The Silenced Technology—the Beauty and Sorrow of Reassembled Cars

Reassembled cars can be seen everywhere in Taiwan. In the past few decades, the government has repeatedly clamped down on them. It has also taken measures such as negative persuasion, technical requirements, alienation, phaseout, and developed standard agricultural vehicles to eradicate reassembled cars. But they are able to take advantage of the social context and rationalize their existence. Reassembled cars have not only gained support or sympathy but also overturned the conventional concept of safety, which allows them to fight against official clampdown. To compete against mass-manufactured vehicles, their best strategy is to respond to the circumstances of Taiwan’s rural area and offer the best solution. Their external advantages include their services, adaptability to all kinds of environments, not to mention that they are license-free and tax-free. Internal advantages include their safety, low prices, and flexibility in production and use, thanks to the collaborated network consisting of salvage yards and reassembled car makers. By making good use of all the aforementioned advantages and following Taiwan’s social development, reassembled cars have gained a competitive niche that has failed the clampdown actions over and over again. But most importantly, they have supported Taiwan’s economic development in many sectors.

Life After Experiences of Infertility Treatment: Akirameru—The First Step for Empowering

Although there is some awareness of how women in infertility treatment have suffered physically and psychologically, it is a little known fact that there is a limit to the “cures” that can be achieved even with assisted reproductive technologies. Here, I describe how the existence of ART affects women’s decision making about their lives. Through life histories of women who underwent infertility treatment, I explore the factors which cause their suffering and conflict—that they cannot give up on having children even though they want to give up—as follows: (1) The models of their ideal family which have been formed throughout their lives is ‘ordinary’ family; (2) they experienced the alienation from their own bodies in infertility treatment; (3) they are afraid that they deviate from the community norm because of infertility; (4) their narrative shows their suffering from infertility is caused by tense relationship in family and community. These factors make women in infertility belittle themselves. Through their life histories, I conclude that they need to be empowered if they want to akirameru (give up) having children after prolonged infertility treatment. To paraphrase, a woman who suffers from infertility and infertility treatment is empowered when she becomes unafraid to deviated from cultural norms.

The Wind in"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Generally, Coleridge's poems are mainly divided into two groups:one is to use common Language to depict commom things and common people; the other is to use unique imagination to describe supernatural things. "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"belongs to the second group. Some critics blame Coleridge for his lack of morals in this poem, but in fact,this poem contains lots of morals, as Coleridge himself said.Coleridge succeeds in exploring the theme of sin and punishment by his rich imagination and by the depicting of supernatural things. In "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", Coleridge intentionally built a symbolic world of the supernatural wind, the bird, the sun, the moon ,the ship and the sea. All these symbols serve to develop the theme of Fall and Redemption, and play so important a part in the poem that we even can take it as a symbolic poem. In the following pages, I am going to devote to the functions of the supernatural wind in particular. Coleridge bestows the wind with a great deal of supernat     

Crane''''s Attitude about Man''''s Position in the world——A Brief Comment on "The Open Boat" and Stephen Crane

Stephen Crane(1871—1900) saw life as hard, perhaps cruel. His style has been called realistic, naturalistic and impressionistic . He tried to give an accurate showing of the scene as a whole rather than concentrating on detail like an impressionist painter. His style is also marked by the use of vivid colour and imagery "The Open Boat" is the best known of Crane's later stories. The subject grew

The的副词用法初探

<正> 从英语的词性(Parts of Speech)角度来看,the的语法功用主要可以划分为两大类;一类为冠词用法,一类为副词用法.一般情况下,the用作冠词的情形居多,在英语语句及各类文章中不乏其例,几乎俯拾可得.但是,我们不能因而就厚此薄彼,低估the的副词用法的重要性,事实上,the在英语中被用作副词的情况也并非少见,不容忽略.例如,由徐燕谋先生主编的、英语专业高年级精读通用教材《英语》第七册第十六课的课文“On Big Words”(《论大字眼》)中就有这么两个句子:
