Taiwan is not yet a member of the United Nations, but it aspires to participate. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said the country will continue to advocate for UN participation this year with successful pandemic prevention results.
Taiwan has been barred from participation in the UN since 1971, but MOFA wishes to garner support from the global community and use its internationally praised coronavirus measures as leverage.
Three main requests this year are: inclusion in the UN, eligibility to attend Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) conferences, and access to UN events for media and Taiwanese citizens.
友善讓你懂 │ 解說:
台灣自從1971年退出聯合國之後,始終無法再次進入,也在國際場合被邊緣化。這些年來,台灣持續爭取加入聯合國,今年也不例外,尤其希望能透過台灣對抗新冠病毒卓越的成果,讓世界看見台灣的成就。
外交部希望能獲得友邦與國際社會的支持,但由於政治因素,台灣始終被拒於聯合國大門之外,就連台灣人要參觀聯合國大樓都會受阻,因為台灣護照並不被聯合國承認。
今年的主要訴求包括加入聯合國、參與永續發展目標(SDG)會議,以及允許台灣人與台灣媒體參加聯合國活動。
輕鬆帶著走 │ 學習:
「爭取」、「倡議」,英文就是advocate,同時是及物或不及物動詞;若是不及物,後面的介係詞要用for,
例句:He advocates traditional teaching methods. 他爭取傳統的教學方式
They formed a group to advocate for changes in the school system. 他們集體倡議改變學校系統。
除了當動詞,advocate也可以是名詞,意思就是「倡議者」
例句:she is an a passionate advocate of civil rights. 她是一名熱血的人權倡議者
另外,片語”devil’s advocate” 惡魔的倡議者、魔鬼代言人,意思就是「假意反對的人、故意唱反調的人」,意思不是負面的,而是說出真話、或是故意提出反面觀點、激發討論的目的,對於團體反而有正面的公用。
