第一則：日本熊本強震奪 34 命 台灣與美國隨時準備援助
日本熊本縣於 7 月 28 日發生規模 7.1 強震，截至 7 月 30 日已有 34 人喪命。罹難者主要集中在震後發生爆炸的永旺夢樂城熊本，以及煙囪倒塌的造紙工廠，搜救人員仍在持續搶救中。
美國國務院致上慰問，表示美國隨時準備提供援助。行政院長卓榮泰也已要求特搜隊整備待命，若日方正式請求，可在 4 小時內出發支援，目前也已開設賑災專戶接受民眾捐款。
Kumamoto Earthquake Kills 34, Taiwan and U.S. Ready to Offer Aid
A magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck Kumamoto prefecture in Japan on July 28, killing 34 people as of July 30. Most of the victims were found at Aeon Mall Kumamoto, where an explosion occurred after the quake, and at a paper factory where a chimney collapsed. Rescue workers are still continuing search and rescue efforts.
The U.S. State Department expressed its condolences and said the United States is ready to provide assistance at any time. Premier Cho Jung-tai has also ordered search and rescue teams to stand by. If Japan makes a formal request, the teams can depart within four hours. Taiwan has also opened a disaster relief account to accept public donations.
第二則：外洩 2 奈米機密！台積電前工程師遭駁回上訴全案定讞
台積電四名前工程師涉嫌竊取二奈米核心技術，其中陳力銘、陳韋傑不服一審判決提出上訴，但最高法院駁回，全案定讞，兩人將直接發監執行。
法院認定，陳力銘離職後轉往台灣東京威力。為了提升工作表現，他請仍在台積電任職的前同事翻拍機密文件，希望藉此幫公司爭取更多機會。此案涉及國家核心關鍵技術，嚴重影響台積電先進製程競爭力與國家安全。台灣東京威力也因監督不周，被判罰金並附條件緩刑。
2-Nanometer Secrets Leaked! Former TSMC Engineers Lose Appeal as Case Is Finalized
Four former TSMC engineers were accused of stealing core technologies related to 2-nanometer manufacturing processes. Among them, Chen Li-ming and Chen Wei-chieh appealed the first ruling, but Taiwan’s Supreme Court rejected them, finalizing the case. The two will be sent directly to prison.
The court found that after leaving his job, Chen Li-ming joined Tokyo Electron Taiwan. In order to improve his work performance, he asked a former colleague who was still employed at TSMC to photograph confidential documents, hoping to help his company secure more business opportunities. The case involved national core key technologies and seriously affected TSMC’s competitiveness in advanced processes as well as national security. Tokyo Electron Taiwan was also fined and given a conditional suspended sentence for failing to properly supervise its employee.
第三則：獲利創新高！保險業上半年大賺 3,094 億
金管會公布保險業上半年營運概況，整體獲利達 3,094 億元，表現創下歷年同期新高。其中壽險與產險業都維持穩健獲利，營運成果相當亮眼。
金管會表示，受惠於資本市場表現、台債殖利率上升帶動負債下降，壽險業淨值也持續創新高。不過，匯率波動仍是保險業需要面對的壓力。金管會也指出，相關外匯準備金已首度突破 1 兆元，可提升業者面對匯率變動的緩衝能力。
Insurance Industry Profits Hit New High! Earning NT$309.4 Billion in the First Half
The Financial Supervisory Commission released the insurance industry’s operating results for the first half of the year. Overall profits reached NT$309.4 billion, setting a new record for the same period. Both the life insurance and non-life insurance sectors maintained steady profits, showing strong operating performance.
The FSC said life insurers also saw their net worth reach a new high, supported by capital market performance and a drop in liabilities caused by rising Taiwan government bond yields. However, exchange rate fluctuations remain a pressure that the insurance industry must face. The FSC also noted that related foreign exchange reserves have exceeded NT$1 trillion for the first time, strengthening insurers’ ability to absorb exchange rate risks.
第四則：主管別再逃避！五大責任決定團隊成敗
美國管理專家指出，主管有五項責任不能交給別人，包括領導團隊、管理部屬、面對問題時直言無諱、開好團隊會議，以及持續反覆與員工溝通。
主管必須親自設定方向、處理問題，也要不斷說明公司目標、目前狀況與每位成員的角色。只有讓資訊透明、責任清楚，團隊才能有效決策、保持一致並提升工作效率。
Managers Must Stop Avoiding Responsibility! Five Duties Can Decide a Team’s Success
A U.S. management expert says managers have five duties that cannot be handed to others. These include leading the team, managing employees, speaking honestly when problems arise, running effective team meetings, and communicating with staff repeatedly and consistently.
Managers must personally set the direction and deal with problems. They must also keep explaining the company’s goals, its current situation, and the role of each team member. Only when information is open and responsibilities are clear can a team make effective decisions, stay united, and improve work efficiency.
第五則：沒人支持卻人人照做？多數無知如何綁架真實心聲
「多數無知」是一種心理現象，讓我們把旁人的沉默誤解為認同，實際上大家只是害怕與眾不同或恐懼被孤立，進而做出違反真實意見的從眾行為。
這種現象常出現在課堂、飲酒文化與社交場合。要打破這個惡性循環非常簡單，只要有任何一個人願意勇敢站出來、誠實發聲，沉默的高牆就會瞬間瓦解。
Nobody Supports It but Everyone Does It? How Pluralistic Ignorance Hijacks Our True Voices
“Pluralistic ignorance” is a psychological phenomenon that causes us to misinterpret the silence of others as approval. In reality, many people may simply be afraid of being different or isolated, so they engage in conformity even when it goes against their true opinions.
This phenomenon frequently appears in classrooms, drinking cultures, and social settings. Breaking this vicious cycle can be surprisingly simple. As long as one person is willing to stand up and speak honestly, the wall of silence can quickly fall apart.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
The powerful Kumamoto earthquake had killed 34 people as of July 30, with rescue efforts still underway and Taiwan and the United States ready to provide assistance if needed.
The TSMC tech leak case was finalized after the Supreme Court rejected the appeals, highlighting serious risks to advanced chip technology and national security.
Taiwan’s insurance industry earned NT$309.4 billion in the first half of the year, setting a new record while still needing to manage ongoing exchange rate risks.
Managers must lead their teams, manage employees, address problems honestly, run effective meetings, and communicate clearly to improve teamwork and efficiency.
The psychological concept of “pluralistic ignorance” explains why individuals conform to norms they privately reject, revealing that breaking collective silence requires just one person to speak up honestly.
In the next episode, we will together explore the recent hot news with you in the morning. Don’t forget to come back. Have a nice day and hear me next time. Bye.
