第一則：美創投家稱台灣 18 個月後不再重要 引爆爭議
美國創投家帕里哈皮提亞近日在 Podcast 節目中表示，台灣在 18 個月後恐失去半導體戰略重要性，引發各界批評。他認為美國晶片技術已逐漸追上台灣，未來對台依賴可能下降。
不過，多位學者與專家反駁，指出台灣的重要性不只在晶片，更涉及民主價值與印太戰略地位。專家也強調，半導體競爭核心不只是奈米製程，還包括良率、供應鏈與長期累積的技術能力。
U.S. Venture Capitalist Says Taiwan May Lose Importance in 18 Months, Sparks Debate
U.S. venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya recently said on a podcast that Taiwan may lose its strategic importance in the semiconductor industry within 18 months, drawing criticism from many people. He believes that U.S. chip technology is gradually catching up with Taiwan, and future dependence on Taiwan may decrease.
However, many scholars and experts disagreed. They said Taiwan’s importance is not only about semiconductors, but also about democratic values and its strategic position in the Indo-Pacific region. Experts also stressed that the core strength of the semiconductor industry is not only the nanometer process, but also yield rates, supply chains, and long-term technical experience.
第二則：川普警告伊朗 不談判恐遭毀滅性攻擊
美國總統川普警告伊朗，若持續拒絕與美國達成和平協議，恐面臨嚴重軍事後果。美國媒體報導，川普於 5 月 19 日召開國安會議，討論對伊朗的軍事行動方案。
目前美伊停火談判仍陷入僵局，伊朗要求黎巴嫩先達成長期停火，美國則提出限制核設施與轉移濃縮鈾等條件，雙方分歧持續升高中東緊張局勢。
Trump Warns Iran of Destructive Attack if No Deal Is Reached
U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran that if Iran continues to reject a peace agreement with the United States, it could face serious military action. U.S. media reported that Trump held a National Security Council on May 19 to discuss possible military action plans against Iran.
At present, ceasefire talks between the United States and Iran remain deadlocked. Iran is demanding a long-term ceasefire in Lebanon first, while the United States has proposed conditions including limits on nuclear facilities and the transfer of enriched uranium. The disagreements continue to raise tensions in the Middle East.
第三則：烏克蘭大規模無人機襲俄羅斯 單日近 600 架創紀錄
俄羅斯表示，烏克蘭在一夜之間出動近 600 架無人機攻擊俄羅斯境內，俄方稱共有 4 人死亡，這也是俄烏戰爭以來規模最大的無人機攻勢之一。
烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基表示，此次行動是回應俄軍近期轟炸基輔的「正當報復」。烏克蘭也強調，將持續提升長程打擊能力，擴大對俄羅斯軍事目標的攻擊。
Ukraine Launches Massive Drone Attack on Russia, Nearly 600 Drones Used in One Day
Russia said that Ukraine launched nearly 600 drones in overnight attacks across Russian territory. Russian officials said four people were killed, and the attack became one of the largest drone operations since the Russia-Ukraine war began.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the operation was a “justified response” to recent Russian attacks on Kyiv. Ukraine also said it will continue to strengthen its long-range strike ability and expand attacks on Russian military targets.
第四則：情緒領導力關鍵 看見問題也看見努力
在高壓職場中，領導人往往被訓練成能快速解決問題的人，但過度指責與催促，可能削弱團隊信任與安全感。專家指出，情緒領導力的重要起點，是在看見問題時，也能看見團隊成員正在付出努力。
成熟的領導人能夠指出問題，也願意提供支持與表達感謝。透過建立信任與鼓勵成長，領導人能形塑更健康的團隊文化，並提升團隊合作與長期績效。
Emotional Leadership, Seeing Effort While Seeing Problems
In high-pressure workplaces, leaders are often trained to solve problems quickly. However, too much blame and pressure may weaken trust and psychological safety within a team. Experts say the starting point of emotional leadership is the ability to see problems while also recognizing the effort made by team members.
Mature leaders can point out problems while also offering support and expressing appreciation. By building trust and encouraging growth, leaders can create a healthier team culture and improve teamwork and long-term performance.
第五則：一年怎麼又過了？試試假日悖論讓記憶變深刻
成年人常感嘆時間過得飛快，而童年卻顯得漫長。科學家指出，兒童大腦神經迴路仍在發育，傳導速度較慢，使時間感較為緩慢；相較之下，成年人大腦已成熟，日常生活趨於重複，接觸的新事物減少，主觀感受上覺得時間加速流逝。
心理學家提出「假日悖論」，透過學習新技能、嘗試新料理或探索新地點，增加生活新鮮感，睡前回顧當天的經歷，專注當下，讓記憶更深刻，以延展時間的主觀感受。
Why Does Time Fly Each Year? Try the Holiday Paradox to Make Memories Last
Adults often feel that time flies, while childhood seems to last much longer. Scientists explain that children’s brain circuits are still developing and process information more slowly, making time feel slower. In contrast, adult brains are fully developed, and daily life becomes more routine, with fewer new experiences, creating the sense that time is speeding up.
Psychologists have proposed the “holiday paradox,” suggesting that people can make time feel longer by creating new experiences. This includes learning new skills, trying new foods, or exploring new places to add variety to daily life. They also recommend reflecting on the day before sleep and staying present, which can make memories more vivid and extend the subjective sense of time.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
A U.S. venture capitalist’s claim that Taiwan may lose its semiconductor importance within 18 months has sparked debate over Taiwan’s strategic value and long-term chip advantages.
Tensions between the United States and Iran continue to rise as ceasefire talks remain stalled and Trump warns of possible military action if no agreement is reached.
Ukraine launched one of its largest drone attacks on Russia since the war began, as Kyiv said the strikes were a justified response to recent Russian attacks.
Emotional leadership means that leaders should not only focus on solving problems but also recognize team members’ effort and building trust.
Scientists explain why time feels faster with age and suggest ways to slow this feeling through new experiences.
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.
