第一則：行政院追加預算創新高！4 千億投入中油台電
行政院於 9 月 3 日通過今年度 6,076 億元中央政府追加預算案，規模創歷史新高，其中超過 4 千億元用於挹注中油與台電，透過加上增資及能源價格補貼，減輕油價、天然氣與電價上漲對民眾的影響。
追加預算另外編列 1,457 億元強化國防，並涵蓋社福、軍公教待遇與災後重建等項目。不過，追加預算仍須送交立法院審議，在野黨已表示將嚴格審查中油增資與無人載具等支出。
Taiwan Approves Record Supplementary Budget, With NT$400 Billion in Financial Support for CPC and Taipower
The Executive Yuan approved a NT$607.6 billion Central Government supplementary budget Proposal on September 3, the largest in Taiwan’s history. More than NT$400 billion will go to CPC Corporation and Taipower through capital increase and energy price subsidies, helping reduce the impact of rising oil, natural gas, and electricity prices on the public.
The supplementary budget also includes NT$145.7 billion to strengthen national defense, along with funding for social welfare, government employee pay, and post-disaster reconstruction. However, the budget still needs to be reviewed by the Legislative Yuan, and opposition parties have said they will closely examine spending on CPC Corporation and unmanned vehicles.
第二則：核三重啟計畫接近過關 藍綠再掀能源政策攻防
核能安全委員會表示，核三廠再運轉計畫已進入最後審查階段，近期將正式核定，不過，核三仍須完成機組整備，以及老化、耐震等安全評估，通過核安會審查後才能取得運轉執照。
核三重啟進度也引發政治攻防，國民黨批評政府非核政策大轉彎，民進黨則表示，核能仍須符合核安、核廢處理與社會共識等條件。再運轉計畫核定只是重啟的第一步，核三實際重啟時間仍要視後續審查進度而定。
Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant Restart Plan Nears Approval, KMT and DPP Clash Again Over Energy Policy
The Nuclear Safety Commission said the restart plan for the Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant has entered its final review stage and is expected to be approved soon. However, the plant must still complete equipment preparations and safety reviews on aging and earthquake resistance before it can receive an operating license.
The restart process has also sparked political debate. The Kuomintang criticized the government for changing its non-nuclear policy, while the Democratic Progressive Party said nuclear power must still meet requirements on safety, nuclear waste, and public consensus. Approval of the restart plan is only the first step, and the actual restart date will depend on later reviews.
第三則：伊朗再攻波斯灣美軍基地 婚禮空襲案引發爭議
伊朗於 9 月 3 日表示，已對科威特及阿拉伯聯合大公國境內的美軍基地發動攻擊，科威特軍方則指出，已攔截來自伊朗的飛彈與無人機，但阿聯否認境內基地遭到攻擊。
伊朗同時指控美軍於 9 月 1 日空襲一場婚禮，造成 5 人死亡、超過 50 人受傷，並揚言展開報復。美方表示在調查相關指控，也強調美軍絕不會以平民為攻擊目標，對伊朗方面的說法抱持高度懷疑。
Iran Attacks U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf Again, Wedding Airstrike Sparks Controversy
Iran said on September 3 that it had attacked U.S. military bases in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. The Kuwaiti military said it had intercepted missiles and drones from Iran, while the UAE denied that any military base in the country had been attacked.
Iran also accused the U.S. military of carrying out an airstrike on a wedding on September 1, killing five people and injuring more than 50, and vowed to retaliate. The United States said it was investigating the claim and stressed that U.S. forces would never target civilians, while expressing serious doubts about Iran’s account.
第四則：ChatGPT 購物踩煞車 OpenAI 改讓第三方結帳
OpenAI 近期縮減讓使用者直接在 ChatGPT 內購物與訂房的計畫，改由合作平台完成交易，原因是許多使用者會用 ChatGPT 研究商品，但最後仍選擇到其他平台下單。
外媒指出，AI 購物仍面臨商品整合、交易責任、獲利模式與消費習慣等障礙，也降低 Booking、Expedia 等平台被取代的疑慮，顯示人工智慧目前更適合協助搜尋與比較，而不是直接取代完整交易流程。
ChatGPT Shopping Hits the Brakes, OpenAI Shifts Checkout to Third-Party Platforms
OpenAI has recently scaled back its plan to let users shop and book travel directly inside ChatGPT, and the transactions will instead be completed through partner platforms. The reason is that many users use ChatGPT to research products, but still choose to place their orders on other platforms.
Foreign media said AI shopping still faces challenges such as product integration, transaction responsibility, profit models, and consumer habits. The change also reduces concerns that platforms such as Booking and Expedia could be replaced, showing that AI is currently better suited for helping users search and compare rather than replacing the entire transaction process.
第五則：禁食、敲骨也要變帥？歐美男性瘋 Looksmaxxing
近年歐美年輕男性掀起 Looksmaxxing 風潮，把外貌當成翻身工具，認為只要變得更高、更壯、更有稜角，就能擺脫「魯蛇」標籤，在感情與社交競爭中勝出。
這股風潮反映部分年輕男性對外貌與自我價值的不安，也讓網紅有機會放大焦慮、販售課程，有人甚至走向極端禁食、斷骨手術與敲打骨頭。專家提醒，自我提升不應建立在自我厭惡與危險行為上。
Starvemaxxing and Bonesmashing to Look Better? Looksmaxxing Spreads Among Western Men
In recent years, Looksmaxxing has become popular among young men in Europe and the United States. They treat appearance as a tool to change their lives. They believe that becoming taller, stronger, and more sharply defined can help them escape the “loser” label and succeed in dating and social competition.
This trend reflects some young men’s insecurity about their appearance and self-worth. It also gives influencers opportunities to increase anxiety and sell courses. Some men even turn to starvemaxxing, bone-breaking surgery, and bonesmashing. Experts warn that self-improvement should not be based on self-hatred or dangerous behavior.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
Taiwan approved a record NT$607.6 billion supplementary budget, including more than NT$400 billion to support CPC and Taipower, but the plan still needs to be reviewed by the Legislative Yuan.
Taiwan’s Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant restart plan is nearing approval, but the plant must still pass several safety reviews before it can resume operations.
Iran attacked U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf and vowed revenge over an alleged U.S. airstrike on a wedding, while the United States said it was investigating the claim.
OpenAI is scaling back direct shopping and hotel bookings in ChatGPT, showing that AI is currently better suited for product research and comparison than replacing the full transaction process.
Looksmaxxing is pushing some Western men toward starvemaxxing, bone-breaking surgery, and bonesmashing, while influencers profit from their appearance anxiety.
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.
