第一則：韓國光州雙年展立場逆轉！「台灣館」恢復、作品可進場
韓國光州雙年展原先自行將「台灣館」改為「國立台灣美術館」，引發名稱爭議，許多光州藝術團體也公開聲援台灣 。台灣方面表明，如果無法使用台灣名稱，就只能放棄參展。
光州雙年展基金會最終改變立場，同意展場恢復「台灣館」名稱，官方文件與宣傳資料也將使用「Taiwan Pavilion」。原本 8 月 18 日就要進場、卻因爭議卡關的台灣作品，也可在正式公文確認後重新安排布展，力拚在 9 月 5 日開幕前完成。
Gwangju Biennale Reverses Its Position! “Taiwan Pavilion” Restored and Artworks Can Enter the Venue
The Gwangju Biennale in South Korea originally changed the name “Taiwan Pavilion” to “NTMoFA,” causing controversy and many art groups in Gwangju also publicly expressed support for Taiwan.Taiwan said that if the name “Taiwan” could not be used, it would have no choice but to withdraw from the exhibition.
The Gwangju Biennale Foundation eventually changed its position and agreed to restore the name “Taiwan Pavilion” at the exhibition venue. Official documents and promotional materials will also use “Taiwan Pavilion.” Taiwanese artworks that were originally scheduled to enter the venue on August 18 but were delayed by the dispute can now be rearranged for installation once the official documents are confirmed, with the goal of completing the setup before the biennale opens on September 5.
第二則：美國 CIA 局長首訪俄羅斯！敏感時刻任務成謎
美國 CIA 局長雷克里夫於 8 月 25 日前往莫斯科，這是他上任後已知首次訪問俄羅斯。由於美俄高層面對面會談本來就相當少見，加上這次行程事前沒有公開，因此格外受到關注。
特別的是，美方事前曾通知烏克蘭有高階代表團前往莫斯科，並要求暫停部分攻擊直到代表團離開。目前雙方都未公布會談內容，普丁也沒有與雷克里夫會面的計畫。外界推測，此行可能與避免俄烏戰事局勢升高，或美俄之間的人員釋放問題有關。
CIA Director Makes First Visit to Russia! Mission Remains a Mystery at a Sensitive Time
CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Moscow on August 25, marking his first known visit to Russia since taking office. In-person meetings between senior U.S. and Russian officials are already rare, and the trip drew even more attention because it was not announced in advance.
Notably, the U.S. had informed Ukraine that a senior delegation would travel to Moscow and asked it to pause some strikes until the delegation left. Neither side has revealed what was discussed, and Russian President Vladimir Putin had no plans to meet Ratcliffe. Some observers believe the visit may have involved efforts to prevent further escalation in the Russia-Ukraine war or discussions about the release of detainees between the U.S. and Russia.
第三則：國旅補助爆量！5 天破百萬人登記
觀光署推出平日國旅補助後，自 8 月 20 日至 25 日已有超過 100 萬人登記。目前約有 7,000 家旅宿加入，平日住宿補助還可搭配生日券，最高折抵 3,700 元；不過生日券採抽籤制，並非登記就能獲得。
政府刻意讓第二晚補助高於第一晚，希望鼓勵旅客安排 3 天 2 夜深入地方旅遊，也分散週末人潮。由於補助經費有限，觀光署建議民眾提早登記；為避免業者趁機漲價，也要求旅宿公開房價，並與地方政府加強稽查。
Taiwan’s Domestic Travel Subsidy Draws Huge Interest! Over One Million Register in Five Days
After the Tourism Administration launched its weekday travel subsidy, more than one million people registered between August 20 and 25. Around 7,000 hotels and guesthouses have joined the program. The weekday hotel subsidy can also be combined with a birthday voucher, offering discounts of up to NT$3,700. However, birthday vouchers are awarded by lottery, so registration does not guarantee one.
The government intentionally offers a larger subsidy for the second night to encourage travelers to take three-day, two-night trips, explore local areas more deeply, and reduce weekend crowds. Since the subsidy budget is limited, the Tourism Administration advises people to register early. To prevent hotels from raising prices during the program, it also requires them to publicly list room rates and is working with local governments to strengthen inspections.
第四則：員工分成四類 哪種人才最該提拔？
新光人壽董事長魏寶生認為，員工可分為只會說、不做事又搶功、會說又會做，以及會做卻不善表達四類。他最重視品德，也特別留意默默做事的人才。
他表示，主管應先觀察團隊，再培養這類員工的表達能力並給予升遷機會。主管若能看見真正有能力的人，員工才會相信努力不會被忽略。
Employees Fall into Four Types, Who Deserves a Promotion Most?
Shin Kong Life Chairman Wei Pao-sheng believes that employees can be divided into four types. Those who only talk, those who do little but take credit for others’ work, those who can both speak and perform well, and those who work well but are not good at expressing themselves. He values moral character most and pays special attention to employees who quietly get the job done.
Wei said managers should first observe their teams, then help these employees improve their communication skills and give them opportunities for promotion. When managers recognize truly capable people, employees are more likely to believe that their hard work will not be overlooked.
第五則：家貓數量首度贏過家犬 反映個人生活型態與個性
農業部公布 2025 年全國家犬、家貓數量。台灣家貓約 174 萬隻，首度超越家犬的 146 萬隻。農業部認為，這和都市化、集合住宅增加，以及養貓相對不需要出門蹓躂、照護彈性較高有關。
有研究指出，寵物偏好可能反映人們的生活方式與個性。狗派通常較喜歡互動、規律與戶外活動；貓派則可能更重視獨立、安靜與有邊界感的陪伴。
Pet Cats Outnumber Dogs for the First Time, Reflecting Personal Lifestyles and Personalities
Taiwan’s Ministry of Agriculture has released its 2025 numbers for pet dogs and cats. The number of pet cats in Taiwan reached about 1.74 million, surpassing the 1.46 million pet dogs for the first time. The ministry believes this is related to urbanization, the increase in congregate housing, and the fact that cats do not need to be taken out for walks and are more flexible to care for.
Some studies suggest that pet preferences may reflect people’s lifestyles and personalities. Dog people usually enjoy interaction, routine, and outdoor activities, while cat people may value independence, quietness, and companionship with clear boundaries.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
The Gwangju Biennale restored the “Taiwan Pavilion” name after Taiwan said it would withdraw and Korean art groups publicly showed their support.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s unannounced visit to Moscow has drawn attention as a rare high-level U.S.-Russia contact during a sensitive period.
Taiwan’s weekday travel subsidy attracted over one million registrations in five days by offering stackable discounts and encouraging travelers to avoid busy weekends.
Managers should recognize employees who work well but speak less, help them improve their communication skills, and ensure that their efforts are not overlooked.
Taiwan’s cat population surpassed dogs for the first time, reflecting how modern lifestyles and personality traits influence pet preferences.
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.
