下週就是美國總統大選,川普若再度當選將對美中關係產生重大影響。川普曾表示,他希望減少美國對中國商品的依賴,並優先考慮美國製造業,這一立場可能會重新塑造全球供應鏈,並促使與盟友的貿易協議進行重新評估。一篇新聞英文了解川普選上後的對中政策!
▍川普與中國的對抗:關鍵政策與行動
Trump's Confrontation with China: Key Policies and Actions
Former President Donald Trump has consistently targeted China over various economic practices he deems abusive, including intellectual property theft, currency manipulation, export subsidies, and economic espionage. He argues that decisive measures are essential to safeguard American jobs and address the significant trade deficit between the two nations.
前總統唐納川普始終將目標對準中國,指責中國多項經濟行為存在濫用現象,包括知識產權盜竊、貨幣操縱、出口補貼和經濟間諜活動。他認為,採取果斷措施對於保護美國就業和應對兩國之間的重大貿易逆差相當重要。
▍承諾降低中國依賴:電子、鋼鐵與製藥業將迎來巨變
Trump has vowed to eliminate U.S. dependence on China in critical sectors such as electronics, steel, and pharmaceuticals. During his presidency, he initiated a trade war with China, imposing tariffs averaging 18 percent on hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of Chinese imports. Trump has even suggested the possibility of tripling these tariffs if he is reelected.
川普承諾在電子產品、鋼鐵和製藥等關鍵領域,要消除美國對中國的依賴。在他的總統任期內,他與中國發起了貿易戰,對數千億美元的中國進口商品徵收平均18%的關稅。川普表示,如果他再次當選,可能會將這些關稅提高三倍。
▍從最惠國到投資管制:川普的四年計劃與中國投資限制
He has proposed revoking China’s "most favored nation" status, a designation granted upon China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, and introduced a four-year plan to reduce imports of essential goods from China. The Republican platform supports limiting Chinese investments in U.S. real estate and industry.
他提議撤銷中國的「最惠國」地位,最惠國地位在中國加入世界貿易組織(WTO)時獲得,並推出了一項為期四年的計劃,旨在減少從中國進口基本物資。共和黨則支持限制中國在美國房地產和工業的投資。
▍川普強硬政策:限制中國科技發展,推進美國醫藥自給
The former president has highlighted the importance of producing essential medicines, like penicillin, domestically rather than relying on imports from China. Additionally, his administration criticized Beijing's state-led industrial strategy, which aims to position China as a leader in advanced technologies. To counter this, Trump implemented export controls on semiconductors and chipmaking equipment to restrict China's access to these technologies.
前總統強調,像青黴素這樣的基本藥物應在美國國內生產,而不是依賴中國的進口。此外,他的政府批評了北京的國家主導工業政策,認為其旨在使中國成為先進技術的領導者。為此,川普實施了對半導體和芯片製造設備的出口管制,以限制中國獲取這些技術。
▍從華為到科技併購:川普強化對中國企業的安全限制
Under his administration, regulatory reforms were introduced to enhance U.S. scrutiny of foreign acquisitions by Chinese firms, leading to the blockage of several proposed sales of U.S. technology companies to China. Trump also increased restrictions on Huawei, a Chinese telecommunications giant, citing security concerns, although he currently opposes a ban on the popular app TikTok.
在他的政府期間,進行監管改革,加強了對中國企業外國收購的審查,導致多個美國科技公司出售給中國公司的提議被阻止。川普還加大了對中國電信巨頭華為的限制,因安全擔憂而採取措施,儘管他目前反對禁止受歡迎的TikTok應用。
▍川普對抗毒品與人權問題:與中國合作禁芬太尼,制裁侵犯者
In collaboration with the Chinese government, Trump negotiated a deal to classify fentanyl as a controlled substance and to prohibit its production in China. His administration also took a stand on human rights issues, meeting with representatives of the Uyghur community and sanctioning Chinese officials implicated in human rights violations.
川普與中國政府合作,達成協議,將Fentanyl(芬太尼)列為受控物質,並禁止其在中國的生產。他的政府在人權問題上也採取了立場,接見了維吾爾社群的代表,並制裁了涉及人權侵犯的中國官員。
▍美台關係新局:川普政府加碼台灣軍售與防衛合作
In a historic move in 2016, Trump became the first U.S. president or president-elect since 1979 to engage directly with Taiwan's leader. He boosted U.S. Navy patrols in the Taiwan Strait and advocated for increased arms sales to Taiwan, emphasizing that the island should finance its own defense.
在2016年,川普成為自1979年以來第一位與台灣領導人進行直接接觸的美國總統或當選總統。他增加了美國海軍在台灣海峽的巡邏,並主張增加對台灣的軍售,強調該島應自行承擔防衛費用。
▍川普加強南海軍事存在,反對中國的領土擴張
In July 2020, Trump's administration announced its rejection of nearly all Chinese territorial claims in the South China Sea, condemning Beijing's aggressive actions in the contested waters.
在2020年7月,川普政府宣布拒絕幾乎所有中國在南海的領土主張,譴責北京在爭議水域的侵略行為。
如果川普重新就任,預計他的政府將延續第一任期內的對中強硬政策,並可能進一步推動經濟脫鉤,加大對中國進口商品的關稅,以及持續限制中國科技公司的運營。

TOEIC (多益) Part 2 是「問答題」部分,考生需要聆聽一句簡短的問題或陳述句,並從三個選項中選出最合適的回答,這部分考驗的是考生對簡單日常會話的理解及反應能力。多益考生常常受到不同口音、語速導致無法立刻順利理解內文,筆者想介紹一個簡單小技巧,提升答題準度!
以下是一些重要的考試技巧,幫助你在多益 Part 2 中表現更好!
✦掌握常見的問題類型:
多益測驗是圍繞著職場英文設計的一系列英文對話,我們先用中文思考辦公室經常遇到的問題有哪些,印表機等辦公室用品壞了沒有了、開會議程、報告議程、更改時間日期、某同事為何請假……,所幸英文表達很開門見山,幾乎聽到開頭就能大致猜出要回覆哪種類型的答案。
1. Who 問人 ⇨ 回答也是人
.問題:Who is going to lead the team on the new project?
.答案:Mr. Johnson will be in charge of that.
2. Where 問地點 ⇨ 重點聽地點相關資訊
小陷阱,可能不會明確說出地標,但可能可以聽到near, across, next to, between 等這類型的地方介系詞。
.問題:Where should I submit the final report?
.答案:Please send it to the HR department by email.
3. When 問時間 ⇨ 答案會出現明確的時間或時間區間,後者更常見
.問題:When will the updated budget be available?
.答案:It should be ready by the end of the week.
以上三種是有跡可循的答案!接著介紹答案較為五花八門的Why和What,這兩個疑問詞難以預判後續的題目,但是我們能透過答案選項A, B, C進行刪去法,例如:問同事為何今日請假,回答聽到時間、地點幾乎可以馬上刪去!
4. Why問原因 ⇨ 重點聽原因或解釋
.問題:Why was the meeting rescheduled?
.答案:The manager had a conflict with another appointment.
5. What 問問題 ⇨ 答案五花八門
.問題:What is the agenda for tomorrow's meeting?
.答案:We'll be discussing the new marketing strategy and budget allocation.
6. How 問方法 ⇨ 通常答案在解釋步驟、程序、操作
.問題:How do I access the sales report on the new system?
.答案:You can log in with your employee ID and download it from the reports section.
這些Wh- 開頭和How的疑問詞模擬了辦公室中的實際對話,雖然題目不難但只播放一次,很考驗考生專注力,多加練習掌握考試節奏,第二大題一定能順利拿分!下一篇將介紹其他Yes/No問句、選擇問句、和陳述句的多益題型分析,歡迎加入共學一起提升職場英文力!
