Here, the object that is representing an ideology that is being passed on to others is the peach-shaped steamed buns.<\/span><\/p>\nThe narrator outlines this as she makes the connection between acceptance of the steamed bun with the political brainwashing of the people- in accepting the steamed bun and happily singing happy birthday, they are actually accepting the control and influence of a foreign power over their lives whether they were aware of this or not.<\/span><\/p>\nThe steamed buns are a symbol of the seemingly good things the dominating power is offering the people to distract them from what is going on, which the narrator realizes later on in her life.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Stop 2 Analysis” open=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n
In this quote, the objects in focus are the wall, the berries, and the wooden gates with the names of newspapers. Despite what the people may have been used to doing in their daily lives (an idea represented by the berries in the yard), each family has something in common- the Chinese influence that is permeating Taiwan in the form of the wooden gates. The wooden gates in themselves would represent a kind of uniformity on their own, but when taken into account with the fact that they are all marked with the names of <\/span>Chinese<\/span><\/i> newspapers further pushes the idea that Chinese influence is finding a way to dominate over native culture even in the home. \u00a0These newspaper names are also a way of marking the family as a reader of specific newspapers. \u00a0External province people would more likely be readers of United Daily and China Daily, papers sympathetic to KMT, whereas internal province people would read Independence News and Liberty Times, sympathetic to DPP. \u00a0Here the narrator uses the story of Alibaba, as a Moses Passover type story, to illustrate how reading these newspapers literally marked the reader\u2019s home to indicate their political stances.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Stop 2 Translation Notes” open=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

In the original text, the last line is “\u6709\u671d\u4e00\u65e5” or “one of these days”. This line comes after describing the story (\u6545\u4e8b). Normally,\u00a0\u6709\u671d\u4e00\u65e5would be with \u65e5\u540e. However, in the original text, it comes at the end to emphasize the eventuality of killing them or not. This way of writing is a bit odd in Chinese.The English version translates this as \u201cone of these days\u201d. This is generally correct, but perhaps it is not as serious or as odd as it is in the original version. A better translation might be something like \u201cif not tomorrow, someday\u201d<\/p>\n

Here the narrator is reminiscing on the large maple leaves that A had sent her from America. \u00a0These leaves are a physical representation of a foreign influence in the narrator\u2019s life. \u00a0They carry with them the memories of A and a striking disappointment that comes when the reality of the leaves is so different from those she had imagined. \u00a0The maple leaves that are unfamiliar are contrasted with the white oaks that the narrator knows so well. <\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Stop 1 Translation Notes” open=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n
An interesting translation change to note here is the different ways the translations deal with referring\u00a0to paper sizes. In the original version, the envelope is described as “\u5341\u516d\u5f00\u7684\u5c01\u90ae\u5bc4” which refers to and A4 size envelope. The English\u00a0version interestingly translates this as a “large manilla envelope”. The translator could have referred to it as and A4 sized envelope but chose to refer to it as a large manilla envelope instead. This choice is likely done to make the reading more accessible\u00a0to the English\u00a0reader. While English\u00a0speakers do refer to paper sizes this way, it is far more common to refer to this envelope as a large manilla envelope. By using the more common termonology,\u00a0\u00a0the translator makes it easier for the reader to conjure\u00a0up the image depicted\u00a0and therefore more accessible to the reader.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Stop 2 Analysis” open=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n
In this passage, the narrator describes the influences of foreign music she listened to in college. \u00a0From the Beatles to Don McLean, the music she listened to in college was the background of her life and hence became the walls supporting and surrounding her memories of that time. \u00a0This music was a permeating foreign influence on the narrator’s life in a period of time she holds in such vivid memory.<\/span><\/p>\nThe narrator further describes the impact of English language culture on herself and others when she describes her English dictionary. She purchases this dictionary in order to understand the lyrics of the songs she listens to every day. This purchase suggests the pervasiveness of English language media and culture. The popularity of these songs causes the narrator to buy a dictionary just to understand the songs heard daily. In this instance, Taiwan\u2019s own music and culture are overshadowed by foreign influences. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Stop 2 Translation Notes” open=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n
The author makes an interesting choice in this quote by only translating some of the titles and group names into Mandarin. This choice could be due to the availability of commonly used mandarin terms for the band (i.e. the Beatles\/\u62ab\u5934\u58eb). This may also represent different marketing choices made by companies when expanding English\u00a0language media to countries with other languages. Some bands and movies are ubiquitously\u00a0popular and are therefore given mandarin names by viewers. Some companies may seek to integrate themselves into the Chinese market by giving their works their own mandarin names. On the other hand, some companies may not consider this as being necessary, so they leave their work with only an English\u00a0name, which\u00a0puts the translation burden on the non-English\u00a0speakers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Stop 3 Analysis” open=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n
Here the car dealerships represent a physical manifestation of foreign (American and Japanese) influence on Taiwan. Whether it’s the planting of trees or car dealerships there is some carry over of ideology into physical representations. In this instance, the large\u00a0<\/span>commercial showrooms for these car dealerships are in direct contrast to the row of green nightshade trees that also lies along Dadu Road. The narrator feels a deep connection to these trees. While on the bus, she hopes to see these trees, because they harbor a deep connection to her teenage years with A. The appearance of a large advertisement representing the trade of cars and American ideals is in direct contrast to the narrator\u2019s desire to revisit her past memories by seeing the nightshade trees. These trees were actually planted by the Japanese, a foreign influence on Taiwan. They are preceded by another, newer American influence.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
