翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: My brother just messaged me saying he’s going to Dajia Riverside Park in Taipei this weekend to attend the S2O Taiwan Songkran Music Festival. He and his friends bought their tickets a while ago but didn’t tell me. How despicable of him!
Huahua: He managed to get tickets? That event is super popular among young people. It’s impressive he got them.
Qingqing: I’m still young too! This event, which combines Thailand’s Songkran festival with a major music party, is definitely worth attending.
Huahua: Your brother wasn’t very considerate not inviting you. But you can’t entirely blame him if you didn’t keep an eye on the event yourself.
Qingqing: True. There are a lot of international stars performing this year, from the US, Europe, South Korea, and even Taiwan. The atmosphere will be incredible.
Huahua: Just wait until your brother comes back and brags about it. Don’t be too jealous. It’s your fault for not paying attention.
Qingqing: I won’t stoop to his level. Besides, I don’t want to get all wet. I just hope he doesn’t catch a cold. Hmph.
Huahua: You’re unbelievable! So stubborn. Alright, calm down. Let’s go get something to eat.

In an effort to fight phone scams, British mobile phone company O2 has introduced Daisy, an AI designed to engage phone con artists in time-wasting conversations. Daisy is portrayed as a kindly British granny, exploiting scammers’ tendency to target the elderly. Her voice, based on a real grandmother’s for authenticity, adds to her credibility in the role. “O2” has distributed several dedicated phone numbers online to direct scammers to Daisy instead of actual customers. When Daisy receives a call, she translates the scammers’ spoken words into text and then responds to them accordingly through a text-to-speech system. Remarkably, Daisy
Bilingual Story is a fictionalized account. 雙語故事部分內容純屬虛構。 Emma had reviewed 41 resumes that morning. While the ATS screened out 288 unqualified, she screened for AI slop. She could spot it a mile away. She muttered AI buzzwords like curses under her breath. “Team player.” “Results-driven.” “Stakeholder alignment.” “Leveraging core competencies.” Each resume reeked of AI modeling: a cemetery of cliches, tombstones of personality. AI wasn’t just changing hiring. It was draining the humanity from it. Then she found it: a plain PDF cover letter. No template. No design flourishes. The first line read: “I once tried to automate my
Every May 1, Hawaii comes alive with Lei Day, a festival celebrating the rich culture and spirit of the islands. Initiated in 1927 by the poet Don Blanding, Lei Day began as a tribute to the Hawaiian custom of making and wearing leis. The idea was quickly adopted and officially recognized as a holiday in 1929, and leis have since become a symbol of local pride and cultural preservation. In Hawaiian culture, leis are more than decorative garlands made from flowers, shells or feathers. For Hawaiians, giving a lei is as natural as saying “aloha.” It shows love and
