Taiwan’s Ma Joins the Shoe Club
「台灣馬加入丟鞋俱樂部」
http://blogs.wsj.com/chinarealtime/2012/12/10/taiwans-ma-joins-the-shoe-club/

敘述了台灣民眾對經濟成長緩慢、工資調幅停滯、高失業率的不滿、
對財團限制寬鬆。報導中還指出，馬英九政府最近還因為拒絕讓達賴喇嘛來台，
也成為批評者指控他過度傾中，「向中國叩頭」（kowtowing to China）的理由。


After nearly five years in office, Taiwan’s President Ma Ying-jeou on Monday
finally joined the ranks of an elite group of world leaders than includes
 former US President George W. Bush and outgoing Chinese Premier Wen Jia Bao.

經過近5年的努力，馬囧週一終於加入了這個尊爵不凡的菁英團體
，包括美國前總統小布希和中共前總理溫家寶等國際領袖都是成員之一

Whether Mr. Ma sees his inclusion in the league as brag-worthy is unclear.

不過倒是很難說馬囧是否值得拿這件事來吹噓他的國際評比有多棒

While delivering a speech at Taiwan Human Rights Jingmei Park, Mr. Ma was
heckled and jeered by a group of pro-Taiwan independence protesters who
 demanded his resignation, saying Taiwan’s human rights condition has
worsened under his watch.

馬囧在景美人權園區發表演講時，一群台獨吱吱嗆馬囧，主張馬的任內讓
台灣人權狀況惡化，要他辭職，。

Eventually, the protesters got riled up enough to attempt to hit Mr. Ma
with shoes — as well as a few bags and hats

最後，怒不可遏的吱吱朝馬囧丟鞋 - 還有背包和帽子

Mr. Bush famously dodged an airborne shoe during a news conference in Iraq
 in late 2008. A few months later, Mr. Wen experienced a similar
(if less accurate) assault while giving a speech at the University of
Cambridge.

在廣為人知的伊拉克2008年末新聞發布會上，小布希避開了一個空降神鞋。
而幾個月後，溫家寶在英國劍橋大學發表演講時也經歷了類似的的攻擊。

Neither had to dodge multiple items, however.

但他們得閃的投擲物可沒像馬囧那麼多

The protesters appeared to have been moved to throw the objects after
Mr. Ma repeatedly refused to acknowledge their angry chants, instead
plowing ahead with his speech as if he couldn’t hear them.
he presidential security detail immediately ran up the stage to protect
the president, who finished his talk behind the human wall. No arrests
were made.

馬囧懶得回應，他對嗆聲充耳不聞，埋首於他，馬的演講，
這群吱吱隨後被驅吱別怨，無法丟鞋。
特勤跑上護駕，在重重人牆下馬囧完成了他的演講。沒有吱吱被逮捕。

President Ma, who was reelected in January with 51% of the vote, has
watched his approval rating plummet to the 13% in less than a year (pdf).
 Heated demonstrations against the president are becoming a frequent sight
 in Taipei as public discontent climbs while the economy continues to
nosedive.

馬囧在1月以51％的得票率連任，他的支持率在不到一年直線下降到了13％。
當公眾的不滿隨著經濟的持續暴挫而攀升，
在台北激烈的示威嗆馬活動正成為一種常見的景象。

Those who are dissatisfied with the president blame the government for
 Taiwan’s snail-paced economic growth. According to the island’s official
 statistics agency, the island’s full year gross domestic product is
tipped to rise 1.13% year-on-year, down from 4.07% in 2011 and 10.79% i
n 2010.

民眾賭爛馬囧政府讓台灣的經濟增長牛步化。據官方統計機構，
2012全年GDP預估1.13％，比2011年的4.07％和2010年的10.79％更慘。

Taiwan’s unemployment rate still remains above 4% and wages have been
stagnant for a decade. Despite his promise that signing a trade pact
with China would jump start Taiwan’s exports, data shows Taiwan’s
exports is expected to fall 2.16% from a year earlier.

台灣的失業率仍然保持在4％以上，工資都已經停滯了十年。
儘管馬囧保證和中國簽署欸擱發會讓台灣逆轟高灰，但是數據顯示
台灣的出口比去年同期下跌2.16％。

Those who support Ma lay blame the dour global economy for Taiwan’s
anemic growth and note that the government has meted out a variety of
measures to revive market,
such offering tax breaks to Taiwanese companies that move their
operations back to the island from mainland China, relaxing cross-Strait
banking ties, and raising the cap on foreign manual workers to solve
Taiwan’s labor shortage
六八九把責任歸咎於國際大環境中，為馬囧護航說她已盡力了
馬囧已提供各種措施，恢復改善市場，
像是減免稅金，鮭魚返鄉，放寬兩岸銀行業限制，
提高外勞上限等合法圖利廠商措施

The government’s recent refusal to grant a visa for to Dalai Lama has
given Ma bashers yet another reason to accuse him of kowtowing to China.

更有人指責馬囧最近拒絕向達賴喇嘛發放簽證，是向中國叩頭。

Like many of the current world leaders, Mr. Ma has been dealt a bad hand,
 such as two major worldwide economic crises and a deadly typhoon during
 his terms. But unless he can quickly offer new and sound measures to
boost the economy and quell people’s concerns of Taiwan’s over-reliance
 on China, the president may end up playing dodge ball with the protesters
 more times than he would like in the next three years.

像許多當前的世界各國領導人，馬囧拿了一手爛牌，
像是他的任內碰到的比遺毒8年更大的國際不景氣和天災，

但除非他能快速提供新的和完善的措施，以刺激經濟，
並改變台灣過度依賴中國的疑慮，

否則在未來三年，馬囧恐怕有大半時間得和示威者玩躲避球。

2006/10/12  陳水扁總統在國慶典禮上遭藍軍立委嗆，引發綠營反彈，國民黨主席馬英九
不以為然表示，在元首面前嗆聲其實不稀奇，在民主社會不算特別，也不要視為沒面子。
2012/12/10  馬英九參加世界人權日活動，卻被白色恐怖受難者家屬嗆聲，馬終於忍不住
怒嗆：「希望大家都能秉持包容和相互尊重的態度，這個才是我們台灣人權，向後發展的
重要觀念，這個觀念不能建立，我們沒有辦法真正落實人權。」
