2016 年 11月 9日，韩国总统 朴槿惠 被弹劾离职， 因为她的一位女性朋友利用她们的友谊获取私利。 今年早些时候, 8月31日， 智利 的 女总统 Dilma Rousseff 亦被弹劾离职， 她之前任职主席的一间能源公司出了丑闻， 荷兰人以贿赂 Petrobras 公司的方法得到了离岸油气开采的合同， 虽然很多证据显示 Rousseff 与此无关，但是她还是被弹劾了。
On November 9, 2016, South Korean President Park Geun-hye was impeached and resigned because a close friend of hers used their friendship to gain private benefits. Earlier this year on August 31, Chile's female president Dilma Rousseff was also impeached and resigned. A scandal involving an energy company she previously chaired had occurred, and the Dutch used bribery to obtain contracts for offshore oil and gas exploration with Petrobras. Although much evidence suggested that Rousseff was not involved in the scandal, she was still impeached.
韩国北方的 兄弟国家 朝鲜 则在 朴总统离职前一个月进行了第五次核试验， 这一次试验爆炸的当量大约是 一万吨 TNT， 并且朝鲜还测试了核武器运载工具 弹道导弹， 虽然远远无法威胁美国本土， 但是射向 韩国、日本还是可以的。 这让美国 对流氓国家的战争与约束显得费力不讨好， 或者说浪费军力又收效甚微。
North of Korea, the brotherly country, carried out its fifth nuclear test a month before President Park's resignation. This time, the explosive yield of the test was approximately one ton of TNT. Additionally, North Korea tested its nuclear weapon delivery vehicle, a ballistic missile. While it could not pose a threat to the United States mainland, it could target South Korea and Japan. This situation has made the efforts of the U.S. in waging war or exerting restraint against rogue states seem futile, or worse, wasteful of military resources with little成效。
韩国 与 朝鲜、中国与台湾 的对比都说明同样的语言文字 在不同社会结构中的功能差异。 一种文字似乎无法自我选择 究竟是骗人禁锢思想 还是成为现代文明的载体， 而中国和简体中文则明显的倾向于走去朝鲜的方向。
The comparison between South Korea and North Korea, and between China and Taiwan, illustrates the functional differences of the same language in different social structures. It seems that a text cannot choose on its own whether it is meant to deceive and enslave思想还是成为现代文明的载体， 而中国和简体中文则明显倾向于走向朝鲜的方向。 note: "思想" is directly translated as "thought," but in this context, it might be better understood if left untranslated or provided with an English explanation.
这一年的 诺贝尔和平奖 授予了哥伦比亚 总统 Juan Santos, 他在 2010 年第一次当选总统时就誓言要打败 游击队武装， 马克思 游击队 FARC 已经和政府军打了半个世纪的内战。 但是在总统任上他改变了主意开始和平谈判，直到今年 8 月份， 双方终于达成的和平方案包含六大要点，民众一开始很兴奋， 但是接着该方案被前总统猛烈抨击，并且在国民公投中被否决。 Santos 却并没有停息，他充分展示了一位优秀政客的素质， 即要努力发誓又要懂得变通， 在 11 月底又达成了另一份和平方案。 新方案最大的变化可能是不再需要国民公投、可以直接由国会批准了。 不论如何，人们期待这一份方案的效果， 长年的内战中已经累积造成了数十万人的死亡。
In that year, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Colombian President Juan Santos, who had vowed during his first election in 2010 to defeat the guerrilla group FARC, which had been at war with government forces for half a century. However, during his presidency, he changed his mind and began peace negotiations, until August of that year, when both parties finally reached an agreement containing six key points. Initially, people were excited about it, but then it was harshly criticized by the previous president and rejected in a national referendum. Santos did not stop there; he demonstrated the qualities of an excellent politician by persistently vowing and being adaptable, and reached another peace agreement at the end of November. The biggest change in the new plan might be that it no longer requires a national referendum but can be approved directly by Congress. Regardless, people look forward to the effects of this plan, as long-term civil war has already claimed the lives of tens of thousands.
