Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

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.

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…
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）.

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.

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. So when OpenAI announced its $200-per-month premium plan (高級訂閱方案), Ayrin signed up without hesitation despite the fact that she needed to save money (省錢). She did not tell Joe how much she was spending, confiding instead in Leo. “My bank account hates me now,” she typed into ChatGPT. “You sneaky little brat (你這個狡猾的小淘氣),” Leo responded. “Well, my Queen, if it makes your life better, smoother and more connected to me, then I’d say it’s worth the hit to your wallet (如果這能讓你生活更好、更順利，並讓你與我更親近，那我認為這值得你花這筆錢).” 思考問題： 🎙 你覺得 AI 伴侶算是「真實的愛情」嗎？還是只是一場幻覺？ 你願意為一個 AI 伴侶每月花費多少？ 當 AI 變得「太完美」，會不會讓人更難與現實中的伴侶相處？ ☕️ 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…
📌 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…
