人送仲丘）洪仲丘案、以及持續延後核四
廠的運轉期程。

    The movements are spread largely by grassroots groups and social
    media. The participants tend to be ordinary people who want their
    voices heard, and want to protect Taiwan's future.





    - The immediate trigger was a trade deal that will allow Beijing and
    Taipei to invest more freely in each other's services markets

- 一開始的原因是這個貿易協定會使中國與台灣能更自由地互相投資在雙方
的服務業市場中。

    - Protesters say the deal will hurt Taiwan's economy and leave it
    vulnerable to pressure from Beijing, but Taipei says it will
    benefit Taiwan's economy

- 抗議者表示臺灣的經濟將會受到戕害，並過度倚賴於中國的臉色。臺灣政
府表示如果要讓經濟逆轟高灰，我們一定要簽下服貿。

    - The trade deal was signed last June but it has not yet been
    ratified by MPs

- 這個貿易協議在去年六月就簽了，但是到現在為止立法院都還沒通過。
按：MP: Member of Parliament

    - Protests began early last week after ruling party MPs said a joint
    committee had completed a review of the deal

- 在上週執政黨所屬的張慶忠立委不按遊戲規則，以三十秒的時間將服貿快
速通過初審的情況下踩到了許多人的底線，因而爆發大規模的抗議活動。

    - Students first broke into the Taiwanese legislature last Tuesday
    and have since defied police efforts to evict them

- 學生們在上星期二闖入立法院並成功阻擋了警察三度的清場行動。

    - Police clashed with more student protesters who occupied
    government headquarters on Monday.

- 在星期一警方與在行政院的學生們爆發嚴重的衝突。

    - Almost 60 people were arrested and more than 100 were hurt.

- 約有六十人被逮捕、至少一百人受傷。



    Accounting student Charlies Liu, who skipped class and drove up to
    Taipei from Taichung city to join the student protest, echoed the
    views of many.

我們訪問了劉查理先生，他表示他只是其中一個千里迢迢蹺課跑到臺北加入
抗議（靜坐）行列的人。

    "I'm against the government carrying out behind-the-doors
    negotiations with China," Mr Liu said.

「我反對政府黑箱通過跟中國簽訂的服貿協議！」

    "You can't just force the agreements through. They involve the
    people. They will affect our generation. I'm worried many things
    are decided by the government, not the people."



    Although the students are too young to have lived through the
    White Terror period of martial law, political suppression and lack
     of press and other freedoms, they are aware that Taiwan's
    democracy was hard won and that people power helped bring about
    legislative elections in the 1980s and the first presidential
    election in the 1990s.


    Along with posting pictures ridiculing President Ma Ying-jeou, the
     students have put on the wall of the parliament chamber pictures
    of the previous generation of Taiwan's democracy activists.

除了嘲笑馬英九的海報外，他們也將前一代民主先驅的肖像掛在議場的牆上。

    They believe it is now up to them to protect Taiwan's democracy.

他們相信現在該是由他們來守護台灣的民主了。

    "In the past, our young people are not active in politics because
    their parents told them to just quietly go about your studies,
    because the parents lived through the 228 Incident [a 1947
    massacre and political suppression]," said Shane Lee, a political
    science professor at Chang Jung Christian University.

「在過去，年輕一代對政治冷感通常是因為經歷過 228 事件的大人們叫小孩子
乖乖讀書不要碰政治。」任教於長榮大學的李憲榮教授這樣表示。

    "But now the students, through their education or through the free
    flow of information, tell their parents that 'because you were so
    afraid of politics, that's why you have suffered what you have
    suffered. Because we know what's going on, we take matters into
    our own hands.' "



按：Take matters into your own hands: http://tinyurl.com/p53hx28
  ->to deal with a problem yourself because the people who should have
    dealt with it have failed to do so

    Over the nearly two-week protest, the students are no longer just
    asking for the government to cancel the agreement and do a
    thorough review.

在近乎兩個星期的抗議中，學生們不再只是要求政府退回服貿並重新檢視。

    They are insisting the two parties work constructively together to
     pass a law to supervise all future negotiations with Beijing and
    not sign any more agreements until such a law is passed.

他們堅持國、民兩黨必須合作通過「兩岸協議監督條例」，並且在條例通過之
前不能簽訂任何協議。

按：學生們要求的是在「兩岸協議監督條例」立法前不得對服貿進行審查。

    The question is whether the political power-holders will heed the
    students' calls. Analysts say both parties risk alienating young
    people if they do not.

問題是執政者是否會傾聽學生們的訴求。鍵盤政治分析師表示，若不回應年輕
人的訴求的話，兩黨都將很難獲得年輕世代的青睞。

    "The students form a big chunk of the electorate. The parties have
     to open their minds to the young people. They will have to really
     seriously deal with this situation," Prof Lee said.

李教授表示：「你幾乎可以把學生們換算成很多張的選票。這些政黨們必須敞
開心胸聆聽年輕人的聲音，他們也要很嚴肅地看待這個局面。」


閃亮亮的典範

    Mr Ma - who has long touted Taiwan's democracy as a shining
    example in Asia - has said a supervision mechanism already exists,
    as many of the agreements signed with China need to be ratified
    by parliament.

常常宣稱臺灣民主是亞洲中耀眼典範的馬總統表示：兩岸簽訂的協議早就有監
督機制，像是立法院需審議我方與中國簽定的協議。

    But the ruling Kuomintang party controls a majority of the
    legislative seats and the president controls the ruling party. The
    students and others in Taiwan are uncomfortable with this set-up.

但話說回來國民黨又是立院最大黨，而馬總統又是國民黨的黨主席。學生們跟
臺灣人總對這樣球員兼裁判的機制感到毛毛的。

按：http://udn.com/NEWS/BREAKINGNEWS/BREAKINGNEWS1/8565873.shtml


    The opposition Democratic Progressive Party finds itself
    sidelined. It has been criticised for unhelpful tactics -
    criticising without taking constructive action and seizing the
    podium, which have led to Taiwan's infamous parliament scuffles.



    The students, meanwhile, seem organised and determined.

（與兩黨相對比）這些學生顯得更有組織與決心。

    In a statement, they said: "We will not waver. Against an
    undemocratic and autocratic government, we stand strong and we
    stand united."

在一項聲明中，他們表示：「我們絕不動搖。在一個不民主且獨裁的政權面前，
我們堅定且團結一心。」

    It is safe to assume that Beijing, which still claims the island
    as a province to be reunified one day, is watching nervously.

無庸置疑地，每天都想要把臺灣收入「祖國」懷抱的中國正膽顫心驚地監看著這
次學運的發展。

    If the students succeed, it could mean a further democratisation
    of Taiwan, with additional safeguards to let the people, not any
    political party, decide the fate of the island.

如果這些學生最後成功了，這意味著臺灣的民主化將向前邁進一大步。有著這些
公民的守護，臺灣的未來不會再任意地被任何政客或政黨操控。
