第一則：川普發布新地圖 加拿大墨西哥被納入美國領土
美國總統川普於 9 月 7 日在社群媒體發布一張地圖，顯示美國國旗覆蓋加拿大、墨西哥、格陵蘭、冰島，以及部分中美洲和加勒比海地區，被視為是延續過去川普擴張領土的主張。
這篇貼文發布之際，美加兩國過去一個月來持續互相加徵關稅，川普甚至簽署行政命令將安大略湖改名為「美國湖」，此外，日前川普還將新墨西哥州標示為「新美國州」，使各國間的關係更加緊張。
Trump Posts New Map, Including Canada and Mexico as U.S. Territory
U.S. President Donald Trump posted a map on social media on September 7, showing the U.S. flag covering Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Iceland, and parts of Central America and the Caribbean. This map reflects and continues his past claims of expanding U.S. territory abroad.
The post came as the United States and Canada had continued imposing tariffs on each other’s goods over the past month. President Trump even signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to “Lake America”. In addition, he recently labeled New Mexico as “New America,” further heightening tensions between countries.
第二則：營養午餐食安疑慮？成淵高中國中部學生集體腹瀉
成淵高中國中部於 9 月 7 日傳出疑似食安事件，共有 87 名九年級學生出現腹瀉情形，部分學生反映午餐肉品味道異常。教育局與衛生局已到校稽查、採集檢體，並要求熱食部廠商暫停供餐，目前學校改採外部送餐，並針對學生健康狀況分級追蹤。
衛生局稽查時發現廚房冰箱有髒污、地面積水等衛生缺失，要求業者限期改善，若後續確認與供餐問題有關，廠商恐面臨解約處分。
School Lunch Food Safety Concerns? Chengyuan High School Junior High Students Suffer Mass Diarrhea
A suspected food safety incident was reported at the junior high division of Chengyuan High School on September 7. A total of 87 ninth-grade students experienced diarrhea, with some saying the meat in their lunch smelled and tasted abnormal. The Department of Education and the Department of Health have since inspected the school, collected food samples, and ordered the cafeteria vendor to suspend meal service. The school has switched to outside meal delivery and is monitoring affected students based on the severity of their symptoms.
During the inspection, health officials found a number of hygiene issues in the kitchen, including a dirty refrigerator and standing water on the floor, and ordered the vendor to make improvements within a deadline. If the illness is confirmed to be linked to the school meals, the vendor could face contract termination.
第三則：物價漲幅連 4 月破 2% 外食費漲勢強勁
主計總處公布，8 月消費者物價指數年增 2.04%，已連續 4 個月超過 2% 通膨警戒線。然而， 1 至 8 月平均年增 1.84%，低於 2%，整體物價仍屬溫和上漲，其中外食費年增 3.17%，寫下今年以來最大漲幅。
外食費受食材、人事及租金等營運成本上漲影響，預估下半年漲勢仍將延續，此外，蔬菜價格回升以及 AI 熱潮帶動電腦與週邊設備價格影響，9 月 CPI 年增率可能高於 8 月。
CPI Growth Exceeds 2% for Fourth Straight Month, Dining-Out Costs Rise Strongly
Taiwan’s Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics said the consumer price index rose 2.04% year on year in August, exceeding the 2% inflation warning line for the fourth consecutive month. However, the average increase from January to August was 1.84%, still below 2%, meaning overall prices remained in a state of moderate growth. Among all categories, dining-out costs rose 3.17% year on year, marking the largest increase so far this year.
Dining-out costs have been pushed up by higher food, labor, and rent expenses, and the upward trend is expected to continue in the second half of the year. In addition, vegetable prices may rebound, while the AI boom may also push up prices for computers and related equipment. As a result, September’s CPI growth is expected to be higher than August’s.
第四則：AI 時代拚的不只技術 治理效率也決定競爭力
AI 加快產業變化，也讓決策速度更重要，企業若花太多時間內耗，即使擁有技術、人才與資金，也可能錯過市場時機，國家治理也是如此，政策若無法形成共識，就可能拖慢產業轉型。
從企業治理來看，競爭力不只來自資源，而是能否在分歧中快速決策並有效執行。當 AI 讓競爭節奏越來越快，治理效率也從行政問題，變成影響長期競爭力的關鍵。
In the AI Era, Technology Is Not Enough, Governance Efficiency Also Shapes Competitiveness
AI is speeding up industrial change, making fast decision-making more important. If companies spend too much time on internal friction, even strong technology, talent, and funding may not be enough to avoid missing market opportunities. The same applies to governments, if policies cannot gain enough agreement, industrial transformation may be delayed.
From a business governance perspective, competitiveness depends not only on resources, but also on the ability to make decisions and carry them out effectively despite disagreements. As AI makes competition move faster, governance efficiency is becoming a key factor in long-term competitiveness.
第五則：垃圾食物吃太多！獼猴靠吃土解毒
一群直布羅陀的獼猴被發現吃完冰淇淋、洋芋片等人類食物後，會開始啃食泥土。研究人員觀察發現，這不是偶發行為，而是和牠們接觸遊客、攝取高糖高油食物有明顯關聯，遊客越多的季節，獼猴吃土的頻率也越高。
科學家推測，吃土可能是在幫助牠們調節腸胃，減少人類食物對消化系統的影響，不過，土壤可能夾雜污染物，帶來新的健康風險。
Too Much Junk Food! Monkeys Turn to Soil to Detox
A group of monkeys in Gibraltar has been found eating soil after having human foods such as ice cream and potato chips. Researchers observed that this behavior was not accidental. It was clearly linked to their contact with tourists and their intake of foods high in sugar and fat. During seasons with more tourists, the monkeys ate soil more frequently.
Scientists believe that eating soil may help them regulate their stomachs and reduce the impact of human food on their digestive systems. However, the soil may contain pollutants, creating new health risks.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
U.S. President Donald Trump sparked diplomatic tension by posting a map covering Canada, Mexico, and several islands with the American flag.
Taipei’s Chengyuan High School reported 87 junior high students suffering from diarrhea due to suspected spoiled lunch meat.
Taiwan’s August CPI rose 2.04% with dining-out costs hitting a new high, and September inflation is expected to increase further due to rising vegetable and tech product prices.
In the AI era, faster and more effective governance can be just as important as technology in staying competitive.
Gibraltar’s monkeys may be eating soil to ease the effects of human junk food, but the behavior could also bring new health risks.
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.
