翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Next Thursday is Teachers’ Day, and my younger brother who is studying at National Tsing Hua University will have a day off. I’m really envious of him!
Huahua: Oh! Sept. 28 is Confucius’s birthday, which is also Teachers’ Day in Taiwan.
Qingqing: When I visited China before, I heard that their Teachers’ Day is not on Sept. 28 but on Sept. 10. It’s different from ours.
Huahua: That’s OK. I believe the gratitude toward teachers is the same. How do you thank your teachers?
Qingqing: Every year, I write cards and send them to my teachers, thanking them for their guidance and wishing them a happy Teachers’ Day.
Huahua: You’re such a good student. I suggest your brother visit the Confucius Temple during his day off. Some temples have celebratory activities, which are very interesting.
Qingqing: Great! I’ll tell him. Thank you.

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.
