Every day we walk through Taipei with travelers from all over the world.

我們每天都與來自世界各地的旅客在台北漫步。

They either don't know much about Taiwan or often see Taiwan as a mysterious island.

這些旅客不是對台灣不太了解，就是認為台灣是一座神秘的島嶼。

Today we invite seven of our tour guides to play a game - introducing Taiwanese history within three minutes.

我們今天邀請了七位導遊一起玩個遊戲——在三分鐘內介紹台灣。

Let's get started.

我們開始吧！

[Taiwanese history in a rush]

[台灣歷史快速接龍]

Taiwan has been colonized by many different countries.

台灣被許多不同國家統治過。

To begin with, it all started from the word — Formosa.

首先，這一切是從「福爾摩沙」這個名字開始的。

In 16th century, a bunch of Portuguese sailors passed Taiwan and said "Ilha Formosa."

一幫葡萄牙水手在 16 世紀經過台灣時，說出「福爾摩沙島」。

They came, they saw, but they didn't conquer.

他們來過並看過台灣，但他們沒有佔領台灣。

Before that, we already had aboriginal people live in Taiwan for thousands of years.

在那之前，台灣原住民早就已經在台灣生活數千年了。

But thanks to those Portuguese sailors, Taiwan was put on the map.

但多虧那些葡萄牙水手，台灣才會出現在地圖上。

The first foreign country to come to Taiwan, there were the Dutch in the 17th century.

荷蘭人是第一個來到台灣的外國人，他們在 17 世紀時抵達台灣。

But sadly for them, here came the Spanish two years later.

但對他們來說的壞消息是，西班牙人在兩年後也登陸台灣。

Two European countries on one tiny small island.

兩個歐洲國家聚集在同一個小小的島上。

Obviously, they fought.

顯而易見，他們打了一架。

After 20 years, Spanish was kicked out by Dutch.

20 年後，荷蘭人將西班牙人驅逐出臺灣。

And after 20 years, the Dutch was kicked out by Ming dynasty of China.

再過 20 年，中國明朝將荷蘭人逐出。

And after 20 years, the Ming dynasty of China was kicked out by Qing dynasty of China.

20 年之後，清朝又將明朝逐出。

It was the longest period in Taiwanese history.

清朝是台灣歷史中最長的一段時期。

Since that time, so many Chinese immigrants started to move to Taiwan, including my grandfather's grandfather.

從那時候開始，許多中國移民開始搬至台灣，包括我的曾曾祖父。

So as you all know, Qing dynasty was going downhill, and it was also when Taiwan was invaded by Japanese several times.

所以一如大家所知的，清朝開始衰弱的時候，日本多次入侵台灣。

So finally in 1895, Japan was the winner between the war of Qing dynasty and Japan.

終於在 1895 年，日本在與清朝之間的戰爭中獲勝。

So Qing dynasty gave Japan Taiwan.

所以清朝將台灣交給日本。

After WWII, Taiwan was handed back to China, which was under the Republic of China.

在二戰後，台灣又被交回給在中華民國政府統治下的中國。

However, at that time China was going through the civil war between the Communists and the Nationalists.

但是，那時中國正在經歷國共內戰。

The nationalists who were the Republic of China knew that they were going to lose the war so they relocated to Taiwan.

隸屬於中華民國政府的國民黨知道他們將要輸掉戰爭，所以他們搬遷至台灣。

On the other hand, the Communists established the People's Republic of China and stayed in mainland China.

另一方面，共產黨建立了中華人民共和國，並待在中國大陸。

Therefore, since then, there has been two China in the world and it is still an unresolved and controversial issue nowadays.

因此，從那時開始世界上有兩個中國，這仍然是今日一個未能解決且充滿爭議性的議題。

[Very easy, right?]

[很簡單吧！]
