L156: Trump's Ultimate Legal Battle Over Global Tariffs Highlights 主題摘要The Supreme Court struck down Trump's emergency tariffs, prompting a rapid shift in his legal strategy.The administration invoked a rare provision in the Trade Act of 1974 to bypass legislative restrictions.Legal scholars warn this statutory maneuvering directly challenges the constitutional separation of powers regarding national taxation. Shortly after the Supreme Court definitively struck down his flagship trade policy, President Donald Trump aggressively retaliated by pivoting to a new legal strategy, announcing a sweeping fifteen percent tariff on global imports. The high court ruled that Trump unconstitutionally bypassed Congress when he previously imposed border taxes using an unprecedented emergency mandate. Infuriated by this legal defeat, the president utilized a different statutory framework to introduce a blanket ten percent levy on Friday, which he suddenly escalated to fifteen percent over the weekend. 就在美國最高法院正式推翻其具指標性的貿易政策後不久，總統川普隨即採取強硬姿態報復，轉向新的法律策略，宣布對全球進口商品徵收高達百分之十五的全面性關稅。最高法院裁定，川普先前利用史無前例的緊急授權來實施邊境稅，已屬違憲繞過國會的行為。面對這場法律挫敗，川普大為震怒，於週五改採一套截然不同的法源依據，祭出百分之十的全面性關稅，隨後更在週末突襲式地將稅率調升至百分之十五。 To circumvent the recent judicial restriction, the administration formally invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. This rarely utilized provision explicitly permits the president to unilaterally implement import restrictions, including tariffs up to fifteen percent, specifically to combat severe national trade deficits. However, this statutory executive authority is strictly limited to one hundred and fifty days unless Congress officially approves an extension. Trump confidently argued this legally tested maneuver provides the executive branch with sufficient power to act decisively. 為了規避近期的司法限制，美國政府正式動用《一九七四年貿易法》的第一二二條。這項罕見的法律條文明文允許總統為對抗嚴重的國家貿易逆差，單方面實施包含高達百分之十五關稅在內的進口限制。然而，這項法定的行政權力有嚴格的時間限制，除非獲得國會正式批准展延，否則僅能實施一百五十天。川普充滿信心地主張，這項經過法律考驗的策略，能為行政部門提供果斷行事的充分權限。 The core of this escalating dispute centers entirely on the constitutional separation of powers regarding taxation. Following the Supreme Court ruling, numerous organizations immediately filed massive lawsuits demanding billions of dollars in refunds for the previously collected exorbitant and unlawful tariffs. Legal scholars emphasize that the US Constitution explicitly grants Congress the exclusive power to lay and collect taxes. By continually seeking obscure statutory loopholes to impose these controversial unilateral duties, the current administration is aggressively challenging the established boundaries of presidential authority and legislative oversight. 這場不斷升溫的爭端，其核心完全圍繞在憲法對課稅權的「權力分立」原則。在最高法院做出裁決後，許多機構立即提起大規模的集體訴訟，要求當局退還先前違法徵收、高達數十億美元的高昂關稅。法界學者強調，《美國憲法》明定國會擁有制定與徵收稅款的專屬權力。...

But with more farmers exploring the field, this soon could change. 南韓吃掉的所有香蕉中，約99.7%為進口，主要來自菲律賓，其餘大多數產自濟州島。惟隨著更多農民探索這片領域，這種情形不久就可能有所改變。 Next Article Topic: Climate change exposes future generations to life-long health harm A child born today faces multiple and life-long health harms from climate change, growing up in a warmer world with risks of food shortages, infectious diseases, floods and extreme heat, a major global study has found. 一項大型全球研究發現，今日出生的孩童，面臨著氣候變遷帶來多項終生的健康危害──他們在暖化的世界長大，伴隨著糧食短缺、傳染性疾病、洪水，以及極端高溫等風險。 Climate change is already harming people’s health by increasing the number of extreme weather events and exacerbating air pollution, according to the study published in The Lancet medical journal. And if nothing is done to mitigate it, its impacts could burden an entire generation with disease and illness throughout their lives. 根據這份發表於醫學期刊《刺胳針》的研究指出，氣候變遷造成極端天氣事件不斷增加，空氣汙染持續惡化，早已開始傷害人類健康。而且，如果不採取任何行動來緩和情況，氣候變遷的影響將帶來疾病和病痛，加重一整個世代終生的負擔。 “Children are particularly vulnerable to the health risks of a changing climate. Their bodies and immune systems are still developing, leaving them more susceptible to disease and environmental pollutants,” said Nick Watts, who co-led the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change study. He warned that health damage in early childhood is “persistent and pervasive,” and carries lifelong consequences. “Without immediate action from all countries to cut greenhouse gas emissions, gains in wellbeing and life expectancy will be compromised, and climate change will come to define the health of an entire generation,” he told a London briefing. 《刺胳針健康與氣候變遷倒數計時》的研究共同主持人尼克‧沃茲指出：「孩童面對變遷氣候的健康風險特別脆弱。小孩的身體和免疫系統仍然在發展階段，使得他們更容易受到疾病和環境污染物影響。」 Yet introducing policies to limit emissions and cap global warming would see a different outcome, the research teams said. In that scenario, a child born today, would see an end to coal use in Britain, for example, by their sixth birthday, and the world reaching net-zero emissions by the time they were 31. The Lancet study is a collaboration by 120 experts from 35 institutions including the WHO, the World Bank, University College London and China’s Tsinghua University. 不過，研究團隊表示，推出政策限制氣體排放，並控制全球暖化程度，則會出現不同的結果。在那樣的情況下，舉例而言，今天出生的孩童會在六歲生日那天看到英國停止使用燃煤，並在三十一歲時看到全球達成淨零碳排放的目標。《刺胳針》這項研究是一百二十位專家的合作成果，他們來自三十五個機構，其中包括世界衛生組織、世界銀行、倫敦大學學院，以及中國的清華大學。 On a “business-as-usual” pathway, with little action to limit climate change, it found that amid rising temperatures and extreme weather events, children would be vulnerable to malnutrition and rising food prices, and the most likely to suffer from warmer waters and climates accelerating the spread of infectious diseases such as dengue fever and cholera. ...

    Summary
    Few years ago, delivery apps such as UberEats, GrubHub, FoodPanda, Deliveroo were the disruptive technology that gave way to a closer link between the gig economy and restaurants. Thanks to these apps, restaurants are able to make deliveries and reach more customers. However, after the COVID-19 pandemic, restaurants that have turned to rely solely on these apps for business are feeling the pain- the pain of higher costs. With most of the delivery apps charging 40% of the order taken, restaurants are now losing money.

L152: Sana-mania: Iron Lady Becomes Japan's Pop Idol Highlights 主題摘要Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has transformed the Japanese election into a pop culture phenomenon dubbed "Sana-mania," engaging youth like never before.While utilizing a carefully curated "cute" image to gain popularity, Takaichi maintains ultra-conservative policies and a hardline stance on defense.Securing a historic landslide victory, she now possesses a powerful mandate to reshape the nation's economy and constitution without significant opposition. Japanese politics has traditionally been the dull, predictable domain of elderly men in gray suits making obscure backroom deals, but Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has thoroughly shattered this exhausting mold. As the nation's first female leader, she has ignited a cultural wildfire dubbed "Sana-mania," transforming the typically staid election season into a vibrant, high-energy spectacle rivaling major pop star fandoms. This unprecedented shift has turned political apathy into feverish excitement, capturing the imagination of the electorate and drawing global attention to a democratic process that was once considered sleep-inducing. 日本政壇向來是身著灰西裝的高齡男性與晦澀密室協商的代名詞，既沈悶且乏味；然而，首相高市早苗已徹底粉碎了這令人疲乏的既定印象。作為日本首位女性領袖，她點燃了一股被稱為「早苗狂熱」的文化野火，將向來死氣沈沈的選舉季，轉變為一場熱度堪比流行巨星崇拜的政治奇觀。這種前所未見的轉變，將原本的政治冷感轉化為狂熱的興奮，不僅抓住了選民的想像力，更讓全球目光聚焦於這個曾經被視為令人昏昏欲睡的民主進程。 This viral phenomenon, locally known as "Sanakatsu," is continuously fueled by a youth-led obsession with her meticulously curated style and savvy digital presence. Fans avidly clamor to purchase the specific pink pens she wields in parliament and dissect her luxury handbags, while her X account commands millions of loyal followers. By showcasing heavy metal drumming skills and projecting an approachable, "commoner" persona, she has successfully re-engaged a younger demographic that had previously felt deeply alienated by the rigid stiffness and perceived irrelevance of traditional political discourse. 這股在日本當地被稱為「早苗活」的病毒式現象，源於年輕世代對其精心經營的個人風格與精湛數位操作的狂熱追逐。粉絲們爭相搶購她在國會使用的特定款粉紅鋼筆，熱烈剖析她的名牌手提包款式，而她的 X（前推特）帳號更坐擁數百萬名忠實追隨者。透過展現重金屬爵士鼓的才華並投射出親民的「庶民」人設，她成功重新連結了那些過去因傳統政治論述僵化、且認為政治與己無關而深感疏離的年輕族群。 However, strictly beneath the viral hashtags and fashionable accessories lies a steely political operator frequently compared to Britain’s "Iron Lady," Margaret Thatcher. Takaichi is an unapologetic ultra-conservative who champions drastically increased defense spending to counter regional threats and maintains fiercely hardline stances on both immigration and relations with China. Her signature "Sanaenomics" policy promises bold fiscal stimulus, skillfully blending populist economic relief with distinct nationalism designed to restore national pride and consolidate her power base across varied demographics. 然而，在病毒式傳播的主題標籤與時尚配件之下，隱藏的卻是一位常被比作英國「鐵娘子」柴契爾夫人的鐵腕政治操盤手。高市是一位毫不掩飾的極端保守派，她極力主張大幅增加國防預算以抗衡區域威脅，並在移民改革與對中關係上維持極度強硬的立場。她招牌的「早苗經濟學」承諾推行大膽的財政刺激政策，巧妙地將民粹主義式的經濟救濟與鮮明的民族主義結合，...

Last year, a Hong Kong company gave up after many of its green bicycles ended up in the Tiber river. Months later, a Singapore company bailed after Romans stole the yellow bikes and broke them down for parts. 2013年，由於經費用盡，加上老有汽車並排停在單車架前，羅馬終止了單車共享計畫。去年，在旗下許多綠色自行車落得葬身台伯河的下場後，一家香港公司打了退堂鼓。數月後，一家新加坡公司在羅馬人偷走其黃色單車並拆解拿走零件後，也離開了。 Rome has been a bike share wasteland, but Uber says things will be different for the shiny new red bikes it has introduced all over the city. 羅馬一直是單車共享難以生存的荒原，但優步宣稱，它在全市推出的閃亮紅色新單車會讓情況改觀。 “We’ve tested ours on Rome’s cobblestones,” said Michele Biggi, manager of Uber’s Jump electric-bike program in southwestern Europe, who added that previous competitors’ bikes weren’t up to the city’s demands and “could have fallen down with just a gust of wind.” 優步南歐地區Jump電單車計畫經理米歇爾．畢吉說：「我們已在羅馬的鵝卵石街道上做過測試」，並指以前競爭對手的單車未達到城市的要求，「可能光是一陣風吹過就倒下了」。 He has big plans for the Uber bikes, he said, which “will change Rome and give the city a new lifeblood.” 他說，他為優步單車制定宏偉計畫，這「將改變羅馬且給這座城市注入新的生命力」。 Uber and its competitors have already introduced similar pedal-assisted bikes and electric scooters in Paris; London; Lisbon, Portugal; Brussels and other cities that in several cases are overrun with rolling menaces. (Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, has decried “the scooter anarchy.”) But Rome, the first Italian city to get Uber’s electric-bicycle service, is not any other European city. 優步及其競爭對手已在巴黎、倫敦、里斯本、布魯塞爾及其他城市推出類似的助力單車和電動滑板車，而其中有些城市狀況連連。（巴黎市長安妮．伊達戈曾譴責「滑板車無政府狀態」）。然而，第一個獲得優步電動自行車服務的義大利城市羅馬，可不是任何其他歐洲城市。 Rome could be a bike-share dream in one respect: There is no shortage of demand. The city has only two finished subway lines (a third is perennially under construction), and buses come late, fail to show up and occasionally explode. 從某方面來說，羅馬可以成為共享單車的夢幻國度：不乏需求。該市只有兩條完工的地鐵線路（第三條一直在興建中），而公車則會晚點、不出現，偶爾還會爆炸。 Driving on the city’s notoriously clogged streets is a nightmare. Parking is worse. 在這個城市塞到爆的街道上開車有如噩夢一場，找地方停車更會要了老命。 But the obstacles to a bike share program are daunting: Rome’s infamous potholes, its mounds of uncollected trash, double-parked cars, a strong vandal spirit in place since the actual Vandals sacked Rome, and a local resistance to change and physical exertion. Rome’s embattled mayor, Virginia Raggi, urged Romans to show that the city is civilized after all. 但單車共享計畫遇到的阻礙也令人生畏：羅馬惡名昭彰的路面坑窪、成堆待收的垃圾、並排停放的汽車、自真正的汪達爾人洗劫羅馬以來就一直存在的強烈破壞精神，以及當地人對改變和體力消耗的抗拒。陷入困境的羅馬市長拉吉敦促羅馬市民，以行動證明這座城市畢竟是文明的。 “If we don’t want these bikes to be badly treated, guess who it is up to?” Raggi said at the Uber bikes’ unveiling Oct. 21. “Romans themselves are the first defense against degradation.” 拉吉10月21日在優步單車發布會上說：「如果我們不希望這些單車受到虐待，猜猜要靠誰呢？羅馬人自己是抵禦毀壞的第一道防線。」 The company is introducing a fleet of 2,800 bicycles that can be left practically anywhere, and they seem to be everywhere. 該公司正推出總數2800輛的自行車隊，使用後幾乎隨處皆可停放，而它們也似乎無所不在。 But not all Romans are fans. “Rome Is Gross” a well-known social media feed decrying the city’s ...
