Months before his death in 1988,Taiwan's last dictator,Chiang Kai-shek's son Chiang Ching-kuo,allowed the nation to become a democracy.It was at this time that Ma Ying-jeou,the future president,first made his mark on the international scene. 在1988年他過世前的幾個月，這位台灣最後的獨裁者，蔣介石的兒子蔣經國，允許讓這個國家走向民主。也在同一時間，馬英九，這位未來總統，首次在國際舞台被注意到。
Ma came from one of the families that had followed General Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan,and Ma's father had decided that his only son's life would have national purpose.The expectation were great.Ma was forced to study Chinese classics after school every day,and pressured to perfect his calligraphy.Ma's father also made him run daily to rid him of any laziness.
馬來自於一個跟隨統帥蔣介石來台的家庭，馬的父親決定讓他唯一的兒子的一生獻給國家。這是個偉大的期望！馬被迫每天在放學後讀中國古典文學，並被強壓著熟練書法。馬的父親讓他每天沒有一絲一毫的怠惰。
While Ma hated every minute of it,the experience did instill a certain discipline.He obtained a law degree from NYU and a doctorate from Harvard before returing to Taiwan to teach.There,at age 37,Ma became the former dictator's protege.The two shared a deeply held desire to reunite China and Taiwan under the banner of democracy.
當時馬無時無刻不痛恨這些（訓練），這些經驗確實灌輸了一種準確紀律。在他返回台灣教書之前，他在紐約大學獲得法律學位在哈佛得到博士學位。那時他37歲，馬變成了前任獨裁者的門徒。這兩項（經歷）深刻地散播於他想將中國與台灣統一在民主旗幟之下的執著渴望。
Ma Knew that the first step was getting the two nations on speaking terms again.Using his legal expertise,he drafted what would become known as the "1992 Consensus",a masterpiece of diplomatic ambiguity.It declared there to be only "one China",but let both countries interpret the phrase however they pleased.The flexibleagreement opened up a dialogue with China that led to increased commerce between the two nations.It also helpd Ma gain a reputation as a savvy politician,which along with his general handsomeness,got him elected mayor of Taipei in 1998.(In a poll of Taipei women,asking which public figure they would most like to father their children,Ma was the resounding winner.)
馬知道第一件事是讓兩國重新友好。他使用他的法律專業，草擬了一份眾所周知的「九二共識」，那是集結所有外交曖昧詞句的名著！它公告說「世上只有一個中國」，但兩個國家可依自己需要作各自表述。這份靈活的協議打開了與中國對話之門，增進了兩個國家的經貿往來。它同時也讓馬得到了機智政客的評價，就如同他那張俊俏的臉，讓他1998年選上台北市長。（在台北女人的民調中，問她們哪位公眾人物她們希望他成為自己孩子的父親，馬遠遠領先其他人。）
Yet,mending fences with China would not prove simple.Ever since Taiwan Became a democracy in 1987,there has been a sizable political.
至今，與中國修補籬笆的工作被證明了沒那麼容易。自從1987年台灣走向民主以來，那裡一直是個大小適中的政治實體。

請問一下這一大段內文對馬英九是諷刺還是讚美！？
