John老師:「很多生產力提升的書,讀完方法論就像讀完PhD,手冊太厚、要follow的事情太多,你就覺得成功離你太遠!但Mel Robbins很friendly,就像隔壁家阿姨,戴著粗框眼鏡,平易近人,用的詞彙不會很深!」 她用的比喻超簡單:當你猶豫要不要把球踢出去,別人已經踢出去了球不踢出去,成功率就是0%總是要先踢出去才會知道 AI時代的閱讀方式: 阿鍵老師:「現在有AI輔助,我們看得很快、過濾也很快!以前可能花半天一天看一本書,現在一個下午20幾本書,一直過濾過濾!」 「比較多是在篩選上面協助我們!」 The 5 Second Rule:五秒法則 核心概念:5-4-3-2-1 當你沒有辦法take action時,當你心中很多雜念、無法專注時:在心裡默念或直接念出來「5-4-3-2-1」 在這幾秒鐘裡,你就很容易轉念! 阿鍵老師:「這五秒鐘不要去想你待會要幹嘛,你就是倒數!在這五秒鐘會幫你把思緒集中到接下來要做的事情上面,這是一個很神奇的心理運作過程!」 背後原理:啟動「蜥蜴腦」 蜥蜴腦(Lizard Brain): 管理我們求生、比較原始的能力Fight or flight的反應媽媽的倒數 vs 自己倒數: John老師:「小時候媽媽說『我數到三,一二三八樓!』是在幫我們啟動蜥蜴腦——你跟媽媽打架,要不然就逃跑!」 「如果我媽媽倒數,我應該很慘!但想一想,Mel Robbins講得也沒錯:你在倒數時,尤其是自己替自己倒數,更容易摒除雜念、啟動理性作業、理清當下!」** 💡 Two Uses:兩種使用情境 情境1:猶豫不決時 John老師:「When you are undecisive,沒辦法決定一件事情時:5-4-3-2-1,你更能回歸本心、看清楚本心本意是什麼!」 阿鍵老師舉例:「內向的人問路時會想很多,到底要不要找這個人?但其實5-4-3-2-1,直接上了,問路是大家都會的!」 John老師補充:「你猶豫的是要找帥哥還是美女?5-4-3-2-1,結果不是找美女也不是找帥哥,找那個老伯伯——回到本位了!」 情境2:拖延、動力不足時 「我今天應該要做學習、我已經plan要做這件事,但為什麼行動帶不起來?這時候你需要5 second rule!」 阿鍵老師:「倒數完就是幫你解決掉理由、把藉口給殺掉了!」 John老師:「甚至讓你可以觀察到你的猶豫!當你觀察到它以後,它就不存在了!你會問:Why am I hesitating?為什麼我不做?立場就switch了——本來是被理由綁住,現在變成一個主動、active的人!」 🎯 需要刻意練習! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't John老師:「這需要刻意練習!就像任何運動員一樣,不是天生來就有辦法,有些人有天賦5-4-3-2-1就啟動了,但別人要花刻意練習的能力才能啟動!」 刻意練習久了: 每次倒數5-4-3-2-1後,那些雜念、心裡的反抗、蜥蜴腦的voice就會消失你的flow被打斷時,5-4-3-2-1幫你回到專注狀態適用情境: 起床爬不起來:5-4-3-2-1自我怀疑(Imposter Syndrome):5-4-3-2-1Meeting卡住想吃東西:5-4-3-2-1回到狀態關掉電視機、少用social media:5-4-3-2-1被完美主義影響:5-4-3-2-1🔍 Self-Awareness自覺感的重要性 John老師:「心理學裡有一個部分是自覺感。If you become more self-aware,很多問題其實就不見了,它自己會不見!但你越沒有self-awareness、沒有自覺感,你就不知道它存在!」 Prioritize你的注意力: 阿鍵老師:「你注意的著重點是什麼,它就會變成重要的!只要注意點一直都是『我好緊張我好焦慮』或『我不會』,那它就變成重要的。但如果把注意點放在『我要去進行了』,那些不會、焦慮就變得沒那麼重要了!」 💪 信心來自行動! Mel Robbins的核心觀念: 阿鍵老師:「我們的信心來自於行動,不是因為有信心之後才去做行動!我們行為做久了之後,才能夠建立信心!」 John老師:「...

    Summary:

    Tesla’s overtook Toyota as the world’s most valuable carmaker recently as a sign that investors are believing more and more in an energy transition away from fossil fuels. On the day that Tesla exceeded Toyota in market value, Tesla shares rose 3.5% in intraday trading, giving it a market capitalization of US207.2billion (Toyota’s were USD201.9billion). Tesla made 103,000 vehicles in the last quarter, only about 4% of the 2.4 million made by Toyota. So, by 2025, we should be able to see electric vehicle account for 10% of all global passenger vehicles.

    這集 Klim 老師親自出馬，帶大家從台北、台中、高雄一路吃到花蓮，精選四間風格截然不同的 Halal 友善餐廳，有70年老字號、土耳其料理、印尼小吃，還有跨越印度、尼泊爾、巴基斯坦風味的咖哩館。每一間都有讓人意想不到的亮點，其中有一道菜的中文名稱讓 John 老師當場傻眼——到底是什麼菜這麼特別？聽了就知道！

    Ramadan is here! Do you have Muslim friends around you? Or are you traveling in Taiwan and looking for Halal restaurants? This week on English Cafe, we're dedicating a special episode to Ramadan: "Taiwan's Halal Food Map." John and Klim will tell you why Taiwan is becoming an increasingly beloved food paradise for Muslim travelers worldwide!

    In this episode, Klim personally takes everyone on a culinary journey from Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung all the way to Hualien, featuring four distinctly styled Halal-friendly restaurants. There's a 70-year-old establishment, Turkish cuisine, Indonesian snacks, and a curry house spanning Indian, Nepalese, and Pakistani flavors.

L160: Epstein Files Unleash Political Conspiracies Highlights 主題摘要The release of the Epstein files has reignited fierce controversy and wild conspiracy theories.Catastrophic redaction failures exposed victim identities, severely damaging public trust in government agencies.The relentless obsession with these files distracts voters and traumatizes the actual victims. The release of the Jeffrey Epstein files has reignited a firestorm of political controversy and wild conspiracy theories across the United States. In early 2026, millions of recently declassified documents were made public, exposing extensive networks of powerful figures. Rather than providing clear answers, the document dump has fueled rampant speculation. Names of high-profile politicians, including former President Bill Clinton and current President Donald Trump, appear frequently in the logs. While the files confirm both men socialized with Epstein decades ago, no concrete evidence of criminal wrongdoing by either leader has officially emerged. 艾普斯坦檔案的發布，在全美再度引爆了政治爭議與各種荒誕的陰謀論。二〇二六年初，數百萬頁近期解密的檔案被公開，揭露了龐大的權貴交友網絡。這批外洩文件非但沒有提供明確解答，反而助長了猖獗的臆測。前總統比爾・柯林頓與現任總統唐納・川普等知名政客的名字頻繁出現在這些紀錄中。儘管檔案證實兩人幾十年前都曾與艾普斯坦有過往來，但目前官方尚未提出任何關於兩位領導人涉嫌犯罪的具體證據。 Adding fuel to the fire, the chaotic release has severely damaged public trust. The Department of Justice faced intense backlash after catastrophic redaction failures exposed the identities of numerous victims. Online sleuths quickly discovered that blacked-out text could easily be recovered, revealing sensitive information. This staggering incompetence has led to widespread allegations that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the FBI are deliberately manipulating the narrative. Critics argue that the selective exposure of names proves deep-state operatives are orchestrating a massive, coordinated disinformation campaign. 讓情況雪上加霜的是，這次混亂的文件發布過程已嚴重損害了民眾的信任。美國司法部因災難性的文件塗黑疏失，意外暴露了眾多受害者的身分，進而面臨強烈的輿論反彈。網路鄉民很快就發現，只需簡單操作就能還原被遮蔽的文字，輕易揭開敏感資訊。這種令人錯愕的嚴重失職，導致外界普遍質疑中央情報局和聯邦調查局正刻意在背後帶風向。批評者認為，這種選擇性地揭露部分名字的做法，證明了深層政府的幕後黑手正在策劃一場大規模、有組織的假訊息戰。 President Trump recently addressed the unfolding situation during a highly tense White House press briefing, aggressively pushing back against the mainstream media. When repeatedly pressed by a CNN reporter about the sensitive documents, the president visibly lost his temper. He angrily dismissed the ongoing inquiries as a fabricated witch hunt orchestrated by political enemies, bluntly stating that it was time for the country to move on. Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee has urgently requested the Clintons to testify regarding past associations, guaranteeing more political theater. 川普總統最近在一場氣氛緊繃的白宮新聞記者會上，針對這個不斷延燒的局面做出回應，並強烈反擊主流媒體的報導。當一名 CNN ...

Here is what to know about Asia’s most dangerous weather systems 颱風是一個具有破壞性的風暴。大西洋另一端稱之為「颶風」的颱風，在亞太地區最常於七月到十月間侵襲台灣。 A typhoon is a storm of damaging proportions. Also known as hurricanes across the Atlantic Ocean, the most dangerous weather systems in the Asia-Pacific region are most likely to hit Taiwan from July to October. 然而，熱帶性低氣壓和超級颱風的差別到底是什麼？ But, what’s the difference between tropical depressions and super typhoons? 亞太地區有四種類型的的破壞性暴風。它們與地震不同在於它們一定程度的可預測性。 There are four types of destructive storms in the Asia-Pacific region which, unlike earthquakes, are somewhat predictable. 風速每小時29英理(46公里)以下的稱之為「熱帶性低氣壓」；風速在每小時29英里（46公里）和每小時55.5英里（89公里）之間的稱之為「熱帶風暴」或「熱帶氣旋」。而又稱之為颶風的颱風則是風速在每小時55.5英里（89公里）和每小時114.5英里（183公里）之間的風暴。 The tropical depressions — wind speeds of 29 mph (46 kph) or less; the tropical storms — wind speeds between 29 mph (46 kph) and 55.5 mph (89 kph); and, the typhoons, also known as hurricanes — wind speeds between 55.5 mph (89 kph) and 114.5 mph (183 kph). 超級颱風，相當於第五類風暴，因為其風速超過114.5英里/小時（183公里/小時）。 Super Typhoons, which are equivalent to a category 5 storm, have wind speeds greater than 114.5 mph (183 kph). 除了帶來破壞力強大的巨風外，颱風還能降下難以置信的雨量。由於台灣島的山脈縱貫全島，這些風暴的降雨量有時會在數個月中超過常規降雨量。 In addition to bringing damaging winds, typhoons can drop incredible amounts of rain. Owing to the mountains running the length of the island, these storms can sometimes drop rain in excess months of regular precipitations. 應該準備什麼？｜What should you prepare? 颱風來襲，你應該在家中準備好一個緊急災難包，裡面應當有急救箱和基本藥物。 In case of a typhoon, you should prepare a disaster supplies kit for home, including a first aid kit and essential medications. 台灣災難醫療隊建議民眾備好足夠維持至少一天的食物量、水、電池和其他應急用品。 Disaster preparedness officials recommend that you have enough food, water, batteries, and other emergency supplies to last at least 1 day. 在斷水的情况下，可以考慮到附近的便利商店買可飲用的水和一些泡麵。 In case of water cuts, think of rushing to a convenience store next door to buy some drinkable water and some instant noodles. 還剩下什麼呢？｜What’s more? 記得將電器產品充飽電，多儲備可飲用水和電池，同時也別忘記為車子加好油(以防萬一)。同時，你也可以將家裡的浴缸先裝滿水以備不時之需。 Remember to charge up electronics, secure extra water and batteries, and fill up your car ahead of the weekend. You can also run a bathtub full of water for a large supply of emergency water, in case the water supply is interrupted. 颱風很危險不只因為它們可以造成身體傷害和財產損失；強風還可能擊倒電線和中斷水的供應。 Typhoons are dangerous not only because they can cause bodily injury and damage to property, but strong winds can also knock down power lines and disrupt the water supply. Source article: https://chinapost.nownews.com/20210911-2762480 Next Article Topic: Typhoonless year brings water shortage in fall/winter Most years, Taiwan is hit by typhoons during the summer and fall, but we have yet to see a typhoon this year. This unusual situation has put pressure on water supply levels in reservoirs around Taiwan. 台灣每年夏、秋兩季颱風頻繁，但詭異的是，今年截至目前為止，竟無任何一個颱風登陸台灣，造成水庫缺水問題。 Due to global warming, the typhoons generated in the Pacific Ocean this year have all moved northward, bypassing Taiwan. Although successive fronts and afternoon showers have brought rainfall, it was only fragmented, covering limited areas and did little to replenish reservoirs. As a result, the reservoir storage this year is lower than in previous years. 這是因為全球暖化之影響，...

John老師:「You can learn fast by knowing how not to fail, you succeed faster!找到失誤的點,把失誤都eliminate掉,我們就成功了!成功的方法有好幾百種,但刪掉失誤永遠不敗!」 阿鍵老師:「做起來沒那麼容易!大家多少都意識到這些問題,只是不見得有心力去調整。」 關鍵:必須先自覺!先自覺才知道what to fix, what is the problem, then we will deal with how to fix it! ❌ 錯誤1:Lazy Tongue - 尾音全部不見! 最常見的問題:最後一個音節不發音 經典例子: Help → Hel (沒有p) = Hell(去地獄吧!) Work → Wor (沒有k) Life → Lif (沒有F音) Live → Li (沒有V音) Please → Plea (沒有Z音) John老師:「一個是『幫幫我』,一個是『去地獄吧』!差很多!」 為什麼會這樣? 阿鍵老師:「尾音對華語使用者來說不是中文會用到的講法,我們比較不在意。」 日本人 vs 台灣人: 日本人:補足音節 → Work變成「Wa-ku」(加ku)台灣人:直接omit → 尾音消失V和Z特別容易skip: 台灣人對咬唇音(V)或Z音都會skip、很輕、或不認真發音,這就是Lazy Tongue!解決方法:Shadowing時把它念完整! John老師:「只有read out loud、經歷shadowing exercise時,才會發現『啊!John老師的有V,我的沒有V!我的沒有T,沒有D!』」 ❌ 錯誤2:過去式全部消失 - 沒有ED! 台灣人習慣:全部都是現在式,沒有過去式! 沒有Wanted,只有Want沒有Worked,只有WorkED很麻煩?Lazy就讓它過!為什麼會這樣? John老師解釋:「中文語法影響我們!昨天做的、今天做的、明天做的,我們都會加『昨天』『今天』『明天』,所以習慣性就是『I work yesterday』『I will work tomorrow』,work就是always work!」 阿鍵老師:「我們以前國高中真的會變這樣!」 ED發音有時是eat、有時是id: 所以大家覺得「我懶得think,那我就全部現在式,反正大家聽得懂!」 ❌ 錯誤3:Will vs Going to - 承諾的差異 阿鍵老師問:「日常生活中聽外國人比較少用will,比較常用going to(gonna),這有什麼關係嗎?」 John老師解析:Commitment的差異 I will go to Japan this year: 一個commitment、一個promisePre-planned的東西More certaintyI'm going to Japan this year:不知道什麼時候反正今年有去沒去聽起來沒那麼serious現代人的趨勢:「現在的人不喜歡做太多承諾,不喜歡把話講死!所以用going to就是『反正今年去一下』,沒有那麼committed的感覺!」 ❌ 錯誤4:過度補償 - 把尾音發得超級重! 另一個極端:為了提醒自己發音,把它發得超級重! 經典例子: Work: 正常:Work(k很輕)過度補償:Work-er!(加一個ker,變成k-e-r或k-u-h)Street: 正常:Street(三個子音str連在一起)台灣人:S-uh-treet 或 Stree-t!(把每個子音分開念)Spring: 正常:Spring(spr是同一個音的輔音)台灣人:S-uh-pring!(S獨立出來,加一個U-H或ER)Ask: 國外:Ask(K是輕音)台灣:As-k!(K非常非常重)為什麼會這樣? John老師:「當老師提醒要念出來時,不是叫你把那個音加重,而是『Remember the syllable, don't skip it!』但華語小朋友(大人也會)為了補足,就做過頭了!」 兩個極端都不好: 都沒有(omit)...
