A: Excuse me, I’ve lost my EasyCard. I think I left it on the train. Now I can’t swipe out of the station.
C: Would you like to pay the excess fare?
A: I also have an iPass card, can I use this to pay the exit fare?

C: You can, but you won’t be able to get a refund on the initial fare.
A: That’s fine. We’re a bit pushed for time. I’ll worry about that after I get out of the station.
C: OK, it’s done. You still have NT$72 left on your iPass card.
A: Thank you! Oh, one more thing… If I did leave the card on the train, how can I go about getting it back? It’s a credit card linked to my EasyCard, and will top-up automatically, so I’m in trouble if someone else uses it.
C: I’ll give you this form. It has the customer service number of the Metro Lost and Found on it. Give them a call in a while and ask them if anyone has handed it in.
A: 不好意思，我的悠遊卡不見了，可能掉在車上，所以沒辦法刷卡出站。
C: 那你要補票嗎？
A: 我這邊另外有一張一卡通，可以用這張再刷一次扣款嗎？
C: 可以，可是重複扣的車資沒辦法退還喔！
A: 沒關係，我們趕時間，先趕快出站再說。
C: 處理好了，這張一卡通餘額還有七十二元。
A: 謝謝！那再請問，我那張卡片如果是掉在車上，要怎麼找回來？那是悠遊卡聯名的信用卡，可以自動加值，所以如果被別人拿去用就慘了！
C: 這張單子給你，上面有捷運遺失物中心的服務電話，你待會可以打電話問有沒有人撿到送去。

Following the huge success of the last two seasons, online video platform iQiyi recently launched Season 3 of its boyband reality show “Youth with You.” The new season is hosted by singer Chris Lee, while Li Ronghao, Will Pan and Lisa of K-pop group BlackPink serve as vocal, rap and dance mentors for the 119 trainees. The top nine standouts among the contestants are set to form a boyband. Unlike previous seasons, however, iQiyi has recruited different types of trainees to increase the diversity of talent on the show, including the members of Produce Pandas, a five-piece “plus-sized” band.

B: Where are we meeting the rest of the hiking group? A: The guide will pick us up in Kaohsiung and drive us to the trailhead. There’ll be five of us going. We’re thinking of hiring a car. B: Good idea. If we split the car rental fee between us it will end up much cheaper than five HSR return tickets. And we can leave a change of clothes in the car for after the hike. A: My friend has volunteered to drive. She has one request, though. B: What’s that? A: That we all have a shower before we get in the car
Following a successful test flight on Tuesday, the indigenous advanced jet trainer (AJT) — the test-case for the government’s aspiration to build a self-sustaining domestic defense industry — continues to fly through project milestones with ease, and will soon enter the operational test phase. Aerospace Industrial Development Corp (AIDC) chairman Hu Kai-hung, who is former deputy chief of the military’s general staff, got back behind the controls on Tuesday to co-pilot the original AJT prototype, also known as Yung Ying or “Brave Eagle.” Hu told reporters that development, testing and evaluation work on the aircraft is proceeding smoothly and that
