[時事英文] 美國阿札爾部長的「Tsai總統」發音！
Is this whole discussion really about diplomatic courtesy and English pronunciation, or is it just another ploy to attract media attention?
這些「發音的討論」是基於外交禮節、英文的發音亦或只是獲得媒體關注的手段？
Probably all three? A better way to improve public image might be to invest more in community service, connect with the constituency, and cultivate new talents.
1. diplomatic courtesy 外交禮節
2. ploy 計謀、策略、手段
3. lift public image 提升形象
4. community service 社區服務
5. constituency 選區；選區的選民
6. new talents 新秀
也許以上皆是? 提升公眾形象更好的途徑可以是透過投入社區服務、增加與選民的互動以及培養有潛力的新秀。
Focus on issues that count, not make petty arguments.
