    火星旅遊不是夢 星艦推進器自動歸位 太空發展新頁

    以往衛星上了太空，火箭推進器往往在返回大氣層過程中燃燒墜毀，不僅增加安全風險，也讓發射成本居高不下。SpaceX此次進行的星艦試射，不僅成功回收推進器，更是完成讓其『自動歸位』的不可能任務。不僅寫下人類太空計畫新頁，節省近億美元成本，也讓許多人樂觀預期，有去有回的太空旅行將不再是夢想。 ** SpaceX’s successful rocket landing boosts hopes for travel to Mars** The biggest and most powerful rocket ever built took to the skies again. And this time, it came back. SpaceX launched its 400-foot-tall (122 meters) Starship vehicle for the fifth time ever today (Oct. 13), sending the giant rocket aloft from its Starbase site in South Texas at 8:25 am. Starship is seen by many as the best option for interplanetary travel between Earth and Mars and being able to reuse components, such as the boosters, is essential for this to occur. And that's exactly what happened. About seven minutes after liftoff, SpaceX executed what appeared to be a bull's-eye landing, hovering near the launch tower as the tower captured it with the "chopstick" arms in a bold and unprecedented maneuver. 參考原文： https://www.space.com/spacex-starship-flight-5-launch-super-heavy-booster-catch-success-video https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/10/13/spacex-successful-rocket-landing-boosts-hopes-travel-mars/ 重要單字： boost 推動 booster 推進器 launch 發射 vehicle 交通工具 giant 巨人、巨大的 option 選項 interplanetary 星際間的 component 成分、元件 essential 必要的 liftoff 升空 bull-eye 靶心 hover 盤旋 chopstick 筷子 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

    【S2E5】名團開唱黃牛票叫價30萬台幣? 律師：人神共憤已提告

    黃牛/秒殺的英文怎麼說？透過酷玩開唱的消息一起來學！ 相隔8年酷玩樂團重回印度開唱，幾分鐘之內票就『秒殺』之外，還立刻出現在拍賣網站上叫價1.1萬美元。一位身為粉絲的律師，憤而提吿 Coldplay tickets for $11,000? Uproar in India after tickets sold out in minutes and resold for outrageously high prices Fans eagerly awaiting the return of Coldplay to India were shocked to find tickets being resold online for as much as $11,000, prompting police to seek a statement from the CEO of the shows’ vendor over allegations of fraud. Tickets were scheduled to go on sale by the official vendor, BookMyShow (BMS), at 12 p.m. local time on September 22. But for many users, the website and app crashed amid the demand. Within minutes, the tickets were sold out and reappeared on other platforms for as much as 960,000 rupees ($11,458), sparking anger over the purchase process and the suspected use of bots to scoop up seats. Amit Vyas, a lawyer and founding partner of Mumbai law firm Vertices Partners, filed a complaint with police, alleging the online ticketing platform made tickets available to scalpers and third-party websites for resale on the black market. outrageous 令人生氣的 eager 急切的 prompt 引發、致使 allegation 指控 (allege 是動詞) vendor 商人 crash 當機、墜毀 suspected 疑似的 bot 機器人 scoop up 快速搶奪 scalper 黃牛 原文網址Ｌhttps://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/01/asia/coldplay-concert-ticket-india-scalping-intl-hnk/index.html -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

    S2 E2 全球股市坐雲霄飛車 美國衰退?AI泡沫將炸?

    這兩天全球股市雲霄飛車，把大家嚇壞了。也有人提出『薩姆定律』，言之鑿鑿的說美國經濟衰退可能不遠，AI泡沫將炸。我看到多數美國英文報導，認為衰退不至於、AI就算回檔，也不至於重演網路泡沫化的慘況。但認為近期還是保守為上。也藉由這個機會選一篇，新聞英文一定會需要知道的財經內容，以後可以直接看原文，多一個投資股市的資訊管道。 Fears of a US recession have gripped global markets, triggering a share market rout that prompted investors across Asia, Europe and North America to all unwind their positions – at the same time. The volatile conditions erupted after the US Federal Reserve hinted after its 31 July meeting that interest rates would soon be cut, in what was initially seen as a stimulus for shares. But the gains quickly evaporated as investors reinterpreted the impending rate cuts as a sign the world’s biggest economy was faltering. Several pieces of economic data, including manufacturing, durable goods and – crucially – jobs and payroll data, raised questions over the health of the US economy, with the well-regarded “Sahm Rule” signaling a recession. This indicator, which is triggered when there is a rapid rise in the unemployment rate, has correctly identified every recession since the second world war. recession 衰退 grip 緊抓、嚴重影響 unwind 鬆開、放鬆 position 投資部位 US Federal Reserve 美國聯邦準備理事會 stimulus 振興措施 evaporate 蒸發 reinterpret 重新解讀 falter 步履蹣跚 durable goods 耐久財 payroll 薪資單 Sahm rule 薩姆定律(曾在美聯儲任職經濟學家Claudia Sahm提出了後來由她命名的薩姆規則，當美國 3 個月失業率移動平均值，減去前一年失業率低點，所得數值超過 0.5% 時，意味著經濟體正經歷衰退階段) -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

    第一季Final! 奧運盛大開幕 表演引發宗教嘲諷爭議

    巴黎奧運正式開幕！大家幫台灣運動員加油同時，別忘了定期學一下英文！今天跟大家討論，開幕式的一個環節，由變裝皇后登場的某個橋段，被宗教團體認為是在重現達文西的名畫『最後的晚餐』，也引發了嘲諷基督教的爭議。不過舞台總監、還有歷史學家都跳出來，說真的是誤會一場。 The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris received various reactions. The “reenactment” of the Last Supper by drag queens and a naked blue man drew the most controversy. The French Catholic Church issued a statement expressing deep regret over the “mockery of Christianity.” But was this all a “woke” parody of Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic painting “The Last Supper”? A new version suggests otherwise. The real inspiration behind the show had nothing to do with Christianity but with the “ Feast of the Gods” by Dutch painter Jan van Bijlert from 1635, depicting the Olympian gods celebrating a wedding. 重要單字： ceremony 儀式 Olympic Games 奧運(複數型) reenactment 重現、重演 Last Supper 最後的晚餐 drag queen 扮裝皇后 controversy 爭議 Catholic 天主教 mockery 嘲諷 woke 包容、覺醒 parody 諷刺劇 iconic 標誌性的 version 版本 inspiration 靈感 depict 刻畫 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

    EP 23: 機器人管家不是夢？特斯拉機器人預計明年上線

    『人形機器人』一直被產業寄與厚望，因為結合人工智慧，加上如果動作更加精密流暢，型態更像人類的人形機器人，可望紓解人力短缺，或者直接取代家中的掃地機器人、吸塵器、或者很多人最討厭的晾衣服等雜事。馬斯克說特斯拉的人形機器人最快明年，就會在公司內部採用，如果進一步完善，可能就會對外銷售。消息一出讓市場相當振奮。 Elon Musk Says Tesla to Use Humanoid Robots Next Year Elon Musk said Tesla will have humanoid robots in production to be used within the company next year, believing they would be “genuinely useful.” The electric-vehicle maker wants the robots to help produce its cars more efficiently, complete difficult chores and reduce labor shortages. The humanoid robots, an offshoot of Tesla’s driverless-car technology, has excited some investors.
