華華：我記得是在中山區逛街時看到的，聽說這個潮牌在潮人和文青之間很受歡迎，所以信義區的百貨公司也開了一間，同步試試水溫。為了吸引人潮，活動期間內消費滿額還會送贈品。
Huáhua: Wǒ jìde shì zài Zhōngshānqū guàngjiē shí kàn dào de, tīngshuō zhège cháopái zài cháorén hé wénqīng zhījiān hěn shòu huānyíng, suǒyǐ Xìnyìqū de bǎihuò gōngsī yě kāi le yì jiān, tóngbù shìshì shuǐwēn. Wèile xīyǐn réncháo, huódòng qíjiān nèi xiāofèi hái huì sòng zèngpǐn.
清清：也太讓人心動了吧，這個活動會持續到什麼時候呢？
Qīngqing: Yě tài ràng rén xīndòng le ba, zhège huódòng huì chíxù dào shénme shíhòu ne?
華華：好像快結束了，你有興趣的話，心動不如馬上行動。不過通常活動最後幾天可能有加碼的活動，恐怕人潮會更多，排隊得排很久，我看你還是挑個人少的時間去吧。

翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Huahua, where did you buy the clothes you’re wearing? I don’t think I’ve seen that brand before.
Huahua: I came across a pop-up store by chance while shopping last month. I thought their designs were pretty nice, so I bought one to try it out. What do you think? Not bad, right?
Qingqing: It looks really good. The one you picked gives off a fresh and clean vibe. Where is this store located? I want to check it out too.
Huahua: I remember seeing it while I was shopping in the Zhongshan District. I heard that this trendy brand is quite popular among fashion-forward folks and artsy types. That’s why they also opened a store in a department store in the Xinyi District, to test the waters there as well. To attract more people, they’re even giving out free gifts with purchases during the promotional period.
Qingqing: That sounds so tempting. How long will the promotion last?
Huahua: I think it’s ending soon. If you’re interested, there’s no better time than now. But usually, the last few days of these events are super crowded, and the lines can get really long. I’d suggest going when it’s less busy.
Qingqing: Thanks for the tip. I’ve decided — no better day than today. I’ll head over to Zhongshan after work for a quick pop-in.
Huahua: Sounds good. Weekdays should be less crowded. Hope you come back with lots of great finds.

As global travel rebounds following the COVID-19 pa ndemic, the longstanding issue of overtourism has returned stronger than ever.

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.
