大概是一兩年前吧,有一次在辦論壇時,跟一位優秀的海軍退役軍官聊到「語言教育」的重要性。
那位曾在海內外打拼的優質軍官曾跟我說過,台灣🇹🇼跟國外軍售後,軍官、士官、志願役士兵,都有機會去國外與盟軍共同訓練。
除了武器設備都是原文,需要扎實的語言學習外, 訓練期間的「溝通語言」,更能學習到一般基本操作、武器操作之外,更深層的交流。
例如: 對美(或其他盟國)軍隊文化的了解,建立長期且穩定的友誼。
教育不僅僅只是教育部、學校的事而已。
「美國國家安全教育項目」由美國國防部資助,從1991年開始,就透過教育,讓美國民眾能增強其在國際間的競爭力及溝通能力。
其中的「美國國家中文領航項目」,則由美國13所優秀的綜合性大學參與,旨於讓美國大學生,未來能具備雙語言、雙文化能力,在教育、經濟、國防安全、外交領域做出貢獻。
很高興能夠與美國國家中文領航項目副主任李明穎女士,就未來協助訓練美方青年在此項目的合作達成共識。
台灣世代智庫 Taiwan NextGen Foundation將會在明年提供中文環境的工作機會,讓美方青年能夠在研究政策、論壇中,使用中文,融入台灣文化,並提供他們主修的專業力,增進兩方關係。
雙語教育的重要性,不是只在一個部會、一個機構、一個部門,也不是針對學齡的學生,在傳統的「學校」場域。
他是跨領域的集合體。
不管是與盟友建立友誼,平時的溝通,這些能力都是極重要的,美方對於語言教育的投資,是以國安的思維在投資。
透過這個機會,也讓我們機構的夥伴,熟悉不同文化、語言背景的朋友,台灣必須融入世界,才能擴大市場,每一步,都值得一起努力。
The The Language Flagship is one of the most prestigious initiatives aimed at promoting language learning and linguistic diversity. I thank Dr. Ming-Ying Li and Mr. Pass Yang, representing of The U.S. Language Flagship Overseas Center in Taiwan, for visiting me and my team at 台灣世代智庫 Taiwan NextGen Foundation this morning.
Our think-tank eagerly anticipates an opportunity to welcome participants in the Chinese Flagship Overseas Capstone Program to our team as interns. During their time at NextGen, these gifted young scholars will have an opportunity to hone their skills in Mandarin Chinese and gain a better understanding of the policymaking milieu in Taiwan.
In light of the fruitful and recently concluded visit of our Czech friends, today's meeting made me think of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, whom many Czechs call their "President Liberator." The statesman famously proclaimed: "Kolik jazyků znáš, tolikrát jsi člověkem" - as many languages you know, as many times you are a human being. Language learning helps foster empathy and constitutes a crucial component of peace education.
Given my own background in international security studies, I applaud the US government for its continued support for the National Security Education Program, which also includes The Language Flagship initiative.

錢是台灣人民納稅,怎麼用卻不被揭露。美國智庫是拿錢辦事,還是以金援為名收受獻金為實?

華府智庫昆西治安研究所(Quincy Institute)民主外交政策計畫執行人克里夫頓(Eli Clifton)於17日發表《台灣金援智庫:無所不在但很少揭露》(Taiwan funding of think tanks: Omnipresent and rarely disclosed)一文指出,台灣金援了美國五大智庫,促使這些智庫向美國執政者建言,做出有利於台灣綠營執政政府的美國政策。該文發出後,台北經濟文化代表處政治組組長趙怡翔緊急在推特上指出,該文有錯失之處,且並未向台北經濟文化代表處查證置評。
文章稱,台灣金援的五個華府智庫包括布魯金斯學會、美國進步中心(CAP)、新美國安全中心(CNAS)、戰略與國際研究中心(CSIS)以及哈德遜研究所,都有來自於台北經濟文化代表處的資金,但都將其深埋在其年度報告中。這五個華盛頓最著名、看似公正的的智庫一直在發表政策文件,敦促美國與台灣建立更緊密的關係,擴大美國與台灣的武器銷售和貿易協定,卻沒有廣泛披露其背後來自台北經濟文化代表處(TECRO)的高額資金。
支持台有助民主自由
文章詳列台北經濟文化代表處對五大智庫的贊助金額,及這些智庫收到贊助後為台灣做了什麼。文章稱,布魯金斯學會學者於2019年12月為《台北時報》撰文,指出美國兩黨支持在台灣和美國的重要性;美國進步中心研究員在今年3月分《華盛頓月刊》上發表專欄文章稱,加強美台關係將有助民主自由,並在2019年9月發表《如何支持亞洲的民主與人權》報告時,直接向美國決策者「為如何穩固支持台灣」提供直接建議。
而新美國安全中心向華盛頓提供有關2020年《中國崛起的挑戰》報告時,敦促美國決策者優先考慮與台灣的雙邊投資和貿易協定;CSIS在5月發表前美國駐港澳總領事唐偉康(Kurt Tong)的文章,其中主張美台達成貿易協定,將能加強美國在亞洲領導地位。
倡售台集束炸彈抗中
哈德遜研究所則於5月向美國決策者提出售台「集束炸彈」,以便台灣可以威脅對中共具有重大政治價值的非軍事目標及領導人,並建議鼓勵台灣有效威脅中國的非軍事目標。還鼓勵美國決策者「做出直接有利於台灣綠營執政黨的政策」,敦促美國決策者承認「一個自治或獨立的台灣」。

Taiwan funding of think tanks: Omnipresent and rarely disclosed
https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2020/06/17/taiwan-funding-of-think-tanks-omnipresent-and-rarely-disclosed/
[節錄]
Why not disclose?
Hudson may be the most extreme in its policy proposals, but the consistent behavior from the five think tanks is unmistakable: General support funding from Taiwan’s government is never disclosed when experts, whose salaries may well be partially funded by TECRO dollars, offer policy recommendations regarding U.S.-Taiwan relations.
“My philosophy is that if you’re producing any report, you should put right up front in an acknowledgment section that lists the specific funders, including general-support funders, that helped make this report possible and list any potential conflict of interest with the funders,” said Freeman of the Foreign Influence Transparency Initiative. “Let the reader judge for themself whether there’s a conflict of interest.”
Though the appearance or possibility of a conflict of interest does not mean that the funding flows from Taiwan influenced the work products produced by the think tanks, the decision not to prominently disclose the funding may undermine otherwise valuable analysis and policy proposals.
“It seems like because they hid it, they have something to hide,” said Freeman. “When the public trust in government is at all-time lows and people think D.C. is so corrupt, it’s even more important for think tanks and think tank scholars to put this information out there and try and restore the trust of the American public.”
Indeed, as acceptance of a cold war posture toward China becomes ever more accepted as a foregone conclusion by Washington influencers, one of them actually highlighted the danger of foreign funding going largely undisclosed.
CNAS’s 2020 report that advocated for a U.S.-Taiwan trade agreement warned of think tanks receiving “substantial funding from Beijing that is often targeted at shaping views and discourse on China.” CNAS recommended “higher degrees of transparency” to help “ensure that this funding is not generating hidden forms of foreign lobbying, self-censorship, or other activities that undermine core U.S. democratic principles.”
That self-awareness about the potential influence of foreign funding, and the ethical arguments for greater transparency, does not appear to extend to the omnipresent funding stream from Taipei to think tanks across the Beltway.

自己蠻喜歡的 NA 的賽評 Kobe 發了一篇他對於最近 LCS 的看法。
為了練習英文,所以我把他翻成中文,如果大家有興趣可以看一下。
順便也可以幫我看看有沒有翻譯不通順或是翻錯的地方
哈哈哈哈
如果有類似的文章也請推薦給我練習 QQ

Hey! Dropping some thoughts on some of the big LCS stories and teams this morning ahead of recording the Dive:
Hey! 在今早錄《 The Dive》之前寫下一些關於 LCS 故事和隊伍的想法。
C9 will be our MSI representatives but the upcoming buffs to cinderhulk which follow these sejuani buffs improve tank options for their competitors and when you pair that with the increased power of enchanters and scaling champions like Orn, teams will have better chances in the last 6 weeks of LCS to turtle out a possible win against the powerhouse C9 squad.
C9 將會是代表 LCS 出賽今年 MSI 的隊伍。但是再史瓦妮增強以後,緊接而來的餘燼附魔增強將會讓 C9 的競爭對手有更多坦克英雄的選擇,當你把這些新的坦克選擇和影響力越來越大的輔助類英雄和後期有高影響力的英雄,如厄爾,放在一起看時,你會發現其他隊伍在剩下最後六周的賽程中,將會有更好的機會可以贏過現在的聯盟強權 C9。
I think liquid will rise to be a top 3 team again but it is going to take more time practicing with Broxah and they will still not surpass C9 or reach their previous levels of NA dominance because even though they will improve this split, the rest of the league has improved as well.
我認為 TL 會回升到聯盟前三名,但他們需要更多的時間和 Broxah 練習與磨合,不過即便如此他們仍沒辦法超越 C9 或是達到他們之前在 NA 賽區宰制的等級,因為即便他們在這個賽季進步了,聯盟中的其他隊伍也同樣再進步。
What the FK happened to Crown and CLG? We don’t give out a “Dade award” for regular season but Crown has got to be the biggest underperformance of a single player compared to expectations set for him preseason. Ruin also seems to be struggling and the entire team having problems coordinating their engagements with their DPS at the same time resulting in the L’s piling up.
Crown 跟 CLG 到底在幹三小? 我們在例行賽並不會頒發 Dade award 獎,但 Crown 的現在的表現和季前大家對他的期待可以說是落差最大的。Ruin 看起來也打得相當掙扎。同時,整個 CLG 在開戰和輸出位的協調上也是大有問題,這些原因導致了一系列的落敗。
TSM went 0-2 and made some more mistakes in the mid game resulting in them getting out scaled but they have shown real promise in their draft flexing (Qiyana, Sett, Orn…) and I do prefer a proactive style of play so I would encourage them to continue to work through the mistakes and not give up on their new direction.
TSM 目前二連敗並且在遊戲中期犯下了不少的錯誤導致他們的評級下降,但他們展現了他們對於多使用錯位英雄的企圖( 姬亞娜、賽特、厄爾...) 而我相當喜歡這種積極的選角模式,所以我想要鼓勵他們持續解決目前遇到的錯誤,不要放棄他們的新戰術方向。
IMT are second place right now, and deserve the spot. However, I don’t think they will even be able to hold onto a top 4 spot if Eika doesn’t step up individually or they don’t import a different midlaner. Roaming is incredibly important for the mid position right now and he is currently sitting at the 2nd lowest forward % and lowest damage % of all mids. Meanwhile, their team play and objective focus is really paying off and having veterans like Xmithie and Soaz can often get you wins that people didn't expect you to get on paper.
IMT 目前是排名第二,而他們也值得這個名次。但是,如果 Eika 個人能力沒辦法拿出應有的表現或是他們沒有引進其他的中路選手,我認為他們將沒有辦法維持在前四名。在現在的比賽中,遊走能力對於一名中路選手而言是至關重要的,然而,目前在聯盟所有中路選手中 Eika 的推線率是倒數第二、傷害占比倒數第一。與此同時,IMT 的團戰配合與物件導向的戰術打法有著很好的成效,而且當你的隊伍中有 Xmithie 和 sOAZ 這種老將的時候,他們往往可以替隊伍拿下一些出人意料的勝利。
See you next weekend! I'm really excited for patch 10.4 tomorrow in soloqueue so I'll be spamming games ;)
大家下周見! 我對於明天即將在 soloqueue 到來的 10.4 版本感到相當興奮,所以我會狂打遊戲。

跑車不能裝手把包怎麼辦。沒關係,試試小的油箱包,一樣方便拿東西。配上腰包可以容納更多東西!再沒辦法,就只好先靠背包了。Some bikes don't work with handle bar bags. No worries. Try smaller tank bags. And with fanny pack, you can bring more than you think. Otherwise you could always settle with backpack.
