    你喜歡傳統市場嗎?上一次去是什麼時候呢?是熟門熟路地跟老闆娘殺價,還是像個觀光客一樣站在攤位前完全不知道該買多少?本週的《英語咖啡館》John 老師和 Klim 老師要來聊聊一個台灣人再熟悉不過、但外國人卻有些頭痛的地方:傳統市場!

    這集從「超市派 vs. 市場派」的激辯開始,兩位老師各有喜好、聽起來難分軒輊互不相讓!再來是傳統市場的議價文化和計量單位等眉角,Klim 老師還透露了他在市場裡買過最「猛」的食材,而 John 老師每次逛市場一定要吃的那樣東西居然是這個?

    Do you like traditional markets? When was the last time you went? Do you know your way around and haggle with the vendors, or do you stand in front of stalls like a tourist completely unsure how much to buy? This week on English Cafe, John and Klim talk about a place that's all too familiar to Taiwanese people but can give foreigners a headache: traditional markets!

    This episode starts with a heated debate of "Team Supermarket vs. Team Market," with each teacher having their own preferences—it's neck and neck with neither backing down! Then there's the haggling culture and measurement units of traditional markets and their intricacies. Klim even reveals the most "intense" ingredient he's ever bought at the market, and the thing John must eat every time he visits the market is actually this?!

L178: 日圓重貶,日銀騎虎難下 Yen Slides to 160, BOJ Signals It Is Watching Highlights 主題摘要BOJ Governor Ueda told parliament on March 30 that yen movements have a "huge impact" on Japan's economy, signalling growing pressure for faster rate hikes.The BOJ held rates at 0.75% in March, but oil-driven inflation is pushing household costs up five to seven percent year-on-year, narrowing its room to wait.Japanese overseas travel in 2024 recovered to just 13 million departures — still a third below pre-pandemic levels — as the weak yen keeps foreign trips out of reach. For Japan, the currency market has become the fulcrum of economic debate. On March 30, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda told parliament that foreign exchange movements have a "huge impact" on the country's economy and prices — the clearest signal yet that yen weakness is no longer a peripheral concern but a primary driver of monetary policy. The yen briefly touched 160.27 to the dollar on March 28, its weakest since July 2024, when authorities had previously intervened to arrest the currency's slide. Tokyo's Vice Finance Minister Atsushi Mimura warned of growing speculative activity, while Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama stated the government stood ready to take "bold actions." 日圓匯率問題,已成為日本當前經濟辯論的核心議題。3月30日,日銀行長植田和男在國會表示,外匯市場的波動對日本的經濟與物價走勢有「巨大影響」,這是迄今最直接的信號,顯示日圓疲軟已不再是次要問題,而是貨幣政策的主要考量。日圓在3月28日一度觸及1美元兌160.27日圓,創下2024年7月以來新低,當年當局曾進場干預,壓制日圓跌勢。財務省副大臣三村淳表示對外匯市場投機交易升溫的憂慮,財務大臣片山皋月則聲明政府已準備好採取「大膽行動」。 The structural cause remains a stubbornly wide interest rate differential. After ending its negative interest rate regime in March 2024, the BOJ raised borrowing costs cautiously, taking a gradualist path to 0.75%. But with the US Federal Reserve keeping rates elevated, the gap remains vast. Investors routinely borrow cheaply in yen and deploy capital into higher-yielding assets elsewhere — the carry trade — putting the yen under persistent selling pressure. 日圓長期走軟的結構性根源,在於日本與其他主要經濟體之間長期懸殊的利差。日銀於2024年3月結束負利率政策後,已逐步將利率調升至0.75%,但美國聯準會為壓制通膨而維持高利率,兩者之間的利差依然顯著。投資人持續以低廉成本借入日圓,將資金配置到海外收益率更高的資產,形成所謂的套利交易,持續壓低市場對日圓的需求。 Urgency sharpened in 2026 as surging oil prices, driven by the Middle East conflict, compounded the inflationary effect on import costs. At the March meeting, at least one BOJ board member called for rate hikes "without hesitation." Ueda told parliament the bank would "guide policy appropriately" by scrutinising how currency moves affect its forecasts. Markets now price a two-in-three chance of a hike to 1% as soon as May — the first aggressive tightening cycle Japan has seen in decades. 進入2026年後,局勢明顯更加緊迫。中東衝突帶動油價飆升,進一步放大日圓貶值對進口成本的推升效應。在3月政策會議上,至少一位委員主張,只要經濟情勢未見明顯惡化,就應「毫不猶豫」升息。植田和男在國會答詢時表示,日銀將評估匯率波動對成長與物價預測的影響,「適當引導政策方向」。市場目前預估,日銀最快在5月升息至1%的機率約達三分之二,若成真,將是日本數十年來首次連續緊縮的升息週期。 For ordinary households, the toll is concrete. Overseas travel by Japanese citizens recovered to only 13 million departures in 2024 — still roughly a third below 2019's 20.1 million ...

  • 回顧星期天LBS - 嬰兒相關時事趣聞 All about babies
    Apr 11 2026
    Smart Crib' Aims to Help Rockabye Baby As every new parent knows, sleep can go out the window after the arrival of a newborn. 如每對剛生孩子的爸媽所知,新生兒到來後,再也沒有夜夜好眠。 That was certainly the case for parents Radhika and Bharath Patil, who seeking relief for their own disrupted sleep patterns, put their electronic engineering backgrounds together to create a "smart crib." 這確實就是拉德西卡和巴拉特‧帕蒂爾的狀況,這對父母正在補救自身混亂的睡眠模式,結合他們的電子工程背景,創造了一個「智慧嬰兒床」。 Their crib, powered by artificial intelligence, combines a baby monitor, rocker, bassinet and crib in one. 他們把一台嬰兒監視器、弧形搖桿、搖籃和嬰兒床合而為一,由人工智慧來驅動嬰兒床。 "It's not the amount of work around the baby that tires the parents, it's the lack of sleep," Radhika Patil, Cradlewise chief executive, told Reuters in an interview. 「智慧搖籃」執行長拉德西卡‧帕蒂爾在訪問中告訴路透,「並非圍繞著嬰兒的工作量累到父母,而是睡眠不足。」 Early detection is key, she said, adding that the sooner parents can detect the baby waking up, the easier it is to get the child to fall back asleep. 她說,早期偵測是關鍵,並補充指出,父母越早發現嬰兒醒來,就越容易讓他們的孩子再度入睡。 "Once you put the baby in, the crib takes care of everything. That's the aim," Bharath Patil said. 巴拉特‧帕蒂爾說,「只要把嬰兒放進去,嬰兒床就顧好每件事。這就是目的。」 New Thoughts on the Math of Effective Baby Talk It has been nearly 20 years since a landmark education study found that, by age 3, children from low-income families have heard 30 million fewer words than more affluent children, putting them at an educational disadvantage before they have begun school. 將近20年前,一項具有里程碑意義的教育研究發現,低收入戶兒童到了3歲時,已比家庭較富裕的兒童少聽到3000萬個字彙,以致就學前即已處於教育上的劣勢。 Now, a growing body of research is challenging the notion that merely exposing poor children to more language is enough to overcome the deficits they face. The quality of the communication between children and their parents and caregivers, the researchers say, is of much greater importance than the number of words a child hears. 如今,越來越多的研究向此一觀念提出挑戰,不認為光是讓貧窮兒童暴露於更多語言,就能克服他們所面對的不足。這些研究人員指出,兒童與父母及看顧者之間的溝通品質,遠比兒童聽到多少字彙來得重要。 A study presented last month at a White House conference on "bridging the word gap" found that among 2-year-olds from low-income families, quality interactions involving words — the use of shared symbols ("Look, a dog!"); rituals ("Want a bottle after your bath?"); and conversational fluency ("Yes, that is a bus!") — were a far better predictor of language skills at age 3 than any other factor. 上月在白宮「縮小字彙差距」會議中發表的一項研究結果發現,對2歲的低收入戶兒童而言,和字彙相關的優質互動,例如使用共通的符號(「看哪,一隻狗!」);固定程序(「洗完澡想喝瓶奶?」);流暢的對話(「是的,這是一輛公車!」),在預測3歲兒童語言技巧方面,是遠勝於其他因素的更好指標。 "It's not just about shoving words in," said Kathryn Hirsh-Pasek, a professor of psychology at Temple University in Philadelphia and lead author of the study. "It's about having these fluid conversations around shared rituals and objects, like pretending to have morning coffee together or using the banana as a phone." 費城天普大學心理學教授、該研究報告主要作者凱瑟琳.赫許─巴塞克說:「它不光是塞進字彙而已,它與圍繞著共有的固定程序和物件的流暢對話有關,例如佯裝一起喝晨間咖啡,或是拿香蕉當電話打。」 In a related finding, published in April, researchers who observed 11- and 14-month-old children in their homes found that the prevalence of one-on-one interactions and frequent use of parentese — the slow, high-pitched voice commonly used for talking to babies — were reliable predictors of language ability at age 2. The total number of words had no correlation with future ability. 四月發表的一項相關研究中,研究人員觀察11個月和14個月大孩子在家中的生活情形,發現經常一對一互動,以及頻繁使用「父母語」,也就是父母常用的,對嬰兒說話的那種緩慢、高音調聲音,是2歲兒童語言能力的可靠預測指標。字彙的總數量與兒童的未來能力無關。 Even the 1995 study that introduced the notion of the 30-...
