第一則：軍人待遇修法通過 志願役月薪加三萬
立法院於6月10日三讀通過《軍人待遇條例》修正案，預計明年起志願役軍人每月加薪3萬元，並新增戰鬥部隊加給。此外，義務役待遇也不得低於法定最低工資。
雖有反對齊頭式加薪的聲音，此提案仍以些微優勢通過。行政院長卓榮泰批評此修法違反預算法，大幅增加中央歲出，應向行政院徵詢，並強調將提出救濟。
Amendments to the Pay Act of the Armed Forces Passed: Volunteer Soldiers to Get Extra NT$30,000 Monthly
On June 10, the Legislative Yuan approved changes to the Pay Act of the Armed Forces in a third reading. Starting next year, volunteer soldiers will receive an additional NT$30,000 monthly, along with new allowances for combat units. The pay for conscripted soldiers will also not be lower than the minimum wage.
Although some opposed the equal pay raise, the proposal was passed by a small margin. Premier Cho Jung-tai criticized the changes, saying they break the Budget Act by significantly increasing government spending without consulting the Executive Yuan, and stated that legal remedies will be sought.
第二則：高雄30天停電7次 怨聲四起
高雄近日頻頻停電，旗津地區6月9日上午因設備故障，導致八千多戶停電。同日清晨，火車站周邊又因地下電纜故障，造成三百多戶停電，許多居民被熱醒，怨聲四起。
立委指出，高雄5月9日至6月9日已有7次停電，質疑台電供電穩定性。台電表示，近期停電皆為設備問題，將持續汰換老舊設備，提升供電可靠度。
Kaohsiung Faces 7 Power Outages in 30 Days, Residents Complain
Kaohsiung has had frequent power outages recently. On June 9, equipment failure caused over 8,000 households in the Qijin area to lose power. That same morning, underground cable problems near the train station caused over 300 households to lose electricity, leaving many residents waking up in the heat and feeling upset.
Legislators said Kaohsiung had seven power outages from May 9 to June 9 and questioned if Taiwan Power’s service is reliable. Taiwan Power said the outages were caused by old equipment and promised to keep replacing it to make the power supply more stable.
第三則：2028無煤中火 台電：200億度電力缺口要分擔
立法院近期通過「2028 無煤中火」提案，但台電指出，台中市2028年用電量預估達400億度。若貿然提前實施「無煤中火」，將造成超過200億度電力缺口，影響供電穩定。
台電表示，台中電廠自2019年起發電量已無法滿足需求，是透過苗栗及高雄等地新增燃氣機組支援減煤。台電承諾將自2032年起每年再減煤300萬噸以上，並於2034年底前達成無煤化。
No Coal at Taichung Power Plant by 2028: Taipower Says Power Shortage of 20 Billion kWh Needs to Be Shared
The Legislative Yuan recently passed the proposal to stop using coal at the Taichung Power Plant by 2028. However, Taipower said that Taichung’s electricity demand is expected to reach 40 billion kWh by 2028. If coal use at the plant stops too early, it could cause a power shortage of over 20 billion kWh, affecting stable electricity supply.
Taipower explained that since 2019, the Taichung Power Plant has not been able to meet electricity demand. New natural gas units in Miaoli and Kaohsiung have been helping to reduce coal use. Taipower promised to cut coal use by 3 million tons per year starting in 2032 and stop using coal completely by the end of 2034.
第四則：AI時代下的職場：什麼才是核心能力？
隨著AI時代來臨，技術能力不再是唯一關鍵。阿姆斯特丹大學副教授Jeroen Kraaijenbrink指出，到了2030年，最重要的職場技能包括分析性和創造性思維、韌性、領導力與終身學習。
未來，科技素養與數據應用將更受重視，而傳統體能或基礎技能的重要性將逐漸下降。個人需保持好奇心、持續學習，企業則應投資人才，打造學習型組織，才能在不斷改變的職場中生存下來。
The Workplace in the AI Era: What Are the Key Skills?
In the AI era, technical skills are no longer the only focus. Jeroen Kraaijenbrink, an associate professor at the University of Amsterdam, says that by 2030, the most important workplace skills will be analytical thinking, creative thinking, resilience, leadership, and lifelong learning.
Technology skills and data use will become more important, while traditional physical or basic skills will matter less. Individuals should stay curious and keep learning, while companies need to invest in people and create learning environments to adapt to the changing workplace.
第五則：晚上洗澡也不夠衛生？床單清潔才是關鍵
許多人認為晚上洗澡是保持衛生的關鍵，但專家指出，真正影響清潔與健康的關鍵其實是床單。皮膚科醫師維吉表示，人每天平均脫落1.5公克皮膚細胞，若床單不乾淨，容易滋生塵蟎，導致皮膚發炎、過敏及氣喘問題。他建議每1至2週更換床單，並用熱水清洗殺菌，並讓床單充分晾乾，以確保最佳衛生狀態。
Is Showering at Night Enough for Hygiene? Keeping Bedsheets Clean Is the Key
Many people think showering at night is the best way to stay clean, but experts say the real key to hygiene is clean bedsheets. Dermatologist Dr. Vij says that people shed about 1.5 grams of skin cells every day. If bedsheets are dirty, they can attract dust mites, which may cause skin problems, allergies, and asthma. He suggests changing bedsheets every 1 to 2 weeks, washing them with hot water to kill germs, and making sure they are fully dried to maintain hygiene.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
The Legislative Yuan approved a reform to increase volunteer soldiers’ pay by NT$30,000 monthly, effective next year, despite criticisms about increased government spending.
Kaohsiung had seven power outages in one month, and Taiwan Power is working to fix old equipment and improve the power supply.
The Legislative Yuan’s decision to eliminate coal use at Taichung Power Plant by 2028 may lead to a significant power shortage, requiring national grid cooperation.
In the AI-driven future, essential workplace skills will include analytical and creative thinking, resilience, leadership, and lifelong learning, beyond just technical expertise.
Clean bedsheets are key to staying healthy, as dirty ones can cause skin and breathing problems. Wash them every 1–2 weeks.
In the next episode, we will together explore the recent hot news with you in the morning. Don’t forget to come back. Have a nice day and hear me next time. Bye!
