第一則：東野圭吾病逝！最後遺作八月問世
日本知名推理小說家東野圭吾於 7 月 23 日因大腸癌病逝，享年 68 歲，家屬已低調完成葬禮。東野圭吾一生創作超過 100 部小說，《嫌疑犯 X 的獻身》、《白夜行》和《解憂雜貨店》都是廣受歡迎的代表作。
東野圭吾的作品在日本累計發行量突破 1 億冊，多部作品也被改編成電影與電視劇。他生前完成的「伽利略系列」最新作《永遠的記憶》預計於 8 月 5 日出版，將成為留給讀者的最後一部作品。
Keigo Higashino Dies at 68, Final Novel to Be Released in August
Renowned Japanese mystery novelist Keigo Higashino died of colorectal cancer on July 23 at the age of 68. His family has already held a private funeral. During his lifetime, Higashino wrote more than 100 novels. His best-known works include The Devotion of Suspect X, Journey Under the Midnight Sun, and The Miracles of the Namiya General Store.
More than 100 million copies of Higashino’s books have been sold in Japan, and many of his works have been adapted into films and television dramas. His latest novel in the Galileo series, Eternal Memory, was completed before his death and is scheduled for release on August 5. It will be the final work he leaves to readers.
第二則：勞工退休金新制八月上路！月領首度可反悔
勞退新制將於 8 月 1 日上路，最大變革是月退休金首度設置 30 天猶豫期。勞工若原本選擇按月領取退休金，卻在首筆款項入帳後改變心意，可在 30 天內申請改為一次領取，突破過去一旦選定領取方式就不能更改的限制。
此外，新制禁止雇主阻擋勞工自提 1% 至 6%，純舊制勞工也能自提。未成年遺屬的 10 年請求期限改從成年後起算，退休金不得扣押的保障也擴及遺屬與指定請領人。
New Labor Pension Rules Start in August! Monthly Payment Choice Can Be Changed
The new labor pension rules will take effect on August 1. The biggest change is the introduction of a 30-day cooling-off period for monthly pension payments. Workers who initially choose to receive their pension in monthly payments but change their minds after the first payment is deposited may apply within 30 days to switch to a lump-sum payment. This removes the previous restriction that prevented workers from changing their payment method once it had been selected.
The new rules also prevent employers from blocking workers from making voluntary pension contributions of 1% to 6%. Workers fully covered by the old pension system may also contribute. For underage survivors, the 10-year claim period will begin after they reach adulthood, and protection against pension seizure will extend to survivors and designated claimants.
第三則：川普暫停空襲！美國伊朗仍未正式談判
美國與伊朗截至 7 月 27 日已連續 3 天未直接互相攻擊。美國總統川普表示，美方暫停空襲，是因為斡旋國與區域國家請求再給談判一次機會，但伊朗否認雙方正在正式談判。
美伊雖然暫停互轟，區域風險仍未解除。沙烏地阿拉伯攔截多架飛向石油設施的無人機，攻擊疑似由伊朗支持的伊拉克民兵發動。川普警告，雙方若無法迅速達成新停火協議，美國將恢復更大規模的軍事行動。
Trump Halts Airstrikes! Formal US-Iran Talks Have Yet to Begin
As of July 27, the United States and Iran had gone three straight days without directly attacking each other. US President Donald Trump said the United States paused its airstrikes because mediating countries and other nations in the region asked him to give negotiations another chance. However, Iran denied that the two sides were holding formal talks.
Although the United States and Iran have paused direct attacks, risks across the region remain. Saudi Arabia intercepted several drones heading toward oil facilities. The drones were believed to have been launched by Iran-backed militias in Iraq. Trump warned that if the two sides fail to quickly reach a new ceasefire agreement, the United States will resume larger-scale military action.
第四則：商業思維成職場關鍵 四大能力提升溝通效率
企業在跨部門合作時，常因職位與專業背景不同而產生溝通落差。為提升決策效率與團隊合作成效，越來越多企業開始重視商業思維的培養，幫助員工理解公司營運與策略方向。
專家提出「商業思維四力」，包括數據力、策略力、敏捷力與產品力。透過理解數據、掌握目標與聚焦關鍵任務，企業可降低溝通成本，提升團隊協作能力與整體競爭力。
Business Thinking Becomes a Key Workplace Skill, Four Abilities Improve Communication Efficiency
Companies often face communication gaps in cross-department cooperation because employees have different positions and professional backgrounds. To improve decision-making efficiency and teamwork, more companies are paying attention to developing business thinking and helping employees better understand company operations and strategic goals.
Experts have introduced the “Four Powers of Business Thinking,” which include data literacy, strategic thinking, agility, and product thinking. By understanding data, focusing on goals, and concentrating on key tasks, companies can reduce communication costs, improve teamwork, and strengthen overall competitiveness.
第五則：達標後反而更空虛？ 擊敗大腦的「終點謬誤」
許多人誤以為升職、買房或存到錢後，快樂就會長久到來。心理學將這種誤以為達標後便能永遠幸福的狀態，稱為「終點謬誤」。
受到「享樂適應」影響，快樂往往很短暫，焦慮又會因為新目標而產生。若想跳脫這種狀態，可以練習每天感謝一件小事，並接受達標後日子終將回歸平凡。
Feeling Empty After Reaching a Goal? Overcoming the Brain’s “Arrival Fallacy”
Many people mistakenly believe that after they get promoted, buy a house, or save enough money, happiness will last for a long time. Psychology defines this misconception, where we believe that reaching a goal brings lasting joy, as the “arrival fallacy.”
Driven by “hedonic adaptation,” this happiness is often short-lived, and new anxieties quickly arise with the next goal. To break free from this cycle, you can practice being grateful for one small thing each day and accept that life will eventually return to ordinary after achieving success.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
Keigo Higashino died of colorectal cancer at 68, leaving over 100 novels, 100 million copies sold, and a final Galileo novel due August 5.
Taiwan’s new labor pension rules will introduce a 30-day cooling-off period, expand voluntary contribution rights, and strengthen pension protections for workers, survivors, and designated claimants.
The U.S. and Iran have paused direct attacks for three days, but tensions remain as formal talks have not begun and Trump warns fighting could resume.
Experts say developing business thinking can improve communication, strengthen teamwork, and help companies make better decisions in a fast-changing business environment.
The “arrival fallacy” reveals why reaching goals brings only short-lived joy, urging people to find lasting peace through daily gratitude instead of future destinations.
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.
