第一則：台南廢棄物爆炸波及六十八戶 涉案業者已出境越南
台南安南區一處空地的廢棄物於 8 月 22 日凌晨起火爆炸，現場疑似堆放鋁鎂合金廢料及廢油，事故造成 13 人送醫、68 戶住宅及多輛車輛受損，其中包括 3 名消防員。
檢警調查，廢棄物由不具清理證照的王姓業者非法堆置，王姓業者已於 6 月底前往越南，之後遭檢方發布詐欺通緝。台南市府預計協助受災戶提出集體訴訟，並研議代位求償，具體起火原因仍待調查。
Tainan Waste Explosion Damages 68 Homes as Suspect Leaves for Vietnam
Waste stored on an empty lot in Annan District, Tainan, caught fire and exploded early on August 22. Aluminum-magnesium alloy waste and waste oil were reportedly stored at the site. The accident sent 13 people to the hospital, including three firefighters, and damaged 68 homes and several vehicles.
Prosecutors and police said a businessman surnamed Wang, who did not have a waste disposal license, had allegedly ordered the waste to be dumped illegally. Wang left for Vietnam in late June and was later wanted for fraud. The Tainan City Government is expected to help victims file a class-action lawsuit and consider seeking compensation through subrogation. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
第二則：五年來首見！日本東部規模 5.9 強震
日本東部於 8 月 23 日凌晨發生規模 5.9 地震，震央位於茨城縣南部，東京、埼玉、千葉及茨城最大震度達 5 弱，這是東京 23 區近 5 年來首度觀測到震度 5 以上的搖晃。
日本氣象廳表示，這次地震沒有海嘯危險，但埼玉縣與神奈川縣有多人受傷。東京都江東區有地下水管破裂，且約有 460 戶東京住戶停電。本次震央位於板塊交界附近、過去地震頻繁的「地震巢」，但目前沒有足夠證據顯示，這次地震與規模 7 以上的首都直下型地震存在直接關聯。
First in Five Years! Magnitude 5.9 Earthquake Shakes Eastern Japan
A magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck eastern Japan early on August 23. The epicenter was in southern Ibaraki Prefecture, while Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba, and Ibaraki recorded a maximum intensity of lower 5 on Japan’s seismic intensity scale. This was the first time in nearly five years that Tokyo’s 23 wards had recorded an intensity of 5 or above.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said the earthquake posed no tsunami threat, but several people were injured in Saitama and Kanagawa. An underground water pipe burst in Tokyo’s Koto Ward, and about 460 households lost power. The epicenter was located near a plate boundary in an “earthquake nest,” where earthquakes have occurred frequently. However, there is not enough evidence to directly connect this earthquake to a possible magnitude 7 or stronger Tokyo Inland Earthquake.
第三則：勞保費率明年升至 13% 千萬勞工與雇主負擔增加
勞保普通事故費率預計自 2027 年起，由 12.5% 調升至法定上限 13%，超過 1,051 萬名勞工及 62.6 萬家投保單位的保費負擔預計增加。
透過雇主投保的勞工須自行負擔兩成保費，平均每人每月預計多繳約 36.51 元。雇主則負擔七成，平均為每名勞工每月多繳約 127.79 元，將導致全體雇主每年新增成本超過 131.47 億元。而調升費率也預計為每年勞保財務帶來額外收入。
Labor Insurance Premium Rate to Reach 13% as Costs Rise for Workers and Employers
Taiwan’s ordinary accident insurance premium rate is expected to rise from 12.5% to the legal maximum of 13% in 2027. Premium costs are expected to increase for more than 10.51 million workers and 626,000 insured units.
Employees insured through their employers pay 20% of the premiums themselves and are expected to pay about NT$36.51 more per person each month. Employers cover 70% and will pay an average of about NT$127.79 more per employee each month, and the total additional annual cost for employers is estimated to exceed NT$13.147 billion.The rate increase is also expected to bring in additional revenue for the Labor Insurance finances each year.
第四則：別被羞恥感綁住 擺脫冒牌者症候群
前 Google 主管指出，冒牌者症候群會讓人懷疑自己不夠格，甚至不敢爭取機會或分享成果。他認為，正面肯定未必能消除不安，真正有效的方法是接受這些情緒，並繼續行動。
他也提醒，職場上的「無恥」不是厚臉皮，而是放下過度自責，勇敢表達立場、爭取機會和肯定自己。當一個人不再被羞恥感限制，才更有機會發揮真正實力。
Break Free from Shame and Overcome Impostor Syndrome
A former Google executive said that impostor syndrome can make people feel unqualified. It may even stop them from seeking opportunities or sharing their achievements. He believes that positive self-talk may not fully remove these worries. A more effective approach is to accept these feelings and continue taking action.
He also explained that being “shameless” at work does not mean being rude or thick-skinned. It means letting go of excessive self-blame, speaking up for yourself, seeking opportunities, and recognizing your own value. When people are no longer controlled by shame, they have a better chance to show their true abilities.
第五則：克服財務焦慮！透過大聲理財重拾生活掌控權
「大聲理財」成為了 Z 世代面對財務焦慮的新方法。這個從 TikTok 興起的概念，鼓勵人們把存錢目標說出口，坦然拒絕超出預算的聚餐、旅行或購物邀約。
當朋友知道你的財務目標，拒絕花錢就不再尷尬，也能減少社交壓力，重新拿回對錢包和生活的掌控權。
Overcoming Financial Anxiety! Regain Control of Life Through Loud Budgeting
“Loud budgeting” has become a new way for Gen Z to deal with financial anxiety. This concept, arising from TikTok, encourages people to speak out their saving goals. It allows them to state their budget limits openly and reject invitations for dinner, travel, or shopping that exceed their budget.
When friends know your financial goals, refusing to spend money is no longer awkward. This practice can also reduce social pressure, helping you regain control over your wallet and daily life.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
A waste explosion in Tainan injured 13 people and damaged 68 homes, while the businessman linked to the illegal dumping had already left for Vietnam.
A magnitude 5.9 earthquake shook eastern Japan, but experts found no direct link to a possible major earthquake beneath Tokyo.
Taiwan’s Labor Insurance premium rate is expected to reach its 13% legal maximum, increasing costs for over 10 million workers and 626,000 insured units.
People can overcome impostor syndrome by accepting their doubts, taking action, and refusing to let shame limit their confidence or abilities.
Gen Z embraces Loud Budgeting to overcome financial anxiety, reject unnecessary spending, and regain control over their personal finances.
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.
