關於acknowledge的字義，我覺得應該查詢一下字典的解釋，最好是那種英文解釋英文的純英文字典。另外，也應該區別一下英語字典跟美語字典可能有些微的字義差異。實際上澳洲英語的字義可能會跟英國英語的差別，來得比美國英語的差別更大。由於中美建交公報是「美式英文─簡體中文」的兩種文本，所以在確認外交用語的字義上若要做到精確、有效的程度，就應該回歸到正確的語言字典。下面我查了4個字典，其中科林氏字典有區分美國用法和英國用法，感覺上美國的用法， acknowledge的字義似乎確實比較沒有「承認」的意味，而是「接受、了解」的意味較重。不過其他3種字典則有些有查詢到「承認」的意思。我覺得這可能要對美國文學與美式英語用法進行更深入研究，會比較能得出具體有益的詮釋。以下是查尋的結果 (附上之前Lu331提供的AIT解釋頁面) 關於acknowledge的字義，查詢幾部網路字典的結果如下：【劍橋英語辭典】 https://dictionary.cambridge.org/zhs/ 查詢結果： (1)to accept, admit, or recognize something, or the truth or existence of something 承認；認可…屬實或存在 (2)to tell someone, usually in a letter or email, that you have received something they sent you （通過信函或電子郵件等）確認收悉【韋伯字典】 https://www.merriam-webster.com/ 查詢結果： Definition of acknowledge acknowledged; acknowledging transitive verb 1 : to recognize the rights, authority, or status of They acknowledged him as their leader. 2 : to disclose knowledge of or agreement with She readily acknowledged her mistake. 3 a : to express gratitude or obligation for acknowledge a gift 3 b : to take notice of failed to acknowledge my greeting c : to make known the receipt of acknowledge a letter 4 : to recognize as genuine or valid acknowledge a debt 【牛津學生字典】 https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/ 查詢結果： (1)admit to accept that something is true (2)accept status to accept that somebody/something has a particular authority or status (3)reply to letter acknowledge something to tell somebody that you have received something that they sent to you (4)smile/wave acknowledge somebody/something to show that you have noticed somebody/something by smiling, waving, etc. (5)express thanks acknowledge something to publicly express thanks for help you have been given 【科林氏字典】 https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english 查詢結果： (1)acknowledge in British 1.

Law to admit or affirm as genuine; certify in legal form 【美國在臺協會官網資料】 https://web-archive-2017.ait.org.tw/zh/officialtext-ot0926.html 我能肯定美國在北京私下和公開發表的聲明，包括《美中聯合聲明》，不代表美國對台灣主權的立場有任何改變。美國對台灣地位的立場，包含在美國與中國從1972年到1979年簽署的《聯合公報》之中，在公報中聲明了美國「認知中國的立場，即只有一個中國，台灣是中國的一部分」。這也是美國最後一次對於台灣的地位發表聲明。過去三十七年來，美國明白表示「認知」不代表認可、不代表接受，除了「認知」以外不代表任何意義。過去三十七年來，有許多場合都有人對美國施壓，要求美國在台灣主權問題上採取更明確的立場，美國從來都不曾同意。美國向來敦促任何台灣海峽兩岸之間的議題，都應該和平解決，並且得到海峽兩岸人民的同意 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.25.24.249 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/historia/M.1525008064.A.ADE.html ※ 編輯: asbak (114.25.24.249), 04/29/2018 21:21:47
