第一則：台積電高雄廠爆工安事故！4 名工人不幸罹難
台積電高雄廠於 10 月 20 日發生重大工安事故，4 名工人在進行鋼結構吊掛安裝作業時，疑似因連結板螺栓斷裂，導致鋼結構失去支撐，4 人從高處墜落，經送醫搶救後全數不治。
事故發生後，台積電已暫停相關工程，南科管理局也派遣人員進場調查，釐清鋼結構固定方式、施工程序及安全防護措施是否符合規定，後續將依調查結果依法究責。
Fatal Workplace Accident at TSMC Kaohsiung fabs! Four Workers Killed
A serious workplace accident occurred at TSMC Kaohsiung fabs on October 20. While four workers were installing steel structures, bolts on a connecting plate reportedly broke, causing the structure to lose support. All four workers fell from a height and died despite emergency medical treatment.
Following the accident, TSMC suspended the related construction work. The Southern Taiwan Science Park Bureau also sent inspectors to investigate whether the steel structures were properly secured and whether construction procedures and safety measures met regulations. Those responsible will face legal action based on the investigation’s findings.
第二則：台北市長選情白熱化！民調首現黃金交叉
信民協會於 10 月 20 日公布最新台北市長民調，沈伯洋支持度達 50.3%，蔣萬安則為 33.3%。相較於 9 月蔣萬安領先 1.2 個百分點，這次沈伯洋反超 17 個百分點，首度出現黃金交叉。
面對民調結果，沈伯洋強調「民調在紙上，勝負在票上」，將持續以政策爭取市民支持。蔣萬安則坦言民調結果確實出乎意料，也讓團隊與支持者感到著急。專家提醒，民調可能受到抽樣方式等層面影響，結果仍應謹慎解讀。
Taipei Mayoral Race Heats Up! Poll Shows Lead Changing Hands for the First Time
Taipei Trust in Democracy Association released its latest Taipei mayoral election poll on October 20, showing Puma Shen with 50.3% support and Chiang Wan-an with 33.3%. While Chiang led Shen by 1.2 percentage points in September, Shen has now taken a 17-percentage-point lead, marking the first time he has overtaken Chiang in the association’s polls.
In response to the poll, Shen stressed that “polls exist on paper, but the victory is decided at the ballot box,” adding that he would continue seeking public support through his policies. Chiang Wan-an admitted that the results were surprising, and acknowledged that the numbers have left both his team and supporters feeling anxious. Experts caution that poll results may be influenced by factors such as sampling methods and should therefore be interpreted carefully.
第三則：台灣外銷訂單提前創新高 全年有望衝破 1.1 兆美元
經濟部於 10 月 20 日公布，台灣 9 月外銷訂單達 1,142.1 億美元，不僅連續 2 個月突破千億美元大關，更寫下連續 20 個月正成長紀錄。前 9 個月累計達 8,192 億美元，也提前超越去年全年的歷史紀錄。
這波成長主要受惠於 AI 與雲端運算需求，帶動伺服器、電子零組件等產品接單增加。經濟部預估，第 4 季訂單有望持續成長，今年全年外銷訂單很可能突破 1.1 兆美元，再創歷史新高。
Taiwan’s Export Orders Hit Record High Ahead of Schedule, Full-Year Total Could Top $1.1 Trillion
Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs announced on October 20 that export orders for September reached $114.21 billion. This marks the second consecutive month above the $100 billion threshold and extends Taiwan’s streak of positive growth to 20 months in a row. The cumulative total for the first nine months of the year has already reached $819.2 billion, surpassing last year’s full-year record ahead of schedule.
The growth has been largely driven by strong demand for AI and cloud computing, boosting orders for servers and electronic components. The Ministry of Economic Affairs expects orders to continue growing in the fourth quarter, with the full-year total for 2026 likely to break the $1.1 trillion mark and set a new all-time record.
第四則：台日觀光客差距達 3,400 萬人次 台灣國旅到底卡在哪？
20 年前，台日入境旅客只差約 300 萬人次，截至去年差距卻已擴大到 3,400 萬。業者認為，台灣觀光真正卡住的，不只是價格，還包括投資門檻高、開發慢與缺工問題。
要縮小差距，台灣觀光不能只靠降價，而要創造值得旅客專程前往的體驗。未來能整合住宿、餐飲與在地特色，並持續推出新內容的業者，才更有機會吸引旅客、留在市場。
Taiwan-Japan Tourism Gap Reaches 34 Million Visitors, What Is Holding Taiwan Tourism Back?
Twenty years ago, the gap in international visitor numbers between Taiwan and Japan was only about 3 million. By last year, that gap had grown to 34 million. Industry experts say Taiwan’s tourism problem is not just about price, but also high investment barriers, slow development, and labor shortages.
To narrow the gap, Taiwan’s tourism industry needs to do more than lower prices. It must create experiences that make travelers want to visit. In the future, businesses that can combine accommodation, food, and local color while continuing to offer something new will have a better chance of attracting visitors and staying competitive.
第五則：十八公尺巨型章魚稱霸海洋？白堊紀化石揭開祕密
日本團隊分析白堊紀晚期化石，發現古代章魚可能曾是海洋頂級掠食者。有鰭章魚體長可達 18.6 公尺，下顎咬合力強，兩側不對稱的磨損痕跡，顯示牠們可能具備複雜的認知與行為能力。
化石顯示古代章魚早在 7,500 萬年前，就可能透過鑽孔並注入毒液捕食。隨著數位分析技術進步，科學家逐步還原古代章魚的樣貌，重新定義無脊椎動物在海洋生態史中的地位。
Could 18-Meter Octopuses Have Ruled the Seas? Ancient Fossils Reveal Surprising Clues
A Japanese research team studied fossils from the late Cretaceous period and found that ancient octopuses may have been among the ocean’s top predators. Some finned octopuses may have reached 18.6 meters in length and had powerful jaws. Uneven wear patterns on their jaws also suggest that they may have been capable of complex thinking and behavior.
Fossil evidence also suggests that ancient octopuses may have hunted by drilling holes into their prey and injecting venom as early as 75 million years ago. With advances in digital technology, scientists are gradually learning more about these ancient creatures and rethinking the role of invertebrates in the history of marine life.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
A fatal industrial accident at TSMC’s Kaohsiung construction site left four workers dead, prompting an immediate investigation and work suspension.
The latest Taipei mayoral election poll shows a major shift in support, with Puma Shen taking a 17-percentage-point lead over Chiang Wan-an.
Driven by strong global demand for AI and cloud technologies, Taiwan’s export orders hit record highs, with full-year totals expected to surpass 1.1 trillion U.S. dollars.
Taiwan’s tourism challenge is not just about price, but also whether businesses can invest, create new experiences, and give travelers stronger reasons to stay.
Ancient fossils suggest that giant octopuses may have ruled the seas with their powerful jaws and hunting skills.
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.
