第一則:台日研擬全面貿易協議 最快今年底簽署
根據《日經亞洲》報導,台日正磋商深化經貿合作的協議,涵蓋經濟韌性與創新、防災產業合作、數位貿易、貿易便捷化及永續發展五大領域的協議,最快可能在年底簽署。
協議將參考台英貿易合作架構,保留未來擴大合作的彈性。專家分析,這有助於強化雙方半導體與先進科技供應鏈,降低對單一市場的依賴,也可能帶動加拿大、菲律賓等國推進與台灣的貿易協議。
Taiwan and Japan in Talks on Comprehensive Trade Agreement, Possible Signing by Year-End
According to Nikkei Asia, Taiwan and Japan are negotiating a new agreement to strengthen economic and trade cooperation, covering five key areas: economic resilience and innovation, industry cooperation on disaster risk reduction, digital trade, trade facilitation, and sustainability, with the agreement potentially being signed by the end of the year.
The agreement would follow a framework similar to the Enhanced Trade Partnership Arrangement signed between Taiwan and the UK, allowing both sides to expand cooperation in the future. Experts say this could strengthen semiconductor and advanced technology supply chains, reduce reliance on any single market, and encourage countries such as Canada and the Philippines to pursue their own trade agreements with Taiwan.
第二則:邁威爾天價收購 Lumentum 台灣供應鏈有望受惠
美國晶片大廠邁威爾宣布,將以換股方式收購光通訊公司 Lumentum,包含債務在內,交易價值高達 1,150 億美元,創下今年全球最大企業併購案,預計 2028 年上半年完成。
邁威爾希望結合自身晶片技術與 Lumentum 的雷射設備,提升 AI 資料中心的傳輸效率,並與競爭對手博通抗衡。市場預期,這項收購也可能為台灣的訊芯、鼎元等光通訊業者帶來更多訂單。
Marvell's Major Acquisition of Lumentum Could Benefit Taiwan‘s Supply Chain
US chipmaker Marvell has announced plans to acquire optical communications company Lumentum through a stock-for-stock deal with an enterprise value of $115 billion, including debt, making it the world’s largest corporate acquisition this year, with the transaction expected to close in the first half of 2028.
Marvell plans to combine its chip technology with Lumentum’s laser technology to improve transmission efficiency in AI data centers and compete more effectively with rival Broadcom. Market expectations suggest the acquisition could also generate more orders for Taiwanese optical communications companies, including Shunsin and Tyntek.
第三則:烏克蘭村莊遭轟炸!人道援助學校成攻擊目標
烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基指控,俄羅斯空襲烏克蘭東南部札波羅熱州一座提供人道援助的學校。這場攻擊造成至少 26 人死亡、5 人受傷,另有 27 人失聯,死者包括警察與救援人員。
當地多棟建築遭到摧毀,救難人員仍在瓦礫堆中搜尋受困民眾。澤倫斯基批評,俄軍在民眾領取援助物資時發動攻擊,顯示俄羅斯無意緩和衝突。隨著失聯者搜尋工作持續進行,傷亡人數可能增加。
Ukrainian Village Hit by Airstrike! Humanitarian Aid School Targeted
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of launching an airstrike on a school used to provide humanitarian aid in Zaporizhzhia, southeastern Ukraine. The attack killed at least 26 people, injured five others, and left 27 missing, with police officers and rescue workers among the dead.
Several buildings in the area were destroyed, and rescue teams are still searching for people trapped beneath the rubble. Zelenskyy condemned the Russian attack, saying it took place while civilians were collecting aid supplies, which he said showed Russia had no intention of easing the conflict. As the search for missing people continues, the number of casualties could rise.
第四則:從居酒屋到米其林 日本燒鳥為何能走向世界?
日本頂級燒鳥近年加速海外展店,Torikaze與鳥匠いし井也進軍台灣。雞肉受到的宗教限制較少,又能細分成不同部位料理,讓燒鳥容易被不同市場接受;但也因為食材本身不稀有,真正拉開差距的反而是技術。
燒鳥師傅至少需要三年訓練,從拆肉、串肉、火候到出菜節奏都靠經驗累積。這種難以快速複製的職人技術,也讓燒鳥走向海外時,仍能保有高級餐飲的獨特體驗。
From Izakaya to Michelin, Why Japanese Yakitori Is Going Global
Top Japanese yakitori brands have been expanding overseas in recent years, with Torikaze and Torisho Ishii also entering Taiwan. Chicken faces fewer religious restrictions and can be divided into many different cuts, making yakitori easier to introduce across markets. But because chicken itself is not rare, what really sets these restaurants apart is their technique.
Yakitori chefs usually train for at least three years, building experience in cutting, skewering, controlling the heat, and timing each dish. These skills are difficult to copy quickly, also allowing yakitori to expand globally while still keeping the sense of exclusivity found in unique high-end dining.
第五則:網路建議太多反而更焦慮?掌握關鍵步驟擺脫選擇困難
網路上的專家建議常互相矛盾,越查資料反而越難做決定。心理學博士指出,生活沒有標準答案,面對不同身涯選擇,可以先釐清自身需求、考量時機,再比較不同做法的利弊與風險。
即使考慮周全,也要透過小規模嘗試,確認哪些方法真正適合自己。行動後可主動和他人交流、尋求回饋,但意見太多也可能增加焦慮。關鍵是適度參考外界建議,同時了解自己的處境,逐步找出可行方向。
Feeling Overwhelmed by Online Advice? Simple Steps to Overcome Indecision
Experts online often offer conflicting advice, and searching for more information can make decisions even harder. A psychology expert points out that there is no single right answer to life’s decisions. When facing important life choices, people can start by identifying their own needs, considering the timing, and weighing the benefits and risks of different options.
Even after careful consideration, trying things on a small scale can help people discover what works best for them. After taking action, talking with others and seeking feedback can provide useful insights, although too many opinions may increase anxiety. The key is to consider outside advice while being aware of one’s own circumstances and gradually finding a practical way forward.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
Taiwan and Japan are negotiating a broad trade agreement to strengthen economic cooperation, with a possible signing by the end of the year.
Marvell has announced a major acquisition of Lumentum to expand its optical communications business, potentially creating new opportunities for Taiwanese suppliers.
A Russian airstrike on a Ukrainian village reportedly killed at least 26 people, raising concerns over civilian safety and humanitarian aid operations.
Yakitori’s global growth comes from combining widely accepted ingredients with highly skilled techniques that are difficult to copy.
Too much advice can make decisions harder, but understanding your own situation and taking small steps can help you find a practical way forward.
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.
