520總統就職！3分鐘學會總統上任相關單字片語

Lai Ching-te called on Beijing to cease its intimidation of Taiwan as he was sworn in as president Monday, marking the start of a historic third consecutive term for the island’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which has championed democracy in the face of years of growing threats from authoritarian China.
賴清德在今週一就任總統，這標誌著島內歷史性連續三屆由民主進步黨（DPP）執政。宣誓時呼籲北京停止對台灣的恐嚇行為，在面對來自威權中國日益增長的威脅下，捍衛民主。

Lai, 64, a former doctor and vice president, was inaugurated alongside new Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim, who recently served as Taiwan’s top envoy to the United States.
現年64歲的賴清德與新任副總統蕭美琴一同宣誓就職，過去賴清德曾是一名醫生，也曾當過副總統，而蕭美琴則是前陣子擔任台灣駐美國最高代表。

Both leaders and their party are openly loathed by Beijing for championing Taiwan’s sovereignty. China’s ruling Communist Party says the self-ruling democracy is part of its territory, despite never having controlled it, and has vowed to take the island, by force if necessary.
因倡導台灣主權，北京公然表示對這兩位領導人及其政黨的厭惡。中國共產黨儘管從未對台灣進行過統治，聲稱這個自治民主區是其領土的一部分，並誓言必要時將以武力奪取。

Lai used his 30-minute inaugural speech to broadcast a message of peace and declare that a “glorious era of Taiwan’s democracy has arrived,” describing the island as an “important link” in a “global chain of democracies,” while reiterating a determination to defend its sovereignty.
賴清德利用他30分鐘的就職演說傳遞和平信息，宣布「台灣民主的光輝時代已經到來」，他形容台灣是「全球民主鏈中的重要環節」，同時重申了捍衛其主權的決心。

“The future of the Republic of China Taiwan will be decided by its 23 million people. The future we decide is not just the future of our nation, but the future of the world,” Lai said, using the formal name for Taiwan.
賴清德以台灣正式名稱講述：「各位國人同胞，當我們主張，中華民國台灣的未來，由2300萬人民共同決定。我們決定的未來，不只是我們國家的未來，也是全世界的未來！」
