Qingqing: Huahua, don’t forget that we are attending the SEMICON Taiwan 2024 International Semiconductor Exhibition tomorrow and the day after. Let’s meet tomorrow morning at the Nangang Exhibition Center MRT station.
Huahua: Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten. This exhibition, held from Sept. 4 to 6, is the biggest semiconductor event in Taiwan and Asia. Besides the exhibitions, there are also many exciting forums. How could I miss it?
Qingqing: Taiwan holds a significant position in the global semiconductor industry. TSMC is a household name, but our understanding of it might still be incomplete. This is a great opportunity to learn more about it.
Huahua: This year’s theme is about exploring AI: leading the semiconductor and intelligent future, which is so relevant to our times.
Qingqing: I heard there’s a new section specifically introducing the latest trends in electric vehicles, which will show how the automotive industry is accelerating its global market presence.
Huahua: Human technology keeps advancing, and with the rise of AI, the semiconductor industry is bound to see more innovations.
Qingqing: Let’s make the most of this opportunity to learn and network.
Huahua: Absolutely. I’m looking forward to seeing more new technologies and meeting new people at the exhibition tomorrow.

Street lights are often taken for granted until a power outage plunges the world into darkness. When that happens, the value of these lighting installations becomes evident as the world turns into a more dangerous place for pedestrians and motorists alike. The Chinese could claim to be the first to have constructed a crude type of street light. Around 500 BC, residents of Beijing employed a type of street lamp that used hollow bamboo pipes and natural gas vents to create burning torches. Later, ancient Romans adopted lamps fueled by vegetable oil, which relied on slaves to light and

Spoiler alert and shift blame 破梗&甩鍋 在新冠疫情期間，無論是因為封城 (lockdown) 還是居家隔離 (self-isolation at home)，人們關在家中使用網路的時間大增。這也讓一些原本只存在於網路論壇的用語廣為普及。我們來談一下破梗 (spoiler alert) 與甩鍋 (shift blame) 這兩個用語。 有位古典文學教授 Joel Christensen 針對領導統御與疫情控制寫了一篇以古喻今、相當深入的文章：“Plagues follow bad leadership in ancient Greek tales”，文中出現一些講法，可用來翻譯上述的流行語： In the 5th century B.C., the playwright Sophocles begins Oedipus Tyrannos with the title character struggling to identify the cause of a plague striking his city, Thebes. (Spoiler alert: It’s his own bad leadership.) (Joel Christensen, “Plagues follow bad leadership in ancient Greek tales,” The Conversation, March 12, 2020) 作者提到 Oedipus（伊底帕斯）想找出瘟疫何以降臨他的城邦的緣由，加了一句：Spoiler alert: It’s his own bad leadership.（破梗：領導無方）。Spoiler alert 就是「破梗」，如果用在有人洩漏電影劇情的情境中，也可以翻作「小心爆雷」或「劇透警告」。疫情之下，在家看影集、電影成了很多人的娛樂，但要小心劇透 (spoilers)，很多 YouTube 上的影評在開頭也都會說 Spoiler alert!，警告還沒看過電影的觀眾小心爆雷、劇透。 至於「甩鍋」，源自大陸網民用語，通常意指某人犯了錯之後想推卸責任、轉移焦點、甚至讓別人背黑鍋的做法。疫情爆發後，相關網路資訊量爆增，許多中國網民也想找人為這場疫情負責，紛紛呼籲地方政府首長、地方黨書記不要「甩鍋」。 其實，在古代文學《奧德賽》中，就有「將自己的責任怪罪眾神」的說法，試用時下流行的「甩鍋」來重新翻譯： Humans are always blaming the gods for their suffering, but they experience
