John老師笑說:「台灣人都聽得懂,國外的人沒有一個人聽得懂!」 📱 AI工具發音大解密 1. Gemini (Google) ❌ 錯誤: The Mini、Gemini(念成「吉米奈」) ✅ 正確: Gemini (念「傑米奈」) 重點解說: Gemini = 雙子星座這是希臘文/拉丁文,不完全是英文後面的"ni"不是"ne",所以不念成"奶"參考電影:Will Smith主演的《雙子殺手》就叫Gemini阿鍵老師說:「我以前也念mini,因為那個ni後面如果再加個ne才會變成奶!」 John老師補充:「下次我們可以來做一個星座怎麼念的特輯!」 2. Claude (Anthropic/Amazon) ❌ 錯誤: Cloud(克勞德) ✅ 正確: Claude (克勞德) 重點解說: 不是Final Fantasy的Cloud(雲)!拼法是C-L-A-U-D-EAU發音成"aw",所以是Claude美國和英國對AU/OU的發音會有點不同John老師的Final Fantasy梗:「大家都覺得克勞德多帥啊!結果不好意思那是C-L-O-U-D,那個是雲喔!」😂 3. ChatGPT (OpenAI) ❌ 錯誤: GTP、Chat GTP ✅ 正確: ChatGPT 重點解說: 很多人會把P和T互換有些人念成"GTP"(尤其老一輩)GPT = Generative Pre-trained Transformer現在很多人直接簡稱"GPT"John老師說:「Reddit上面很多人都亂打,你就知道是老一輩的,那個P跟T兩個互換!」 小知識: 現在OpenAI推出SORA等新產品,慢慢不再強調GPT這個名字了。 4. DeepSeek (中國) ❌ 錯誤: Deep Seek(念得太重) ✅ 正確: DeepSeek (輕鬆念就好) 重點解說: 不用念得那麼重"p"甚至可以輕輕帶過就是Deep + Seek兩個字John老師笑說:「台灣都念得比較重,那個有點像日本人P跟K會跑出來!」 5. Copilot (Microsoft) ❌ 錯誤: Copilot、Copiloto(受日文影響) ✅ 正確: Copilot 重點解說: 就像Costco vs Costco的分別Co = 副、第二順位(如co-host副主持人)Pilot = 飛行員,Copilot = 副駕駛O的音要把嘴型變成O型台灣陷阱: 因為日本文具品牌Pilot(百樂/飛龍)的廣告很常見,很容易受影響念成"Copiloto"! 6. Perplexity ❌ 錯誤: Perpecity(L不見了)、其他各種亂念 ✅ 正確: Perplexity 重點解說: 這個字真的很長很難念每個音節都要念出來:per-plex-i-ty如果平常有做跟讀,應該念得出來Reddit上很多人直接簡稱"PP"或"PPAI"John老師分享:「我老婆很愛用這個搜尋,可是她叫perpecity,她那個L不見了,嘴巴沒有張開!」😂 7. Grok (xAI/Elon Musk) ❌ 錯誤: Grock ✅ 正確: Grok 重點解說: 又是Costco vs Costco的問題O要念成O型,不是A想成Gro+k = Grok目前最短的AI工具名字,只有4個字母John老師說:「有點像青蛙在叫!」😂 阿鍵老師補充:「Grok的限制最少,可以用色色模式,Elon Musk自己要求的!」 特色: 繪圖功能叫"Imagine",美國人很愛用。 8. Monica ❌ 錯誤: Monica(莫尼卡,中文諧音) ✅ 正確: Monica (摸妮卡) 重點解說: Monday的那個Mon台灣最早期ChatGPT的網頁版工具很多台灣人用中文諧音念成"莫尼卡"如果遇到叫Monica的人會很尷尬!參考: 《六人行》(Friends)裡面有個角色叫Monica,他們不會叫她"莫尼卡"! 💡 為什麼發音很重要? John老師強調:「主要是你跟外國人講的時候,希望他們聽得懂你在幹嘛、你在講什麼!」 重點不是當正音魔人,而是: 能夠有效溝通避免尷尬誤會展現專業度跟國際接軌 🎯 台灣人的發音特色 觀察1: 喜歡簡化或諧音 Threads → 脆Gemini → The MiniMonica → 莫尼卡觀察2: 受其他語言影響 受日文影響:Copilot → Copiloto受遊戲影響:Claude → Cloud觀察3: 字母順序會搞混 ChatGPT → GTPPerplexity → 漏掉L 結論: 這都是正常現象!重點是知道正確發音,在需要時能正確使用。 🎁 別忘了參加抽獎! 記得填寫學習故事問卷,就有機會獲得15Mins品牌周邊(共10份)! 如何參加: 使用資訊欄的連結填寫問卷分享你的學習歷程和收穫提出你的問題(老師會在節目中回答!) 💬 你還用哪些AI工具?

L096: Super Typhoon Strikes Philippines, Million Evacuate Highlights 主題摘要 Typhoon Fung-wong hit Aurora province with winds reaching 185 km/h, forcing over 900,000 residents to evacuate.The storm arrived days after Typhoon Kalmaegi killed nearly 200 people and suspended rescue operations nationwide.Scientists warn that warming oceans could make future storms more intense for vulnerable nations like the Philippines. Typhoon Fung-wong slammed into the Philippines' Aurora province on Sunday evening as a super typhoon, bringing destructive winds and life-threatening conditions to the country's most populous island. The storm's eye hit Luzon at 9:10 PM local time with sustained winds of 185 kilometers per hour and gusts reaching 230 kilometers per hour. By early Monday morning, the typhoon had weakened slightly but remained dangerous as it traveled westward across the island, prompting meteorological services to issue urgent warnings about storm surges and flooding. 颱風鳳凰週日晚間以超級颱風強度猛烈襲擊菲律賓奧羅拉省,為該國人口最密集的島嶼帶來毀滅性強風與致命威脅。暴風眼於當地時間晚間9點10分登陸呂宋島,持續風速達每小時185公里,陣風更高達每小時230公里。到了週一清晨,颱風雖稍微減弱,但在橫掃島嶼西移過程中仍具危險性,氣象單位發布海嘯與洪災的緊急警報。 The disaster comes merely days after Typhoon Kalmaegi tore through the same regions, killing over 200 people and leaving more than 100 missing. Heavy rainfall from that earlier storm sent torrents of mud cascading down hillsides into residential neighborhoods, with some poorer communities completely obliterated by fast-moving flash floods. Civil aviation authorities closed multiple airports and cancelled nearly 300 flights as Fung-wong approached. Two fatalities have been confirmed so far, including a drowning victim and a woman trapped under debris in Catbalogan City. 這場災難距離颱風海鷗橫掃同一地區僅數日之隔,該次風災造成超過200人死亡、100多人失蹤。先前那場暴雨引發大量泥流從山坡沖刷而下,淹入住宅區,部分貧困社區完全遭到快速移動的山洪滅村。隨著鳳凰颱風逼近,民航當局關閉多座機場,取消近300架次航班。目前已確認兩起死亡案例,包括一名溺水罹難者和一名在卡巴洛甘市遭瓦礫掩埋的婦女。 At evacuation shelters across central Aurora, families huddled together with young children too small to remember Typhoon Haiyan, which claimed over 6,000 lives in 2013. Jessa Zurbano, sheltering at a sports center with her family, expressed deep worry about the storm's strength and her children's safety. Another evacuee, Patry Azul, explained that her wooden house near the coastline felt unsafe during such extreme weather. Hotel worker Hagunoy stayed behind at his beachside workplace as long as possible, watching staff secure gates and tie windows with rope before eventually fleeing on his motorbike. 在奧羅拉中部的避難所裡,一個個家庭帶著年幼孩童聚集避難,這些孩子還太小,不記得2013年奪走6千多條人命的海燕颱風。在體育中心避難的潔莎·祖爾巴諾與家人表示,她對風暴威力深感憂慮,更擔心孩子們的安全。另一位避災民眾派翠·阿祖爾解釋,她家是靠海的木造房屋,在這種極端天氣下實在不安全。海濱旅館員工哈古諾伊盡可能留守工作崗位,看著同事們用繩索綁緊窗戶、加固大門,最後才騎機車逃離。 The Philippines faces approximately 20 tropical cyclones annually due to its location near Pacific storm formation zones, making it one of the world's most vulnerable nations to such disasters. While climate change may not increase the overall number of typhoons globally, scientists emphasize that warmer oceans create conditions for more intense storms. The combination of rising sea temperatures and a warmer atmosphere can generate higher wind speeds, heavier rainfall, and greater coastal flooding risks, posing escalating threats to countries like the Philippines that already endure frequent devastating weather events. 菲律賓因位於太平洋風暴形成區域附近,每年面臨約20個熱帶氣旋侵襲,使其成為全球最易遭受此類災害的國家之一。雖然氣候變遷未必會增加全球颱風總數,但科學家強調,海洋暖化會爲更強烈的風暴創造形成的條件。海水溫度上升與大氣層變暖的結合,可能產生更高風速、更強降雨量和更嚴重的沿海洪災風險,對菲律賓這類已經頻繁遭受毀滅性天氣事件的國家構成日益嚴峻的威脅。 Keyword Drills 關鍵字 Gust [noun, a sudden strong rush of wind]: The storm's eye hit Luzon at 9:10 PM local time with sustained winds of 185 kilometers per hour and gusts reaching 230 kilometers per hour.Cascade [verb, to pour downward rapidly in large quantities]: Heavy rainfall from that earlier storm sent torrents of mud cascading down hillsides into residential neighborhoods.Evacuee [noun, a person who has been moved from a dangerous place to somewhere safe]: Another evacuee, Patry Azul, explained that her wooden house near the coastline felt unsafe during such extreme weather.Annually [adverb, once every year or each year]: The Philippines faces approximately 20 tropical cyclones annually due to its location near Pacific storm formation zones.Generate [verb, to produce or create something]: The combination of rising sea temperatures and a warmer atmosphere can generate higher wind speeds, heavier rainfall, and greater coastal flooding risks.

Is Africa's cultural heritage better off in Europe or in Africa? 非洲的文化遺產存放在歐洲或非洲,何者比較好呢? That is the question at the heart of a yearslong debate that has gripped museums in Europe, where many officials say they support the idea of repatriating artifacts, but worry that African museums cannot compare to state-of-the-art facilities in Britain, France or Germany. 這正是歐洲博物館界討論多年的問題的核心,許多歐洲博物館的管理階層表示,他們贊成應把文物送回非洲的想法,卻又擔心非洲各地博物館不具備英、法或德國那些先進博物館的的條件。 That debate has been given new life in recent months after an investigation by the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper found that many of the artifacts that will be on display in the Humboldt Forum, a huge new museum under construction in a rebuilt Berlin palace, had for years been stored in less-than-ideal conditions. The report featured searing depictions of flooded storage rooms and depots choked with toxic dust. 最近幾個月,這場討論再度熱絡起來,因為南德意志報調查後發現,預定在「洪堡論壇」展出的文物之中,許多已存放在不盡理想的環境下多年。洪堡論壇是興建中規模宏大的新博物館,將位在柏林一座重建的宮殿內。這篇報導對那些文物的存放室淹水,庫房覆滿有毒灰塵,作了特別尖刻地描述。 The Humboldt Forum will bring together the collections of several existing museums in the city under one roof, but reports in German news media have focused on the storage facilities of the Ethnological Museum of Berlin, which will be the Forum's largest single contributor. 洪堡論壇將把柏林幾座現有博物館的藏品集中在一起,不過德國新聞媒體的報導著重在柏林民族學博物館的庫房。這座博物館將是洪堡論壇展品的最大提供者。 Officials at the museum, which closed to the public in 2017 to prepare for the move to its new home, have responded with what observers call an unusual degree of openness. 民族學博物館2017年起停止對外開放,好準備搬新家。館方回應外界質疑的態度十分開放透明,開放程度之高觀察家以異乎尋常形容。 They have denied some of the reports, in particular the claim of flooded storerooms, but said their depots were beset with problems common to museums across Germany. Those included outdated facilities, a lack of staff members, and a sense of disarray that dates to moments of crisis in German history. 館方否認報導中的某些部分,尤其是庫房淹水,不過他們說,倉庫發生的問題在德國各地博物館都很常見,包括設施陳舊、人手不足和擺放方式雜亂,這些問題從德國歷史上那些動盪時期以來就一直存在。 Despite all that, they steadfastly rejected that those conditions might call into question their stewardship of the artifacts, many of which were collected during the era of European imperialism. 雖然倉庫有這些問題,但館方堅決否認這些問題意味著管理不善。倉庫內許多文物是在歐洲帝國主義時期收集而來。 Sindika Dokolo, a Congolese art collector who runs a foundation that has organized the return of artifacts to Congo and Angola, said it was true that "a whole generation" of museum professionals, like curators and conservationists, needed to be trained "in most of the African countries." But while that new generation was being trained, he said, it is European museums' responsibility to make sure African audiences had access to the artifacts in their possession. 剛果藝品收藏家多克洛管理一個基金會,在這個基金會安排下已有一些文物送回剛果和安哥拉。多克洛說,「多數非洲國家」的確有必要訓練「一整個世代的」博物館專業人員,如策展人和文物修復師。不過他說,在非洲訓練這個新世代的同時,歐洲博物館有責任確保非洲的文物愛好者能看到歐洲握有的非洲文物。 It is up to them to create the conditions that would let African artifacts "play their role where they need to be right now, in Africa," he added. 多克洛說,歐洲博物館有責任創造條件,讓非洲文物「在非洲當下需要的地方發揮作用」。 Source article: https://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POH0067/345221/web/ Next Article Topic: Neanderthal genes found for first time in African populations African populations have been revealed to share Neanderthal ancestry for the first time, in findings that add a new twist to the tale of ancient humans and our closest known relatives. 非洲的人類族群首度被科學家揭露帶有尼安德塔人的血統。這項發現為古代人類和尼安德塔人──與我們血緣最相近的親戚物種──之間的故事,帶來新的轉折。 Previously it was believed that only non-African populations carried Neanderthal genes due to interbreeding that took place after a major human migration out of Africa and across the globe about 60,000 years ago. The latest findings suggest human and Neanderthal lineages are more closely intertwined than once thought and point to far earlier interbreeding events, about 200,000 years ago. 先前,學界普遍認為只有非洲以外的族群帶有尼安德塔人的基因,這是因為人類大約在六萬年前發生過一次大型的「源出非洲」遷徙,散播到全球各地,而後與尼安德塔人異種交配。最新的研究結果顯示,人類和尼安德塔人的譜系比科學家先前認為的還要緊密相繫,並且指向更早以前──大約在二十萬年前──就出現過異種交配。 "Our results show this history was much more interesting and there were many waves of dispersal out of Africa, some of which led to admixture between modern humans and Neanderthals that we see in the genomes of all living individuals today," said Joshua Akey, an evolutionary biologist at Princeton University and senior author of the research. 普林斯頓大學的演化生物學家、也是該篇研究的資深作者約書亞‧阿奇表示:「我們研究的結果顯示,這段歷史其實更為有趣。其實歷史上曾經發生過好幾波源出非洲的向外擴散,其中幾次造成現代人類與尼安德塔人混血,也就是我們今日在所有現代人類個體的基因組中所看到的現象。」 The study suggests living Europeans and Asians carry about 1 percent Neanderthal DNA, compared with on average 0.3 percent for those of African ancestry. Akey and colleagues believe that this Neanderthal DNA arrived in Africa with ancient Europeans whose ancestors — over many generations — had left Africa, met and mated with Neanderthals and then returned to Africa and mixed with local populations. 這份研究指出,相較於祖先來自非洲的現代人,身上平均帶有百分之零點三的尼安德塔DNA,現代歐洲人和亞洲人則帶有百分之一的尼安德塔DNA。阿奇和他的同事認為,這個尼安德塔DNA和古老的歐洲人一起抵達非洲,而這些歐洲人的祖先──在好幾個世代以前──從非洲離開,遇到尼安德塔人,並與他們交配,然後回到非洲,再與當地人口混血。 "An important aspect of our study is that it highlights humans, and hominins, were moving in and out of Africa for hundreds of thousands of years and occasionally admixing," said Akey. "These back-to-Africa migrations, largely from ancestors of contemporary Europeans, carried Neanderthal sequences with them, and through admixture, contributed to the Neanderthal ancestry we detect in African individuals today." 阿奇指出:「我們的研究其中一項重要的層面在於,它點出人類,以及其他古代人類亞族,在數十萬年間不斷地移入移出非洲,並且偶爾發生混血的情形。」他補充說:「這些回到非洲的移民,主要來自於當代歐洲人的祖先,他們身上帶有尼安德塔人的基因序列,並且經由混血,導致我們今日在非洲人身上探測到的尼安德塔血統。」 The increasingly fine-grained details of our ancestors' migration patterns and intimate encounters with other types of human are coming into focus thanks to the advent of sophisticated computational genetics techniques. These statistical methods allow scientists to line up the Neanderthal genome side by side with that of ancient modern humans and DNA from different living populations and figure out whether the different lineages have been steadily diverging or whether there are blips where large chunks of DNA were exchanged at certain time points. 多虧了精密電腦計算基因學技術的來臨,關於我們祖先的遷徙模式,以及與其他人種的親密接觸,愈來愈細緻的細節逐漸變得清晰。這些統計學方法讓科學家能夠將尼安德塔人和古現代人的基因組並列,進行對比,也能夠對照今日不同人類族群的DNA,判斷這些相異的譜系是否一直持續產生分歧,又或者是否有跡象顯示某些時間點曾經出現大塊的DNA交換。 The latest comparison highlights previously unnoticed ancient human genes in the Neanderthal genome, apparently acquired from interbreeding events dating to about 200,000 years ago. This suggests an early group of humans travelled from Africa to Europe

John老師說:「這兩個大家務必一定要做!Turns your passive learning into active learning!」 為什麼這麼重要? 口腔肌肉記憶(Muscle Memory)聽到自己的發音訓練造句能力(Sentence Construction)讓大腦習慣「我現在要講英文了」實用建議: 不要一次shadowing整篇文章一個paragraph一個paragraph來甚至一行一行慢慢跟讀不要害怕自言自語的感覺! 2. 5W1H 反思法 讀完文章後,用英文問自己: Who - 這篇文章的主角是誰?What - 在討論什麼?When - 什麼時候發生的?Where - 在哪裡?Why - 為什麼人們生氣?為什麼道瓊下跌?How - 市場如何復甦?John老師說:「如果你用英文思考這些問題,you are already practicing it! You are already actively reflecting on the article!」 3. 清單整理法 阿鍵老師提醒:「大家如果有印象,我們在Teachers Lounge介紹過checking list和categorizing list。」 兩種清單: Checking List: 檢查自己學到什麼Categorizing List: 把學到的東西分類這些方法讓你主動介入學習過程,從單向接收變成主動篩選和分類! 4. 寫Summary做筆記 聽完國際時事跟讀或English Cafe後,試著: 寫三行五行的summary記錄自己的opinion做reflection**沒有人也可以自己做!**這就是active learning。 5. 分享與討論 有外國同事? 超方便!每天的國際時事跟讀都可以拿來聊天。 沒有外國同事? 幾個選擇: 💬 用ChatGPT練習對話(免費版約2分鐘,付費版約10分鐘)👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 找家人小孩當練習對象📧 寫email給15Mins團隊💭 在通勤家族community留言互動 🎯 從被動到主動的完整路徑 階段1:無痛開始(被動學習) 看劇、聽歌、聽Podcast建立沉浸習慣保留率:5-30%階段2:加入反思(半主動) Reading out loud基礎shadowing5W1H自問自答保留率:提升到30-50%階段3:實際操作(主動學習) 完整shadowing寫summary做筆記Small talk練習保留率:50-75%階段4:分享教學(最高效) Discussion groups分享給朋友家人教導他人保留率:75-90% 🚀 超越考試框架的真實能力 John老師最後說:「當你做到這些,你就會發現你的英語根本不需要在意什麼多益990、金色證書、雅思Band 7.5這種很學術、很考試性的界定。你就跳脫了!因為你就可以跟真正的母語人士溝通了!」 這才是學英文的終極目標: 不是為了考試分數不是為了證書顏色而是為了真實的溝通能力 💡 給通勤家族的行動指南 本週開始實踐: ✅ 每天聽完15Mins後 至少跟讀一個重點句子用5W1H問自己問題寫3-5行summary✅ 找一個練習對象 家人、朋友、同事都可以沒有人就用ChatGPT或在通勤家族留言互動✅ 設定小目標 本週shadowing 3次分享1個學到的內容給朋友寫1次英文summary 記住:Baby steps! 從最基礎的reading out loud開始,慢慢進階到shadowing,再到discussion和sharing。 阿鍵老師提醒:「我們的幕後教師室也有整理每一次的Learning Tips,包括List的部分、增強Motivation的方法,都可以混合今天的學習金字塔,讓自己學起來更自然、更無痛!」
