向阿扁宣讀暴動條例
最近由於陳水扁總統主張公投制憲,使台海出現空前的緊張局勢,美國為化解此一爆炸性的局面,據稱特別派遣了白宮主管亞洲事務的資深主任莫健(James Moriarty),前往台北面見陳總統,傳達布希總統希望阿扁不要搞公投的意思。12月5日中午的美國務院例行簡報會上,有記者針對以上情勢問起:
QUESTION: And apropos of Taiwan, since Monday, there seems to be a big hue(原文誤為hew)and cry in the neo-con, you know, the President's neo-conservative supporters, about U.S. policy on Taiwan and some debate over whether a senior official was sent to Taipei to basically read the riot act to President Chen and tell him ……to stop talking about independence.
問題大意是,關於美國對台政策,已在支持總統的新保守派人士中引起恐慌與抗議,也有一些辯論,像是否派遣高級官員去台北嚴重警告陳總統,制止他再高談獨立。這個問題裡有好幾個習慣用語(idioms)值得注意和學習。
