翻译文本 - English英语 Advocates of deliberative democracy argue that pooling the collective wisdom of citizens through debate and deliberation not only avoids the perils of a “knowledge dictatorship” by technocrats (the democratic principle) but can also raise the quality of democratic decision making by way of the pursuit of the “common good” through rational argumentation (the knowledge principle). Deliberative democracy is therefore said to combine the principles of “deliberation” and “diversity” to achieve both democratic participation and professionalism in the public decision-making process. However, this paper argues that in the literature on democratic deliberation, there is a contradiction between the democratic principle and the knowledge principle. This is mainly because the theoretical literature lacks an epistemology of rational deliberation. The paper then goes on to argue that professional or specialized knowledge is believed to be superior to more general forms of knowledge due to an intellectual tradition that supposes the former is logically valid and empirically objective. However, the concept of an “objective” empirical knowledge is theory-laden, while the idea of “logically validity” can only be understood in the context of a wider system of mutually supporting theory. Therefore, the true value of knowledge is inherently uncertain. This uncertainty opens the possibility of multiple rival “rational” points of view. In order to arrive at a consensus and make policy decisions, it is necessary to decide between various competing positions, all of them claiming to be “rational.” Ultimately, the decision on which of these positions to adopt comes down to the issue of power. Therefore, although deliberative democracy can be viewed as the democratization of the authority to make decisions on public policy, it is also a form of power domination reproduced by certain forms of knowledge. In the final part, we consider the example of the citizen consensus conference on the Kaohsiung Cross-Harbor Cable Car project and seek to explain how historical production of knowledge and power impacted the organization, deliberative process, and final consensus produced by these meetings.
Chinese汉语译成English英语: Survey on Relationship with Suppliers General field: 社会科学 Detailed field: 商务/商业（普通）
翻译文本 - English英语 This population for this study is 1,500 major manufacturing companies. Half the population, or 750 companies, are selected by random sampling. In each business, either a manager in the purchasing department who is responsible for communicating with suppliers or a senior member of staff responsible for purchasing is selected to answer questions based on their experience of interacting with their company’s most important suppliers. In order to show cross-validation across time, questionnaires were distributed in two stages. The first stage took place on April 15, 2006 and the second stage took place on April 15, 2007. After each questionnaire was distributed, a follow up was made if necessary. In the first stage, a total of 211 questionnaires were returned giving an effective response rate of 28.13%. In the second stage, a total of 215 questionnaires were returned, giving an effective response rate of 28.7%.
I am a Chinese (simplified and traditional) to English translator. I am from the UK and have been based in Taiwan since 2004. I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from National Taiwan University and have worked in translation since 2007.
My academic translations have appeared in many peer-reviewed journals across a range of disciplines, including Applied Mathematics and Information Sciences, Applied Mechanics and Materials, Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, The International Journal of Cultural and Creative Industries, Journal of Sustainable Development, and Asian Survey. I also do translation work in other fields, including legal, tourism, marketing, finance, business, commerce, and manufacturing.
Recent projects include the translation of exhibits and visitor information for the Ching-kuo Chi-hai Cultural Park and Chiang Ching-kuo Presidential Library in Taipei, Taiwan.
In June 2020, I set up WB Languages, Co. Ltd. to serve Taiwanese customers seeking Chinese–English translation and editing of English documents.
I have a part-time role as Head Translator for Du Chinese (a Chinese learning app), responsible for managing a team of translators and ensuring translation quality.
Aside from translation work, I also teach political science part-time at National Taiwan University.
