Here,\u00a0\u6731\u69ff is incorrectly translated as Chinese Hibiscus (\u9ec4\u69ff). Its scientific name is Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, and it is a bright red color. So, although this quote follows with the pattern of the Stop 3 quote, because the flowers are tying the past with the present, this is not the same flower as the Chinese Hibiscus (\u9ec4\u69ff, Hibiscus tiliaceus).\u00a0\u6731 also has several cultural connotations: it usually represents South, it means an especially bright red color (as opposed to \u7ea2, which is a more modern word), and it was the surname of the Ming Dynasty emperors. Some of the \u6731 people emigrated\u00a0to Taiwan during the Ming Dynasty.<\/p>\n

    Analysis for Stop 1 and Stop 2<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t

    In the translated version of these two quotes, there are no phrases that the two have in common. But, in the original version, we can see that they both contain \"\u5ef7\u8bae\u6b32\u589f\u5176\u5730,\" and the translator chose to use \"level the place\" instead of \"laying waste to it,\" which is a more direct translation. By doing this, the phrase in Stop 2 loses the emphasis placed by the mirroring of the phrase which lessens its effect to the reader. I think \"laying waste\" is a better translation, since it has a more severe and visceral imagery attached to the words.<\/p>\n

    The quote in Stop 7 is the exact same as the quote that appears to mark the section of the book, both in the translated and original text. However, in Stop 7 the quote follows You's story of A's apartment that You had borrowed; how over the years it had deteriorated until it was leveled. So, in this case, the Qing government is the new government in Taiwan (DPP) that is tearing down the buildings that You had lived in in her younger years.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1494,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-859","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/mtoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/mtoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/mtoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/mtoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1494"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/mtoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=859"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/mtoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/859\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1816,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/mtoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/859\/revisions\/1816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/mtoc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
