WDCTS-TCML (Washington D.C. Taiwanese School -Taiwan Center for Mandarin Learning) Conversation Class Note - Oct 8, 2023

 




 



We engaged the oral expressions with Mandarin speaking  in the class.  The following are covered.

我們在課堂上用華語進行口語表達。 以下內容。

Wǒmen zài kètáng shàng yòng huáyǔ jìnxíng kǒuyǔ biǎodá. Yǐxià nèiróng.

Taiwan’s hotels are sometimes called “wine shop” - do not sell liquor, but can serve the liquor

Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation (TTL; Chinese: 臺灣菸酒股份有限公司; pinyin: Táiwān Yān Jiǔ Gǔfèn Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī), is a state-owned manufacturer and distributor of cigarettes and alcohol, and also formerly (until 2002) a state-sanctioned alcohol beverage brewing and retailing monopoly, in Taiwan. Its most famous product is Taiwan Beer. Other products include wine, Japanese-style liqueurs, Chinese herb liqueurs, and various distilled spirits.

Taiwan Tobacco and Wine Monopoly Bureau 灣菸酒公賣局 (1947 – 2002) was a government agency established during Japanese colonial rule. In 2002, it was renamed as Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation 臺灣菸酒股份有限公司.  From 1947 to 1968, the Bureau specialized in all alcohol, tobacco and camphor products sold in Taiwan. Before Taiwan joined the WTO in 2002, it retained monopolies on tobacco and alcohol. And it also changed the word in Chinese  "smoke from「煙」to「菸".

Conclusion - After 12 years of hard work, Taiwan officially joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) on January 1, 2002. In order to implement its commitment to join the WTO, the tobacco and alcohol monopoly system was finally abolished. On July 1 of the same year, the Public Sales Bureau was restructured into "Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Co., Ltd." and became a state-owned enterprise with production and sales as its main business.


 灣的“飯店”中文一般稱為“酒店”- 不賣酒, 但可以提供酒給客人喝

臺灣菸酒股份有限公司(TTL;中文:臺灣菸酒股份有限公司;拼音:Táiwān Yān Jiǔ Gǔfèn Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī)是一家國有捲菸和酒類製造商和分銷商,也曾是(截至2002 年)國有企業。臺灣批准酒精飲料釀造和零售壟斷。 其最著名的品是台灣啤酒。 其他品包括葡萄酒、日式利口酒、中藥利口酒以及各種蒸餾酒。

臺灣菸酒公賣局(1947 – 2002)是日本殖民統治時期設立的政府機構。 2002年,更名為台灣菸酒股份有限公司臺灣菸酒股份有限公司。 1947年至1968年間,該局專門負責所有在臺灣銷售的酒類、菸草和樟腦品。 台灣2002年加入世貿組織之前,保留了菸酒的壟斷地位。 它保留了菸草和酒類的壟斷權。並將「煙」字一律改為「菸

結論 - 經過12年的努力,臺灣於200211日正式加入世界貿易組織(WTO),為執行加入WTO之承諾,菸酒專賣制度終告廢止。 同年71日,公賣局改制為「臺灣菸酒股份有限公司」,成為以生產銷售為本業的國營事

"The Grand Hotel Taipei" is a landmark located in Zhongshan District, Taipei City, Taiwan. The hotel was established in May 1952.

Yuanshan (The Round Mountain), formerly known as  (Taiwanese: Îⁿ Soaⁿ-á,)  this name is still used. It’s located between Shilin/Dazhi, Taipei City, Taiwan.  It is an independent, and self-standing small hill on the south bank of the Keelung River. The hill was originally named "Da-Long-Dong Mountain" or "Da-Long Mountain". Its name comes from the branch of the Pingpu ethnic group that originally lived in this area. The Hokkien transliteration of "Da-Lang Pump Society" of the Ke-Ta-Ga-Lan people is said to be. Due to the Feng Shui (The way of wind and water in terms of Taoism) is like a dragon, they adopted it as "Da-Long-Long". Later, because of the gentle hills, it was renamed "Yuanshan-The Round Mountain" by later generations and is still used today.

"The Grand Hotel Taipei" is a fourteen-story palace-style building facing the Keelung River, with Yangmingshan in the back, Songshan to the east, and Tamsui to the west. Standing halfway up Yuanshan Mountain, with towering red pillars and gilded tiles, it is magnificent, beautiful, and classical in style. It is a treasure that cannot be missed in Chinese culture. The Grand Hotel in Taipei is also known as the "Red Mansion".

When you drive or take a car in Taipei, you won’t overlook this red historical building.
