被檢驗的考官
反抗的學生及其支持者，把政府拉回教科書
[0;37mIN TAIWAN as elsewhere in East Asia fights over history are really all about laying claim to the future. After weeks of protests in Taipei, the capital, hundreds of high-school students and supporters stormed the education ministry on July 31st and staged a sit-in. Their anger was motivated by the China-friendly government’s changes to the country’s school curriculum and history textbooks. They claim the changes are designed to indoctrinate young Taiwanese to support unification with China.[0;37m
[0;37m台灣就像其他中東國家一樣[0;37m，認為歷史的鬥爭將影響未來的話語權。
在[0;33m首都[0;37m台北的幾週抗爭後，數百名高中生跟群眾在7/31衝入教育部，並進行靜坐。
當前親中政府對課綱及歷史課本的變革激起了這些怒火。
他們宣稱這些變革都是為了灌輸台灣學子支持與中國統一的想法。
[0;37mEventual unification is something Ma Ying-jeou, now in his final year as president, is assumed to espouse. The Kuomintang (KMT) which he leads fled to Taiwan from China in 1949 after losing the civil war there to the Communists. When Chiang Kai-shek was Taiwan’s dictator, history textbooks insisted that the island was part of China. Taiwan later embraced democracy and once-suppressed notions of a specifically Taiwanese identity flourished. Textbooks adapted. Mr Ma now wants textbooks to reflect
his party’s roots more.[0;37m
目前總統馬英九被認為是終極統一的擁護者。他所領導的國民黨在1949年國共內戰戰備[0;33m逃逸[0;37m至[0;30m台灣的政黨。
當蔣開穴作為台灣的獨裁者，歷史課本卻堅持這個島是中國的一部分。
台灣接著擁抱了民主，也讓一度受到壓迫的台灣人認同興盛了起來。
歷史課本改編了。馬囧現在希望歷史課本能多反映他們黨的根。
[0;37mAbove all, the new guidelines recast Japan’s colonial rule from 1895-1945. Unlike many who came to Taiwan with the KMT, Taiwanese with deeper roots on the island often emphasise the Japanese contribution to Taiwan’s modernisation. And even when they acknowledge Japanese colonial cruelty, the violence of Chiang’s regime after Japan’s surrender often overshadows it. The new guidelines insist that what was known as “Japanese rule” be referred to as “Japanese colonial rule”; Taiwanese women
forced to serve in military brothels should be properly acknowledged. That is only right. But what sticks in the craw of native Taiwanese, given the brutality of Chiang’s dictatorship, is that the KMT’s occupation of Taiwan should be described as a “glorious retrocession”.[0;37m
除此之外，新的課綱也重述了日本的殖民統治。
除了對國民黨一起逃到台灣的人來說，台灣人對日本治台所帶來的現代化更有fu。
甚至當他們了解日本殖民統治的殘酷，大家還是認為蔣開穴的統治卻在殘忍暴力上更略勝日本一籌。
新課綱堅持日治必須改為日據。台灣的女性都是被強迫去當慰安婦的。只有這點這卻。
但讓台灣人無法接受的是，ＫＭＴ佔據台灣以及蔣政權的獨裁，被形容是光復台灣。
[0;37mOn August 3rd a confrontation took place between emotional student representatives and the education minister, Wu Se-hwa. He refused to bow to the students’ demands to retract the guidelines and resign. But he did offer a concession in emphasising that high schools could have the freedom to choose textbooks that adhered to either the old guidelines or the new ones. Officials added that the most-contested aspects of the new guidelines would not form part of Taiwan’s national examinations. And Mr
Wu promised more transparency in drawing up guidelines in future. On August 4th Taiwan’s parliament also ordered a review of the high-school history curriculum. This has not been enough for the students, who say they will not end their protest until the new guidelines are suspended or revoked.[0;37m
八月三日，一場正面交鋒在情緒激動的學生與教育部長吳濕滑之間展開了。
吳濕滑拒絕向學生抽回課綱的要求屈服。
但她卻做了讓步，強調高中可以自由選擇新舊版[0;33m教科書[0;37m。
官員表示新課綱中有爭議的部分不會出現在國家考試中。
吳先生也承諾未來在編撰課綱時會有更高的透明度。
八月四號，台灣國會也命令檢討高中歷史課綱。
這對學生還不夠，學生表示他們不會停止抗爭，直到新課綱被暫緩或撤銷。
