第一則:領袖哈米尼身亡 伊朗揚言發動史上最大反擊
美國與以色列聯手對伊朗發動大規模空襲,擊斃最高領袖哈米尼,伊朗宣告全力報復,揚言發動史上最大攻勢,並襲擊中東多處目標及美國航艦林肯號。
川普警告勿輕舉妄動,否則將強烈回擊,並表示行動持續至達成目標,證實已有三名美軍陣亡。黎巴嫩真主黨亦發射火箭參戰,中東衝突升級,美國多座城市加強防恐警戒。
Supreme Leader Khamenei Confirmed Dead, Iran Warns of Biggest Retaliation in History
The United States and Israel carried out a large-scale joint airstrike on Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Iran vowed full retaliation, warning of the largest offensive in its history and attacking targets across the Middle East, including the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.
President Trump warned Iran not to take further action and said the United States would respond with strong force. He confirmed three U.S. soldiers were killed and said operations would continue until goals were met. Lebanon’s Hezbollah launched rockets as the conflict escalated, and several major U.S. cities increased anti-terrorism security.
第二則:美伊衝突衝擊市場 全球油價金價陷入震盪
伊朗官媒證實最高領袖哈米尼身亡,宣布全國哀悼四十天,並對駐有美軍基地國家展開報復,區域緊張升溫,衝突牽動全球市場與資金流向。
若伊朗封鎖荷姆茲海峽,油價恐飆升並加劇通膨,壓縮石化與航空業利潤。金融市場方面,台股短期內將面臨壓力,避險資金湧入黃金與美債,未來二十四至四十八小時成金價走勢關鍵。
US Iran Tensions Shake Markets, Oil and Gold Prices Swing Widely
Iranian state media confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and announced forty days of national mourning. Iran then carried out retaliatory actions against countries hosting U.S. military bases, raising regional tensions. The conflict has affected global markets and capital flows.
If Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices could rise sharply and increase inflation, reducing profits in the petrochemical and airline industries. In financial markets, Taiwan’s stock market may face short-term pressure, while safe haven funds move into gold and U.S. Treasuries. The next 24 to 48 hours will be key for gold prices.
第三則:酷澎財報現警訊!由盈轉虧市值蒸發 140 億美元
酷澎最新財報顯示,營收成長低於預期並由盈轉虧,主因受到嚴重個資外洩衝擊,活躍用戶下滑,市值蒸發 140 億美元,雖稱台灣市場持續擴張,但未公布旺季與雙十一成長數據。
此外,高層對台灣的說法由新客成長轉為用戶參與度,未提付費會員留存率,顯示獲客放緩,同時因自建車隊覆蓋七成地區,提高固定成本,若持續補貼將擴大虧損,營收與獲利平衡面臨考驗。
Coupang Financial Alert! Market Value Drops 14 Billion Dollars
Coupang’s latest earnings report shows revenue growth below expectations and a shift from profit to loss, mainly due to a major data breach. Active users declined, and its market value fell by $14 billion. Although it says the Taiwan market is still expanding, it did not disclose growth figures for the peak season or Double Eleven.
In addition, senior management shifted its focus in Taiwan from new customer growth to user engagement and did not mention retention rates for paid members, suggesting slower customer acquisition. At the same time, its self built delivery fleet now covers 70 percent of the region, raising fixed costs. If subsidies continue, losses will expand, and the balance between revenue growth and profitability will face pressure.
第四則:與主管意見相左?當面爭辯不如用數據證明
職場若與主管意見不合,當下反駁往往難以奏效,既無法讓對方聽進建議,也容易因理由準備不足而引發衝突,若希望改變決策,在可行情況下同步推進主管與自身方案,於中期報告時以數據客觀比較成效。
面對責備時可先承受壓力,待問題解決後再以證據澄清,若主管判斷失誤,部屬應反思當初論述是否充分,藉此提升向上溝通與說服能力。
Different Opinion from Your Supervisor? Win with Data Not Debate
When you disagree with your supervisor, an immediate argument is often ineffective and may cause conflict if your reasons are not ready. If you want to change a decision, carry out both your supervisor’s plan and your own when possible, and use data in a midterm report to compare the results objectively.
When facing criticism, accept the pressure first and clarify with evidence after the issue is resolved. If a supervisor makes a wrong decision, employees should reflect on whether their earlier explanation was complete and improve their upward communication and persuasion skills.
第五則:虛無企鵝引共鳴!投射現代人渴望擺脫群體束縛
近期一段「虛無企鵝」的影片在社群媒體引發熱議,畫面中,一隻阿德利企鵝脫離覓食群體,獨自轉向內陸前行,生物學家指出即使將其帶回,牠仍會堅持這段死亡行軍。
該畫面引發大量網友共鳴,不少人將其解讀為「不再假裝」的象徵,認為企鵝義無反顧的背影,映照出現代人渴望擺脫群體壓力、追尋純粹自由的心理投射。
The Nihilism Penguin Sparks Resonance! Reflecting a Desire to Break Free from Group Pressure
A video known as the “Nihilistic Penguin” has recently drawn wide attention on social media. The footage shows an Adélie penguin leaving its foraging group and heading inland on its own. Biologists say that even if the penguin were taken back, it would still continue on this fatal journey.
The scene resonated with many online viewers, with some interpreting it as a symbol of “no longer pretending.” They saw the penguin’s determined walk away as reflecting a modern desire to escape group pressure and seek a sense of pure freedom.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
After the United States and Israel attacked Iran and killed its Supreme Leader, the region faced serious escalation and wider military action.
The killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader triggered retaliation and increased pressure on global energy supply and investment markets.
Coupang recorded lower than forecast revenue and a return to losses due to a significant data breach, with slower customer expansion and higher costs weighing on its Taiwan business.
In workplace conflicts, responding calmly, presenting evidence, and reflecting on communication can help employees handle disagreements with supervisors.
The “Nihilistic Penguin” video has gained attention online, as people connect its lone journey with a desire to escape group expectations.
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.
