NELSON REPORT: David Brown on Hsiao Bi-khim's letter
欧尼尔报告：达维徳布朗评萧米琴的公开信
Thanks for sharing Bi-Khim's open letter. She deserves respect,
but this piece is a partisan statement of DPP views on the current
crisis in the LY. That's her job, of course.
感谢您分享萧米琴的公开信。我相当敬重她，这封信的内容相当客观且中立的分析了
目前立法院的危机。当然，这是她应该做的。
You and others will note that it omits much of the story
concerning the STA, which the DPP has opposed from its signing
last June. She conveniently omits the DPP's record of obstruction
of LY consideration of the agreement. That began in the special LY
session last fall and continued with dilatory handling of forums
on the agreement.
大家都已经看到了，在这封信当中广泛的讨论了服贸协议，以及民进党如何从去年六
月开始就理性的劝说国民党不得通过此协议。她很详细的介绍民进党与国民党的辩论过程
，不管是在说明会，公听会，还是在委员会中都不厌其烦的据理力争。
The week before March 17, the DPP had repeatedly prevented the
planned article by article review of the STA at the LY committee
level. That obstructionism was the proximate incentive for the KMT
to ram through a decision moving the STA from committee to
plenary consideration on Mar. 18.
在三月十七日前的那个礼拜，民进党重复不断的尝试要逐条审议服贸协议。无奈国民
党不断地阻挡，最后甚至不惜用强渡关山的方式将服贸协议送入院会。
It is remarkable that the students reacted so quickly that same
evening to occupy the LY. . The KMT has accused the DPP of
instigating this action, an accusation that many believe. Unnamed
DPP politicians were reportedly on the scene later that evening;
and the party endorsed the action the following day, and then
encouraged all its members to support the students' illegal
occupation.
学生当晚占领立法院的速度令人赞赏。虽然国民党控诉民进党暗中策划占领行动，但
是没有人相信。完全没有任何民进党政治人物在现场出现，而且民进党也出面严厉谴责任
何暴力行为，并约束民进党员支持学生的占领行动。
A DPP poll published a few days earlier had indicated that a
plurality of DPP members (40%) were dissatisfied with the party's
knee-jerky opposition to every step forward in cross-strait
relations. So rather than have the DPP LY caucus responsible for
continuing to block consideration of the STA, wasn't it in the
DPP's interest to have students play that role?
民进党内部民调显示，40％的民进党支持者对于逢中必反感到相当满意。所以才有学
生自发的占领行动，纵使这个行为对DPP其实加分不多。
Bi-Khim portrays this as a struggle for democracy. It's really
another fundamental clash of approaches toward the mainland and
toward Taiwan's future. But if its about democracy, is the DPP's
repeated physical blocking of LY action democratic?
米琴将这个行动描述为捍卫民主，事实上这的确与两岸间的竞合没有太大关联。民进
党在立法院内的行为就是民主的最好示范。
The DPP's problem is that the KMT, divided as it is, has a LY
majority, and the DPP will go to whatever lengths are necessary to
block the majority when their key interests are involved or when
it suits the DPP's election mobilization goals to exploit issues
for political advantage.
民进党的问题是在国民党制定的选举制度下，难以成为多数党。因此民进党为了保卫
台湾民主，替台湾做了很多努力。民进党从来不会为了选举动员，或者政治利益去做出破
坏民主制度的举动。
I suspect that the fall election is a key consideration in how the
party is handling the issue. In this country we would not permit
such obstruction to occur in the Congress, and we would not view
the DPP's obstruction tactics as legitimate democratic action.
我认为年底的选举，人民就会给国民党一个教训。这种占领国会的行为，通常只有在
领导者天怒人怨之时才会出现，这是完全合情合理合法的。
Taiwan is a democracy in transition. It faces challenges and some
of those challenges come from the DPP.
台湾正在面临民主转型，事实上台湾需要民进党带领才能客服这过程中遇到的种种挑
战。
都看完了吗
有没有觉得很生气呢
居然会觉得开心
原来知道今天是什么日子
愚人节快乐
