<< review queue entry 66906 - submitted by 'goldyn_chyld' >> K seems to be used mostly in relation to Taiwan (and sometimes HK i guess), but below is one example where it's not used as such (tho it seems very rare usage in that way) TP~ 而曾經是台灣囊中物的玩具、滑鼠、監視器等產業，儘 管已外移到不同國家生產，但在全球生產基地背後運籌帷幄的，還是台灣老闆。今年八月，台灣外匯存底重回千億美元高峰，亞洲金融風暴、中共文攻武嚇都不能撼動台灣。 and while production of many items that Taiwan used to monopolize, such as toys, mouses and monitors has largely moved off-shore to factories around the world, it is still Taiwanese companies on whose behalf these products are manufactured. In August of this year Taiwan's foreign exchange reserves once again reached US$100 billion, and neither the Asian financial crisis nor mainland China's aggressive posturing has seriously rattled the island. 呂副總統說，過去五十年來，台灣曾歷經獨裁、專制、貧窮和封建，也不斷遭受北京當局的文攻武嚇，在如此艱困環境下，能夠維護台海安全及台灣安定，並持續經濟及民主政治的發展，實屬難能可貴。 Vice President Lu also said that in the past five decades Taiwan has experienced dictatorship, poverty and backwardness and has incessantly been verbally disparaged and militarily intimidated by the Beijing government. Under these circumstances, the preservation of security and stability and the development of Taiwan's economy and democracy is an extraordinary achievement. 林洋港答：中共現在對台灣地區的疑慮和各種打壓、文攻武嚇，主要是害怕我們走分離主義和台獨的路線，所以我一向主張不急統，也不可獨。只要我們不分離整個中華民族的基本立場能使中共確信，一切就比較好談。 Lin Yang-kang: The Chinese Communists' current anxiety about the Taiwan area, and the various forms of pressure, media attacks and military intimidation they have exerted, principally stem from their fear that we will follow the path of separatism or independence. I have always believed we should not be in a hurry to unite, but we must not go independent. As long as the mainland believes our fundamental stance, that we are not going to divide the Chinese people, it will be far easier to communicate with them. ======================= 健康管理室推動減重，雖然不能強制每個人參加，但文攻武嚇的宣導，無孔不入。像以e-mail提供各種減重資訊的「健康報馬仔」；不定期舉辦鐵馬、登山、健走等戶外活動；在廠內開辦yoga韻律教室；還發放健康動動小卡，提醒大家不要久坐，不時起來動一動。 While the company couldn’t force its staff to get on the weight-loss train, it employed an aggressive promotional strategy, leaving no options off the table. It launched an email list providing regular weight-loss tips, and held cycling, hiking, and walking activities, as well as starting on-site yoga classes. Staff were even given reminder cards, helping them remember to get up and get moving from time to time. ------------------------------------- Editor: 1) "attack verbally" is a bit too suggestive of person-to-person interaction, I feel. I'd prefer "denounce". As one TP quote suggests, 文攻 includes things like "media attacks". 2) It's not just China/Taiwan. 華盛頓文攻武嚇解放軍南海增兵. 北韓與美國文攻武嚇恐爆核戰 朝鮮近日不停對韓國和美國文攻武嚇。 美國這樣的文攻武嚇，不禁讓人質疑中美貿易戰會有止戰之時，雙方能否達成互相皆可接受的貿易協定？ 3) "try to coerce" is general enough to apply to the weight-loss example. |
