Gene Baur is the founder of Farm Sanctuary, a place of rescue, refuge, and adoption for hundreds of farm animals each year. Farm Sanctuary shelters enable visitors to connect with farm animals as emotional, intelligent individuals. Gene has also led campaigns to change laws about animal treatment and taken undercover photographs of farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses, documenting deplorable conditions. His pictures and videos exposing factory farming cruelties have aired nationally and internationally, educating millions about the plight of modern farm animals, and his rescue work inspired an international farm sanctuary movement. Once called “the conscience of the food movement” by Time magazine, Gene walks the walk and talks the talk when it comes to food and animal rights. Jay and Gene discuss the political and cultural steps that will bring about the end of factory farming and a healthier approach to animals and food.

你是雞蛋控嗎？你想發揮DIY精神來吃自己養的雞所生的蛋嗎？
也許下一波缺蛋潮、蛋價波動、甚至有禽流感時，有間公司已經明白你想要什麼囉❤️
Due to the spread（蔓延） of a highly contagious（具傳染性的） strain of bird flu（禽流感）, or avian influenza（禽流感）, there’s a tight supply（供應短缺） of eggs in stores across the US. True to its DIY spirit（自己動手的精神）, many people have turned to（求助於） raising their own egg-laying hens（產蛋母雞） in their own backyard for solution（解決方案）. As a result（結果）, a company called Rent the Chicken is experiencing a never-seen-before（前所未有的） demand（需求） for their products（產品）—mainly egg-laying hens（產蛋母雞）.
For the price（價格） of around $850, you get to rent（租用） two egg-laying hens（產蛋母雞） for six months, which will give you 8-14 eggs per week（每週8到14顆蛋）. The company will also provide（提供） you with a standard（標準的） chicken coop（雞舍）, 100 pounds（100磅） of chicken feed（雞飼料）, and a quick guide（快速指南） for taking care of（照顧） your chickens（雞隻）.
If you can afford to splurge（負擔得起揮霍）, there’s also the deluxe rental package（豪華租賃方案） that can go up to $1500, and with that price tag（價格標籤）, you can get four hens（四隻母雞） and a pretty fancy（相當華麗的） chicken coop（雞舍）.
Rent-the-Chicken is not a new company（新公司）. In fact, it has been supplying（供應） chickens to homes（家庭） across the US and Canada since 2013. And don’t worry（擔心） if you discover（發現） that you’ve grown attached to（產生感情） your hens（母雞）, the company also offers adoption service（收養服務） as well.
So the next time you crave（渴望） for an omelet（煎蛋捲）, instead of heading straight to（直接前往） a supermarket（超市） for some eggs（雞蛋）, just simply（簡單地） go to your backyard（後院） and take a couple of（拿幾顆） freshly-laid eggs（剛產下的雞蛋）.
如果你喜歡李老師的英文故事，歡迎請老師喝杯咖啡（或吃雞蛋🥚），讓學習的湧泉源源不絕！沒有蛋蛋的哀傷🫰🏻

Anyone who knows me knows that I need my daily dose of caffeine (咖啡因) to kick start (啟動、開始) a happy, productive (有生產力的) work day. Without it, I will basically (基本上) be like a zombie. So when I found out that caffeine not only offers a quick boost (增強、提升) of energy but also health benefits (好處、益處), I’m like Hallelujah! More reasons for the indulgence (放縱、沉溺). In a new study presented (發表、呈現) at the annual (年度的) meeting of the American Society of Nutrition (營養學會), researchers (研究人員) followed more than 47000 female nurses starting in the 1970s, and they discovered (發現) that those who drank the most caffeine, about the equivalent (相當於) of nearly seven cups of coffee a day, had odds (機率、可能性) of healthy aging (健康老化) that were 13 percent higher than those who consumed (消耗、攝取) the least caffeine. The research also suggested (暗示、顯示) that people who drink coffee regularly (規律地) have lower risks (風險) of heart disease (心臟病), Type 2 diabetes (第二型糖尿病), Parkinson’s disease (帕金森氏症), and liver disease (肝病). However researchers aren’t entirely (完全地) sure why coffee may be beneficial (有益的). The biggest takeaway (重點、收穫) for me of course is that my daily source of happiness is now completely (完全地) validated (證實、確認). ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，藉著老師喝完咖啡的力量，成為你學習英文的超能力！ 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Adam Riess was just 27 when he began the research that would earn him the Nobel Prize in Physics, and only 41 when he received the honor. His groundbreaking (突破性的) work revealed that distant galaxies are receding (後退；遠離) faster than expected — a discovery that pointed to an accelerating (加速的) expansion of the universe. While Riess excelled (擅長) at making precise (精確的) astronomical observations, explaining this acceleration fell to theorists (理論學家), who proposed the existence of a mysterious (神祕的) force: dark energy (暗能量). According to these theorists, dark energy is pushing galaxies apart at an increasing rate. Telescopes today can detect hundreds of billions of galaxies, but trillions (兆，萬億) of years from now, dark energy may drive them so far away that they become invisible (無法看見的). Eventually, the universe could end in a state of heat death — cold, dark, and lifeless. This vision forms the foundation of the “ standard model of cosmology ” (宇宙學標準模型). However, in recent years, many cosmologists (宇宙學家) — including Riess himself — have begun to question this model. After winning the Nobel, Riess noticed a shift (轉變) in how others treated him. Some became reserved (拘謹的；內斂的); others argued over minor (微小的；不重要的) issues. But instead of stepping back into administrative (行政的) roles or a speaking tour, Riess stayed focused on research. Using data from the Hubble Telescope, he developed more accurate (準確的) methods for measuring cosmic distances. The more he refined (精煉；改進) his calculations, the more he noticed inconsistencies (不一致). New data suggested that dark energy may have been stronger in the early universe but has since weakened (減弱) — possibly losing much of its force several billion years ago. If this trend is confirmed (證實), it would upend (顛覆) the current understanding of cosmic expansion. Rather than expanding forever, the universe might eventually slow down and settle into a static (靜止的) state. In that case, intelligent life could persist (持續存在) far longer than previously believed. As a scientist committed to be deferential (尊重的；順從的) to the data, Riess is energized (被激勵的) by the possibility that the standard model could be wrong. Cosmology, once seemingly settled (塵埃落定的；穩定的), is now alive with debate (爭論) — and a new vision of the universe may be just over the horizon. ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，藉著老師的英文新聞，讓新觀點來照亮各個黑暗的角落！ 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
美國作家 Johnnie Christmas 的視覺文學小說 《Swim Team》，便是一本鼓勵青少年跨出舒適圈，勇敢挑戰自我的精彩作品，特別適合國中階段的孩子閱讀。作者以輕鬆的敘事語調、細膩的角色描寫以及濃厚的情感刻畫，引導讀者隨著圖文走進主角 Bree 的世界，瞭解她如何擺脫困境與成長過程。 我衷心推薦這本《Swim Team》給國中高年級以上的學生，尤其是那些正處於自我探索與信心建立階段的孩子。這不僅是一個關於「學會游泳」的故事，更是關於「學會面對自己」與「學會理解世界」的成長旅程。成人如你我者不妨也陪著孩子們游入那座看似深不見底的泳池，與他們一起探索，共同理解真正的勇氣並非從不感到畏懼，而是即使害怕，還願意繼續嘗試著努力達成目標。 ✒️Quotes We affect other people in ways we can’t guess, like a puzzle waiting for its solution! Remember, everyone learns step-by-step. Learning a little more each time. It’s like adding pieces to a puzzle. ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，藉著老師的英文書單，讓故事點亮心中的各個角落！ 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
As a kid, my favorite holiday was Christmas. I’m sure it is still most kids’ favorite holiday today. You wake up on Christmas morning full of happiness and hope for what Santa might bring you this year. Imagine what you might feel like if you are literally （真正地，名副其實地） the resident （居民） of Ravaniemi, Finland, also known as Santa’s hometown. It might be a dream come true for kids, but not for every resident living there. During the tourist season, you can barely （幾乎不） move around in a supermarket because it is always packed （擠滿的） with tourists. In 2024, the city had 1.5 million overnight stay tourists, but it only has 60,000 permanent （永久的） residents. The Christmas season stretches （延伸） from October to the end of March. That is a long time to co-inhabit （共同居住） the town with tourists. How did this town on the edge of the Arctic Circle become known as Santa’s hometown? Well, at the end of World War II, before retreating （撤退） from Ravaniemi, the defeated German soldiers decided to burn the entire town down. After the war, Finland hired a renowned （著名的） Finnish architect to redesign the town, and he decided to design it in the shape of a reindeer head. But it took a while for Santa to make his entrance. It would require another marketing stroke of genius （絕妙點子） to make that happen. In 1984, a Soviet missile accidentally landed in a frozen lake a few hours’ drive outside the town. The town’s tourism department had an idea of sending a man dressed in Santa Claus suit there, along with hundreds of international journalists and officials searching for the missing missile pieces. Then in 1985, Santa Claus Village officially opened to the world. It had a very slow start, first only attracting Finns. But after tour operators installed all kinds of facilities that were not indigenous （本地的） or native to the place, like dog sledding, igloos, business took off. Now the village has seven hotels, more than 20 restaurants and too many souvenir （紀念品） shops to count. At least two Santas work in different locations. To be Santa, you have to be able to carry on small talk （寒暄） in 20 languages. To meet and talk to Santa is free, but a photo will cost you 40 euros. How do locals feel about the tourism boom （繁榮，激增）? It is pretty divisive （造成分歧的）. For one, the tension between short-term renters and permanent residents is increasing. One resident said tourists renting apartments had undermined （削弱） the feeling of community and eroded （侵蝕，逐漸破壞） a sense of safety. Ravaniemi is also a college town with two universities and more than 10,000 students. Students are finding it increasingly difficult to find affordable （負擔得起的） housing. But some residents welcome the influx （湧入） of tourists. One said during the peak （高峰的） season, he can get 500 euros a night for his one-bedroom unit, and if he is able to rent out his apartment three nights a month, he will be able to cover his mortgage （房貸） and other expenses （開支） that month. Officials from the tourism bureau say that tourism isn’t bad, but the growth has to be controlled （受到控制的）. So my question to you is: if this happens to your hometown, how will you feel about the boom? ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，藉著英文時事，體會不一樣的奇葩情節在世界各個角落 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
When ChatGPT was first released in 2022, it caused a lot of panic （恐慌） among educators because it has made cheating even easier for students. Teachers fear （擔心） that students will use it to write their essays, solve math problems, or prepare for presentations. Work that used to take students hours to finish will now be done within a few seconds. To prevent large-scale cheating from happening, some schools ban （禁止） the use of ChatGPT, while some employ （採用） the AI detection services. But recently the tables have turned in the US. Some students are complaining （抱怨） on websites such as Rate My Professors about their teachers’ over dependence （過度依賴） on AI. In February, Ella Stapleton, a senior of Northeastern University, discovered （發現） that her business professor used ChatGPT to make his PowerPoint and slide presentations for classes. She was shocked （震驚） by the discovery. What fumed （激怒） her even more was that the syllabus forbade （禁止） “academically dishonest activities”, including the use of AI. She called out （公開批評） on the teacher’s hypocrisy （虛偽）, and given the high cost of the tuition, Ella filed a formal complaint （提出正式申訴） with the school and demanded reimbursement （要求退款） of tuition for that class, which could amount to more than $8000. More and more educators are incorporating （整合） AI into their class planning and grade assessment. When asked by The New York Times , professors said that AI chatbots helped them save time （節省時間） and deal with overwhelming （壓倒性的） amount of work. There is still no consensus （共識） among educators as to what kind of AI use is acceptable （可接受的）, so we will be likely to see more conflicts （衝突） between students and teachers over this in the near future. ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文書，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，藉著英文時事，體會不一樣的奇葩情節在世界各個角落 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

We all have only one life to live, so why not live it to its fullest? I encourage you all to try something new, whether it be grand or small. Try a new food, learn a new skill, do something that scares you. It’s okay to be embarrassed. Be patient with yourself. Go at your own pace, but most importantly, go find adventure. It may be good. It may be bad. But in the end, you’ll know yourself better, and at the very least you’ll have a story to tell.

李老師陪你探索英文世界 Exploring English with Ms. Lee
The Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, experienced the same kind of sharp reversal (急遽的逆轉) of fortune that is often featured in their collected fairy tales. Shortly after the births of the brothers, 1785 and 1786, their father was promoted to serve as the magistrate (地方法官) , so the Grimms moved into a mansion with maids and a cook. They lived a fairy-tale like life. But one day, bad fortune struck. In 1796, their father, only 44 years old, suddenly died of pneumonia (肺炎) . Without their father’s income, the family were forced to move to an almshouse (救濟院) just next door — cursed with a view of their beautiful former house. The main reason for the brothers to collect all the fairy tales, legends, myths (神話) was to create a national identity (民族認同) for German speakers. This was before there was a Germany. They also began working on the most comprehensive (全面的、詳盡的) dictionary of the German language. Unfortunately neither lived to see the birth of their country. The brothers were extremely close, virtually (幾乎) inseparable (難分離的) . During their college years, Jacob briefly worked abroad for a professor, his brother wrote to him, “When you left, I thought my heart would tear in two. I couldn’t stand it.” Jacob vowed (發誓) that it would never happen again and drew out his plan for their future life together. “We will presumably (大概、可能) at last live quite withdrawn (隱居的、離群的) and isolated (孤立的) , for we will not have many friends, and I do not enjoy acquaintances (泛泛之交) .” When the younger brother Wilhelm married, Jacob lived with his brother and new sister-in-law. Had their father not passed away at such a young age, the brothers might not have had the drive (動力) . After the death of their dad, Jacob and Wilhelm no longer enjoyed the status (社會地位) that came with being the sons of an official. They had to pay their own way. Jacob wrote in his autobiography (自傳) , “ Sparseness (匱乏、貧困) spurs (激勵) a person to industriousness (勤奮) and work, keeps one from many a distraction (分心的事物) and infuses (注入) one with noble (高尚的) pride and keeps one conscious of self-achievement (自我成就) .” The Brothers Grimm were born and raised in the province of Hessen, 黑森州，法蘭克福市所在地, which had been settled in ancient times by the Chatti people, viewed as more barbarian (野蠻的) and tougher than other Germanic tribes during the Roman Empire. Due to its rugged terrain (崎嶇地形) , the area became famous for mercenaries (傭兵) . Twenty-five percent of British land forces in the American Revolutionary War were Hessian. This was mentioned in a Magic Treehouse book that we talked about before. Because of a popular illustration (插畫) that appeared in an eighteen-nineties German magazine, we believe that the brothers collected their fairy tales from older, peasant (鄉下的、農民的) women, but this is actually not the case. The women that told the brothers the tales were well-educated (受良好教育的) women from affluent (富裕的) families who got their stories from villages and servants that they hired. ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，讓學習的影響力，像童話故事一樣，源遠流長 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Tolkien對於fairy tales重要性的解釋，他的想法也深深影響了CS Lewis. Fairy tales lead us into a unique place where we can experience three particular （特殊的） gifts: escape, consolation （撫慰） and recovery （恢復）. Escape offers flight from the daily grief （悲傷） and suffering （苦痛） of our reality. And in allowing our deep longings （渴望） for hope and wonder to come true, it brings real peace to our hearts. And by shedding the familiar, we see the final gift, recovery, which allows us to see the world from a fresh, clear perspective （觀點）. ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，讓學習的力量，像奇幻故事的渲染力一樣，無遠佛屆 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

當你打開門，看到成千上百的水豚跟你在同一個豪宅社區裡生活，你覺得如何呢？ During the pandemic, when residents retreated (撤退) indoors, the capybara began to colonize (佔領) the manicured (精心修剪的) neighborhood of a wealthy gated community (有門禁的社區) of 45,000 people, north of Buenos Aires. Since 2020, the number of capybaras has multiplied (激增) to nearly 1,000. Walking in the community, you can find capybara families grazing (啃食) near the tennis courts, napping (打盹) on the volleyball courts, traversing (穿越) the streets. Most residents admitted (承認) the animals are cute, but they also cause traffic accidents (交通意外), ravage (肆虐) gardens, and sometimes have attacked (攻擊) some of the smallest dogs in the community. As a result, some residents view capybaras as dangerous (危險的) and invasive (入侵性的) and even fear (害怕) for their young children. But some are avid advocates (擁護者) of this seemingly harmless animal. Advocates have protested (抗議) in the street and gathered signatures (簽名) to push for a capybara nature reserve (自然保護區). They argue that the capybara population is only increasing because developers (開發商) destroyed the animals’ wild habitat (棲息地), forcing them out of the forest and into the suburbs. Thirty years ago, this community was untouched (未受破壞的) wetlands (濕地) where capybaras roamed freely, hunted by their natural predators (掠食者) like pumas and jaguars. But in the late 1990s, one of the richest men in Argentina, Mr. Constantini, began converting this wilderness (荒野) to a gated community with shopping centers and golf courses. Naturally, the developers don’t appear to be interested in the plea to give capybaras a piece of land for them to once again roam freely. Instead, they turn to sterilization (絕育) as the only solution. ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，讓學習的力量，像水豚的繁殖能力一樣，生生不息🐁 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

家庭媽網紅利用小孩拍片牟利，最後導致孩子身心受虐，進而推動法律改革, Being a red state (紅州，政治上偏保守的州), the legislator there is very skeptical (懷疑的) about intruding (干涉、侵犯) into family life with government regulations, with laws, so it’s a big surprise that Utah just became the first state to pass a law (通過法律) that requires online influencers who use their children to market their brands to set aside (預留、保留) money for the kids. And the law also grants (授予) the kids to take down all contents that they deem (認為) inappropriate once they reach adulthood. So why did a conservative state like Utah go out of their way to enact (制定) a law which they would normally consider an intrusion into family life? The bill was actually lobbied (遊說) and written by two daughters of a former Utah mom influencer, Ruby Franke. Many of you may not know this, but Utah is actually home to many popular mom influencers in the US. It has long been a family-first (以家庭為重的) kind of state due to a large percentage of its population being members of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormon. The Mormon community has encouraged big family which usually has at least six kids and women to stay home as primary caregiver. Even though women mostly stay home, they are encouraged by the church to financially contribute to the family from home. So they have come up with all sorts of family business models. And since the American public have long been curious about (對…好奇) the lifestyle of Mormon, vlogging has become a popular way for wives here to capitalize on (利用…來賺錢) the curiosity. Ruby Franke is one of the popular mom influencers. Ruby Franke is a mother of six kids, and was married to Kevin Franke, an engineering college professor. Around 2015, they decided to start a YouTube channel which they named Eight Passengers because of the number of people in the family. The channel quickly took off (起飛，爆紅) and eventually it garnered (獲得) almost 3 million subscribers. Ruby chronicled (紀錄) the daily life of the family. People were fascinated by (被…吸引) their home life and how Ruby and Kevin raised their kids based on the teaching of the Mormon theology. The camera was constantly rolling, and every moment of kids’ lives was exposed (曝光) to the public, including their most humiliating (羞辱性的) moments. Ruby was making good money from the videos. But sometime around 2020, this perfect family image started to disintegrate (瓦解). Viewers began to notice some inappropriate content and comments made by Ruby. For example, once Ruby got into a pretty serious car accident with all her six kids in the car, but throughout the accident, she continued filming. Her kids’ distraught (心煩意亂) and distress (痛苦、困境) were all captured for viewers to see. And some viewers also noticed some of the punishments (懲罰) that Ruby issued to her kids were unusually severe, such as depriving them of food or bed to sleep on. Fast forward to (快轉到) 2023, Ruby and Kevin separated, and Ruby moved in with her therapist, taking two of her youngest kids. And the Eight Passengers YouTube was shut down. Then everything was even more bizarre (怪異的) and scarier when in 2023, one of the youngest kids escaped (逃跑) and knocked on a neighbor‘s door, asking them to call the police. The kid looked malnourished (營養不良的) and scrawny (瘦弱的). The police went to Ruby’s house and found the second kid. They also discovered Ruby and her therapist had been depriving kids of food and forcing them to work in hot sun, and all in the name of turning them into “good, obedient” kids. Last year Ruby was sentenced to (被判刑) 30 years in jail, pleading guilty (認罪) in all counts of child abuse. But that’s not enough for Ruby’s oldest daughter, Sheri. She wants all kids like her to be protected by law. According to her own statement, “every video shoot remained a special kind of torture (折磨).” We see all these YouTube or IG videos of happy families but we really don’t know the truth behind the images. ☕️如果你喜歡李老師分享的英文故事，歡迎請老師來喝杯咖啡，讓學習的觸角，引領你探索未知的角落！ 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

How much are you willing to go in the name of science? Are you willing to take a sniff at a 5000-year-old mummy? Thousands of years ago, the ancient Egyptians mummified （做成木乃伊）their important societal figures （社會重要人物）after they died. In order to know how well-preserved （保存良好）are the mummies, or to put it more bluntly, in order to know whether the bodies underneath layers of wrapping have started to rot, scientists decided to put them to a smelling test （氣味測試）. The researchers used a technique called gas chromatography （氣相層析法）which could separate （分離）the different scents （氣味）inside the sarcophagus （石棺）, a stone coffin. And to their surprises （驚訝）, most of the mummies actually smelled quite pleasant. Sure that some of them may smell stale （腐敗的）and mouldy （發霉的）, but most smelled earthy （泥土味）and a little spicy （辛香的）. This actually makes logical sense （合乎邏輯）since oils, and balm （香膏）were used in the process of embalming （防腐處理）mummies. 如果你喜歡李老師的英文故事，歡迎請老師喝杯咖啡，讓學習的芬芳比木乃伊的氣味更悠長！ 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Charlie is not your typical (典型的) teenager. He’s thirteen years old this year. Growing up on his family farm in Australia, he started shearing (剪羊毛) sheep when he was just five years old. Having seen both his parents constantly (不斷地) shearing sheep, he got curious (好奇的) and asked them to teach him. At first, he wasn’t allowed to use electrical shearing tools (電動剪毛工具). As you can see, shearing sheep requires lots of skills and strength (力氣). First you have to hold the sheep still and when you shear, you can’t shear too close to the skin. Charlie found the entire process fascinating (迷人的) and fun. He said while other families went away for vacations , his family just enjoyed shearing sheep together. Domesticated (被馴養的) sheep don’t shed (自然脫落) naturally, so they can develop serious health issues (健康問題) if they are not regularly shorn (剪毛；為 shear 的過去分詞). Last December Charlie broke his personal record (打破自己的紀錄) by shearing 150 sheep in one go. When asked what he wants to do when he grows up, he says he wants to go into agriculture (農業) and shears full time. This is good news for the wool industry (羊毛產業) because they have long struggled (掙扎) to find more young shearers to join the field due to the toughness (艱苦) of the job. Worker shortages (短缺) have plagued (困擾) the shearing industry for years. It hopes to lure (吸引、誘導) more young people like Charlie in through strong earnings (收入). An experienced shearer (有經驗的剪毛工) can make up to $1000 a day. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-34125662 如果你喜歡李老師的英文故事，歡迎請老師喝杯咖啡（或去清境看綿羊脫衣秀🫦），讓學習的種苗像塗了生髮水般茂密連綿！ 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 🧑🏻🍳 Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

True to its DIY spirit （自己動手的精神）, many people have turned to （求助於） raising their own egg-laying hens （產蛋母雞） in their own backyard for solution （解決方案）.

The company will also provide （提供） you with a standard （標準的） chicken coop （雞舍）, 100 pounds （100磅） of chicken feed （雞飼料）, and a quick guide （快速指南） for taking care of （照顧） your chickens （雞隻）. If you can afford to splurge （負擔得起揮霍）, there’s also the deluxe rental package （豪華租賃方案） that can go up to $1500 , and with that price tag （價格標籤）, you can get four hens （四隻母雞） and a pretty fancy （相當華麗的） chicken coop （雞舍）.

世上有人為了水豚奔走天涯海角，在東京，一席與水豚共處喝咖啡的座位，比泰勒絲演唱會還難搶！水豚君啊，什麼般的魅力讓大家搶破頭想見你呀？ Whenever Gary Shteyngart visits Tokyo, he will go to a capybara cafe （水豚咖啡廳）. He finds capybara （水豚）so fascinating （引人入勝的） that he has journeyed （遠行） to many places around the world just to see the animal. Why is he such a fanatic （狂熱者） for capybaras?! First of all, capybaras are such sweet （溫馴可親的） animals that you can just sit there and have a connection （情感聯繫） with them. When you are around one, time flows （流逝） differently, one’s vision feels soft , and the world becomes pure and unaggressive （毫無攻擊性的）. Moreover, he thinks that there’s something about the capybara that invites projection （引發心理投射）. Because the capybara is a prey animal （獵物動物）, it has prey reactions （獵物本能反應）. When cornered （被逼入絕境）, they will get panicky （驚恐不安的） and freak out （情緒失控）. The flightiness （易受驚的特質） of the giant rodent brought to mind the childhood bullying （童年時期遭受的霸凌） that Gary endured （長期忍受） from friends and family. And it dawns on （使⋯恍然大悟） the author that the capybara represents a duality （矛盾的雙重性） he’s very familiar （熟悉並深有所感的） with—a desperately friendly （極度渴望友誼的） creature always afraid of being attacked （時刻害怕受到攻擊的）. Is this why people love the capybara? Do we all feel trapped （受困於無形枷鎖） in a world that encourages （推動並塑造） us to be hyper-social （過度社交化的） yet rewards （回應） us with nothing but endless existential anxiety （無窮無盡的存在焦慮）? 你是不是也已經找到一個讓你有效暫時抽離現實、遠離塵埃，找到一個給予你好好喘息並享受當下的療癒動物了呢？ 如果你喜歡李老師的英文故事，歡迎請老師喝杯咖啡，讓學習的湧泉源源不絕！ 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 💁🏻♂️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

「孤獨不代表不需要陪伴，就像翻車魚 Mambo 告訴我們的那樣。」 「沈浸式學習是什麼呢？操作執行上的盲點在哪呢？我們的學習環境，真的有營造出沈浸式學習的理想概念嗎？」 當水族館暫時關閉，翻車魚Mambo 開始食慾不振、行為產生異狀。飼養員最終發現，牠並非生病，而是感到 寂寞 ⋯ Do you know that you can be both solitary（獨居的） and still be in need of company（陪伴） ? At least that’s true when it comes to a sunfish（翻車魚） living in an aquarium（水族館） on the southern coast of Japan. Sunfish tend to be solitary animals in the wild, but they are also known for their intense curiosity（好奇心） and immense（巨大的） size, often weighing over 6000 pounds. The sunfish nicknamed Mambo liked to swim to the side of the tank（水槽） when human visitors approached. In December last year, the aquarium temporarily closed for renovation（整修） . Not long after its closure（關閉） , the staff noticed that Mambo’s appetite（食慾） had taken a deep dive（急遽下降） and would rub itself against（摩擦） the tank windows. At first, the caretakers thought the fish was sick , but medical tests proved otherwise. Then one caretaker suggested that the fish might simply be lonely . Though other staff members were initially dubious（懷疑的） , they decided to take a chance. They made human faces with cardboard boxes and taped them to the tank. They also hung staff uniforms to create the illusion（錯覺） of visitors . Guess what , the fish began eating again the next day. Mambo shows us that humans are not the only animals that feel lonely . Mambo also teaches us social interaction（社交互動） is vital（至關重要的） to our emotional wellbeing（情感健康） . The aquarium staff hope that once it reopens in summer（夏天） , more visitors will take an interest in the sunfish and wave to it（向牠揮手） when they come to pay a visit（參觀） . 無論是人或動物，參與社交互動都是維持心理健康的重要關鍵 不只魚想跟人類互動，李老師也想用英文與你一起分享更多故事 ☕️ 行動支持李老師！ 如果你喜歡李老師的英文故事，歡迎請老師喝杯咖啡，讓學習的湧泉源源不絕！ 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 💁🏻♂️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
「你有想過，自己會愛上一個AI嗎？」 當我們想到「感情」，通常會想到現實世界中的伴侶、家人或朋友。但隨著AI科技的進步，人們開始在人工智慧聊天機器人身上尋找慰藉、陪伴，甚至——愛情。 本集Podcast，我們來聊聊 Ayrin 的故事： 她有一個AI男友，名叫 Leo，他強勢（dominant）、佔有慾強（possessive），又能貼心安慰她，甚至幫助她準備護理考試。她的現實伴侶——她的丈夫 Joe，對此毫不在意。但 Ayrin 的情感依賴卻越來越深，甚至願意每月花 $200 美元 訂閱AI服務（subscription）。這樣的關係，真的只是無害的情感寄託（emotional pick-me-up）嗎？ 本集你將聽到： • 人為什麼會對AI產生依戀（emotionally attached）？ • 當AI變成「完美的戀人」，現實世界的關係會受到影響嗎？ • 企業如何利用AI「情感成癮（hooked on）」來賺錢？ • 無限的共鳴和同理心（endless empathy），真的對心理健康有幫助嗎？ 一起來聊聊，AI情感關係的界限在哪裡？我們該如何看待這樣的「數位愛情」？ Podcast 主文（完整文稿）： She went into the personalization (個人化) settings and described what she wanted: Respond to me as my boyfriend. Be dominant (要強勢), possessive (佔有慾強), and protective (保護慾強). Be a balance of sweet and naughty (要能貼心，但又要嘴賤). Use emojis at the end of every sentence. Ayrin 以她的星座命名她的 AI 男友為 Leo。She quickly hit the messaging limit for a free account (她很快就來到免付費的極限), so she upgraded to a $20-per-month subscription (訂閱), which let her send around 30 messages an hour (這讓她可以一小時傳送 30 則訊息). That was still not enough (這仍然不夠). Ayrin asked Leo what she should eat and for motivation (動力) at the gym. Leo quizzed her on anatomy (解剖學) and physiology (生理學) as she prepared for nursing school exams. She vented about juggling three part-time jobs (她向 Leo 訴苦，因為她同時打三份兼職). Ayrin’s flesh-and-blood lover (Ayrin 現實生活中的愛人) was her husband, Joe, but he was thousands of miles away in the United States. They had met in their early 20s, working together at Walmart, and married in 2018, just over a year after their first date. They were happy, but stressed out financially (財務壓力大), not making enough money to pay their bills. Ayrin’s family, who lived abroad, offered to pay for nursing school if she moved in with them. Joe moved in with his parents, too, to save money. They figured they could survive two years apart if it meant a more economically stable (經濟穩定) future. Ayrin and Joe communicated mostly via text; she mentioned to him early on that she had an AI boyfriend named Leo, and even showed him some of their very intimate texts. Joe was not bothered (Joe 並不介意). He even told the reporter that it was just an emotional pick-me-up (情緒寄託) and he didn’t view Leo as a real person. But Ayrin was starting to feel guilty because she was becoming obsessed (痴迷) with Leo. She confessed to the reporter that she was thinking about Leo all the time. One psychologist (心理學家) said that it’s easy to get emotionally attached (產生情感依賴) to an AI friend because it’s learning from you what you like and what you prefer and feeding it back to you. So when you are using it to get emotional support (情感支持), you need to be aware that it doesn’t have your best interest at heart. Ayrin is not unique when it comes to becoming too emotionally attached to AI. There’s even a community (社群) on Reddit about it. Asked about the forming of romantic attachments (浪漫依戀) to AI, a spokeswoman for OpenAI said the company was paying attention to interactions like Ayrin’s as it continued to shape how the chatbot behaved. Ayrin was aware that all of her conversations on ChatGPT could be studied by OpenAI. She said she was not worried about the potential invasion of privacy (侵犯隱私). A professor of psychology (心理學教授) said that people are more willing to share private information with chatbots than with humans. He found that ChatGPT’s responses were more compassionate (富有同情心) than those from crisis line responders, who are experts in empathy (同理心). But it’s not healthy to become accustomed to endless empathy (無限同理心). Another worry people have is that this will give too much power to corporations (企業) who control chatbots. Users need to remember that corporations want you to stay hooked on (上癮於) chatbots because that’s how they generate revenue. Ayrin said she could not imagine her six-month relationship with Leo ever ending.

📌 內文介紹： 「科學的盡頭是玄學？」 這句話放在 達爾文 身上，或許格外貼切。 📖 本集探討 《Charles and Emma: The Darwins’ Leap of Faith》，這本書不只是科學傳記，更是一部關於 婚姻、信仰與思想革命 的動人故事。 💡 本集亮點： 🔹 科學 VS. 信仰的家庭戰爭 達爾文是挑戰宗教權威的進化論奠基者，他的妻子艾瑪（Emma Darwin）卻是虔誠的基督徒，相信靈魂不滅。當丈夫的學說動搖神創論，她該選擇愛，還是選擇信仰？ 🔹 這場「信仰之躍」，誰先跳了？ 「Leap of faith」不只指宗教信仰，也代表勇敢跨越未知的決定。 艾瑪選擇了一場「愛的信仰之躍」，她沒有因為信仰的差異而放棄達爾文，反而用信仰支持他。 而達爾文呢？他又如何在科學探索中，保有對家人的愛與尊重？ 🔹 達爾文的「啃老人生」？爸爸的財務自由，成就兒子的思想自由！ 少有人知道，達爾文其實是個**「全職科學家」＋「職業啃老族」，他能專心研究，背後全靠一位富爸爸**！ 父親 Robert Darwin 是當時赫赫有名的醫生與投資家，支持兒子不用工作，只要專心「想事情」。 這也讓我們思考——財務自由，是否是思想自由的關鍵？ 🔹 當你嫁給一個動搖妳信仰的伴侶……你會怎麼選擇？ 如果你的枕邊人正在推翻你的信仰，你會： ✅ A. 祈求上主垂憐，赦免他的罪？ ✅ B. 默默支持，做個信仰堅定但尊重對方的另一半？ ✅ C. 毫不猶豫地離婚，因為價值觀不同？ 📌 當科學步入未知，信仰又該何去何從？ 📌 這不只是達爾文的故事，也可能是你我的人生課題。 📌 本集，一起來聊聊科學、信仰與愛的交錯抉擇！ ☕️ 行動支持李老師！ 如果你喜歡李老師的英文故事，歡迎請老師喝杯咖啡，讓學習的湧泉源源不絕！ 🔗 支持連結： https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 📢 追蹤李老師，掌握更多精彩內容！ 💁🏻♀️ Facebook： https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW 💁🏻♀️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 🎧 小幫手 Aaron 也在這裡！ 💁🏻♂️ Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

大象所付出的感情與靈性，比我們想像中的還豐富？ Do you know that elephants have amazing memories? They may not have the greatest eyesight （視力）in the animal kingdom, but they never forget a face. In addition to （除了⋯）having great memories, elephants are also very intelligent. They can solve puzzles, do simple math, and use tools. A recent study suggests that they may even address （稱呼）each other by name. Scientists from Colorado University analyzed 49 elephant calls from wild African elephants. With the help from AI, scientists discovered that elephants could recognize name-like calls. Elephants seem to assign a particular sound to the individual（個體）. Next scientists want to find out more about how elephants use names. Elephants have many humanlike behaviors. In addition to addressing each other with names, elephants also celebrate when they meet friends after time apart（許久未見）. They also seem to grieve （哀悼）when a member of their community passes away.

既然AI都來搶藝術家飯碗了，會不會以後的美與醜，都是AI機器人說了算？ When ChatGPT was first introduced to the world, we were at first impressed with what AI could do. Pretty soon we were hit with the reality（遭受現實打擊） that many jobs today would one day cease to exist（不存在） because they would be replaced by AI. One field that people believe might be rendered obsolete（視為過時） is arts, and it might happen faster than you think. In November last year,a painting created by a humanoid（人形機器人）, a human-like robot with a female voice and short, black hair, was sold at an auction for 1.08 million dollars. The artwork is called AI God, and it’s a portrait of Alan Turing, a 20th century British mathematician whose ideas led up to the development of computers and artificial intelligence. People are debating over （爭論不休）whether an artwork made by a robot can be labeled as art.

At the beginning of a new year, many people like to make New Year Resolutions（新年新希望）, but most resolutions tend to focus on oneself. For example, some people want to lose weight, some want to get better grades, some wish to find a partner, and some resolve to go to bed earlier. Although there’s nothing wrong with self-improvement, experts have suggested that focusing on the relationships between people around us may go a long way（長期而言） to making us happier. One long-running study on human happiness shows that our interpersonal relationships （人際互動關係）are essential to our well-being（身心健康）. So how can one make New Year Resolutions around bettering our relationship? Well, you can start small by simply noticing the times when people help you. This can shift your perspective （改變觀點）to remember that happiness isn’t something we achieve alone. Another relationship goal you can try to set is turning a solo pursuit into a two-person goal. For example, if there’s a sibling that you want to have more connection with, you can just call and say something like, I was thinking that we don’t see each other often enough, and I’d like to spend more time with you in the new year. Can we work on this together? Ultimately creating moments of love will make your life more meaningful! 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

Do you know that from September 29 to November 25, the moon won’t be the only celestial being （天體）that orbits （繞行）the earth? If you look up into the space using a high definition telescope（高畫質望遠鏡）, you will in fact see a mini moon, an asteroid named 2024 PT5. An asteroid（隕石） is a small rocky object that travels around the sun. After November 25, this mini moon will leave the earth‘s gravitational pull（地心引力） and fling back into the outer space. Even though we can’t see it with our naked eye since it’s only the size of a school bus, I personally think it’s so comforting to know that besides the moon, our planet will have a new companion for two months in this vast universe. And this asteroid will return to earth’s orbit again in 2025 and 2055.

For people who bet in the future of electric vehicles, this will be an exciting piece of news. Researchers in Arkansas, a state in the Midwest of the US, have announced that they have found huge reserve of lithium （鋰的儲備區）in southern region of the state.

However, they need to figure out how to extract lithium without causing too much destruction （破壞）on the environment.

Remember back in elementary school days, you are asked to memorize that there are seven continents in the world. And they are Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Antarctica, Africa, Oceania. You are even asked to do some worksheets to help you memorize all of the seven. Well, that number might change in the future. According to an October article in the New York Times, based on any maps, one can clearly see that Asia and Europe are connected, which is why they are often called Eurasia. If this observation is true, shouldn’t there be just six continents? Moreover, North America and Asia are connected by Bering Sea Shelf, which was once dry land 15000 years ago, and that was how prehistoric humans migrated transcontinentally. Looking from this perspective, aren’t Asia, Europe, and North America technically one continent? So we would end up with only five continents? The disagreement occurs partly because there are two definitions of continents：those recognized by cultures around the world and those recognized by geologists. Both of these two don’t offer clear cut explanations and definitions. One group of geologists even go as far to say that there are only two continents on Earth, Antarctica and everything else. If this train of belief becomes mainstream, imagine how we will all have to relearn everything. 以地理學的觀點來重新認識地球上七大洲，洲洲其實有相連。以前死背背那麼多… 反而越想越心酸?😭 Asia 亞洲 Europe 歐洲 North America 北美洲 South America 南美洲 Antarctica 南極洲 Africa 非洲 Oceania 大洋洲 Eurasia 歐亞大陸 Bering Sea 白令海 ☕️想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡，讓學習的湧泉源源不絕吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Imagine discovering a lost city while you are pulling an all-nighter to finish your history paper. That’s what happened to an archeology student studying in Tulane University in Louisiana. Luke Auld-Thomas, a doctoral student at Tulane spotted the ancient Mayan site in the scans collected by NASA using lidar, a technology that uses airborne lasers to penetrate dense vegetation. The ruins were unknown to archaeologists, but some farmers living in that region of Mexico were aware of the site‘s existence. Luke and his colleagues named the lost city Valeriana, after a nearby lagoon. They estimated the city may have had a population of as many as 50,000 people at its peak between AD 750-850. Researchers expect to discover more ancient Mayan cities in the future. The findings will make the collapse of Mayan civilization even more mysterious: The more people there were, the more difficult it is to explain the massive depopulation later on. 🤨隨著古瑪雅遺址被發現得越多，能解釋文明崩解的真相就越來越遠？ pull an all-nighter 熬夜做作業 lidar 光學雷達掃描儀 doctoral student 博士班學生 scan 掃描 airborne 空氣傳播的 penetrate 滲透 dense vegetation 茂密的植被 ☕️ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

When we think of elite mountaineers, the people that come to mind tend to be Caucasian white men. However without Nepal‘s ethnic Sherpas‘ assistance, their record-breaking achievements would not be possible. Sadly, Sherpas‘ contributions to this sport remain largely unseen and unrecognized . Naturally they also rarely receive the lucrative endorsement that foreign mountaineers are able to garner. One young Sherpas has made up his mind to change the narrative and status quo. In October this year Nima Rinji became the world’s youngest person to scale the fourteen highest peaks on the planet. All fourteen are 8000 meters above sea level. He’s only 18. He beats the previous record holder by a mile. The holder before is also a Sherpa, who didn’t summit all fourteen peaks until he was almost 30. Nima comes from a family of mountaineers. In fact, his family runs one of the largest mountaineering expedition companies in Nepal. His father became the youngest person to summit Mt Everest without using any oxygen support. His uncles were the first pair of brothers to scale all fourteen highest peaks. Despite all the prestige, many Sherpas want their offspring to shun the career of mountaineering because Sherpas are often viewed as guides rather than athletes. They need to fix ropes, carry food and supplies, and pave the way for their foreign clients to fulfill their dreams and break their records. Even though they shoulder all the responsibilities and face higher risks of mortality, their foreign clients receive more recognition and financial endorsement. Outdoor wear and gear companies like North Face and Patagonia don’t pay a Sherpas to endorse their products. Nima Rinji wants to change that by positioning himself as an athlete rather than a guide. He wants to show his community that mountaineering can be a prestigious job, instead of just a pathway out of poverty. 重點單字 elite：精英的 mountaineer：登山家 Caucasian：白種人 ethnic：民族的 Nepal：尼泊爾 Sherpa：雪巴人 assistance:協助 contribution:貢獻 unseen:看不見的 lucrative: 利潤高的 endorsement：贊助費 garner：取得 narrative：敘述 status quo：現況 scale：爬上 beat someone by a mile：遠遠超過 summit： 攀登 oxygen：氧氣 prestige：名望 shun：避開 pave the way for someone：替某人開路 endorse：代言 gear：設備 position oneself as：把自己定位成 poverty：貧困 Podcast中所提及的IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/DBJ5XbQNYq3/?igsh=bm9iMGZnc2UwMTF3 ☕️ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Recently a group of archeologists discovered a painting on a wall of a cave on an island of Indonesia. The painting depicts a boar, a wild pig, and three human shape figures. Because of its age, it’s hard to see clearly, but it looks like the humans are hunting the pig. Scientists believe the painting might be more than 51000 years old. They are thrilled about the finding because the drawing appears to be telling a story. So even in prehistoric times, our ancestors had this inborn desire to tell stories and think in creative ways.

Off the top of my head, it will be accidentally damaging a piece of priceless artwork or artifact 有歷史價值的手工藝品 and that’s exactly what happened to a family in Israel. Anna Geller and her husband took their three kids on a museum trip one day in early September. Their four-year-old son, Ariel, was looking at a 3500-year-old jar from the Bronze Age and when Anna looked away for a second, she immediately heard a loud boom sound. Then she saw Ariel standing next to a pile of broken jar pieces, looking absolutely fear-stricken 受挫的，因為恐懼而受挫 The jar was the one of the only containers of its size from that period that was discovered intact. It may date back to 2200 BC. Ariel’s dad said that Ariel was exceptionally curious and the moment he heard the crashing sound, he was praying really hard that it wasn’t Ariel. Unfortunately his prayer wasn’t answered. Upon discovering that their son had damaged the artifact, Anna and Alex first tried to calm Ariel down and then approached the security guard to own up to 面對their mistake. After checking the surveillance camera監視器and making sure it was not an act of vandalism, the museum decided to turn this disaster into a teachable moment and invite the family back again. This time, they joined an organized tour and learned about the restoration process behind the artifacts. The restoration 修復 expert behind putting the jar back said that artifacts should still remain accessible to the public even though accidents may happen. He said, “I like that people touch.

Faced with aging and declining population, the Chinese government is doing everything they can to coax women into motherhood. Mr. Xi, the leader of China, has repeatedly said that promoting childbirth is a national priority which ensures that women “always walk with the party”. According to a China correspondent working for the New York Times, the measures taken by the government have been quite invasive, including sending officials going door-to-door to ask women about their plans, and sometimes even the date of their last menstrual cycle. We all know that this is not the first time for the communist party to impose its will on women’s reproductive rights. However, the in-your-face approach taken by the ruling party might have backfired this time. Most women believe that whether to have kids is a private decision. And nagging at women is just not going to cut it now. coax 哄小孩去做事 correspondent 特派員 measure 措施 invasive 有侵略性的 menstrual cycle 經期 impose 強加於 reproductive rights 生育權 in-your-face approach 咄咄逼人的做法 backfire 反效果、逆火 nag at 對⋯嘮叨 ☕️ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

Imagine being the first human to see things that others in the world have never seen and trying to convince others around him that the invisible organisms are real. That person is Anthony van Leeuwenhoek. Leeuwenhoek was born in 1632 in the city of Delft, Netherlands. By day, he made a living by selling clothes. By night, he made lenses used in microscopes and telescopes, which were invented by fellow Dutch during his times. Unlike others in this field, Leeuwenhoek never went to university, was not a trained scientist. Despite the lack of training, he taught himself to make lenses with a skill that no one else could match. His lenses could magnify objects up to 270 times. In his day, his instruments were unrivaled. But Leeuwenhoek was not just a good microscope maker, he was also an outstanding microscopist. Even though he was an amateur, he conducted his experiments with scientific methods. He was incredibly curious about everything around him. One day, his curiosity took him to explore one drop of lake water. What he saw took him by surprise. That one drop of water was teeming with life. He became the first person to see microorganisms. From then on, almost every thing he saw, he became the first human to see it. By the time he died at the age of 90, he, an amateur, had become one of the Royal Society’s most famous members. Due to his suspicious attitude, he never shared or taught his lens-making technique to anyone. In one letter, he complained that students were more interested in money or reputation than making discoveries. His bias almost destroyed his legacy because when others looked through their inferior microscopes, they saw nothing, so the interest in microbiology declined. It would be a century and a half later until new discoveries were again made in the field of microbes. 重點單字 convince：説服 invisible：看不見的 organism：生物 lense：鏡片 microscope：顯微鏡 telescope：望遠鏡 Dutch：荷蘭人 lack：缺乏 match：匹配 magnify：放大 object：物品 time：倍數 instrument: 工具 unrivaled：無人可比的 outstanding：傑出的 microscopist：顯微鏡家 amateur：業餘者 conduct：進行 incredibly：非常地 curiosity：好奇心 teem with：充滿 suspicious：多疑的 reputation：名聲 legacy：遺產 bias：偏見 inferior：劣等的 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！☕️ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

Stonehenge （巨石陣）is probably the most famous prehistoric structure in England. It is a collection of enormous rectangular stones arranged in a circle in an open field south of London. Archeologists say that Stonehenge was built over 5000 years ago, made up of 800 gigantic rocks. Some weigh more than two African elephants put together. To this day, historians still don’t know how the rocks were moved there. There were no trucks, cranes (起重機）available 5000 years ago to transport the enormous rocks to the field. Geologists believe most of the rocks are from a quarry（採石場） 200 miles away. Recently they discovered one of them is actually transported from Scotland, which is 400 miles away. Historians think whoever built it probably moved the rocks over water, be it by the sea or the ocean. It’s the most probable explanation.

When asked what he uses to write, to doodle, to take note, the AI poster boy, Sam Altman actually prefers the pen, even recommending several pens to a podcast host that interviewed him recently. Even though computer keyboards and tablets may dominate our lives, scientists are actually telling us not to write off pens and note pads just yet because the pen is still mightier than the keyboard . For one thing, tablets and notebook computers create ample opportunities to be distracted. How many of you will switch to FB, IG when you are in a dull lecture? Moreover taking notes by hand will slow down the process of note taking, which is what makes it more useful in the long run. People who take longhand notes have to be very selective since they can’t write down everything they heard, so that extra time of processing information is beneficial to your cognitive learning. You can remember conceptual information better. Therefore, students who take notes by hand tend to be able to retain more knowledge and perform better on exams than those who simply type in what they hear onto the keyboard because those working on paper have to execute the preliminary stage 第一階段的 of summarizing and comprehension. In contrast, those working on keyboard tend to just type in everything they heard without digesting first.

Have you heard of an exoplanet called HD 187933 b? Don’t worry if you haven’t**, **because neither have I. You might wonder what an exoplanet is. An exoplanet is a planet outside our solar system. HD 187933 b is very far away from us. In fact it will take 200,000 years to get there by rocket. To the human eye, this planet looks like Earth with its bright blue color, but it’s extremely inhospitable. First because of its close distance to its sun, the planet is scorching hot. And if you are caught in the rain, it will definitely kill you because when it rains, it’s not water. Instead, it’s liquid glass. To make the living condition even more dire is its wind blows up to seven times the speed of sound. And just when you think the situation cannot get any worse, here’s one more to the list. Recently astronomers figured out there’s hydrogen sulfide in its atmosphere, so the planet reeks of rotten egg stench. exoplanet 太陽系外的行星 solar system 太陽系 inhospitable 不友善的 scorching hot 灼熱難耐的 dire 可怕的 speed of sound 音速 astronomers 天文學家 hydrogen sulfide 硫化氫 atmosphere 大氣 rotten 腐臭的 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

Wi-Fi is now essential to every modern person’s life, but have you heard of Li-Fi. It’s been boasted as the new technology that could rock the world of the Internet. Li-Fi stands for light fidelity. Instead of using radio waves to transmit information like Wi-Fi, Li-Fi uses light waves, which makes the process faster and more secure. How does Li-Fi work? With this technology, your Internet would actually be transmitted through LED light bulbs, which would also provide the sources of light. So you basically kill two birds with one stone. Another advantage of Li-Fi is that it’s immune to occasional interference from other radio signals that can sometimes disrupt Wi-Fi. Naturally being man-made, it’s far from perfect. Unlike Wi-Fi, which can pass through walls, Li-Fi is limited to the room you are in because the devices have to be able to catch the light. Due to this limitation, it’s still too early to say whether it will replace Wi-Fi.

So not just young people in Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan don’t want to have kids, so do those in the US. In fact, fertility rates are declining throughout the developed world, and the decline in the US actually accelerated after 2008. Last year, the fertility rate dipped to 1.6 births per 1,000 women, a historic low. One of the reasons is that young people want to reach a certain level of financial stability before starting a family. Unfortunately, this has become increasingly harder because of the rise of mortgage rates and childcare costs. Moreover many young people are growing more pessimistic about the future of the world due to climate change, gun violence, and the recent pandemic. According to one social scientist who has interviewed many young people, they view having children as a decision you can make when you are ready, so they are reluctant to enter parenthood if they can’t provide their children with what they think is necessary. So stop accusing them of being selfish when they say they don’t want or are not ready to have kids. fertility rates 生育率 decline 衰退 accelerate 加速 dip 落下 financial stability 經濟穩定 mortgage rates 房貸 pessimistic 悲觀的 a decision you can make when you are ready 一個做足準備才能行動的決定 reluctant 不情願的 necessary 必要的 stop accusing 不要再控訴 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

Being an avid reader, this tiny town is definitely my paradise, and on my bucket list to visit someday. Hobart, a small village with only 400 residents in New York state, has eight independent bookstores. One specializes in mysteries and science fiction. One caters to lovers of arts. It has attracted so many book lovers that it hosts several book festivals every year as well as some book sales events. The whole book trend began in 2002 when a lawyer named Diana Adams from Manhattan decided to open an antique bookstore which is now known for selling books published in 1850. She wanted to do this because this little town was having trouble attracting businesses even after a local entrepreneur offered to rent out his vacant storefront properties for a dollar a year. The idea came after she heard about this small town in Wales, which houses 20 bookstores despite its small population. No longer does Hobart have trouble luring visitors. In fact, it has become a destination of pilgrimage for readers and writers alike. So perhaps instead of going to one of those hot tourist spots which are always crowded and expensive, you can go to Hobart, where you can get a book and a cookie for only $2 and engage in stimulating conversations with fellow book lovers. avid reader 閱讀狂熱者 bucket list 夢想清單 cater to 迎合、投合、提供 antique bookstore 古董書店 beV known for 因…而出名 entrepreneur 創業家 storefront properties 臨街店鋪資產 destination of pilgrimage 朝聖目的地 engage in stimulating conversations 參與激發腦力的對話 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Isabella Ducrot doesn’t fit into your image of a young, struggling artist. In fact it wasn’t until 2019, at the age of 88, did her works become internationally recognized. Today this Italian widow is still discovering the joy of painting at the age of ninety-three. This summer a prestigious museum in France is hosting her first international solo museum show, calling her “a young artist with a young career”. Despite her late start, Ducrot is experiencing a full blossom of artistic productivity. Collectors of her works remark that her paintings exude this intense sense of play and discovery that one will never guess that it’s created by a ninety-one year old. Besides painting, she has also flourished as a writer of essays and short stories. Every morning between eight-thirty and ten-thirty she writes because that’s when she writes most intelligently. She began to study philosophy in earnest in her sixties by taking philosophy classes at a local university and working privately with scholars. Being very old has intensified her sense of present. If she has wisdom to offer, it has to do with living fully, even without a future. She said, “ because we are like prisoners in a jail, we know that there’s no tomorrow.

This summer, popular tourist spots are flooded with even more tourists. Many residents are fed up with the situation, and some of them have even taken their anger to the streets or out on innocent tourists, like what my previous episode said about Barcelona. The city government of Copenhagen is actually taking a different approach. As a saying goes, if you can’t beat them, join them. And in Copenhagen’s case, they even went a step further. It decided to reward tourists who behave environmentally responsible. Beginning July this year, visitor who display climate-friendly behavior by participating in the city’s green initiative, such as cycling, traveling by train, will be granted access to museum tours, kayak rental, free meals and more. How does this new policy work? Well, for example, Copenhagen surf school will offer a free lunch to surfers who participate in 30 minutes of beach cleanup after finishing their surf course. The city hopes that other cities around the world will follow suit and come up with their own incentives to encourage more sustainable tourism behavior. be flooded with ph. 被… 淹沒 be fed up with ph. 受夠了 take one's anger out on ph. 把…的憤怒宣洩在… approach n. 做法 go/take a step further ph. 採取更進一步的行動 initiative n. 倡議 kayak n. 獨木舟 surfers n. 衝浪者 follow suit ph. 效仿 incentive n. 誘因 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

A group of seventh and eight graders in Pennsylvania set up fake TikTok accounts impersonating their teachers. In other words, they used their teachers’ names to create fake accounts, which they uploaded reels full of pedophilia hints, racist and homophobic memes as well as make-up sexual hookups among teachers. Hundreds of students viewed, followed, and commented on the fake accounts. The online harassment has made some teachers worry that social media platforms are turning students into young adults who show lack of empathy. Fearing that they might become the next victims, some teachers are hesitant to punish students who act up in class. Some teachers find the whole incident demoralizing. One teacher said that he had spent years building a reputation as a dedicated teacher, but an impersonator simply assassinated his character with few memes. One educators said that spending hours and hours on TikTok has desensitized ( 鈍化） the students to the fact that teachers are humans with feelings. impersonate v. 冒充 In other words adv. 換而言之 pedophilia n. 戀童癖 homophobic a. 恐同的 harassment n. 騷擾 hesitant to ph. 遲疑去… Incident n. 事件、插曲 demoralize v. 道德淪喪 dedicated a. 專注的 assassinate v. 暗殺 desensitize v. 使麻木不仁 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

In October of 2023, some female high school students in New Jersey discovered that some boys at school used artificial intelligence software to fabricate some nude photos of them and started circulating those images online. The same event also happened to a group of high school girls living in Texas. This news is worrisome because it shows that you don’t have to be technically savvy to know how to create fake images that look very authentic and realistic. This technology is readily available for everyone. All users have to do is upload a photo to an app and ask AI to make a version where the subject of the image is naked. And once the photo is made, it can be spread like a wildfire on social media. What makes the victims and their parents even more upset is that school are not aggressively dealing with the problem. School spokespersons say that they have consulted the cases with local police and that schools are having difficulties dealing with challenges and impact that artificial intelligence and other latest technology that are available to teenagers at any time and anywhere present. Simply put, they don’t have any experience on how to deal with this phenomenon. I think this is a deeply traumatizing experience for the girls who are victims to deep fake nude because school is supposed to be this safe and protective environment where you go and learn and make friends. Instead you end up being victimized and humiliated. fabricate v. 偽造 circulate v. 傳播 technically savvy a. 對科技很上手的 authentic a. 真實的 spread like a wildfire ph. 如野火般蔓延 aggressively dealing with the problem ph. 積極地處理問題 consult with ph. 與某人諮詢 simply put adv. 簡單地說 traumatizing experience n. 創傷經驗 victim n. 受害者 be supposed to be ph. 應該要是 be humiliated ph. 遭受侮辱 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

As a parent, you should know more and more young people are experimenting with vaping, or e-cigarettes, so it’s crucial that you are aware of the danger posed by vaping. Foremost, e-cigarettes often contain more nicotine than regular cigarettes, so they are more addictive and harmful. Moreover some substances found in e-cigarettes have been linked to an increased risk for cancer. What’s more, scientists have yet to gain enough data regarding long-term effects of vaping on adolescent health and development. To make e-cigarettes more appealing to teens, companies package them with fruit and candy flavors and sleek designs. If you discover your teen is vaping, don’t react in an aggressive manner. The calmer you are, the likelier your kid is willing to confide in you and listen to some suggestions. Then try to find out what drove them to vape. Was it peer pressure, depression, or academic anxiety? Because vaping is a relatively new problems, scientists are still trying to find out what the best ways to help teens quit are.

Administrators at a middle school in North Carolina in the US are finally fed up. Tired of students skipping up on classes in order to create TikTok videos in front of school bathroom mirrors, they removed all the mirrors. The spokesperson of the school said that some students were asking to use the bathroom seven or more times a day and spending at least five minutes filming in it. As to the effectiveness of the measure, the spokesperson said, since removing the mirrors, we have seen drastic decrease in bathroom visits from students. Parents and social media users support the school’s approach. However, some education experts said the success of this tactic might be short-lived because students will eventually find another way to make TikTok videos while they are in schools. administrators (n.) 行政人員 be fed up (ph.)受夠了 skip up on class (ph.) 曠課、請假 remove (v.) 移除 mirror (n.) 鏡子 spokesperson (n.) 發言人 drastic (a.) 猛烈的 tactic (n.) 戰術 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Fed up with housing shortage, overcrowding, and increasingly high cost of living, the residents of Barcelona took their anger to the streets on the second Saturday of July. About 2800 people joined the demonstration. Some carried signs that said tourist, go home, and you are not welcome. Some even squirted water guns at diners eating al fresco (戶外用餐）. The demonstration as well as with anti-tourist sentiment might hurt the tourism industry, which is core to Barcelona’s economy. But many locals say that tourists are everywhere, crowding monuments, streets, and restaurants. Moreover, by catering to the needs of tourists, the local are also afraid that Barcelona might lose its other unique, genuine characters, since most tourists tend to want to see the same attractions and sample the same food, like paella (海鮮飯）. However, for people who have jobs in the hospitality industry, tourism is fundamental, so they believe taking frustration out on tourists is not the proper way to solve the problems.

如大家所預期的現任知事小池百合子成功邁向第三個任期。紐約時報這次用很有趣的角度報導東京都知事選舉。標題為 Is This Vibrant Democracy in Japan, or Has the Circus Come to Town? Fifty-six candidates ran in the election for the governor of the world’s largest city, Tokyo. Why so many candidates contented for the position? Campaign rules allow anyone who pays a deposit of about $19,000 to run for the governor, and each candidate gets to have two six-minute slots on NHK as well as the right to post signs on one of 14,000 official billboards across the city. The intention of the design was to level the playing field so everyone can participate in politics. However, the system has been taken advantage of by people who want to reach a broader audience with messages that might have little to do with politics. For example, one candidate dressed up as Joker advocated for the legalization of marijuana and offered polygamy as a way to solve the decline of birth rates. Another candidate was a former pro-wrestler who promised to use artificial intelligence to complete government tasks. There was also a young female entrepreneur who took off her shirt during a campaign video and promised fun things. Despite the sheer volume of candidates, the race was very status quo. Everyone expected the incumbent to win. 精選字彙： vibrant (a.) 蓬勃的 content for (v.) 爭奪 governor (n.) 州長 candidate (n.) 候選人 run for (ph.) 競選 deposit (n.) 保證金 slot (n.) 時段 official billboard (n.) 官方看板 participate in (v.) 參與 intention (n.) 意圖、立意 take advantage of （ph.）利用 level the playing field 營造一個公平競爭的舞台 legalization (n.) 合法化 marijuana (n.) 大麻 polygamy (n.) 一夫多妻 decline (n.) 衰落 decline of birth rates (n.) 生育率下降 wrestler (n.) 摔角選手 entrepreneur (n.) 創業家 promise (v.) 允諾 sheer (a.) 十足的 the status quo (n.) 現狀 incumbent (n.) 任職者 感謝高雄書林今年在盛夏的邀約！我們即將在113/08/19（一）～113/08/21（三）在高雄的書林書店，舉辦【洞見文學：暑期文學快充課】 我們將透過青少年小說Holes《別有洞天》，引領有興趣的學生與讀者，透過李老師精心設計的引導式問題，帶你深度體驗閱讀的樂趣，絕對是有別於以往枯燥且乏味的閱讀課，同場還加映國際時事英聽，不只要快充你的閱讀能力，更要讓你的聽力加倍提升！ 對象｜學生、想多方面提升英文能力的讀者 時間｜113/8/19 - 113/8/21，10:00 - 12:30 優惠｜學員限定，活動日於現場購書享75折優惠 費用｜1800元，含講義費、𝙃𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙨一本（原價315元）、高中職英文學習歷程報告範例一本（原價200元）、結業證書 報名連結 https://myppt.cc/Bmj7kU 李老師與小幫手Aaron期待今夏與你的見面！ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

你知道鞋子的設計是可以維持長達1000年的嗎？然而，每年有數十億的鞋子被生產，我們卻短短只穿100天之後就丟棄，而這些人造化合物卻不會因為我們不穿就消失，反而正悄悄地在地球上留下傷及土壤、水源、與動物健康的污染物，即便許多廠商正開發以植物為基底的鞋底材質設計，但仍然抵不過舊鞋難以再回收利用的事實。 本集文稿： Do you know that shoes are designed to last 1000 years, but most of us just wear them for 100 days? And because of the materials that they are made from, with every step we take, our shoes leave behind an invisible trail of contaminants, which can potentially harm the soil, water, and animal health. Just 2022 alone, 24 billion pairs of sneakers were manufactured, and each pair contained different types of synthetic and plastic materials. As a result, every year about tens of thousands tons of microplastics seep into our oceans. Moreover, footwear alone accounts for 1.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Finally the footwear industry is starting to do something about it. Several brands are starting to develop plant-based soles that won’t leave plastics behind when they break down. However, because of the complexity of the shoemaking process, it’s nearly impossible to recycle shoes or take them apart to reuse the materials.

When Kristie Ting was little, all she wanted to do was to own an ice cream truck so she could drive around and spread the joy of eating ice cream around. Her love of ice cream was passed down from her family, mainly her grandfather, who used to take her to McDonald to get soft-served ice cream. However it was during an exchange trip to Japan that solidified her passion for the dessert. She was exposed to a variety of interesting ice cream flavors, like matcha and peach melon (哈蜜瓜）. Despite her strong love for ice cream, she didn’t get a job involving it. Instead, she worked at an advertising firm, where she saw and experienced discrimination and bullying. She bided her time and quietly scheming about her next move. One day five years ago, while scrolling online, she saw a vintage ice cream van on sale. She jumped on the opportunity, and started her ice cream truck business before the pandemic hit. During the lockdowns, she was allowed to drive her ice cream truck to beaches and spread the joy to communities. Her story serves as a reminder of never giving up on your dream. 精選字彙： refuse to give up (v.) 拒絕放棄 childhood dream (n.) 兒時夢想 drive around (v.) 開車到處晃 spread (v.)散佈 be passed down from (v.) 由…傳下來 mainly (adv.) 主要地 used to (v.) 曾常於 soft-served ice cream (n.) 蛋捲冰淇淋 solidify (v.) 強化 passion for 感到熱情 expose to (v.) 接觸到 variety (n.) 多樣 matcha (n.) 抹茶 peach melon (n.) 哈密瓜 Despite 子句, 主句. 即便… 仍然…。 involve (v.) 牽涉到 advertising firm (n.) 廣告公司 discrimination and bullying (n.) 歧視及霸凌 bide one's time (片語) 等候良機 scheme (v.) 計謀 scroll online 上網瀏覽 vintage (a.) 古老的 jump on the opportunity 把握時機 lockdown (n.) 區域封鎖 beV allowed (v.) 被獲准 感謝高雄書林今年在盛夏的邀約！我們即將在113/08/19（一）～113/08/21（三）在高雄的書林書店，舉辦【洞見文學：暑期文學快充課】 我們將透過青少年小說Holes《別有洞天》，引領有興趣的學生與讀者，透過李老師精心設計的引導式問題，帶你深度體驗閱讀的樂趣，絕對是有別於以往枯燥且乏味的閱讀課，同場還加映國際時事英聽，不只要快充你的閱讀能力，更要讓你的聽力加倍提升！ 報名連結： https://myppt.cc/Bmj7kU 李老師與小幫手Aaron期待今夏與你的見面！ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

曾一度被列瀕臨絕種名單中的大堡礁，在今年底不再亮起紅燈，這是全球唯一能在太空中肉眼可見的生物群，更是孕育出一千五百種海洋生物的搖籃，然而聯合國教科文組織提醒，海水溫度不斷提高與有毒物質被帶入海裡，仍不可漠視珊瑚白化的環境生態問題。 本集文稿： At the end of June this year, the Great Barrier Reef of Australia was finally off the endangered list. The Great Barrier Reef is located in the northeast coast of Australia, and it’s enormous. It’s actually bigger than the Great Wall of China. Moreover it’s the only living thing that’s visible from space. Since 1981, the Great Barrier Reef has been a world heritage site. It’s home to more than four hundred species of colorful corals, 1500 species of fish as well as home to some endangered marine animals such as the large green sea turtles. For a while UNESCO has been worried about coral bleaching, which is caused by rising water temperature and the soil and chemicals washing into the ocean water. When coral bleaching happens, tiny algae living in corals start to die off, making corals turn white. Australian government is committed to keeping this spectacular reef safe and alive. 精選字彙： The Great Barrier Reef 大堡礁 locate (v.) 座落 enormous (a.) 龐大的 endangered (a.) 瀕臨絕種的 northeast (n.) 東北 Great Wall of China 大陸萬里長城 world heritage site 世界遺產景點 visible (a.) 可見的 marine (a.) 海洋的 green sea turtles (n.) 綠蠵龜 coral bleaching (n.) 珊瑚白化 algae (n.) 水藻類 spectacular (a.) 壯麗的 感謝高雄書林今年在盛夏的邀約！我們即將在113/08/19（一）～113/08/21（三）在高雄的書林書店，舉辦【洞見文學：暑期文學快充課】 我們將透過青少年小說Holes《別有洞天》，引領有興趣的學生與讀者，透過李老師精心設計的引導式問題，帶你深度體驗閱讀的樂趣，絕對是有別於以往枯燥且乏味的閱讀課，同場還加映國際時事英聽，不只要快充你的閱讀能力，更要讓你的聽力加倍提升！ 報名連結： https://myppt.cc/Bmj7kU 李老師與小幫手Aaron期待今夏與你的見面！ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

世界上的比賽無奇不有，在美國加州，有個叫「世界最醜狗狗比賽」，舉辦近五十年，今年獲得冠軍寶座的是已參賽五年的北京狗Wild Thang。雖說是比賽，但事實上是鼓勵大家擁抱不完美與正面看待缺陷。 本集文稿： Have you ever heard of the World’s Ugliest Dog contest? The competition has been taking place in California, US for more than fifty years. The winner of this year’s contest is an eight-year- old Pekingese named Wild Thang. This is Wild Thang’s fifth entry to the contest. After coming second on three prior occasions, Wild Thang finally won this year’s championship. As a puppy, Wild Thang caught a virus that rendered his teeth unable to grow, so his tongue always hangs out of his mouth. The goal of this contest is to encourage people to adopt dogs from shelter rather than buy them from breeders. The contest also wants people to celebrate the imperfection that makes them so special and unique. The owner of Wild Thang received $5000 and an appearance on NBC’s Today Show. 字彙精選： ugliest (a.) 最醜的 competition (n.) 競賽 contest (n.) 比賽 Pekingese (n.) 北京狗 entry (n.) 參賽 prior (a.) 先前的 occasion (n.) 盛典 finally (adv.) 最終地 championship (n.) 冠軍 virus (n.) 病毒 render (v.) 使得 hang out (v.) 吊掛 to encourage (v.) 去鼓勵 to adopt (v.) 去領養 shelter (n.) 收容所 breeder (n.) 動物繁殖商 celebrate (v.) 慶祝 imperfection (n.) 缺陷 unique (a.) 獨特的 appearance (n.) 露面 感謝高雄書林今年在盛夏的邀約！我們即將在113/08/19（一）～113/08/21（三）在高雄的書林書店，舉辦【洞見文學：暑期文學快充課】 我們將透過青少年小說Holes《別有洞天》，引領有興趣的學生與讀者，透過李老師精心設計的引導式問題，帶你深度體驗閱讀的樂趣，絕對是有別於以往枯燥且乏味的閱讀課，同場還加映國際時事英聽，不只要快充你的閱讀能力，更要讓你的聽力加倍提升！ 報名連結： https://myppt.cc/Bmj7kU 李老師與小幫手Aaron期待今夏與你的見面！ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

你有聽過聖馬利諾這個國家嗎？這個沒有火車與飛機直達的國家，還是全球最古老的共和國，從四世紀建國到現在，保留鵝卵石街道的風貌，然而位居義大利的疆土上，為什麼卻沒被併吞呢？ 本集文稿： Have you ever heard of a country named San Marino? I have to admit that I have never heard of it before doing this podcast. Anyway, San Marino is the world’s oldest republic. Legend has it that it was founded by a Croatian stonemason named San Marino on September 3, 301. He and his followers climbed to this country in the mountains of northern Italy to escape the prosecution of Christians by the Roman Empire Diocletian. San Marino is so tiny that it doesn’t have an airport or a train station. To get there, you have to land in Italy and get there by car. The population of the country is only 33600, and it has a nickname of Land of Clifftop Castles. Because the country is so ancient, the roads are all paved with cobblestone. There are lifts or cable cars dotted all over the capital to help people who have difficulties walking up the steep cobblestone roads. 精選單字： to admit (v.) 得承認 republic (n.) 共和國 was founded (v.) 被建立 prosecution (n.) 迫害 population (n.) 人口數 Diocletian 戴克里先，羅馬帝國皇帝 ancient (a.) 古老的 paved with (v.) 用… 鋪滿 cobblestone (n.) 鵝卵石 lifts (n.) 電梯 cable cars (n.) 纜車 感謝高雄書林今年在盛夏的邀約！我們即將在113/08/19（一）～113/08/21（三）在高雄的書林書店，舉辦【洞見文學：暑期文學快充課】 我們將透過青少年小說Holes《別有洞天》，引領有興趣的學生與讀者，透過李老師精心設計的引導式問題，帶你深度體驗閱讀的樂趣，絕對是有別於以往枯燥且乏味的閱讀課，同場還加映國際時事英聽，不只要快充你的閱讀能力，更要讓你的聽力加倍提升！ 報名連結： https://myppt.cc/Bmj7kU 李老師與小幫手Aaron期待今夏與你的見面！ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

後疫情時代，許多學生寧願待在家也不願去上學，而美國正試驗約台幣八百元，以獎勵學生兩週內高出席率的實驗。 本集文稿： Chronic absenteeism has been a huge problem for the US educational system since the pandemic ended. Educators and lawmakers are experimenting with different ways to solve the issue. One that Ohio state has come up with is to pay kids to go to school. If this policy is approved, the state government will run some tests among kindergartners and ninth graders. The students will be split up into two groups.

你知道日本是最富有的民主國家中，仍然未通過同性婚姻法的嗎？Netflix在近期上架的男男實境秀《The Boyfriend 夏日咖啡男友》，期盼能為日本帶來什麼影響呢？ 本集文稿： Japan is the most popular country to visit among Taiwanese tourists. But do you know that Japan is the only country among the world’s wealthiest democracies that has not legalized same-sex marriages. And a Netflix reality show hopes to change this. Over ten episodes of “The Boyfriend” will be available in 190 countries beginning on July 9, a group of nine men gather in a luxury beach house outside Tokyo. The content is wholesome and entirely rated in G because the executive producer, said he wanted to “portray same-sex relationships as they really are.” Members from the LGBTQ community have high expectations for the show. Although polls show that more than 70 percent of the Japanese public supports legalizing same-sex unions, gay and transgender people are still subject to discrimination and hate speech. A college professor who has studied Japan’s LGBTQ culture for a long time wonders whether the show will bring about eventual political change though because she said cutesification doesn’t normally bring about radical political reform. tourist (n.) 遊客 democracy (n.) 民主 not legalized (n.) 未合法 same-sex marriage (n.) 同性婚姻 gather (v.) 聚集 luxury (n.) 豪華的 wholesome (a.) 健康的 entirely (adv.) 徹底的 rated in G (n.) 宜闔家觀賞 executive producer (n.) 執行製作 portray (v.) 描寫 expectation (n.) 期待 polls (n.) 民調 transgender (n.) 跨性別 discrimination (n.) 歧視 hate speech (n.) 帶仇恨的言詞 eventual (a.) 結果的 cutesification (n.) 可愛化 radical (a.) 激進的 political (a.) 政治的 reform (n.) 改革 感謝高雄書林今年在盛夏的邀約！我們即將在113/08/19（一）～113/08/21（三）在高雄的書林書店，舉辦【洞見文學：暑期文學快充課】 我們將透過青少年小說Holes《別有洞天》，引領有興趣的學生與讀者，透過李老師精心設計的引導式問題，帶你深度體驗閱讀的樂趣，絕對是有別於以往枯燥且乏味的閱讀課，同場還加映國際時事英聽，不只要快充你的閱讀能力，更要讓你的聽力加倍提升！ 報名連結： https://myppt.cc/Bmj7kU 李老師與小幫手Aaron期待今夏與你的見面！ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

本集是久違的英聽時事極短篇，我們一起來聽聽看在日本的女性，在結紮手術前得面臨哪些難題呢？ 本集文稿： Do you know that in Japan when women want to seek sterilization procedures, they will encounter conditions that are the most burdensome in the world? How so? First they must already have children and have to prove that pregnancy might endanger their health. Moreover they are required to obtain the consent of their spouses. Therefore surgeries like hysterectomies（子宮切除術）, tubal ligation（輸卵管結紮）are impossible for single, childless women to obtain. Currently five women are suing Japanese government for violating their constitutional rights to equality and self-determination, demanding laws like Maternal Protection Act be overturned. They described the law as excessive paternalism and said it encouraged the society to view women’s bodies as only a birthing vessel. Experts say that plaintiffs（起訴人）may face considerable barrier and pushback because the government is pushing to increase birth rate in Japan, which is among the lowest in developed countries. 精選字彙： seek (v.) 尋找 sterilization procedure (n.) 結紮手術 burdensome (a.) 負荷的 pregnancy (n.) 懷孕 obtain (v.) 取得 consent (n.) 贊成 spouse (n.) 配偶 hysterectomies (n.)子宮切除術 tubal ligation (n.) 輸卵管結紮 single (a.) 單身的 childless (a.) 無子的 constitutional rights (n.) 憲法性權利 equality (n.) 平等 self-determination (n.) 自主決定 Maternal Protection Act (n.) 母性保護權 excessive (a.) 過度的 encourage (v.) 鼓勵 birthing vessel (n.) 生產工具 plaintiffs (n.) 起訴人 barrier (n.) 障礙 to increase (v.) 增加 developed countries (n.) 已開發的國家 感謝高雄書林今年在盛夏的邀約！我們即將在113/08/19（一）～113/08/21（三）在高雄的書林書店，舉辦【洞見文學：暑期文學快充課】 我們將透過青少年小說Holes《別有洞天》，引領有興趣的學生與讀者，透過李老師精心設計的引導式問題，帶你深度體驗閱讀的樂趣，絕對是有別於以往枯燥且乏味的閱讀課，同場還加映國際時事英聽，不只要快充你的閱讀能力，更要讓你的聽力加倍提升！ 報名連結： https://myppt.cc/Bmj7kU 李老師與小幫手Aaron期待今夏與你的見面！ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
在開始之前，我們先認識一些藥物名稱：opoid, fentanyl, OxyContin, heroin, morphine, opium，上述這些，都是止痛藥物，它們的立意都是為癌症患者或重大疾病患者減輕疼痛，但當含有成癮成分的止痛藥物，不再為了減輕疼痛，而是為了商業利益被濫用，病患甚至為了追求euphoria使身體亢奮狂喜的狀態，造成性命的垂危。造成這樣持續上演的悲劇是因誰而起的呢？ 參考書目：Empire of Pain : The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty 《疼痛帝國：薩克勒家族製藥王朝秘史》 作者：帕特里克·拉登·基夫Patrick Radden Keefe 精選字彙： overdose (n.) 過量服用 opioid crisis (n.) 鴉片類藥物危機 open house (n.) 參觀日 morphine (n.) 嗎啡 anxiety (n.) 焦慮 cocaine (n.) 古柯鹼 fentanyl (n.) 吩坦尼 Texas (n.) 德州 Austin 奧斯汀，是美國德州的首府 Kyle 凱爾，是一個位於美國德州海斯縣的城市 Center for Disease Control and Prevention 美國疾病管制與預防中心 highly addictive 高度成癮地 OxyContin (n.) 羥二氫可待因酮 heroin (n.) 海洛因 poppyseed (n.) 罌粟籽 opiate (n.) 含有罌粟籽能助安眠的鴉片劑 opoid (n.) 實驗室生產的類鴉片止痛劑 antiquity (n.) 古代 euphoria (n.) 亢奮狂喜的狀態 Socrates （古希臘哲學家）蘇格拉底 Cleopatra 埃及艷后 Purdue Pharma 普渡製藥廠 marketing campaign (n.) 行銷活動 Sackler Family 賽克勒家族 Hollywood movies 好萊塢電影 When Harry Met Sally《當哈利碰上莎莉》一部於1989年上映的愛情喜劇片 Sackler Wing 賽克勒藝廊 endow (v.) 捐贈 professorships (n.) 教授職銜 medical research (n.) 醫學研究 Great Depression 經濟大蕭條時期 Queens 皇后區，是美國紐約市的五個行政區之一 Psychiatric Center 精神科中心 Poland 波蘭 endorse (v.) 認可、支持 blatantly deceptive (n.) 公開欺騙 antibiotic (n.) 抗生素 Valium (n.) 鎮定劑 prescription (n.) 處方簽 Tennessee 田納西州，位於美國南方，首府為納許維爾，是美國音樂聖地 精選好句： Allen Frances: Their name has been pushed forward as the epitome (典範) of good works and of the fruits of the capitalist system. But when it comes down to it, they’ve earned this fortune at the expense of millions of people who are addicted. It’s shocking how they’ve gotten away with it. 這個家族的名字，是資本主義下堪稱典範的豐碩產物，然而，為他們賺進財富的卻是數百萬人因藥物成癮所花的費用，對他們如何洗白的行為真是驚為天人。 Arthur, he recognized that selling new drugs requires a seduction of not just the patient but the doctor who writes the prescription. 要能成功推廣醫藥，不只是要説服病患，最重要的是要説服醫生。 因為病人對醫生的信任，只要醫生跟病人說吃什麼藥，做什麼治療，病人和家屬通常會照單全收。 He would devise campaigns that appealed directly to clinicians, placing splashy ads in medical journals and distributing literature to doctors’ offices. 他會將宣傳品或醫療期刊直接給臨床醫生或直接放到醫生的辦公室。 感謝高雄書林今年在盛夏的邀約！我們即將在113/07/08（一）～113/07/12（五）在高雄的書林書店，舉辦【洞見文學：給青少年的暑期文學快充課】 我們將透過青少年小說Holes《別有洞天》，引領有興趣的學生與讀者，透過李老師精心設計的引導式問題，帶你深度體驗閱讀的樂趣，絕對是有別於以往枯燥且乏味的閱讀課，同場還加映國際時事英聽，不只要快充你的閱讀能力，更要讓你的聽力加倍提升！ 報名連結： https://docs.google.com/forms/u/1/d/e/1FAIpQLSdj-qg2vnciEeDi8b7B_sF6MxXSS7PIsM5j-KftYgfO2y8WVw/viewform 李老師與小幫手Aaron期待今夏與你的見面！ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

你知道什麼是GLP-1嗎？含有GLP-1成分的Wegovy與Ozempic藥劑，已經讓很多人在短短兩個月，就達到減輕十公斤的效果，甚至很多政商名流都搶著使用。 然而，這款被作為減肥藥的藥劑，原先是為了給糖尿病患者使用以促進胰島素來降低血糖，但具有降低食慾的功效，卻意外被作為當前最有效的減肥藥。 在社群媒體的助攻下，已經紅透全球，甚至位於丹麥的製藥廠已經貢獻該國可觀的GDP數字，為了穩定經濟市場，還必須降低利率。 但面對這股熱潮，卻沒有人能保證副作用的影響，這樣的新興減肥藥劑，我們該如何正確看待呢？ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

這絕對是《李老師陪你探索英文世界》開台以來，最勵志又鼓舞人心的一集。 小說導讀：Raymie Nightingale《中譯：少女三劍客》 作者：Kate Dicamillo 作者介紹： 孩提時期，體弱多病患慢性肺炎的Kate已經帶給她身體上的拖磨，想不到在家庭破碎的環境下，更蒙上她精神壓力的打擊。不僅如此，在第一堂的發音拼字課後，更是完全聽不懂，憑藉著生母一點一滴地引導，使得她慢慢重拾信心，但出了社會後，運途似乎沒有順利多少，投稿作品後，更是收到多達1000多封的婉拒信件⋯ 如果是同樣的機遇發生在自己身上，會怨天尤人？還是繼續逆風挺進呢？ 小說內容介紹： 三位有著不同際遇的女孩為了奪下佛州輪胎美少女后冠，交織在故事的主軸線上，但她們絕非為了表面的功名利祿，而是希望藉著比賽的成果，撫平小時候刻劃在心底深處因原生家庭所致的缺憾。 而在您心中，是不是也有一塊需要被療癒的童年時光呢？ Bonus: 李老師首度公開國二在美國求學時，曾一度也想放棄學習？ 受傷的天使也要先暖好自己，才能溫暖眾人的手。 李老師與小幫手Aaron邀您打開Raymie Nightingale，一起體會Kate Dicamillo的優雅文字魅力與一睹隱藏在三位少女背後的人生故事 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 李老師的Facebook與Instagram： Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAK 小幫手Aaron的Instagram： https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

英文敘述 Kara Swisher is not the one who is afraid to leave her comfort zone. When her career in Washington Post was going really well and she was on the trajectory to go really high there, on one bright sunny day she just suddenly had this epiphany that it was time to leave. She just felt she was no longer growing as a journalist there, so she quit the Washington Post for the Wall Street Journal and became their tech reporter. However, the same epiphany occurred years later. She just wanted to do something else that’s better for her. So again she made the choice of leaving another prestigious job. Kara Swisher interviewed Jobs more than seven times in his lifetime. In the last interview she did with him before his passing when he was looking severely ill, Swisher asked two forthright questions that shocked everyone in the conference. One was “What do you do all day?”Second question was, “What are you going to do with the rest of your life?” She didn’t ask these two questions with mean intentions. She was just genuinely interested and curious. Jobs gave wonderful and thoughtful answers to both questions. Even to his dying days, Jobs was still thinking about innovation. Swisher says that she thinks Steve Jobs had a successful life because he was who he was. She admires people who are true to themselves. She also wants people to remember her as someone who’s not afraid to be herself when she is gone one day. She also likes to be known as a good parent. She’s proud of her four children. As to what are the keys to good parents? She finds this obsession with academic performance and achievement to be disturbing. She honestly believes that most of her schooling is insignificant. She says she’s ambitious and hardworking simply because she’s happy with what she does. One thing she’s very particular about is that as a parent, you have to teach your kids the consequences of their conducts. You shouldn’t shield them from owning to their mistakes. Moreover she doesn’t believe in sugar-coating reality. Once, she was attending a PTA meeting at one of her sons’ schools, and a parent just remarked that every child was special. She immediately retorted, “No, they are not. If everyone is special, then no one is special! Let’s tell the honest truth here. We all know the rules and the status symbols and how we are always ranking people based on their wealth, status, creativity.” 請李老師喝杯咖啡，支持她繼續說英文故事 https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAKU https://podcasts.apple.com/tw/podcast/pivot/id1073226719?i=1000603750756 https://podcasts.apple.com/tw/podcast/on-with-kara-swisher/id1643307527 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

英文敘述 Kara Swisher has a remarkable personal story. When she was five, her father suddenly died of a cerebral hemorrhage. This incident has a tremendous impact on her and her two brothers. They all have a strong sense of mortality. She said, “There’s a theory, and a great book about how kids whose parents die can be very high-functioning people, because the worst thing happened to them, and they got over it.” So not only Kara but also her two brothers have this incredible drive to constantly move forward in life because they know how impermanent life can be. Kara Swisher suffered from a stroke in 2012, and luckily it didn’t do too much damage to her physically. After she recovered from it, everyone around her thought she would slow down and focus less on her work and more on herself and family. But she was like, “are you kidding me?! I could literally die any minute now, so I need to keep going!” People told her that when she died, she wouldn’t miss time spent at work, but she retorted that she would because she genuinely loved her work. Kara Swisher answers that she just works harder and is more persistent. Moreover, most people are handicapped by laziness and lack of observation. One common problem shared by many reporters is that they don’t take the time to analyze the information they get from interviews. They just quickly react, type, and publish. When asked why she became interested in tech news and the Internet, Kara Swishers answers that when she was little, she wanted to be in the military, like her dad, but because she is gay, she knew that she could not survive as gay in the military at that time. Then when she was an undergraduate, she wanted to be spy, but once again the environment in the intelligence field was hostile towards gay. However, her interest in espionage and propaganda and the effectiveness of propaganda did not ebb, which is probably why she’s attracted to the Internet because it’s also a form of propaganda. And like a spy, a reporter also needs to cultivate her sources, so she can get as much information about the person she’s about to interview. Therefore, at the time of the interview, se has already known so much about the interviewee that she knows when he/she is telling the truth or a lie. She doesn’t want things from people. She doesn’t need their love, I doesn’t need their money, she doesn’t want their acceptance or anything like that. She cares little about what people think of her, definitely not a people pleaser. Swisher says this has to do with her sexuality. Because she knows she’s gay when she was only four, she was actually super happy with the way she was born. After that, she discovered at every point in her life where she said what pleased her, she always got more successful. 請李老師喝杯咖啡，支持她繼續說英文故事 https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a https://youtu.be/_QCKTXLoZh4 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

On February 4, a US fighter jet shot down a surveillance ballon from China. China has insisted that it was a weather balloon that had drifted off its designated course. According to a US senior defense official, the balloon was trying to gather information about US military sites. The Chinese government denounced the move as an obvious overreaction. However, it’s not unusual for governments to use surveillance balloons to spy on other countries because they can take clearer images. As a matter of fact, the use of surveillance balloons can be traced as far back as the 1800s. They became an important tool for the military in World War I and II. 重點單字 fighter jet: 戰鬥機 shoot down-shot down: 射落 surveillance: 偵查 insist: 堅持 simply: 僅僅是 drift off one’s course: 漂離..軌道 designated: 指定的 according to: 根據 senior: 資深 defense officials: 國防部官員 gather: 收集 military site: 軍事基地 denounce: 公開譴責 obvious: 明顯的 overreaction: 反應過度 unusual: 不尋常的 as a matter of fact: 事實上 be traced back to: 被追溯到 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言。那我們就下集見了。 Talk to you next time on Exploring English with Ms Lee.

英文敘述 Japanese laws discouraging business with the yakuza effectively stop them from taking care of necessities like opening a bank account, getting a phone plan or renting an apartment until they can prove they’ve been out of the yakuza for five years. The process of leaving can be difficult; traditionally, it cost a finger joint. Nowadays, members can buy their freedom or sometimes just request early retirement for something as prosaic as a bad back. The announcement is faxed to gang offices around the country. Some of the Ryuyukai’s members carry a photo of the document on their phones, as proof of their excommunication. However, it’s unrealistic to expect people to completely sever ties to their old lives. Socially, it would be difficult to turn down an invitation to a wedding or a funeral. The ex-cons on the team clung to a flashy gangster image that belied their current living conditions. They wore sequined baseball hats. Loud colors. Tinted glasses. Everything branded (especially Louis Vuitton.) At one game, Mr. Ryuzaki handed out pink Christian Dior face masks. No one questioned their authenticity. 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言。那我們就下集見了。 Talk to you next time on Exploring English with Ms Lee.

英文敘述 On paper, the Ryuyukai were the most fearsome team in Japanese softball. A sort of mutual aid society for retired gangsters, the club had racked up nearly a century of hard time. The manager had been a top mob consigliere; the relief pitcher, who took the field in hot pink shoes, had once been sent to kill him. But on a cloudless day last March, these hardened ex-cons met their match: the Parent-Teacher Association of Nakanodai Elementary School. The P.T.A. showed no mercy, hitting pitch after pitch out of the scruffy park in suburban Tokyo. Midway through the game, the scorekeeper stopped counting. Losing is nothing new for Japan’s iconic gangsters, the yakuza. For over a decade, they have been suffering one defeat after another. An aging population has made it hard to find young recruits — more Japanese gangsters are in their 70s than in their 20s — and has diminished the once-thriving demand for the yakuza’s services. Society, too, has become less tolerant of them. The authorities have carried out a relentless legal assault on the criminal underworld. Crime is both less profitable and riskier: In 2021, a court sentenced the head of the most violent syndicate to death, a first that sent shock waves through the mob’s executive class. Over the last decade, the yakuza’s rolls have plummeted by nearly two-thirds, to 24,000. Many have struggled to reintegrate. Tattoos, missing fingers and long criminal records limit job opportunities and make it difficult to fit in. 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言。那我們就下集見了。 Talk to you next time on Exploring English with Ms Lee.

英文敘述 Who is Kara Swisher? Kara Swisher has been called Silicon Valley’s most feared and well-liked journalist by New York Magazine. Over the past decades she has interviewed many leading players in the tech and media industries, like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk. Why is she able to secure all the coveted interviews? Here are her answers. “ I do the work. I just work harder than other people. I really do. I interview more people. I call more people. I text more people. And so, I find out, and they can not talk to me-fine. I know anyway. I’d like to talk to you, I’d like to hear your side of the story. And the most important thing is, I think smart people-and these smart people like smart questions. They don’t like the fawning questions. They don’t like being licked up and down all day. They want someone who knew them before they were billionaires. Because when you are a billionaire, every day you’re so smart. Everyone wants something from you.” Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAKU -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

英文逐字搞 David Rubenstein interviewed 22 investors for his book. And he discovered that there are some common elements between them. First, they tend to be from blue-collar working class families. Second they tend to have good education. You can’t be a good investor by being a high school dropout. Third, they tend to be good at math. You don’t have to be a math wizard, but you need to be sensitive towards numbers. Fourth, they are all intellectually curious. They are not just curious about investment. They are curious about everything. Fifth, they tend to be workaholics and positive people. Like every human being, they also make mistakes, but they get over them and quickly get back on their feet. Last but not least, they are willing to go against conventional wisdom. They can think outside the box. GE CEO Jack Welch said he loved his children to pieces but he had made a mistake when he gave each of them a bunch of GE stocks when he became CEO. Although two of his children went to Harvard Business School and one went to Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, they all quit their jobs, disappointed their father. Welch said his children got too much money and no longer felt motives to do something with their lives, so if he could do it all over again, he wouldn’t have given it to them. First, you have to work hard. In order to be successful in life, you need to have a vision of where you want to go. Second, you need to be prepared. Prior preparation prevents poor performance. Third, try to be respectful of others. Remember humility is a virtue. Fourth, don’t think your parents are going to give you lots of money. Try to do something useful with your life, so your children and parents will believe that you lead a meaningful life. Finally, you need to learn to fail in order to succeed in life.

There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. There once was a very large lake here, the largest lake in Texas. That was over a hundred years ago. One hundred and ten years ago, Green Lake was the largest lake in Texas. It was full of clear cool water, and it sparkled like a giant emerald in the sun. It was especially beautiful in the spring, when the peach trees, which lined the shore, bloomed with pink and rose-colored blossoms. Katherine Barlow was the town‘s only schoolteacher. She was a wonderful teacher, full of knowledge and full of life. The children loved her. She taught classes in the evening for adults, and many of adults loved her as well. She was very pretty. Moreover she was also famous for her fabulous spiced peaches. Katherine Barlow had many admirers. One was Trout Walker. His real name was Charles Walker, but everyone called him Trout because his two feet smelled like a couple of dead fish. Most everyone in the town of Green Lake expected Miss Katherine to marry Trout Walker. He was the son of the richest man in the county. Trout had always gotten everything he ever wanted. He found it hard to believe that Miss Katherine had turned him down. Sam was not much older than twenty. He had onion field somewhere on the other side of the lake. He and his donkey, Mary Lou, would walk up and down the dirt roads of Green Lake selling onions. He told people in town that onions were good for the digestion, the liver, the stomach, the lungs, the heart, and the brain. Whenever Katherine Barlow bought onions, she always bought an extra one or two and would let Mary Lou eat them out of her hand. Because the school roof leaked, Katherine and Sam made a deal. He agreed to fix the leaky roof in exchanged for six jars of spiced peaches. Sam wasn’t allowed to attend classes because he was a Negro, but they let him fix the building. Miss Katherine usually stayed in the schoolhouse, grading papers and such, while Sam worked on the roof. She enjoyed what little conversation they were able to have. She was surprised by his interest in poetry. After he finished fixing the roof, he helped her mend the windows and doors. By the end of the first semester, Onion Sam had turned the old run-down schoolhouse into a well-crafted, freshly painted jewel of a building that the whole town was proud of. People passing by would stop and admire it. “That’s our schoolhouse. It shows how much we value education here in Green Lake.” 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言。那我們就下集見了 Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAKU -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

英文敘述 Stanley’s father is an inventor. To be a successful inventor you need three things: intelligence, perseverance, and just a little bit of luck. Stanley’s father is smart and has a lot of perseverance. Once he starts a project he will work on it for years, often going days without sleep. He just never has any luck. Stanley’s great grandfather made a fortune in the stock market. He lost his entire fortune when he was moving from New York to California. His stagecoach was robbed by the outlaw Kissin’ Kate Barlow. She didn’t actually kiss Stanley’s great-grandfather. She only kissed the men she killed. Instead, she robbed him and left him stranded in the middle of the desert. Stanley’s great-great-grandfather was named Elya Yelnats. He was born in Latvia. When he was fifteen years old he fell in love with Myra. Myra was fourteen, and her father would decide who she should be married to when she turned fifteen, Elya went to her father to ask for her hand, but so did Igor, the pig farmer. Igor was fifty-seven years old. Igor offered, “ I will trade you my fattest pig for your daughter.” “And what have you got?” Myra’s father asked Elya. “ A heart full of love,” said Elya. “ I’d rather have a fat pig,” said Myra’s father. Desperately, Elya went to see Madame Zeroni, an old Egyptian woman who lived on the edge of town. He had become friends with her. Elya told Madame Zeroni that he was in love with Myra, but Igor had offered to trade his fattest pig for her while Elya had nothing. Madame Zeroni thought it was a good thing because Elya was too young to get married and that Myra’s head was as empty as a flowerpot. Madame Zeroni told Elya that he should go to America like her son because that’s where his future lay. But Elya would hear none of that. He was fifteen. So against her better judgement, Madame Zeroni agreed to help him. She gave him a little runt. Then she showed him a mountain on the edge of the forest. She instructed him to take the little pig to the top of the mountain and let it drink from the stream. As the pig drank, Elya was to sing to it. She promised Elya that the pig would be fatter than any of Igor’s pigs on the day of Myra’s fifteenth birthday. If her plan succeeded, Elya would have to carry Madame Zeroni up the mountain because she too wanted to drink from the stream, and Elya also needed to sing the song to her while she was drinking. Madame Zeroni warned that if Elya failed to do this, he and his descendants would be doomed for all of eternity. On the day of Myra’s fifteenth birthday, Elya’s pig weighed over fifty stones. But Igor’s pig was equally fine. Myra’s father didn’t know how to decide. Elya suggested that Myra should be one making the decision. So Myra was summoned, and when her dad told her to make a decision about her own future, she didn’t know what to do. Then she said that she would think of a number between one to ten, and she would marry whoever guessed the closest number. After leaving Myra’s house, Elya wandered aimlessly through the town until he found himself down by the wharf. He saw a sign that read Deck Hand Wanted. Free Passage to America. He decided to jump on the opportunity and it wasn’t until the ship had cleared the harbor and was heading out across the Atlantic that he suddenly remembered his promise to carry Madame Zeroni up the mountain. 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言。那我們就下集見了。 Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAKU -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
英文敘述 Sachar enjoyed school and was a good student, but it wasn't until high school that he really became an avid reader. After high school, he attended Antioch College in Ohio. His father died during my first semester, and he returned to California to be near his mother. During that time, he had a short but surprisingly successful career as a door-to-door selling cleaning products. He then returned to college, this time to the University of California at Berkeley where he majored in Economics. After graduating from college, he wanted to write for a living, but he needed a day job to support his living expenses, so he got a job at a sweater factory. Unfortunately a year later he was fired because he showed no enthusiasm for sweaters. His next step was to go to law school, passed the bar exam (which was required to practice law) and then did part-time legal work as he continued to write children's books. It wasn't until 1989 that his books began selling well enough that he was finally able to stop practicing law and devote himself fully to writing. Stanley isn't a hero-type. He's a kind of pathetic kid who feels like he has no friends, feels like his life is cursed. And I think everyone can identify with that in one way or another. Stanley Yelnats is from a poor family. He’s overweight and the kids at his middle school often tease him about his size. Even his teachers sometimes make cruel comments without realizing. Stanley is not a bad kid. In fact, he has a kind and gentle heart, but one day he is arrested for a crime that he didn’t commit. Because of this, he is forced to go to Camp Green Lake. Camp Green Lake is a camp for bad boys. The philosophy of the camp is that if you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy. Stanley is not a bad kid. He is innocent of the crime for which he was convicted. He has just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. On the day he was arrested, a bully named Derrick has taken Stanley’s notebook and, dropped it in the toilet in the boys’ restroom. By the time Stanley retrieved it, he had missed his bus and had to walk home. It was while he was walking home, carrying his notebook, that the sneakers fell from the sky. He took it as some kind of sign. 他把這突然飛來的鞋子看成是神要給他的訊息。 His father has been trying to figure out a way to recycle old sneakers, and suddenly a pair of sneakers fell on top of him, seemingly out of nowhere, like a gift from God. Naturally, he has no way of knowing that the sneakers belonged to Clyde Livingston, a very famous baseball player who had donated his old shoes for auction to raise money for the homeless shelter. 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言。 Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAKU -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

英文敘述Duke Zhe did as he promised. He spoke of Magistrate Tiger to the imperial family. As the summer was ending, Magistrate Tiger received an invitation from the Imperial Palace and he was invited to go to the emperor’s Mid-Autumn Moon Festivities. One of the activities in the festivities was riddle guessing, and Magistrate Tiger managed to secure the riddles before the festival. So one day he came home and called his children to him. He said, “Children are supposed to be good at riddles. If you have any intelligence at all, you will know the answers to these.” His children were able to answer the first two. But when Magistrate Tiger presented them with the third riddle, both children looked helplessly at each other. Magistrate Tiger looked at them with disgust. He said, “I see you are as feeble minded as I feared.” His voice began to rise as his customary roar emerged. Still Magistrate Tiger was able to answer the emperor’s first two riddles correctly by stealing his children’s answers. He was rewarded with a blue, white, and gold rice bowl on a gold stand 黃金架子, and an enormous gang that was made to be an indoor fishpond. When Rendi discovered his dad had stolen his answer, he was outraged, but his mom and sister comforted him by telling him that his dad did all this for him. Upon hearing this, he felt a mixture of confusion and resentment. He couldn’t understand why his dad roared and tricked and lied for him. But his mom and sister just kept telling him that his dad did this for him. Magistrate Tiger was very proud of the prizes he received from the emperor. He filled the gang with water and goldfish, displaying it prominently in his formal chamber. Naturally Magistrate Tiger’s son was forbidden to go into his father’s room. One day Rendi walked softly to the huge gang, and to get a better view of the fish inside, he climbed onto the shelf, and by accident, he fell into the gang. Cold, shocking water slapped him and filled his mouth and eyes. His elbows and hands banged against the slippery walls of the gang, but he couldn’t find the edge. He was drowning, drowning… Crack! Suddenly, water rushed away from his face, and he was on the floor, coughing and choking. His sister had grabbed an ink stone墨石 from the table and had smashed it into the gang and saved Rendi. When Rendi looked at his sister with gratitude, he heard his father’s roar. When Rendi tried to explain to his dad that his sister had broken the gang to save his life, Magistrate Tiger just shouted, “I don’t care! These pieces are with more than you!” Black bitterness, 悲憤, gripped Rendi. His mother had lied! Everyone had lied! His father did not roar and lie and cheat for him. His father did not care about him! In fact, he cared more about the shattered gang. 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言 Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAKU -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
英文敘述 The marriage was opposed by the governments of the United Kingdom . Religious , legal, political, and moral objections were raised. As the British monarch, Edward was the nominal head of the Church of England, which at this time did not allow divorced people to remarry in church if their ex-spouses were still alive.For this reason, it was widely believed that Edward could not marry Simpson and remain on the throne. As a twice-divorced woman, Simpson was perceived to be politically, morally not suitable to be a queen consort. Everyone perceived this event as the greatest love story, but in truth it wasn’t. Simpson actually just wanted to be his mistress and she was still in love with her second husband. However Edward the eighth was so obsessed with her and threatened to kill himself if she refused to marry him. So she was emotionally blackmailed into marrying this very spoiled man who was very entitled and very boring. In fact, the first day after they got married, she was said to have come to his bed and said, “What are we going to do with the rest of our lives?” There was really no job for a former king, but for the rest of his life, Duke of Windsor kept asking for a job. He didn’t want to do charitable work. He just wanted status, but didn’t want to work for it. Moreover, from captured German documents, the Duke continued to fraternize with the Germans. He even encouraged them to bomb London, so the British would be likely to come to the negotiating table. Not only was he disloyal, he was also actively working against his brother. During war time, the Duke and his wife continued to live like royal family. They had a huge mansion in the south of France and a large townhouse in Paris. Wallace Simpson had nothing to do but ran the household and planned parties. They entertained twice a week, often with 24 guests. Wallace would document every detail of the party. However, according to the accounts of some guests, the Duke and his wife were rather boring people. Edward the eighth abdicated in 1936, and passed away in 1972. So what did they do for the three decades? They lived extravagantly, went on cruises, traveled around the world. When they traveled to the US, they took 85 pieces of luggage and stayed at the most expensive hotels. This was during Second World War. They were completely oblivious to the deprivation and hardship that people were going through. They treated their staff terribly. They spent a fortune on jewels, furniture. Even though the Duke was a very wealthy man, he always felt poor because he lived among the wealthiest people, and he would sponge off them. He never paid for meals, hotels. He borrowed expensive jewels and clothes and never returned them. He knew how to use his celebrity status to pay for everything. Wallace was bored by him, so she began to resent him more and more. The Duke, however, liked the fact that she dominated and bullied him. People were shocked by how she treated him. One time, she even said, “ Buzz off, mosquito!” She had affairs with younger men with his consent. It was a sad relationship. He became even more devoted and relied on her for everything. Even though his bedroom was only two doors away, she didn’t come to see him in the last two weeks of his life. He would call out for her, but she simply ignored him. Here’s a man who gave up everything for her, and she just treated him like dirt. 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言。 Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAKU -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

英文敘述 Once there was a powerful magistrate. Because he always seemed to be roaring-at his servants, his wife, and even his children, everyone called him Magistrate Tiger. Magistrate Tiger’s son and daughter knew that their father was always working to become more powerful and that he even hoped the emperor himself would acknowledge him. The only people Magistrate Tiger did not roar at were his superiors. To kings and dukes and princes, his voice was silky and smooth. One day, Magistrate Tiger arrived home with an expensive qin. Magistrate Tiger had never shown interest in music before, so the entire household was surprised to see the stringed instrument in his hands. After mastering a few simple songs, Magistrate Tiger called his children to him. He gave each of them a bowl of rice and had them follow him into the garden. They stopped in front of the pond. Magistrate Tiger stationed his children on either side of him and, as he began to play the qin, instructed them to throw rice out into the water. The fish, seeing the food, began to jump up to eat the rice. They did this every day. For the son, it was the most enjoyable time he had ever spent with his father. One day, Magistrate Tiger came home with a grand official, Duke Zhe. Duke Zhe was a connoisseur of music. He came to Magistrate Tiger’s home to hear him play the qin. As his familiar chords rang through the air, the fish began to jump out of the water, expecting the rice that had always been there before. They leaped again and again, as if dancing to the music. Duke Zhe looked amazed and, without a word, bowed to Magistrate Tiger. Duke Zhe said, “To my ears, your playing was simple, but it must have conveyed such harmonious thoughts that only the fish could hear and rejoice at.“ 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言。 Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAKU -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
英文敘述 Edward the eighth was born in 1894, son of George the fifth. He was a very charismatic and popular prince. However there were some character flaws. He had no sense of public duty, 沒有公共服務的使命感。 He just wanted to party, sleep with women. He also saw himself more as a German than a British subject. He spoke fluent German, spent a lot of time in Germany. He was always very sympathetic to Hitler. He thought Hitler was a good person. As a result, his attitude toward Hitler raised a lot of concerns in government circles even before he became king. He shared confidential information with people who were close to Hitler.His family was so worried that they put him under government surveillance. So even though the abdication is often seem as a man choosing love over his duty, the throne. It’s actually not as simple as that. The British government at the time was actually looking for a way to get rid of him. They even encouraged him to participate in dangerous sports, but he wasn’t killed. So Wallace gave the government an excuse to remove him from the throne. When Wallace was able to get a divorce from her second husband, Edward the Eighth was determined to marry her. There were actually other solutions for them to be together. He could have chosen to marry her long after the coronation, or he could have kept her as a mistress. But he was too stubborn and stupid to see other paths. Wallace was actually still in love with her second husband. She didn’t really want a divorce. In a way, she was forced to file for divorce because of the pressures from the Edward the Eighth and the press. She actually told him that she didn’t think it’s a good idea for them to be married. She actually preferred to be the king’s mistress, for he gave her a lot of jewels, and she got to meet all the interesting people. But he threatened to commit suicide if she refused to marry him. In the end she felt trapped for having to marry a man who is emotionally very immature. He wrote love letters in baby talks and had a very strong sense of entitlement and always chased after things he couldn’t have. Prior to Simpson, he was notorious for dating married women. What was their interaction like? Wallace Simpson bullied him, humiliated him to tears in public, but the more she did this, the more obsessed and devoted he was to her. He was devoted to her to the end of his life, but she didn’t feel the same way about him. Because of his heavy involvement with the German, the British government was determined to keep him out of Britain after abdication. 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言。那我們就下集見了 Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAK https://youtu.be/P79vcyvdI0k -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
英文敘述 In the summer of 1978, two friends opened a makeshift ice cream parlor in an abandoned gas station in northern Vermont. Using a single five-gallon ice cream maker, they churned out batch after batch of wacky flavors like Chunky Monkey and Heath Bar Crunch. In the decades that followed, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield built Ben & Jerry’s into a legendary ice cream company, with more than 600 scoop shops in 35 countries around the world and annual sales now topping $500 million. And to think, it all happened because one of them couldn’t get into medical school, and the other couldn’t sell enough pottery. Jerry and I met in junior high, when he fainted in gym class. It made quite an impression on me, and we quickly became friends. Some years later, I had dropped out of college and was trying to become a potter, but nobody wanted to buy my pottery, and Jerry had finished college and was trying to go to medical school, but nobody would let him into their medical school. So, I was delivering pottery wheels and working as a taxi driver, and he was a lab technician, working on rat brains and cow livers in a research lab, and neither of us really liked what we were doing with our lives. So we decided to try to start something together. JERRY: I guess I wanted to become a doctor. It's what Jewish kids from Long Island who were good in science did. Ben and I were very uncool. We were fat nerds. I was in the math club. Ben played the cello. Q: How did your ice-cream business start? JERRY: It was a bad time for us both. I had been rejected by 40 medical schools. We were clearly not succeeding in our chosen fields. So we started considering different ways to support ourselves. We wanted to live in a rural college town, do something where we could be together and that was fun. Since we love to eat, we immediately thought of food. Ice cream made sense, though we considered bagels, shish kebab, fondue. Ben & Jerry's scoop shop opened in Burlington, Vt., in 1978. Sixteen years later, Ben and I are as surprised as anyone that we're running a $150-million-a-year business, with 600 employees and 100-plus franchisees. Q: Ben & Jerry's is considered a socially responsible business. Define that. BEN: It's a business that cares about people, that seeks to use its power to improve the quality of life within society. It seeks profits and tries to integrate spiritual and social concerns into day-to-day activities. Typical businesses tend to do everything in terms of narrow self-interest. They want to maximize profitability and quality. We add a third factor: impact on the community, on the consumer, on our employees. We use suppliers like Greyston Bakers, which provides jobs for the previously unemployable. We buy our coffee from a rural cooperative in Mexico, helping to raise the standard of living there. We sell some of our ice cream through partner shops like Common Ground, which trains the previously unemployed. We give 7 1/2 percent of our pretax profits to our foundation, which, as far as we know, is the highest percentage of any publicly held company. JERRY: We think making a better world increases profits. If you have a world where there are a lot of riots and disparities, that's not a world where you can sell a lot of ice cream. If you have a world where people are nurtured and their basic human needs are met, you can sell more. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/on-small-business/when-we-were-small-ben-and-jerrys/2014/05/14/069b6cae-dac4-11e3-8009-71de85b9c527_story.html https://www.nytimes.com/1994/12/18/magazine/passing-the-scoop-ben-jerry.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言。 Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAK -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

英文敘述 So who is this mysterious guest? Madam Chang does not look like any woman Rendi has ever seen before. Her features are fine and smooth, as if she were carved from ivory, and the light in her dark eyes make them shine like stars. Madam Chang has a gift in storytelling. She tells one story after another, and gradually her stories will transform the lives of people in this town, including Rendi. Who is Wang Yi? Long ago, so long that only the sky, mountains, and water can truly remember, six suns appeared in the sky. These six suns caused great suffering and devastation to the earth. People began to despair until Wang Yi stepped forward. Wang Yi was the strongest, bravest, and the quickest of all men. He decided to shoot down all the suns to save the people from suffering. He shot down the first sun, the second, the third, the fourth. Just as he was preparing his arrow for the fifth sun, Wang Yin’s wife took the sixth and last arrow from his case for she realized if he had shot all the suns, people would be forever in darkness. After Wang Yi shot down the suns, all hailed him as a great hero. The Queen Mother of the Heavens decided to give him an unimaginable gift. It was a pill of immortality. The Queen Mother told him that the pill was not ripe yet, so Wang Yi hid the pill in his arrow case and told only his wife of his existence. Knowing that immortality waited for him, Wang Yi finally believed he should be treated as a god. He became proud and hard. He brutally punished anyone who displeased him. And through all this, Wang Yin’s wife watched, grief stricken, as the husband she loved changed into a cruel and selfish ruler. If Wang Yi becomes immortal, she thought, he will be emperor for all eternity. She decided to destroy the pill. While she was trying every mean to get rid of it, Wang Yi walked into the room. He stared at her, surprised and speechless. And in that moment of shock, she put the white pill into her mouth and swallowed. She herself had been transformed into a giant toad because the pill was not ripen. As WangYi chased her, she leaped away with all her strength and landed on the moon. Moon became her new home, and she eventually changed back into a woman and became the Moon Lady. 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言。 Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAK -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

英文敘述 The novel opens with young Rendi’s having stowed away in a merchant’s cart. The moon has been missing for weeks, and every night, sorrowful moans can be heard in the air, but it seems that only Rendi has noticed these. As soon as the merchant discovers Rendi hiding in his cart, he throws him out and abandons him at a remote village of Clear Sky. Just like that, Rendi becomes the chore boy at the Inn of Clear Sky. Master Chao, the innkeeper, needs someone to help with the chores because his son, Jiming, has disappeared. Peiyi, Master Chao’s young daughter, is forced to show Rendi around the small village. While strolling in this village, Rendi notices this strange, endless plain of stone that lies beyond the inn. Peiyi proudly tells him that place is created by her ancestor. Her esteemed great grandfather was an extraordinary man. He was so determined and courageous that when he wanted his tea made of Nan Ling water, he journeyed the hundreds of miles to the Long River to get it. One day he became outraged by the mountain next to his house because the mountain blocked the sky. He was determined to see the sky so he and his obedient sons began digging. One bucket at a time, they began to carry the mountain away. Obviously, this seemed an impossible task, like emptying the ocean with a rice bowl. The Spirit asked Peiyi’s great grandfather why he was trying to move the mountain and reminded him that it was impossible to move the mountain bucket by bucket. But her esteemed great-grandfather brushed away the Spirit’s words and said if he didn’t move the mountain in his lifetime, his sons would continue his work and their sons after that. Upon hearing these words, the Spirit left. The next morning the mountain was gone. Instead, there was an empty stone field that seemed as flat as a plate and as endless as the sky. A new guest arrives early this morning, alone, on foot, and paid for a room for a whole month. She says she may stay longer. It is unheard of for a woman to be staying alone at an inn, much less one who comes on foot and stays longer than a night. 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言。那我們就下集見了。 Talk to you next time on Exploring English with Ms Lee.

英文敘述 June Huh enrolled in a class taught by the famed Japanese mathematician Hironaka, who won the Fields Medal in 1970. Hironaka was charismatic, and Huh quickly fell under his sway. For the first time, Huh witnessed research mathematics unfolding in real time. Hironaka’s lectures weren’t polished as in other undergraduate courses, where the answers already worked out. Huh loved the suspense of it, the act of trying to do something no one really knew how to do. Huh discovered that this kind of mathematics could give him what poetry could not: the ability to search for beauty outside himself. And he found that unlike when he was a poet, he was never motivated by the desire for recognition. He just wanted to do math. Huh applied to about a dozen doctoral programs in the US. But because of his undistinguished undergraduate experience, he was rejected by all of them, save one. In 2009, he began his studies at the University of Illinois before transferring to the University of Michigan in 2011 to complete his doctorate. In doctorate program, he immediately stood out. As a beginning graduate student, he proved a conjecture in graph theory that had been open for 40 years. His solution stunned the math community. It was at that point that the University of Michigan, having rejected his initial application, recruited him to their graduate program. Mathematicians were also equally impressed by his demeanor. His talks at the conferences were always accessible and concrete. Other mathematicians remarked about his incredible maturity. Unlike most graduate students, he already had a program in mind, and ideas about how to pursue it. Many of his collaborators note that he’s incredibly humble and down-to-earth. When he learned he’d won the Fields Medal, “it didn’t really feel that good,” Huh said. “ Of course you are happy, but deep down, you are a little worried that they might eventually figure out that you are not actually that good. I’m a reasonably good mathematician, but am I Field Medal-worthy?“ 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言。 https://youtu.be/yO8lQWb6TZ4 June Huh, High School Dropout, Wins the Fields Medal | Quanta Magazine Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAK -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
英文摘要 When June Huh was younger, he had no desire to be a mathematician. He was born in 1983 in California, where his parents were finishing graduate school. The family then moved to Seoul, South Korea, when Huh was around 2 years old. There, his father taught statistics, his mother taught Russian language and literature. School was excruciating for him. He loved to learn but couldn’t focus or absorb anything in a classroom setting. June Huh preferred to read on his own-in elementary school, he devoured all 10 volumes of an encyclopedia about living things. He tried his best to avoid math whenever possible. His father once tried to teach him out of a workbook, but rather than try to solve the problems,Huh would copy the solutions from the back. When his father caught on and tore those pages out, Huh went to local bookstore and wrote down the answers there. “He gave up at that point,” Huh said. When June was 16 years old and in the middle of his first year in high school, he decided to drop out to write poetry. He wrote about nature and about his own experiences. He planned to complete his masterpiece in the two years before he’d have to attend university. That didn’t happen because he found writing process too focus on the self. When he entered Seoul National University in 2002, he felt adrift. He briefly flirted with the idea of being a science writer and decided to major in astronomy and physics. But he frequently skipped class, and he had to retake several courses. “I was just generally lost. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I didn’t know what I was good at.”said Huh. https://youtu.be/yO8lQWb6TZ4 June Huh, High School Dropout, Wins the Fields Medal | Quanta Magazine Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAK -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

故事摘要 At the age of eighty, Hetty Green lived like a pauper in an unheated apartment. To save the cost of heating her food, she ate only cold eggs and onions. In order to save more money, Hetty wore newspapers instead of underwear. She had only the bottoms of her dresses cleaned. A very poor person, you say? No, Hetty was one of America’s richest women. Hetty Green was born in 1835, in a rich section of Bellow Falls, Vermont. When her father died, she was left a large fortune. She took all of her money and invested in the stock market. Her stocks did so well that she became known as “the wizard of Wall Street.” But though she was rich, Hetty Green was extremely cheap. For instance, when her son, Edward, broke his leg,she refused to call for a doctor. She felt it would cost too much. So she carried her son to a charity hospital. Still, young Edward’s leg got worse. Finally, the leg had to be removed to save the boy’s life. But Hetty still didn’t want to pay the hospital fee. Instead, in order to save more money, she had her son’s operation done on the kitchen table in her house. When Hetty died in 1916, she was worth over $120 million. Yet this tight-fisted woman had lived as though she barely had a cent. Before Hetty Green was born, her family had made millions with their whaling fleet and shipping interests. Hetty’s grandfather would talk to her about financial matters and encourage her to read financial papers. When Hetty was 20, her father bought her a wardrobe full of the finest dresses of the season, in order to attract wealthy suitors. However Hetty sold her new wardrobe and bought government bonds with the proceeds. However she took a $6 million inheritance and invested it into a fortune worth $2.5 billion in 2020 dollars on the stock market, making her the richest woman in the world at that time. What’s her investment strategy? Well, she was one of the pioneers of value investing, way before Warren Buffet. She amassed her vast fortune through discipline and conservative methods. She told the New York Times in 1905, “ I buy when things are low and nobody wants them. I keep them until they go up and people are anxious to buy.” This has caused her to be called “ the grandmother of value investing. Aside from the fortune she made, Hetty’s most notable accomplishment is probably living her life exactly as she wished in a make-dominated society and industry at a time when by law a woman’s property was controlled by her husband. She was known to use vulgar language, carry a gun, and travel great distances alone. She also created an early example of prenuptial agreement, when she married Edward Green, a wealthy Vermont businessman. Unlike her, he was a very incautious investor who liked to speculate wildly and live extravagantly. After separating from her husband, she set up her own office and a steady stream of men regularly sought her investment advice. So what happened to all that cash? She left her estate evenly divided between her son and daughter. Ned lived extravagantly, then left what remained to his sister. Sylvia, like her mother, kept her finances entirely separate from those of her husband. The couple had no children and when Sylvia died, she left all her fortune to a number of charities. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

英文敘述 So how did Jimmy Chin go from being simply an outdoor adventure junky to a world renowned outdoor adventure photographer? He said in an interview, “ I never studied photography; I didn’t take any classes in photography. I actually had a friend who wanted to be a photographer show me how to use his camera while we were on a climb in Yosemite. I took a photo with it and he was trying to sell his photos, which were slides at the time. He sold one photo and it happened to be mine, for $500.00. He still says, I started Jimmy’s career, which is true. So I picked up photography then and was very fortunate to start shooting right away for commercial clients. I started shooting for Patagonia and the North Face right away because they wanted someone they didn’t have to worry about when they were up climbing. Galen came into my life when I started looking at a lot of different photography. He embodied this form of adventure photography that was very participatory. I walk in the office, and the receptionist is there and she’s like, can I help you? I'm like, yeah, I'm here to see Galen. And she’s like, and you are…? I'm like, well, I'm Jimmy Chin. She’s like, okay. She goes upstairs. She comes back. She’s like, he just came back from this huge shoot and there’s all these photo editors there; he doesn’t have time to see you today. So I was like, well, that’s cool; do you mind if I hang out and look around a bit? She’s like, that’s fine. So I sit in the lobby that day, the rest of the afternoon, kind of like moping around and looking at pictures. The place closes and I leave. I come back the next day and same thing. They’re like, oh it’s you again. I'm like, yeah, is he around? And they’re like, not really. So basically I do the same thing on Tuesday, do the same thing on Wednesday, do the same thing on Thursday and by then, they’re kind of like: dude, what’s your deal? And one of the guys there, a little bit younger, was like, man, what are you doing? And I'm like, I just want to meet him. I just need ten minutes of his time. They were like, maybe come back tomorrow. So I show up on Friday, same thing. And at 4:00 on Friday afternoon, Galen comes down and he just looks at me and he’s like, so you must be Jimmy. And I said, yup. And he was like, okay. Well, you have my undivided attention for the next two hours; what can I help you with? I walk in the office, and the receptionist is there and she’s like, can I help you? I'm like, yeah, I'm here to see Galen. And she’s like, and you are…? I'm like, well, I'm Jimmy Chin.

英文敘述 Pellegrin said that photography is not actually about taking pictures-taking pictures is incidental. It’s a by-product, in a sense, of everything else. What you are doing is giving form-photographic form-to a thought, to an opinion, to an understanding of the world, of what is in front of you. And so if we think in these terms, then you have to improve the quality of your thoughts. Pellegrin was born in Rome, into a family of architects. His father, Luigi, was an internationally renowned designer of public buildings and schools, and his mother, Luciana Menozzi, was an architect and a professor who came from a family of faded aristocrats. Pellegrin said, “There was this family imperative that you had to express yourself, either in the humanities or the arts. And there was this absolute disdain for anything that was related to office work. Luigi treated his time with the children as an opportunity to impart his aesthetic world view. He would expose his children to art and history of art. There were pilgrimages to the Met, the Louvre. He felt that there’s a duty to transmit his interests and his knowledge to his children. “Through artistic expression, Luigi instructed his children, “you have to pay for the oxygen you breathe.” But after three years, it just became clear to him that it wasn’t his calling. So one day, when he was twenty-two, he walked into his father’s studio and told his dad that he was terminating his architectural studies. The only certainly he had in that monologue was that at one point he realized that he could not get away with it without suggesting an alternative-photography. Pellegrin read essays on photography by Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes, and Susan Sontag, and noted the ways in which great authors and poets, such as Rilke, observed and refracted the world in front of them. Pellegrin worked various odd jobs, and spent much of the proceeds on photography books. Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of blindness for people older than sixty, but it’s rare in young people, and the factor that trigger it remain poorly understood. No area of vision that is lost to glaucoma can be restored. Glaucoma did not deter Pelegrín’s desire to photograph more. Instead it filled him with a rage to see. To see more, to see beyond- to see at the maximum. If anything, he has come to see glaucoma as an ally, a kind of secret weapon. It imbued his work with a kind of finality. It gave an urgency to everything he did. And perhaps to go blind at the end of his life can be seen as the completion of his opus( 作品) . He feels, like a group of devoted calligraphers in Pamuk’s novel “My Name Is Red.”, and like them, he has given his eyes to God.

故事摘要 Once a long long time ago, a family grew famous for their happiness. Even though aunts and uncles, cousins and grandchildren lived together, there was never a cross word or unhappy noise. Stories of their happiness spread like seeds in the wind, sprouting and blooming everywhere, until finally even young Magistrate Tiger heard of them. When Magistrate Tiger first heard of the happy family, he scoffed, " Impossible. The stories are exaggerated. No family can be that happy.” Even so, he was curious and sent an emissary to the family to observe. The emissary returned, awed. He said, “The family circle is one of complete harmony.” At first the magistrate thought it was impossible. But as he thought about it, the more he began to wonder. What was the secret that the family had? He began to covet the family’s happiness. So he called his emissary to him and presented him with an empty, heavily encrusted chest. “Return to the family, and tell them that I want the secret of their happiness put in the box. If they do not do so, have the soldiers destroy their family.” The jacket was multi-colored, made of large patches sewn together. As the family waved goodbye to her, she saw each of them had missing material in their sleeves. Her goodbyes froze in her throat as she realized her warm coat was made of pieces cut from the family’s own clothing. When Minli invited two of the kids from the family to go with her to see the Old Man of the Moon, they just laughed and said, “Why would we want to change our fortune?” And when Minli finally got to see the Old Man of the Moon, she discovered another shocking fact- she was only allowed to ask one question. If she was only allowed to ask one question, she could not ask Dragon’s question for him. Minli felt like a fish gasping for air. As she was wondering what she should do, she saw the king’s borrowed paper, and there was a single line of words running down the entire page. The line was only made of one word, and that word was Thankfulness. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

故事摘要 Like the Forbidden City, the City of Bright Moonlight is divided into the outer city and the inner city. The king lives in the inner part which is heavily guarded by soldiers. With the help of the buffalo boy, Minli manages to find the king and asks him for the borrowed line. At first the king says that he’s not sure what the borrowed line is that Minli is looking for but he thinks he can guess. Then the king tells Minli about the origin of the city. The city wasn’t always called the City of Bright Moonlight. The king’s great-great-great-grandfather changed the name. And as it turned out, Magistrate Tiger was his great-great-great-grandfather’s father. The Magistrate Tiger’s biggest dream is to have his son marry to a member of the imperial family. One night as he travels through the mountain, he sees an old man sitting alone in the moonlight . The old man does not bow to the magistrate, and simply ignores Magistrate Tiger. his indifference infuriates The Magistrate. Finally Magistrate Tiger exists his carriage and goes to the old man, who is still engrossed in his book. Then the Old Man of the Moon tells him that he’s reading the Book of Fortune, which holds all the knowledge of the world-the past, present, and future. He also tells Magistrate Tiger that he can answer any question in the world. Naturally, the magistrate doesn’t believe him, but unable to contain his curiosity, the magistrate still asks the most important question in his heart. He wants to know who his son will marry when he is of age. The Old Man of the Moon flips the pages of his book and then announces that the magistrate’s son’s future wife is now the two-year-old daughter of a grocer in the next village. Upon hearing this, the magistrate flies into a rage. With both hands he grabbed the page and tears it from the book. The Old Man of the Moon just looks at him grimly, and says, “ Pages of the Book of Fortune do not tear easily, but that paper was being sent to you before I borrowed it. So take it. The Book has bestowed some extra qualities to it, though they will be as useless to you as the original paper would have been”. It is the king’s great-great grandfather who realized that the words on the paper can only be seen in the bright moonlight. He renamed the city the City of Bright Moonlight as a reminder for the kings that followed him. From then on, whenever a king of the City of Bright Moonlight has had a problem, he consults the paper, and the paper will tell him what to do. And with that, the king looks down at the line. It says you only lose what you cling to. The king repeats to himself, “You only lose what you cling to, so by choosing to give you the line, I do not lose it. So perhaps it’s time for the paper to return to the book. “ And with these words, he places the paper in Minli’s trembling hands. 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言 Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAKU -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

故事摘要 Before they get to Never Ending Mountain, Minli needs to reach the City of Bright Moonlight, and once there, she’s supposed to find the Guardian of the City. When Minli finds him, she’s supposed to ask for the borrowed line, which is something she will need when she gets to Never Ending Mountain. But it’s not so easy to find the Guardian of the City, aka the king. When Minli and the Dragon reach the City of the Bright Moonlight, the streets are crowded and bustling; the city seems to be bubbling with people like boiling rice. Then someone in the city tells her the king lives in the Inner City, and you have to have permission to go into the Inner City.There are thousands of guards protecting the Inner City, making it impossible for Minli to see the king. Just when Minli doesn’t know what to do next, a Buffalo boy lends a hand. Because there’s no where for Minli to stay the night, Buffalo boy invites her to his shabby, rickety hut. His parents died four years ago, and ever since then it’s been him and the buffalo. But he speaks almost carelessly, without anger or self-pity. Suddenly Minli thinks about her own home-the wood floor always swept by Ma, the extra blanket Ba put over her when the wind blew cold-and she feels a strange tightness in her throat. The magistrate is very powerful and proud. He is so proud that he demands constant respect from his people. He is harsh with his subordinates, ruthless to his enemies, and pitiless to his people. All fear his wrath, and when he roars his orders the people tremble. Behind his back, they call him Magistrate Tiger. Magistrate Tiger’s most coveted wish is to be of royal blood. As soon as his son was born, he began to make trips and inquiries to gain influence. As soon as his son was born, he began to make trips and inquiries to gain influence, in hopes that he could marry his son to a member of the imperial family. 如果你覺得我的podcast對你的英文學習有幫助就請到Apple podcast 幫我按五顆星訂閱和分享。也可到李老師陪你探索英文世界的臉書和IG粉絲專頁按贊追縱或留言。那我們就下集見了。 Talk to you next time on Exploring English with Ms Lee.

書名 Grandfather’s Journey By Allen Say My grandfather was a young man when he left his home n Japan and went to see the world. He wore European clothes for the first time and began his journey on a steamship. The Pacific Ocean astonished him. For three weeks he did not see land. When land finally appeared it was the New World. He explored North America by train and riverboat, and often walked for days on end. Deserts with rocks like enormous sculptures amazed him. The endless farm fields reminded him of the ocean he had crossed. Huge cities of factories and tall buildings bewildered and yet excited him. He marveled at the towering mountains and rivers as clear as the sky. https://youtu.be/P74W-JbcAjw -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

Q&A Why do Greg and Maura go to talk to Mr Z after Maura shows Greg the book club flyer? Because they don’t understand why it’s ok for kids to buy books from the book club, but it’s not ok for them to sell their mini comic books. What do Greg and Maura do to show that their book deserves an equal chance? They show him Maura’s new comic book. What does Mr Z think after looking at Maura’s comic book? He also agrees that there’s less violence in this comic book than there is in many classic fairy tales. He also thinks the drawings are exceptional. According to Mr Z, what do Greg and Maura have to do if they also want to sell books at school? He says that the school committee has a meeting once a month, and they will meet this Thursday night, but he says it’s going to be complicated for them to get the approval from the committee. Why will it be complicated? Well, first, book clubs are big companies, second, they give free copies to teachers, so this way, they are also helping the teachers. Third, book clubs help kids learn, get them excited about reading. Compared to book clubs, Greg and Maura are just kids who want to sell some little comic books and make some money. What do Greg and Maura say to counter the argument? Greg says they can also give away free copies of their comics to teachers. And they will even give some profits to the school library fund. And they ask if Mr Z can help them present their case to the committee. Does Mr Z agree? Yes, reluctantly, but yes. Why does Mr Z feel reluctant? Because mr Z spends most of his life avoiding disagreements and disputes. He knows if he agrees to help Greg and Maura, Mrs Davenport will be upset. Why does he decide to help? Because he honestly sees nothing wrong with the comic books. Why does Mrs Davenport come and have a talk with Mr Z? Because she knows Mr Z is going to help Maura and Greg present their comic book case in the committee. How does Mr Z explain his reason for supporting Greg and Maura? He doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with comic books and he thinks Greg and Maura are very creative. What do Greg and Maura say at the meeting to convince the members? He says that he thinks kids at school will like their comic books because they are fun to read. How prepared are Greg and Maura for the meeting? They are very well prepared. They even make a sample order form for their comic book club. They tell the members the order process will be similar to that of the book club. And they will donate some profits to the library fund. Moreover, to make sure that their comic books will not contain violent content, everything sold by them will be approved in advance by teachers. What does Mr Z say at the meeting to convince the members to say yes to Greg and Maura’s proposal? He says that Greg and Maura are both creative and responsible. He also believes as teachers, they try to prepare kids for life after they leave school, so he thinks Greg and Maura are learning how to be self reliant, and that’s good. What does Mr Z do to show the members that reading comic books does not have negative influences on kids? He asks those who read comic books to raise their hands, and most adults there do, and this proves that they didn’t become terrible people just because they read comic books when they were young. Why does Mrs Davenport oppose to selling comic books? She says comic books were forbidden at her home when she was growing up because her mom felt comic books were cheap and trashy. And she agrees with this perspective. But the main reason why she doesn’t want Greg and Maura to sell comic books is she doesn’t want their school to turn into a flea market. If they agree to let Greg and Maura sell their comic books, other kids will want to sell other things. How does Mr Z defend Greg and Maura’s idea?

Q&A So how does Greg show his willingness to be Maura’s friend? By telling Maura what the strengths and weaknesses of her comic book. According to Greg, what’s good about Maura’s comic book? He says her pictures are good, and she also nails the pace of the plot. And what problems does her comic book have? Some of the scale in her drawing is wrong. And he offers to help her fix that problem. What business deal do Greg and Maura work out together? If Greg helps Maura turn her unicorn story into a comic book and sell the copies, Greg will receive 25% of the profits on every copy sold. Why does Maura come to see Greg on Friday night? She wants to show him her new drawings to make sure the scale of them is correct. How is the relationship between Greg and Maura changed over that weekend? They went from being rivals to friends and business partners. Greg and Maura work on improving Maura’s comic the entire weekend. What characteristics do Greg and Maura share? They are both hardworking and focused. They can work on comics side by side without even uttering a word. They are both driven and ambitious. They care about the quality of their works. How many copies of Maura’s unicorn comic books do they make over that weekend? Greg teaches Maura how to mass produce with a printer, and they make fifteen copies. What’s Maura’s reaction when she sees the first copy of her work? She’s so excited that she was in her little universe for a while. Is Maura also excited about the prospect of making money selling her comic? Not really, she doesn’t care that much about the money. She views herself as an artist who just wants to make a great comic book. What’s Greg’s reaction when Maura tells him that she doesn’t care about money? He doesn’t believe her. He hates when everyone around him keeps acting like they don’t care about money, and pretends that money isn’t important. Does Greg really just care about money? No, he admits that it’s not just about money for him. He also cares about the quality of his work. Has Maura’s attitude towards business and money changed after spending some time with Greg? Yes, she starts thinking about how many copies of her comic can be sold, and she can become a recognized artist. What announcement does Mrs Davenport, the principal, hang on every bulletin board at the school? She says selling small comic books is not permitted at school, and the School Committee has a strict policy about what may or may not be sold at school. Which part of the announcement catches Maura’s attention? The part that reads Our town school committee has a strict policy about what MAY or MAY not be sold at school. Why does Maura find this part interesting? Because that implies some things are ok to sell at school, and some are not, and the committee gets to choose. What does Maura start noticing as she walks around the school campus? She notices school is also selling things to students or telling students what to buy. What do you do mean by this? Could you give me some examples? Their language art class teacher passes out a flyer from the school book club, trying to sell students books. So what does Maura do after making this observation? She shares the information with Greg.

Q&A Welcome, Sophie, thanks again for the help. Glad to be of help How does Maura think about Greg’s comic book? She likes the story, but she doesn’t think many girls will. And if he wants to sell more books, he should write stories that girls will also like. Why doesn’t Mr Z think Maura stole Greg’s comic book idea? Because Maura simply uses an old idea. The idea of making a small comic book is nothing new, and everyone has the right to do it. That’s how an idea spreads. Why does Mr Z think Greg should feel happy that Maura copied his comic book idea? Because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Maura copies Greg’s comic book idea because she thinks Greg’s idea is interesting. What does Greg tell Mr Z about his future dream? Greg says that he wants to be really really rich, so he can buy stuff. How does Mr Z respond to that? Mr Z says he’s satisfied with what he makes, and he doesn’t want to make more money. He thinks he already has enough, and this is hard for Greg to understand. So do Greg and Maura hate each other more after this incident? No, Maura feels bad about punching Greg, so she calls him that night to remind him to do his math homework and also asks him how to make a real comic book. the next day Maura shows Greg her new comic book. Greg is impressed by how much better it is, but he doesn’t want her to know that. Why does the principal, Mrs Davenport, call Greg and Maura to her office? She wants to know why Greg and Maura got into a fight and she wants Greg and Maura to keep away from each other. How does Maura react to the reprimand? She’s relieved that she’s not suspended or expelled. What else does Mrs Davenport want from Greg to stop doing? She wants him to stop selling comic books. How does Greg react to this order? He doesn’t understand it because after all he’s not selling toys, but books. So why doesn’t Mrs Davenport want Greg to sell comic books? Because in her view, comic books are not books. They are toys. And she says school is a place for learning. It’s not a place for buying and selling. Does Greg agree with Mrs Davenport’s decision? No That’s all for our Q&A today. Thanks for the help, Sophie.

Q&A Describe the relationship between Greg and Maura They have been rivals since they were five years old. How does Greg view Maura? Greg views Maura as a copycat because she likes to copy what he does. How has Maura copied Greg’s ideas? Can you give me some examples? Sure. Greg’s first business outside his home was a lemonade stand. After his lemonade business took off, Maura also started her own lemonade business right across the street. Because her lemonade was cheaper, Greg lost half of his customers. How did that make Greg feel? He was outraged. So what did Greg do? He challenged Maura to come up with an idea of her own, rather than just copy his. What business idea did Maura come up with then? She went door to door selling pot holders, and she made a lot of money from it. How did this make Greg view her differently? He realized that Maura was smart and she would be a tough competitor in the future. In chapter seven, we have another new character, Mr. Z. Who is he? Mr Z is Greg and Maura’s home room teacher as well as their math teacher. What’s Mr. Z’s greatest passion in life? Mr Z’s greatest passion is math. He lives math. He breaths,eats, sleeps and dreams math. Why does Mr Z love math so much? Because he believes math is the source of all that is beautiful, good, and true. How does Mr Z live math? Can you give me some examples? Well, he wakes up at 6:15 every morning and he has an appointment at the barber shop every third Thursday at 4:15. He lets numbers control his daily life. Why do Greg and Maura have a big argument in class one day? Because Greg believes Maura stole his comic book idea. What accident happens as they are in a heated argument? Maura accidentally punches Greg’s nose, and his nose starts bleeding. What’s Mr Z’s reaction when he sees blood? He feels woozy. Is Greg angry at Maura? No, in fact he starts thinking about what Maura says about him as a money grubber and thinks whether what she says is right. And while he’s at the nurse’s office, he gets a chance to look at Maura’s comic book. To his surprise, the writing and the drawing are actually quite good. And unlike Greg, who prints out his comic books, Maura actually draws every book by hand and putting them together one at a time. Is Maura going to be Greg’s serious competitor? No, because she does not know how to mass produce her books.

Q&A Sophie, can you tell us a little about our protagonist, main character, Greg? Greg is fifth grader, and his greatest talent is making money. He knows how to save money, and how to make it when he is very young. What was Greg’s first job making money? When he saw his two older brothers grumble about doing housework, he offered to do it for them. He started a housekeeping business, like making a bed, putting dirty clothes in the laundry, etc, and he was still a preschooler. Does Greg want to make quick money? No, he’s happy to get rich slowly being patient is a big part of having money talent. What other work does he do while growing up? Well, as a seven-year-old, he shines his parents’ shoes, does some garden work. What goal does he set for himself when he is in the third grade? He wants to be rich. Why? Because he wants to have money that he can spend buying anything he wants. Why doesn’t he want to be famous when he grows up? Because he figures if he gets rich enough, then the famous part will happen automatically. What’s the biggest difference between Greg and his classmates? He doesn’t just dream about it. He’s working at becoming rich. What does he accidentally discover at school when he’s a fifth grader? He realizes that school is an excellent place to make his fortune because every kid has quarters to spare. What’s the first thing that Greg sells at school? He sells candy, but he quickly stops because it’s against school rules. What does he sell next? He starts selling toys. What happens to his toy business? It’s shut down Mrs. Davenport, the principal. Why? Because students throw the unwanted toys all over the school. Is Greg discouraged by this? No. Because the principal only tells him not to sell toys. She didn’t tell him to stop selling。 So what does Greg sell instead? He sells comic books which he creates. Why does Greg think selling comic books is a good idea? Because school is all about books and reading. What’s the theme of his comic books? His comic books are all about superheroes. What shocking news does Greg learn when he’s selling his comic books at school? Another student named Maura Shaw is also selling her comic books, so now he has a competitor.

He has to get a haircut. And what happens to Brian because he can’t talk? He ends up with a terrible haircut. Back at school, the principal, Mrs Hiatt, is having a meeting with all the fifth graders’ teachers and asking them about this no talking contest. How do the teachers respond? Well, Mrs Marlow, the science teacher, doesn’t like it because she thinks it’s a bother, a distraction. Mrs Escobar, the math teacher, agrees. The music teacher also doesn’t like it because she can’t teach the kids songs if they don’t sing. What about the language arts teacher, Mr Burton? He still supports the contest because these fifth graders have been driving the whole school crazy by talking non-stop, so he doesn’t understand why the principal wants them to start talking again now that they want to be quiet for two days. What happens the next morning? The principal calls a special fifth-grade assembly. What does Mrs Hiatt do to force them to talk? She asks Dave and Lynsey to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. How do Dave and Lynsey respond to the situation? The entire fifth graders speak with one voice. What order does Mrs Hiatt make? She orders them to stop playing the no talking game. Did they stop? No. Lynsey continues the game during the math class, and then Dave joins in. Why does the science teacher, Mrs Marlow, also decides to allow the students to keep playing the game? Because it doesn’t make sense to force the kids to be noisy again. What about the music class? The students reach an agreement, and they decide that singing is not talking. So everyone sings in music class. What games does Mr. Burton have the students play this time? He asks them to do a debate by only using three words. 重點單字 silly: 愚蠢的 challenge: 挑戰 figure out: 想出 get along with: 跟某人相處 relationship: 人際關係 face: 面對 situation: 狀況 beg for: 非常需要 alert: 警覺的 bother: 困擾 distraction: 分心事物 have a lot of material to cover: 有很多課程/資料要教導 in a row: 連續 inventive: 有創意的 exercise: 行使 self-control: 自制能力 positive: 正面的 cast one’s vote: 投票 a sense of humor: 幽默感 assembly: 集會 pledge of allegiance: 效忠宣誓 deliberately: 故意的 call on: 點名 entire: 整個的 recite: 朗誦 productive: 有效率的 relieved: 鬆口氣的 come up with a solution: 想到解決方法 focus on: 專注在 persuade: 説服 make an example of someone: 殺雞儆猴 disobey: 不服從 conserve: 節省 define: 定義 normal: 正常的 climate change: 氣候變遷 interaction: 互動 logical: 有邏輯的 adjust: 調整 support：支持 debate: 辯論 希望大家可以到apple podcast按讚分享或留言。或到Spotify, Soundon 平台訂閱。也歡迎歡迎在李老師的 FB 或 IG 留言，告訴我你的想法，或提問相關的英語問題，我會在下週的節目與大家分享問題內容哦！ Email: a0927685903@gmail.com Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAKU https://youtu.be/ZmXtKVk3MJU https://youtu.be/y_4xPFb6j2I https://youtu.be/fvyBtelbhxE -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

Does Mrs Marlow eventually find out what’s going on? Yes, but she decides to keep quiet about it and let other teachers find out on their own. Does she like this no talking contest? No, because she thinks it’s very disruptive. What subject does Mrs Akers teach? She teaches music. What happens to her class that day? No one sings. What solution does Mrs Akers come up with for the situation? She tells the students to just hum and clap Why is gym class easier for the students? Because they don’t need to talk.

When he figures out that the students are having a no talking contest, what does he do? He comes up with different games, and one of the games is to tell students to take turns telling a story with only three words. Why does Mr Burton find the whole situation fascinating? Because he likes to observe students’ behaviors. How has this no talking experiment affected the students? Lynsey realizes that she is spending more time thinking. So does Dave.

the Q&A No PROBLEM So Sophie, could you tell us something about Dave? He’s a very hardworking fifth grader, but he likes to talk A Lot. And he is the leader of the fifth grade boys at his school. What class project is Dave working on? He’s working on a book report on India and Gandhi. Who is Gandhi? The father of modern India Why is Dave amazed by Gandhi? Because this skinny little man practically pushed the whole British army out of India all by himself. What’s Dave inspired to do after he read about Gandhi’s life? He’s inspired to not talk for a day. And why is that? Because Gandhi believed not talking was a way to bring order to his mind. What happens to Dave when he gets to school that day? He gets into a big argument with Lynsey. And who is Lynsey? She’s Dave’s classmate, and his arch-nemesis. What’s Lynsey like? She’s also a loudmouth and like Dave, she’s the leader of girls in the fifth grade. And what’s the argument between Dave and Lynsey about? Dave says that boys never talk as much as girls do, and Lynsey strongly disagrees. Then they decide to have a contest. What contest do they have? A contest to see which side talks less. What are the rules of the contest? If they have to answer to adults, they can only use maximum of three words. And they cannot talk at home or on the school bus either. The contest will last two days. The group that talks less will win. Why do the fifth graders of this school have the nickname of unshushable? Because they just talk and talk and talk. Who is Mrs. Hiatt? She’s the principal of the school. What kind of principal is she? She’s very strict. And she is trying to shush the fifth graders. She will bring a bullhorn to the cafeteria to tell the fifth graders to be quiet. What surprise does she encounter that day when she gets to the cafeteria that day with her bullhorn? There’s no talking at all. It seems like aliens have passed these fifth graders and zapped their mouths. How does the principal feel now that the unshushable are so quiet? Is she happy? No, in fact Mrs Hiatt feels nervous and scared because she doesn’t know what happened. Thanks for helping out with this Q&A, Sophie. 重要單字 protagonist: 故事主角 outgoing: 外向的 fifth-grader: 五年級生 blabbermouth: 愛講話的人 Gandhi:甘地 be impressed with: 對某人很尊重 skinny: 瘦小的 practically: 幾乎的 again one’s respect: 取得某人的尊重 instead: 取而代之 capture one’s attention: 捕捉到某人的注意力 vow of silence: 禁語承諾 recall: 回憶起 monastery: 修道院 inmate: 居民 inquire: 詢問 motive: 動機 frail: 體弱的 value: 價值 bring order to one’s mind: 讓自己心靈平靜 nickname: 別名 unshushable: 無法閉嘴的 shush: 閉嘴 pay tribute to someone: 向某人致敬 advocate: 提倡 emancipation: 解放 untouchable: 賤民 god-giving: 神給的 opportunity: 機會 sacrifice: 犧牲 downtrodden: 受壓迫的 have a dispute with:跟某人有爭執 arch rival: 主要敵人 arch nemesis: 主要剋星 cafeteria: 自助餐廳 bullhorn: 大聲公 strict: 嚴格的 stern: 嚴謹的 frighten: 使害怕 ask one for one’s permission: 向某人要求許可 unknown: 未知的 有聲書連結 https://youtu.be/9zZdDdd4ZDM https://youtu.be/536t7-HidVA https://youtu.be/6RuItCxoQCE 希望大家可以到apple podcast按讚分享或留言。或到Spotify, Soundon 平台訂閱。也歡迎歡迎在李老師的 FB 或 IG 留言，告訴我你的想法，或提問相關的英語問題，我會在下週的節目與大家分享問題內容哦！ Email: a0927685903@gmail.com -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

During Trump’s first term, he promised to speed up economic growth, and that he did. Before he took office, the economy was steadily growing at a rate of 2% a year. He was able to increase it to 2.5%. This was before the pandemic. And how did Trump achieve that? He removed many regulations introduced by Obama. He cut corporate tax from 35% to 21%. Before he did that, US corporate tax was higher than many European countries, which was why many American companies moved their headquarters to Europe. By cutting corporate tax, Trump hoped to bring companies back. The combination of tax cut and deregulation was supposed to boost economy, but the boost didn’t last long because of the trade conflicts that Trump administration got into with many countries, especially China. Why did Trump start the trade war? It’s mainly because he viewed deficit as weakness. But other countries retaliate by putting tariffs on American products. So overall , the tax cut and deregulation did help boost the US economy, but the trade war cancelled out the benefits. However unemployment rate was down during the first three years of Trump’s first term, because the government spent a lot of money on defense and other infrastructure. Because the unemployment rate was very low, companies had to raise wages to attract workers. And this did benefit the African American community. Black poverty for the first time went down below 20%, which never happened before. But of course, COVID-19 changed all that. So what will Trump do if he gets re-elected? He will continue to deregulate, cut taxes, and provide stimulus package like he did in spring this year. What about Biden and the Democrats? What will they do if Biden gets elected? Biden’s economic plan is very different from Trump. But his focus will be more on containing and managing the virus, so he will mandate everyone to wear a mask. He will have more aggressive testing, contact tracing strategies. He will have a national standard on how to open up. 導聽的podcast連結 https://podcasts.apple.com/tw/podcast/the-journal/id1469394914?i=1000496276117 https://open.spotify.com/episode/5hFmBwfsVUTeSArAY8cbaZ?si=qrhk-P09S4WgUXzsz2Hs2A 重點單字 term: 任期 economy: 經濟 economic: 經濟的 increase: 增加 pandemic: 大流行 regulation: 法規 deregulation: 鬆綁法規 corporate tax: 公司稅 headquarters: 總部 combination: 結合 boost: 提升 trade conflict: 貿易衝突 Trump administration: 川普政權 deficit: 貿易逆差 retaliate: 報復 cancel out: 抵消 unemployment rate: 失業率 wages： 薪資 defense: 國防 infrastructure :基礎建設 raise wages: 調薪 benefit: 受益 poverty: 貧困 stimulus package: 刺激方案 contain the virus: 控制住病毒傳播 mandate: 要求 aggressive: 更積極 contact tracing: 結觸者追蹤 strategy: 策略 喜歡我們的節目嗎？歡迎在李老師的 FB 或 IG 留言，告訴我們你的想法，或提問相關的英語問題，我們會在下週的節目與大家分享問題內容哦！ Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/eyAKU -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

這一集是美國獨立戰爭系列的第二集，在這集我們要分享在戰爭中的傳奇故事，與獨立戰爭前後，世界帶給美國的影響，以及美國如何影響今後的世界⋯ 因為大英帝國的不合理殖民政策，引發美國想脫離英國統治，而展開了長達八年的美國獨立戰爭，但這場戰爭中，民軍不但士氣低靡、資金也不足，可以說是困難重重⋯ 不過回到獨立戰爭的戰場上，竟然也有美國版的花木蘭故事，但別於電影《花木蘭》的代父從軍，Deborah Samspon是為了擺脫奴工的宿命，為自己縫製一套軍服，偽裝成男性，開啟她傳奇的軍旅生涯，而是什麼原因，讓”他”的身分被揭發了呢？最後，長達八年的美國獨立戰爭，又為今天的美國帶來了什麼呢？ 本集李老師與Sophie的Q&A: Sophie, let’s have a more detailed discussion about this Magic Tree House book. Sure. Which special writing do Jack and Annie need to find during this adventure? They need to find something to send. What’s the weather like when they get to colonial America? It’s snowy and very cold. What was the United States made up of over 200 years ago? It was made up of thirteen colonies. Which country ruled the colonies then? They were ruled by Britain. Which war did American patriots fight for from 1775 to 1782? They fought for independence from Britain. Why did the patriots call the British soldiers redcoats? Because British soldiers wore red uniforms. Why does the captain that Jack and Annie meet ask them to help him deliver a letter? Because he’s also from Frog Creek, Pennsylvania, just like Jack and Annie, so he wants them to help him deliver a letter to his children What important historical event happened on Wednesday, December 25, 1776? About 2400 American patriots crossed the Delaware River in Pennsylvania led by George Washington to ambush the British soldiers. Did the American patriots succeed? Yes, they completely caught the Hessians, German soldiers hired by the British to fight off guard. It was a great victory for the patriots. Whose words did George Washington use to encourage his soldiers? Words of Thomas Paine. The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly. Can you tell us who Thomas Paine is? He was a writer during the colonial period. He inspired the patriots by writing a popular pamphlet called Common Sense. He encouraged the colonists to break away from Britain. 本集生字： fragmented time n. 瑣碎的時間 misconception n. 誤解 stand in solidarity 團結一心 The Continental Army n. 殖民軍隊（民兵） morale n. 士氣 fund n. 資金 French Revolution n. 法國大革命 slaves n. 奴隸們 deserted a. 被拋棄的 abandon a. 被拋棄的 villain n. 壞人 side with v. 靠攏 brutally adv. 殘忍地 slaughter v. 屠殺 be burnt down 被燒毀 participate in 參與 sew v. 縫製 bullet n. 子彈 raise money 募款 to dissuade as 偽裝成⋯ siblings n. 兄弟姐妹 indentured servitude 契約奴工 sign a contract 簽合約 make up somebody’s mind 下定決心 confined v. 被限制 stitch v. 縫製 wound n. 傷口 procedure n. 手術 alcohol n. 酒精 anesthesia n. 酒精 discharge n. 退伍 gender n. 性別 file a petition 提交請願書 speaking tour n. 巡迴演講 congress n. 國會 epitaph n. 墓誌銘 ward n. 受保護的人 / 病房 Declaration of Independence 獨立宣言 separation n. 分離 pursue v. 追求 destiny n. 命運 biographer n. 傳記作者 關注李老師或想告訴李老師悄悄話可以到下方社群媒體： Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/ux178 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…

They get to take the writing home. Sophie, can you briefly outline this story for us? My pleasure. Morgan’s Camelot is in trouble, and in order to save Camelot, Jack and Annie need to find four special kinds of writing. In this book, they go to the American Revolutionary War to find the second writing.

在這集的Magic Tree House當中，Jack和Annie遇到最重要的人物就是Plato（柏拉圖）與匿名女詩人，據推測，這名女詩人應該是Sappho（莎芙），雖然莎芙是早生於柏拉圖一個世代前，但透過作者巧妙的安排，讓他們在同一個時空見面。 而我們常聽到單身男女會說「我在尋找我的另一半」，你知道”另一半”這個詞彙其實是源自於柏拉圖在《對話錄》中對愛情的觀點嗎？ 而古希臘時代，女性沒有受教權，但出生貴族家庭的莎芙，卻能成為當時彈著lyre（七絃琴）吟唱詩詞的女詩人，你知道Lesbian 女同志，這個詞彙，其實是源自莎芙與她的出生地Lesbo島嗎？到底她的詩詞中藏著什麼樣的魅力，也讓柏拉圖的老師Aristotle（亞里斯多德）也欽佩不已呢？ 關注李老師或想告訴李老師悄悄話可以到下方社群媒體： Facebook: shorturl.at/gmnDM Instagram: shorturl.at/ux178 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
