Taiwan's presidential candidates unite after apology by K-pop singer Chou Tzu-yu over flag scandal(醜聞)
從用scandal這個字可以看出來這篇文章作者的觀點

A tearful apology by 16-year-old K-pop singer Chou Tzuyu for waving the Taiwanese flag in an online-only segment of a South Korean reality show has sparked a rare show of unity among the presidential candidates from Taiwan's three major political parties.

Chinese netizens were angered after Tzuyu was seen waving the South Korean flag in one hand and the Taiwanese flag in the other, with many accusing her of profiting from her mainland Chinese audience while holding a pro-independence stance.

unite: 團結 (EX; United States of America=很多 states(州)團結而變成美國)  unite (V) unity (N)
sparked a rare show of unity: 引起罕見的團結 (rare=罕見)
tearful: 含淚的、聲淚俱下 (影片好像沒那麼誇張?!)

第一句很長，意思其實很簡單: 16歲韓國流行歌手周子瑜為了她在南韓實境秀揮舞國旗含淚道歉，而這引起了臺灣三位主要政黨候選人罕見的團結。(我翻譯的可能有點不順~不過意思到了:P)

netizen: 又出現這個有趣的字了! net+citizen=netizen 網民
accuse...of: 控訴、指控
profit from: 獲取利潤

pro: 支持 pro-independence=支持獨立

stance: 立場

第二句也很長...意思是: 大陸網民看到她一手揮南韓國旗一手揮臺灣國旗後被激怒了，許多人指控她從大陸觀眾那裡賺錢卻又支持臺獨。

In the video, which has since been viewed on Youtube more than 3 million times, a sombre Tzuyu apologizes in front of the camera for her actions. “There is only one China and the two sides are one,” she said.

sombre: 嚴肅

The controversy over the 16-year-old K-pop star brought the island's three presidential candidates to come to her defense as Taiwanese went to the polls for the island's presidential and legislative elections.

controversy: 爭議
bring...to come to one's defense: 讓...替她辯護
