第一則：台股助攻退休基金大賺 2.7 兆！勞工平均分紅 11.6 萬
勞動基金運用局於 8 月 3 日公布，勞動基金、國保基金與退撫基金上半年合計賺進 2.7 兆元，其中勞動基金收益創下新高，顯示台股上漲與 AI 產業成長明顯推升退休基金績效，新制勞退平均每位勞工帳面增加約 11.6 萬元，也創下新高。
勞保基金規模也升至 1.6 兆元，有助提升退休保障並穩定勞保財務。勞動基金運用局預估全球股債市與台股將短暫修正，但基金仍採長期投資，並以企業基本面為依據。
Taiwan Stocks Lift Pension Fund Gains to NT$2.7 Trillion! Average Labor Pension Gain Reaches NT$116,000 per Worker
The Bureau of Labor Funds announced on August 3 that the Labor Fund, National Development Fund, and Public Service Pension Fund earned a total of NT$2.7 trillion in the first half of the year. The Labor Fund posted record-high gains, showing that Taiwan’s rising stock market and growth in the AI industry significantly boosted pension fund performance. Under the new labor pension system, each worker’s account gained about NT$116,000 on average, also a record high.
The Labor Insurance Fund also grew to NT$1.6 trillion, helping strengthen retirement protection and improve the financial stability of the labor insurance system.The Bureau of Labor Funds expects a short-term correction in global stock and bond markets, as well as Taiwan’s stock market. However, the funds will maintain a long-term investment strategy based on company fundamentals.
第二則：台糖油品驗出苯駢芘未通報！中聯與福懋油各罰 300 萬
台糖於 5 月 18 日發現採購的油品原料含有過量苯駢芘，卻只通知中聯與福懋油，三家公司都未立即向所在地主管機關通報，延誤問題油品的下架與回收。
台中市政府於 8 月 3 日認定中聯與福懋油違反食安法，因此各裁罰最高額 300 萬元。市府也將持續追查油品流向，確認問題產品是否已完成下架與回收。
Taiwan Sugar Corporation Oil Found with Excess Benzopyrene but Not Reported! Two Companies Fined NT$3 Million Each
On May 18, Taiwan Sugar Corporation found that an oil raw material it had purchased contained excessive levels of Benzopyrene. However, Taiwan Sugar Corporation only informed The Central Union Oil Corporation and The Formosa Oilseed Processing Corporation, and none of the three companies immediately reported the issue to their local authorities, delaying the removal and recall of the affected oil products.
On August 3, the Taichung City Government ruled that The Central Union Oil Corporation and The Formosa Oilseed Processing Corporation had violated Taiwan’s Food Safety Law and fined each company the maximum NT$3 million. The city government will continue tracing where the oil was distributed and confirm whether the affected products have been removed from shelves and recalled.
第三則：美國計畫關閉五處海外使館 民主黨憂中俄趁虛而入
美國國務院計畫關閉名古屋、棉蘭等 5 處海外外交據點。這次並非受到戰爭或其他特定地緣政治事件影響，卻同時撤掉多處外館，在美國外交史上相當少見。
川普政府認為小型外館成本高、效益有限，但民主黨與前外交官擔心，美國縮減外交布局後，可能削弱國際影響力。由於中國已在名古屋、棉蘭與聖喬治設有外交機構，中國與俄羅斯可能趁機擴大布局。
U.S. Plans to Close Five Overseas Embassies ! Democrats Fear China and Russia Could Fill the Gap
The U.S. State Department plans to close five overseas diplomatic offices, including those in Nagoya and Medan. The move is not connected to a war or any other specific geopolitical event, making the simultaneous closure of several offices highly unusual in U.S. diplomatic history.
The Trump administration believes that smaller offices are costly and offer limited value. However, Democrats and former diplomats worry that reducing America’s diplomatic presence could weaken its global influence. Since China already has diplomatic offices in Nagoya, Medan, and St. George’s, China and Russia may use the opportunity to expand their presence.
第四則：內向者討厭經營人脈？真誠互動才是關鍵
許多人討厭經營人脈，因為這種互動常讓人覺得刻意又不自然。對內向者來說，主動與陌生人交談更容易感到壓力，但現代職場變動快速，人脈仍是找工作、獲得資訊與拓展機會的重要方式。
專家指出，內向者其實擅長傾聽、觀察與提出問題。內向者不必勉強自己成為外向的人，只要平時真誠關心他人、記住對方近況，並持續保持聯繫，也能建立長久而有價值的人際關係。
Introverts Hate Networking? Genuine Connections Are the Key
Many people dislike networking because it often feels forced and unnatural. For introverts, starting conversations with strangers can be even more stressful. However, today’s workplace changes quickly, and networking remains an important way to find jobs, gain useful information, and discover new opportunities.
Experts point out that introverts are often good at listening, observing, and asking questions. Introverts do not need to force themselves to become extroverts. By showing genuine interest in others, keeping track of their latest updates, and staying in touch, they can still build long-lasting and valuable relationships.
第五則：中年危機有解方 在人生下半場找尋新定位
研究顯示，中年危機並非虛無的情緒，而是真實存在的科學現象。成年後的幸福感呈現 U 型曲線。生活滿意度通常在 20 多歲開始下降，並於 40 多歲達到谷底。
此階段的職場工作者，容易因比較心態產生強烈失落感。若要突破這個困境，可以重新盤點自己的能力、價值與目標，並設定小而可行的改變，或是透過擔任團隊的導師、培養工作外的興趣，找到職涯後半場的新定位。
Midlife Crisis Has Solutions, Finding a New Position in the Second Half of Life
Research shows that a midlife crisis is not illusory, but a real scientific phenomenon. Adult happiness follows a U-shaped curve. Life satisfaction usually begins to decline in a person’s 20s and reaches its lowest point in their 40s.
At this stage, workers are more likely to feel strong disappointment due to social comparison. To overcome this situation, people can reassess their abilities, values, and goals, and make small and practical changes. They can also take on the role of a mentor in a team or develop interests outside of work to find a new position in the second half of their career.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
-
Taiwan’s three major retirement funds earned NT$2.7 trillion in the first half, raising average new labor pension gains to NT$116,000 and strengthening labor insurance finances.
-
Taiwan Sugar Corporation and two suppliers failed to report excessive Benzopyrene in oil products, delaying recalls and leading to NT$3 million fines for each supplier.
-
The U.S. plans to close five overseas Embassies, raising concerns that China and Russia could expand their influence as America reduces its global presence.
-
Introverts can build valuable professional networks by using their strengths in listening, observing, and creating genuine, lasting connections.
-
A midlife crisis may reflect a natural dip in happiness, but people can move through it by reassessing their goals and finding new meaning in work and life.
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.
