馬英九在辯論會中承諾，以增加與大陸的貿易往來作為解決方案，並且在中國與台灣之間引進直航。
But for both parties, the 2008 elections represent a successful transfer of power from the Democratic Progressive Party or DPP to the KMT. Opponent Frank Hsieh acknowledged defeat on Saturday and congratulated Ma on his win.
但是對民進黨與國民黨兩造而言，2008選舉代表權力成功地從民進黨轉移至國民黨。反對黨的謝長廷在週六承認挫敗，並且恭賀馬英九勝選。
Hsieh’s defeat marks the end of 8 years of DPP rule under current President Chen Shui-bian. During his two-term presidency, Chen led an international campaign to strengthen Taiwan’s national sovereignty and gain entry into the United Nations.
謝長廷的挫敗象徵著民進黨在陳水扁當總統的八年統治期結束。在陳水扁兩屆的總統任期中，他領導國際性的活動，為了加強台灣的國家主權，以及進入聯合國。@*
