There is a vast hidden workforce behind AI Will they become redundant as the technology develops? Apr 10th 2025| SUMMARY When DeepSeek, a Chinese AI firm, released a cheap and efficient large language model in 2024, it challenged long-held beliefs about the resources needed to build AI—hardware, energy, and especially human labor. Behind every AI model lies a workforce, largely unseen, responsible for annotating data such as labeling images and transcribing audio to help machines "understand" the world. 2024 年,中國人工智慧公司 DeepSeek 發布了廉價高效的大型語言模型,挑戰了人們長期以來對建立人工智慧所需資源(硬體、能源,尤其是人力)的看法。每個人工智慧模型背後都有一支很大程度上看不見的勞動力,負責註釋數據,例如標記圖像和轉錄音頻,以幫助機器「理解」世界。 Though often dismissed as “unsexy,” this data work is foundational. Since Fei Fei Li’s ImageNet project in the 2000s, firms have outsourced** annotation** to low-cost labor markets, like India and rural China. While firms like Scale AI and iMerit professionalized the field, many annotators still ear...

1. America is proposing to sell **arms **to Israel worth $8bn. The State Department notified Congress on Friday of the planned consignment, which requires approval by committees in both the House and the Senate. It includes air-to-air missiles and artillery shells among other materiel. With President Joe Biden due to leave office before the end of the month, the move constitutes something of a late show of support. 美國提議向以色列出售價值 80 億美元的武器。國務院於週五通知國會這項計劃中的軍備供應案,該提案需經眾議院和參議院的相關委員會批准。此武器供應案包含空對空飛彈、炮彈等軍事物資。在美國總統喬·拜登於本月底前即將卸任之際,此舉可被視為一種遲來的支持表態。 2. Russia vowed retaliation after claiming to have shot down eight American-supplied ATACMS missiles fired by Ukraine at the border region of Belgorod. It also claimed to have taken control of Nadiya, one of the few villages in the Ukrainian region of Luhansk it had not captured. Joe Biden only recently gave Ukraine permission to fire the ATACMS into Russia. Donald Trump says he is vehemently opposed. 俄羅斯聲稱擊...

1. In the last weekend before America’s election, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trumpwere on the stump in crucial** swing states**. Both had North Carolina, which narrowly voted for Mr Trump in 2020 and where our election model puts him just ahead, on their itineraries. In a state recently battered by Hurricane Helene, the Republican repeated false claims that the Biden administration was diverting relief funds to help migrants, as well as attacking Ms Harris on the economy and crime. At a rally for Ms Harris in Georgia, Spike Lee, a film director, urged voters to “do the right thing”—the...

1. Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel-peace-prize winner, landed in Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital, to lead an interim government. He met the army chief and is expected to be sworn in on Thursday. Sheikh Hasina, the former prime minister, resigned and fled on Monday following days of violent unrest. In a guest essay for *The Economist *published before his appointment Mr Yunus laid out the next steps for Bangladesh. 穆罕默德·尤努斯(Muhammad Yunus),諾貝爾和平獎得主,抵達孟加拉首都達卡,準備領導過渡政府。他會見了軍隊總司令,預計將於週四宣誓就職。前總理謝赫·哈西娜(Sheikh Hasina)在持續多日的暴力動亂後,於週一辭職並逃離。在他被任命之前,尤努斯先生在《經濟學人》發表的來賓文章中,闡述了孟加拉的下一步行動計劃。 2. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris agreed to a televised debate on September 10th.

1. The Pentagon said it would deploy more fighter jets and warships to the Middle East, as concerns grew about Iran’s response to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’s political leader, on its territory on Wednesday. Israel is widely assumed to have carried out the airstrike that killed Mr Haniyeh in Tehran. Iran’s promise to “take vengeance” has stoked fears of a regional war. 五角大廈表示,隨著對伊朗回應週三在其領土上暗殺哈馬斯政治領袖伊斯梅爾·哈尼耶的關注日益加劇,它將向中東部署更多戰鬥機和軍艦。以色列被廣泛認為是此次在德黑蘭進行空襲、致哈尼耶死亡的幕後黑手。伊朗承諾“復仇”,引發了對區域戰爭的擔憂。 2. Ukraine claimed to have sunk a Russian submarine in the Crimean port of Sevastopol and damaged an S-400 air-defence system. It added that the Kilo-class Russian vessel had been struck before, in 2023. This time, though, the work was more** thorough**. “The Black Sea fish will enjoy their new home,” tweeted the defence ministry. 烏克蘭聲稱在克里米亞的塞瓦斯托波爾港擊沉了一艘俄羅斯潛艇,並損壞了一個S-400防空系統。烏克蘭補充說,這艘基洛級俄羅斯潛艇曾在2023年被擊中過。但這一次,工作...

1. An IT outage caused businesses around the world to grind to a halt after thousands of workers were unable to log on to their computers. The outage was blamed on an update to software provided by CrowdStrike, an American cybersecurity firm, which is thought to have caused problems with Microsoft’s Windows operating system. Airports, retailers, and the London Stock Exchange are among some of the businesses that are reportedly affected. 一次 IT 當機導致全球各地的業務陷入停滯,因為成千上萬的員工無法登錄他們的電腦。這次當機被歸咎於美國網絡安全公司 CrowdStrike 提供的軟體更新,該更新被認為導致了 Microsoft 的 Windows 操作系統出現問題。據報導,受影響的企業包括機場、零售商和倫敦證券交易所。 **Q: In your point of view, how do we avoid overly rely on technology for everything? ** 2.

1. Joe Biden reportedly arranged virtual meetings with congressional groups one day after delivering a closely watched press conference. Twenty Democrats in the House of Representatives and one senator have publicly called on him to step aside. In Thursday’s news conference Mr Biden combined verbal gaffes with a firm grasp of foreign policy. He promised to stay in the presidential race and “complete the job”. 據報導,喬·拜登在舉行備受關注的新聞發布會一天後安排了與國會小組的虛擬會議。眾議院的二十位民主黨人和一位參議員公開呼籲他退出競選。在星期四的新聞發布會上,拜登總統在出現語言失誤的同時也展現了對外交政策的堅定掌握。他承諾將繼續競選並“完成這項工作”。 2.

1. Sir Keir Starmer promised an “age of national renewal” after his Labour Party won a landslide victory in Britain’s general election. With counting nearly completed, Labour had secured more than 400 seats. Rishi Sunak, the Conservative prime minister, called it a “sobering verdict”. The Tories lost seat after seat to Labour—and were beaten into third place in several places by the populist Reform UK party. The Liberal Democrats were headed for their highest-ever number of seats.

Mr Biden hopes to reassure donors after his poor performance against Donald Trump, his Republican opponent, panicked Democratic elites. So far, Mr Biden has resisted calls to give way to another candidate. Speaking on Friday, he acknowledged that he does not debate like he “used to” but promised to continue his campaign, saying: “When you get knocked down, you get back up.” Some senior Democrats—including Barack Obama—have doubled down on their support for Mr Biden.

1. America will suspend deliveries of air-defence interceptors to other allies in order to rush more of the munitions to Ukraine. The country is under heavy bombardment by Russia, which is targeting its power stations. Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president, has said that Ukraine needs at least seven more** Patriot** systems in order to defend itself against the Russian attacks. Romania announced it would send one such system to its neighbour. 美國將暫停向其他盟友交付防空攔截彈,以便更快地向烏克蘭提供更多的彈藥。該國正遭受俄羅斯的猛烈轟炸,俄羅斯的目標是烏克蘭的發電站。烏克蘭總統弗拉基米爾·澤倫斯基表示,烏克蘭需要至少七套愛國者系統來抵禦俄羅斯的攻擊。羅馬尼亞宣布將向其鄰國烏克蘭提供一套這樣的系統。 2. Vladimir Putin, Russia’s leader, signed several agreements with To Lam, his Vietnamese counterpart, during a two-day visit to Vietnam. The two countries pledged to co-operate on nuclear science and clean energy. Mr. Putin said Russia and Vietnam shared an interest in “developing a reliable security architecture” in Asia.

1. G7 leaders concluded their summit in Italy with a warning to China that they will continue to target actors that “materially support Russia’s war machine”. They called on the superpower to “step up efforts to promote international peace and security”. Leaders also expressed concern at China’s “non-market policies”. In a wide-ranging final statement the G7 warned Iran against advancing its nuclear programme and gave its full support to America’s peace plan for Palestine. Bloomberg reported that references to gay rights and abortion were removed, perhaps to placate Pope Francis, who attended the summit. 工業七大國集團(G7)領導人在義大利結束了他們的峰會,並對中國發出警告,表示他們將繼續針對「實質上支持俄羅斯戰爭機器」的行為者。他們呼籲這個超級大國「加大努力促進國際和平與安全」。領導人們還對中國的「非市場政策」表示關切。在一份涵蓋廣泛內容的最後聲明中,七國集團警告伊朗不要推進其核計劃,並全力支持美國的巴勒斯坦和平計劃。據彭博社報導,聲明中提及的同性戀權利和墮胎內容可能為了安撫參加峰會的教宗方濟各而被刪除。 2. Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, demanded that Ukraine cede four provinces and abandon its NATO bid. The maximalist conditions for ending the war came the day before a peace conference that will be hosted by Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president, in Switzerland. Ukraine rejected the demands; Lloyd Austin, America’s defence secretary, said that Mr Putin was in no “position to dictate to Ukraine” how to bring...

1. Russia and Chinavoiced concerns at the UN Security Council about an American draft resolution on a ceasefire in Gaza. The resolution would back a three-stage proposal, espoused by President Joe Biden, for stopping the war. Hamas is still studying the plan, which Israeli hardliners oppose. To succeed, any resolution needs nine votes in favour and no vetoes from America, Britain, China, France or Russia. 俄羅斯和中國在聯合國安理會對美國提出的加薩停火決議草案表示關切。該決議草案支持拜登總統提出的三階段停戰方案。哈馬斯仍在研究該方案,而以色列強硬派則反對。要成功通過,任何決議需要獲得九票贊成,且不能有美國、英國、中國、法國或俄羅斯的否決票。 2. Israel’s army defended its decision to bomb a school in Gaza, claiming that it **struck **“dozens of Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists hiding inside”.

1. The White House said that Egypt had agreed to send humanitarian aid to Gaza through Kerem Shalom, the main commercial checkpoint between Israel and Gaza. Earlier, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to halt its offensive in Rafah, a city in southern Gaza, and to allow investigators and journalists to visit the enclave. The UN court said that an earlier demand for Israel to allow more aid to be delivered had failed to stop the humanitarian crisis in Gaza from worsening. 白宮表示,埃及已同意通過凱雷姆沙洛姆(Kerem Shalom)邊境口岸向加薩提供人道援助,這是以色列與加薩之間的主要商業檢查站。此前,國際法院要求以色列停止在加薩南部城市拉法的攻勢,並允許調查人員和記者訪問該地區。聯合國法庭表示,先前要求以色列允許更多援助進入的呼籲未能阻止加薩的人道危機惡化。 -> In your opinion, why do the USA and the UN help Gaza so much without ending the war once and for all? 2.

1. Benny Gantz said he would pull his centrist party out of Binyamin Netanyahu’s emergency wartime coalition if the Israeli prime minister did not agree to a new plan for the future of Israel’s war by June 8th. Mr Gantz set out a six-point strategy that prioritised the return of captives being held by Hamas. His ultimatum came after Israeli forces said they had recovered the body of another hostage, the fourth in two days. 班尼·甘茨表示,如果以色列總理本雅明·內塔尼亞胡不同意一項關於以色列戰爭未來的新計劃,他將在6月8日之前將他的中間派政黨退出內塔尼亞胡的緊急戰時聯盟。甘茨提出了一個六點策略,重點在於優先尋找被哈馬斯扣押的人質。此最後通牒發出前,以色列軍隊表示他們已經找回了另一名人質的遺體,這是兩天內的第四具。 -> In your opinion, is holding hostages a good strategy in a war?

1. Israel has told tens of thousands more residents of Rafah in southern Gaza to evacuate, as its troops prepare to step up operations there, in defiance of warnings that an invasion would paralyse aid operations and cause unacceptable civilian casualties. President Joe Biden has said America will not provide offensive weapons to Israel for Rafah. On Friday, a report from America’s State Department said it had found “reasonable” evidence that Israel’s use of American-supplied weapons during the war had violated international humanitarian law. 以色列已告知加沙南部拉法的數萬居民撤離,因為它的軍隊準備加強那裡的行動,不顧入侵將癱瘓援助行動並造成不可接受的平民傷亡的警告。美國總統喬·拜登表示,美國不會向以色列提供拉法的攻擊性武器。上週五,美國國務院的一份報告表示,發現以色列在戰爭期間使用美國提供的武器違反了國際人道法,有「合理」證據支持。 -> If you were Joe Biden, what would you do about Israel? 2.

The** Bureau** of Labor Statistics revealed that America added 175,000 new non-farm jobs in April, fewer than expected, and well below March’s revised figure of 315,000. Unemployment edged up to 3.9%, from 3.8%. The figures triggered speculation that the Federal Reserve could begin cutting interest rates by as early as September. 因看好的勞動市場數據引發降息希望讓美國股市上漲。美國勞工統計局透露,四月份新增非農就業人數為17.5萬,低於預期,遠低於三月份修正後的31.5萬。失業率從3.8%上升至3.9%。這些數據引發了市場猜測,認為聯準會可能在九月早些時候開始降息。 -> What is your definition of healthy labor market?

America’s Commerce Department said that slowing international trade and business inventories were responsible for the decline. First-quarter core annual inflation stood at 3.7%, above analyst estimates of 3.4%, suggesting that the Federal Reserve may delay cutting interest rates. 美國經濟增長速度在第一季度低於預期。GDP數據較預測的2.2%增長短缺,年增長率為1.6%。美國商務部表示,國際貿易放緩和商業庫存下降是導致這一下降的原因。第一季度核心年度通脹率為3.7%,高於分析師預測的3.4%,這表明美聯儲可能延遲降息。 Do you think Taiwan is suffering the poor economy too?

1. Israel reportedly carried out an attack against Iran. Israeli defence officials told the New York Times that a missile had struck a site in the Islamic Republic. The strike appears to be retaliation for Iran’s attack on Israel on April 13th. Iran activated its air-defence systems and suspended flights over several big cities, including the capital Tehran. Iranian state media reported** explosions** near Isfahan, a city in central Iran which is home to a big army base, but said that the cause of the blasts were not clear. Oil prices jumped on the news. 據報導,以色列對伊朗進行了一次襲擊。以色列國防官員告訴《紐約時報》一枚導彈擊中了伊斯蘭共和國的一個地點。這次襲擊似乎是對伊朗4月13日對以色列的攻擊的報復。伊朗啟動了其防空系統並暫停了幾個大城市的航班,包括首都德黑蘭。伊朗官方媒體報導稱,在伊朗中部城市伊斯法罕附近發生了爆炸,該城市是一個大型軍事基地所在地,但爆炸的原因尚不清楚。消息一出,油價飆升。 2. America vetoed a resolution in the UN Security Council to grant full UN membership to Palestine, which is a non-member observer.

1. Iran reportedly fired missiles towards Israel in addition to slower-moving drones, which could take hours to reach the border. As Israel’s air-defence system intercepted the incoming barrage, explosions were heard in Jerusalem; America’s army reportedly shot down drones, too. Both Israel and Iran said they had closed their airspace; Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon followed suit. Iran’s mission to the UN confirmed that the attack was retaliation for an Israeli strike on Iran’s consulate in Damascus earlier this month, and said that the “matter can be deemed concluded”. 據報導,伊朗向以色列發射了導彈,除此之外還發射了速度較慢的無人機,需要數小時才能到達邊界。隨著以色列的防空系統攔截了來襲的猛烈轟炸,耶路撒冷傳出了爆炸聲;據報導,美國軍隊也擊落了無人機。以色列和伊朗都表示已封閉其領空;伊拉克、約旦和黎巴嫩也效仿此舉。伊朗駐聯合國使團確認此次襲擊是對本月初以色列對伊朗在大馬士革領事館的打擊的報復,並表示此事“可以視為結案”。 2. President Joe Biden, who returned to the White House from his home in Delaware to meet his national-security team, said that America’s support for Israel was “ironclad”.

1. Tens of thousands of Israelis rallied in Tel Aviv and other cities, calling on the prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, to reach a deal to free hostages held by Hamas. Sunday marks six months since their capture. Many protesters chanted anti-government slogans and called for immediate elections. On Saturday Israel’s army said it had recovered the body of Elad Katzir, one of those seized by Hamas during the attacks of October 7th. Around 130 hostages remain in Gaza. 數以萬計的以色列人在特拉維夫和其他城市舉行集會,呼籲總理本雅明·內塔尼亞胡達成一項協議,釋放哈馬斯所扣押的人質。4/7週日標誌著這些人質被捕獲已經六個月。許多抗議者高呼反政府口號,並呼籲立即舉行選舉。週六,以色列軍方表示已找到埃拉德·卡茲爾(Elad Katzir)的遺體,他是在10月7日的襲擊中被哈馬斯所擄。大約有130名人質仍被囚於加薩地帶。 2. Joe Biden’s re-election campaign raised more than $90m in March, up from around $53m in February.

1) Israeli officials travelled to Egypt for another round of talks over a ceasefire deal in Gaza. According to Reuters, Hamas** representatives** would not be** present** in Cairo as they await an Israeli offer. The negotiations are thought to revolve around a six-week pause in Israel’s operation in Gaza in return for the freedom of the remaining hostages taken by Hamas during the October 7th attack. Meanwhile, the office of Israel’s prime minister, Binyamin Netayanhu, said that he would be admitted to hospital for a hernia operation. 以色列官員前往埃及就加薩停火協議進行另一輪談判。根據路透社報道,哈馬斯代表不會出席開羅,因為他們正在等待以色列的提議。據認為,談判將圍繞以色列在加薩的行動暫停六週展開,以換取哈馬斯在 10 月 7 日襲擊中劫持的剩餘人質的自由。同時,以色列總理納塔雅胡的辦公室表示,他將被送往醫院接受疝氣手術。 2) Chinesemanufacturing activity grew in March, the first such rise in six months.

1. Vladimir Putin said that Russian security services had arrested four men who carried out a terror attack on a concert hall near Moscow. The men are understood to be among a total of 11 people detained in connection with Friday’s attack, which killed at least 133 people and wounded many more. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the rampage, sharing an image of the perpetrators on Telegram, a messaging platform. American officials, who warned Russia of an imminent attack two weeks ago, said they had no reason to doubt the claim’s credibility. 弗拉基米爾·普京表示,俄羅斯安全部門已逮捕了四名實施恐怖襲擊莫斯科附近一個音樂廳的男子。據悉,這四名男子是在星期五的襲擊中被捕的11人中的一部分,該襲擊造成至少133人死亡,並造成許多人受傷。伊斯蘭國聲稱對這次暴行負責,並在電報(一個即時通訊平台)上分享了肇事者的圖像。兩週前警告俄羅斯即將發生襲擊的美國官員表示,他們沒有理由懷疑該聲稱的可信度。 2. The attack is the worst terrorist incident to take place in Russia for decades. In his address, Mr Putin made no mention of Islamic State’s involvement. Promising to “punish everyone who stands behind the terrorists”, he tried to connect the attackers to Ukraine and claimed they were captured while** flee**ing to the border.

政治篇: 香港判刑12人-《逃犯條例修訂草案》 經濟篇: Elon Musk 為美國打造「星盾」情報衛星網 小撇步: 如何知道自己的競爭力有多少? 台灣其實很年齡歧視! 1. A ship carrying aid for Gaza could depart from Cyprus within two days, according to Cyprus’s foreign ministry. This would be the second such aid shipment after 200 tonnes of food were delivered to the enclave on Friday. The UN has repeatedly warned of a looming famine in Gaza. Reuters reported that ceasefire talks in Qatar would resume on Sunday. 根據塞浦路斯外交部的消息,一艘運輸援助物資前往加沙的船隻可能在兩天內從塞浦路斯啟航。這將是繼上週五向該地區交付了200噸食品之後的第二批援助物資。聯合國已多次警告說,加沙正在面臨一場迫在眉睫的饑荒。路透社報導,位於卡塔的停火談判將於星期日重新啟動。 2. SpaceX, Elon Musk’s rocket company, is reportedly building a web of surveillance satellites for the National Reconnaissance Office, an American intelligence agency. The network of hundreds of low-Earth orbit satellites could help America to identify targets almost anywhere.

1. Leo Varadkar, Ireland’s prime minister, acknowledged defeat in a two-part referendum about modernising the constitution. His government, with the support of other parties, had sought to expand the constitutional definition of families to include “durable relationships”. And it wanted to change a reference to a mother’s “duties in the home” to one about family-based care. The results will disappoint those who have welcomed the wave of liberalisation that has washed over the country in recent years, on matters including divorce and abortion. 愛爾蘭總理利奧·瓦拉德卡 (Leo Varadkar) 承認在關於憲法現代化的兩部分公投中失敗。他的政府在其他政黨的支持下,試圖擴大家庭的憲法定義,將「持久的關係」納入。它還希望將母親的「家庭職責」改為有關基於家庭的照護。結果將使那些歡迎近年來在離婚和墮胎等問題上席捲全國的自由化浪潮的人們感到失望。 2. Joe Biden signed a $460bn package of spending bills into law just in time to prevent a partial government shutdown. The six bills, which were passed by the Senate on Friday, fund various government departments, including housing and transport, until the end of September. The work is not yet done, though.

America’s air force dropped almost 40,000 meals in Gaza, where the UN estimates that over 500,000 people are on the brink of famine. On Thursday violence erupted when thousands of hungry civilians surrounded an aid convoy. Gaza’s health ministry said more than 112 people died. Local authorities say Israeli soldiers shot them dead. Israel says they fired warning shots and most died in a stampede. The UN later said that many people treated at a nearby hospital had gunshot wounds. 美國空軍在加薩地區投放了近40,000份糧食,聯合國估計該地區有超過50萬人處於饑荒的邊緣。上週四,當數千名飢餓的平民包圍一輛救援車隊時,暴力爆發。加薩地區的衛生部表示,有超過112人死亡。當地當局聲稱是以色列士兵擊斃了他們。以色列表示他們發出了警告射擊,大多數人是在踩踏事件中死亡。聯合國後來表示,許多在附近醫院接受治療的人有槍傷。 2. General Oleksandr Syrsky, the commander in chief of Ukraine’s armed forces, suggested that he would consider replacing some commanders on the eastern front, where fighting with Russia appears to have intensified.

41-1 克洛伊的經濟學人 Chloe's Economist~美國針對伊拉克和敘利亞發動空襲; 北愛爾蘭、塞內加爾、巴基斯坦、烏克蘭、馬爾地夫的政治最新走向!
1. Iran’s foreign ministry condemned American strikes on targets in Iraq and Syria as an “adventurous and strategic mistake” that will increase tension in the region. Last night America launched a series of air strikes on targets linked to Iran-backed proxies and the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps; dozens appear to have been killed. Iraq’s military said the strikes could have “dire consequences”. The American operation was launched in retaliation for drone attacks by Iran-backed militias that killed three American soldiers in Jordan last Sunday. 伊朗外交部譴責美國對伊拉克和敘利亞目標發動的空襲,稱其為一個「冒險而戰略性的錯誤」,將加劇該地區的緊張局勢。昨晚,美國對與伊朗支持的代理人和該國伊斯蘭革命衛隊有關的目標發動了一系列空襲;據報導,數十人可能已經喪生。伊拉克軍方表示,這些空襲可能會帶來「嚴重的後果」。美國的行動是為了報復伊朗支持的民兵使用無人機上週日在約旦殺死三名美國士兵的攻擊。 2. Lawmakers in Northern Ireland appointed Michelle O’Neill of Sinn Féin as first minister, the first time a nationalist has led the province. The move came after the pro-British Democratic Unionist Party agreed to return to the power-sharing government after a two-year absence, having reached a deal with Britain’s government over post-Brexit trading agreements.

政治篇 1. Three American soldiers were killed, and 34 more were injured, in a drone attack on a base in Jordan, near the border with Syria. President Joe Biden blamed “radical Iran-backed militant groups”, and promised to hold the people responsible to account. These are the first deaths in conflict of American soldiers in the Middle East since Israel’s war in Gaza began in October; in the months since ten other countries have been dragged into fighting in the region. 三名美國士兵在約旦一座靠近敘利亞邊境的基地遭到無人機襲擊,喪生3人,另有34人受傷。總統喬·拜登指責“激進的伊朗支援的激進組織”,並承諾追究責任。這是自以色列在十月開始對加薩的戰爭以來,美國士兵在中東衝突中的首次死亡;在此期間,其他十個國家已經捲入了該地區的戰鬥。 2.

The protests followed the revelation that late last year senior AfD members had discussed plans for the large-scale deportation of migrants. The AfD has just 78 of the Bundestag’s 736 seats, but polls suggest it is the country’s second-most popular party. 上萬人—僅漢堡就有5萬人—齊聚德國各地城鎮,抗議極右翼的德國另類選擇黨。這些抗議活動是在去年底揭示該黨高層成員曾討論大規模驅逐移民計劃後爆發的。儘管另類選擇黨在國會736席中僅擁有78席,但民意調查顯示該黨是德國第二受歡迎的政黨。 2.

This is due to recent mass attacks by Hamas, which have made a peaceful coexistence more challenging. 摧毀哈馬斯:以色列的首要目標是根除哈馬斯,包括其軍事基礎設施和領導層。這是因為哈馬斯最近進行了大規模襲擊,使和平共存變得更加困難。 2. Freeing Hostages: Israel aims to free over 220 individuals held hostage in Gaza. However, this goal may complicate the military operation as Hamas may use these hostages as leverage. 釋放人質:以色列的目標是解救加沙被扣押的220多名個人。然而,這一目標可能會使軍事行動複雜化,因為哈馬斯可能會利用這些人質作為籌碼。...

He could not say anything more. His words were choked by sobbing. The night had fallen. I had let my tools drop from my hand...

Anthony Albanese, the prime minister of Australia, and Rishi Sunak, the prime minister of Britain, met Joe Biden, the American president, in San Diego to announce the next stage of the three countries’ AUKUS defense pact. In a landmark agreement, Britain is to help design and build a new type of submarine for Australia, and America will sell nuclear-powered submarines to Australia in the 2030s. The deal expands the involvement of Britain and Australia in policing the Indo-Pacific. China said the AUKUS countries were travelling down “a dangerous road”. 澳洲總理 Anthony Albanese 和英國首相 Rishi Sunak 在聖地牙哥 (San Diego) 會見了美國總統 Joe Biden,並 (共同) 宣佈了三國下一階段的 AUKU...

感謝每日一經濟學人分享以下文章和翻譯: 1. The National People’s Congress, China’s rubber-stamp parliament, opened its annual session. The outgoing prime minister, Li Keqiang, kicked things off by announcing an economic growth target of “around 5%” in 2023, lower than many external forecasts. Xi Jinping blamed Western countries led by America for trying to suppress China. The congress is expected to approve a set of reforms that will give Mr Xi more direct control over government bodies. It will also confirm him for a norm-busting third term as president. 中國的橡皮圖章國會 (全國人民代表大會 / 人大) 召開了年度會議。即將卸任的總理李克強宣佈了 2023年“5% 左右”的經濟成長目標,低於許多外部預測。習近平指責以美國為首的西方國家試圖打壓中國。預計人大將批准一系列的改革措施,讓習近平更直接地控制政府機構。人大還將確認習打破常規的第三個國家主席任期。 2. China’s foreign minister, Qin Gang秦剛, warned America that its hostile attitude was in danger of souring relations between the two countries, comparing the situation to a train heading towards derailment. China is also “seriously concerned” that the president of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen, is going to meet the speaker of America’s House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, in the United States.

來看看3月初的全球政治經濟重要事件,以下原文感謝每日一經濟學人提供: 1. Britain’s health service braced for more industrial action as junior doctors voted to strike. Nurses were due to strike again at the beginning of March, but have put this on hold amid talks with the government. In December nurses walked out for the first time in over 100 years, joining other unionised workers as high inflation erodes pay. Public opinion is split on the strikes, but a majority of people think the government’s handling of them has been poor. 隨著年輕醫生們投票罷工,英國的公衛部門準備迎接更多的工會行動。護士們原訂於三月初再次罷工,但在與政府的談判中擱置了。(去年) 12月,由於高通膨侵蝕了薪資,護士們在一百多年來首次罷工,加入了其他工會的行列。公眾輿論對罷工存在著分歧,但大多數人認為政府對罷工的處理不當。 America’s Supreme Court heard arguments in two cases that could potentially undermine the business model of social-media companies. In Gonzalez v Google the parents of a woman who was killed in a terror attack on Paris in 2015 claim that YouTube aided the terrorists by recommending the group’s videos to users. The case focuses on the legal protection from liability given to internet companies under Section 230 of the Commun...

(感謝每日一經濟學人提供以下資料) PS. 納斯達克(NASDAQ),音檔中誤讀納斯坦克, 在此更正, 向各位聽眾說聲不好意思! An earthquake of magnitude 7.8 struck southern Turkey and northern Syria, killing at least 16,000 people. A second powerful earthquake followed shortly after. The toll is expected to rise significantly. It was the world’s deadliest earthquake since 2010, when 220,000 people died in Haiti, or 2011 in Japan, where 21,000 were killed, but mostly by a resulting tsunami. Turkey imposed a state of emergency in the affected areas. 土耳其南部和敘利亞北部發生芮氏規模 7.8級地震,造成至少 16,000人死亡。不久之後發生了第二次強震。預計死亡人數將大幅上升。這是自 2010年海地 220,000人死亡或 2011年日本 21,000人喪生 (但主要死於所引發之海嘯) 以來世界上最致命的地震。土耳其在受影響地區實施緊急狀態。 Parts of northern Syria, devastated by more than a decade of civil war, were struck by the earthquakes. Bab al-Hawa, a crucial border crossing with Turkey that allows international aid into the country, was left unpassable. The UN announced that cross-border aid had been temporarily halted. 遭受十多年內戰破壞的敘利亞北部部分地區遭受了地震襲擊。Bab al-Hawa 是通往土耳其的重要邊境口岸,而其允許國際援助進入該國,但無法通行。聯合國宣佈暫時停止跨境援助。 Volodymyr Zelensky visited London, his second trip outside Ukraine s...

Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, bowed to mounting pressure and said he would send German-made Leopards. He also agreed to drop a long-standing German ban on the re-export of Leopards by other European countries that have them. As part of an international agreement that involved a fair degree of ill-will, America said it would send its main tank, the M1 Abrams. But the tanks will take time to arrive, and Ukrainian soldiers will need weeks of training on them. 經過了幾個月的辯論,西方支持國們將向烏克蘭派遣坦克車。德國總理舒茨 (Olaf Scholz) 屈服於越來越大的壓力,並表示將派遣德國製造的豹式坦克車。舒茨還同意取消德國長期禁止其他擁有豹式的歐洲國家再出口豹式之禁令。作為一項涉及相當程度...

Vladimir Putin’s excuse for this unprovoked act of aggression was that he wanted to “de-Nazify” the country, a democracy with a Jewish president, Volodymyr Zelensky. The invasion, which Mr Putin thought would end in a quick and easy victory, proved spectacularly incompetent. 俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭。俄國總統普丁對此一無端侵略行為的藉口是想對烏國這個擁有猶太裔總統澤倫斯基的民主國家,進行「去納粹化」。普丁認為此次入侵將以快速輕鬆的勝利告終,但事實證明其根本無法。 2.Russia failed to take Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital. Its vehicles and kit broke down. Ukrainians fought hard, picking off Russian fuel and ammunition supplies and pushing the invaders back. America and Europe supplied Ukraine with weapons, cash and intelligence. Russia shelled civilians, tortured captives, kidnapped children and made thinly veiled threats to use nuclear weapons. 俄國沒能拿下烏克蘭首都基輔。其軍武設施皆損壞。烏克蘭人奮力作戰、攻取俄軍燃料和彈藥補給,並擊...

For decades just such an exercise of high-calibre ambiguity has kept the peace between America and China over Taiwan, an island of 24m people, 100 miles (160km) off China’s coast.

Frustrations with months of lockdowns spread after a fire in Urumqi, in the western region of Xinjiang, left ten dead on Thursday. Many blamed covid restrictions for hindering fire-fighters and occupants who were trying to escape. On Saturday night demonstrators in Shanghai called for President Xi Jinping to step down—an extremely rare show of defiance. On Sunday night in Beijing crowds sang the “Internationale”, a French socialist anthem, and mourned the deaths in Xinjiang. Students at several university campuses held up blank sheets of paper to highlight China’s lack of f...
