L028: Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill': Winners and Losers Emerge Highlights 主題摘要Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill permanently extends 2017 tax cuts while making historic cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs.Corporate America and high-income earners benefit significantly, while low-income Americans face reduced safety net support and potential benefit losses.The legislation adds $3.4 trillion to federal deficits over ten years, raising concerns about elevated interest rates and government debt. President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" achieved a narrow congressional victory in July 2025, marking his administration's most significant domestic policy achievement. The sweeping 887-page legislation permanently extends the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act while implementing substantial changes to federal spending priorities. House Republicans celebrated the 218-214 passage after the Senate's razor-thin 51-50 approval required Vice President Vance's tie-breaking vote. The comprehensive package combines tax relief measures with increased border security funding, defense spending enhancements, and energy production investments, fundamentally reshaping America's fiscal landscape for the coming decade. 川普總統的「大而美法案」在2025年7月於國會驚險過關，標誌著其政府最重要的國內政策成就。這項涵蓋887頁的全面性立法永久延長2017年減稅與就業法案，同時對聯邦支出優先順序進行重大改革。在參議院以51比50的微弱優勢通過，需要副總統萬斯投下關鍵性的一票後，眾議院共和黨人為218比214的表決結果慶祝。這項綜合性法案結合了減稅措施、增加邊境安全經費、強化國防支出和能源生產投資，從根本上重新塑造美國未來十年的財政結構。 Corporate America emerged as the legislation's primary beneficiary, with major business groups applauding the permanent tax breaks and enhanced deductions. Manufacturers particularly benefit from immediate write-offs for new facility construction and expanded semiconductor tax credits. High-income Americans gain substantially, with the top 20% of earners receiving nearly $13,000 annual increases and the wealthiest 0.1% gaining over $290,000 yearly. Small businesses and partnerships secure permanent deductions, while workers receiving tips and overtime enjoy temporary tax breaks through 2028. The state and local tax deduction cap increases from $10,000 to $40,000 for five years. 美國企業界成為該立法的最大受益者，主要商業團體對永久性減稅和強化扣除額表示讚賞。製造業者特別受惠於新廠房建設的立即沖銷和擴大的半導體租稅優惠。高收入美國人獲得可觀利益，收入前20%的族群每年增加近13,000美元，最富有的0.1%每年可獲得超過290,000美元。小型企業和合夥事業獲得永久性扣除額，而領取小費和加班費的勞工在2028年前可享有暫時性減稅。州及地方稅扣除額上限從10,000美元提高到40,000美元，期限為五年。 The legislation's most controversial elements target America's social safety net through unprecedented cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs. For the first time in Medicaid's 60-year history, work requirements become federally mandated, while SNAP work mandates expand to include parents of children aged 14 and older. The Congressional Budget Office estimates 11.8 million Americans will lose Medicaid coverage over the next decade, with few gaining access to employer-based insurance. Low-income households earning under $18,000 annually face $165 reductions in after-tax income, representing a ...

She carefully stitched a sophisticated woolen coat, the sort of style that will sell for 800 to 2,000 euros ($935 to $2,340) when it arrives in stores this month as part of the fall and winter collection of MaxMara, the Italian luxury fashion brand. 在義大利南部城鎮聖埃拉莫因科萊一棟公寓的二樓，一名中年婦女今年夏天坐在黑色軟墊的椅子上，在廚房用桌前辛勤地工作著。她以針線細心縫製一件精緻的羊毛外套，這個款式本月送進商店時，標價800至2,000歐元（935至2,340美元）不等，是義大利奢侈品牌MaxMara秋冬系列的一部分。 But the woman, who asked not to be named for fear that she could lose her livelihood, receives just 1 euro from the factory that employs her for each meter of fabric she completes. 不過，擔心可能因此失去生計而不願透露姓名的這名女性，每完成1公尺面料，只能從雇用她的工廠那裡拿到1歐元。 “It takes me about one hour to sew one meter, so about four to five hours to complete an entire coat,” said the woman, who works without a contract, or insurance, and is paid in cash on a monthly basis. “I try to do two coats per day.” 這名女性說：「我大概1小時縫1公尺，大約4到5小時完成一整件外套。我試著每天做兩件大衣。」 她的工作沒有聘雇合約，也不提供保險，僅按月支領現金。 The unregulated work she completes in her apartment is outsourced to her from a local factory that also manufactures outerwear for some of the best-known names in the luxury business, including Louis Vuitton and Fendi. The most she has ever earned, she said, was 24 euros ($28) for an entire coat. 她在公寓內完成，未受任何規範的這份工作，是當地一家工廠外包給她的，該廠還替奢侈品界另一些知名品牌製造外套，包括路易威登和芬迪。她說，她所獲得的最高收入，是一整件外套24歐元（合28美元）。 Homework — working from home or a small workshop as opposed to in a factory — is a cornerstone of the fast-fashion supply chain. It is particularly prevalent in countries such as India, Bangladesh, Vietnam and China, where millions of low-paid and predominantly female homeworkers are some of the most unprotected in the industry, because of their irregular employment status, isolation and lack of legal recourse. 家庭代工─ 在家中或小型工作室而非工廠工作─已成為快速時尚供應鏈的基石。在印度、孟加拉、越南和中國這些國家，家庭代工尤其普遍，數以百萬計，且主要是女性的家庭代工從業人員 ，因就業狀況不穩定，孤立和欠缺法律追索權，屬於該行業中最缺乏保護的一群。 That similar conditions exist in Italy, however, and facilitate the production of some of the most expensive wardrobe items money can buy, may shock those who see the “Made in Italy” label as a byword for sophisticated craftsmanship. 然而，類似狀況同樣存在於義大利，而且幫忙生產錢能買到的一些最昂貴衣物，卻可能讓視「義大利製造」標籤為精緻工藝代名詞的人震驚。 Increased pressure from globalization and growing competition at all levels of the market mean that the assumption implicit in the luxury promise — that part of the value of such a good is that it is made in the best conditions, by highly skilled workers, who are paid fairly — is at times ...

    精選詞彙單元 Vocab EP.035: 傑米·奧利佛的餐廳關門了 Jamie Oliver’s restaurant chain in financial trouble
    Jul 17 2025


    Summary:

    Jamie Oliver’s restaurant chain is on its way going bankrupt. Skynews reported that Jamie is calling in the administrators because the chain failed to stay afloat. Last year, the Mirror reported that the restaurant empire owed staff £2.2 million and was in £71.5 million of debt. Oliver blamed Brexit on the closure of six of his Jamie’s Italian branches. He said poor trading conditions, rising food and staffing costs, and a weakening pound. Restaurant consultant mentioned that Jamie’s demise can also be attributable to consumers abandoning the ‘middle market’ having realized they can get better quality food from (say) their local Italian or burger joint at the same price or less.

    Vocabulary and sample sentences:

    On the brink (of collapse) idiom. - a situation when you are almost in a new situation, usually a bad one

    • I was on the brink of a nervous breakdown when I saw my credit card bill last month.


    Closure n. - act of closing something / shut

    • The closure of Jamie’s restaurant pushed Jamie to work harder.


    Struggling adj. - striving to achieve something in face of difficulty

    • Last month was a struggling period for me to pay rent.

    還記得我們之前討論過AI工具如何改變我們的生活嗎？這週的《英語咖啡館》John老師和Cariya老師要來聊聊OpenAI最新功能“購物助手”的發展！

    OpenAI在4月推出全新購物功能，將購物助手整合到ChatGPT中，提供個人化商品推薦和直接購買連結。最驚人的是，ChatGPT的週活躍用戶已突破4億！想像一下，如果AI真的取代Google成為主要搜尋工具，它不僅能幫我們找商品，還能影響我們的購買決策。

    本集中我們還討論了使用購物助手的各種可能，John老師分享AI如何幫助在穿搭方面不太有自信的人（特別是男性朋友們！）。透過生活方式提示，AI可以建議適合不同場合的服裝選擇，成為你的專屬造型顧問！而對數位行銷人員來說，這波AI購物趨勢可能會徹底改變遊戲規則。以前專注於關鍵字優化，現在必須思考消費者如何「提示」AI，並確保品牌內容能被AI理解和推薦。

    Remember when we previously discussed how AI tools are changing our lives? This week on English Cafe, Cariya and I talk about OpenAI's latest "shopping assistant" feature development!

    OpenAI launched a new shopping function in April, integrating a shopping assistant into ChatGPT that provides personalized product recommendations and direct purchase links. Most surprisingly, ChatGPT's weekly active users have surpassed 400 million! Imagine if AI truly replaced Google as the primary search tool—it wouldn't just help us find products, but also influence our purchasing decisions.

    In this episode, we also discuss various possibilities for using shopping assistants. Teacher John shares how AI can help people who aren't confident about fashion (especially the guys!). Through lifestyle prompts, AI can suggest clothing choices suitable for different occasions, becoming your personal styling consultant! For digital marketers, this wave of AI shopping trends could completely change the game. Previously focused on keyword optimization, now they must think about how consumers "prompt" AI and ensure brand content can be understood and recommended by AI.

L024: Europe Breaks Under Record-Shattering Heat Wave Highlights 主題摘要A powerful heat dome traps scorching African air over Europe, combining with Mediterranean marine heat waves.Spain and England shatter June temperature records while Portugal reaches deadly 46.6°C conditions.The Eiffel Tower closes its summit while nuclear plants shut down as systems buckle. Europe finds itself trapped beneath a massive heat dome during early July 2025, as scorching temperatures from northern Africa combine with a Mediterranean marine heat wave. This meteorological event occurs when high-pressure systems stall over western Europe, acting like a lid that traps hot air masses for extended periods. Water temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea have surged nine degrees above average, creating feedback loops that magnify land temperatures while maintaining suffocating humidity levels. The western Mediterranean shows the most severe warming, particularly south of France, where rising sea temperatures eliminate coastal cooling effects. 歐洲在2025年7月初被困在巨大的熱穹頂之下，來自北非的酷熱溫度與地中海海洋熱浪結合。當高壓系統停滯在西歐上空時，就會發生這種氣象事件，像蓋子一樣將熱氣團困住長達數週。地中海的水溫已經比平均值高出9度，形成回饋循環，使陸地溫度升高，同時維持令人窒息的濕度。西地中海出現最嚴重的暖化現象，特別是在法國南部，海水溫度上升消除了沿海的降溫效果。 Temperature records continue falling across European nations as this brutal heat wave goes beyond typical summer patterns. Spain recorded its hottest June in history with an average temperature of 23.6°C, while Barcelona experienced extreme conditions since records began, reaching a staggering single-day high of 37.9°C. England simultaneously shattered its June temperature record with a mean of 16.9°C, marking only the second time such readings occurred since 1884. Portugal witnessed mainland Europe's highest June temperature recorded at 46.6°C in Mora, while countries including Italy, Germany, and France prepare for additional records to tumble. 隨著這波殘酷熱浪超越一般夏季模式持續加劇，歐洲各國的溫度紀錄不斷被打破。西班牙創下史上最熱的6月紀錄，平均溫度達23.6°C，而巴塞隆納自有紀錄以來經歷極端高溫，單日最高溫達到驚人的37.9°C。英國同時打破6月溫度紀錄，平均溫度為16.9°C，這是自1884年以來僅第二次出現如此極端的數據。葡萄牙的莫拉鎮創下歐洲大陸6月最高溫紀錄46.6°C，而義大利、德國和法國等國正準備見到更多紀錄被打破。 Critical systems across Europe buckle under relentless heat, forcing emergency closures and measures that highlight modern society's fragility. Paris authorities closed the Eiffel Tower's summit to tourists as the iron structure expands and tilts under extreme temperatures, prioritizing visitor safety during this exceptional weather event. Switzerland's Axpo energy company shut down reactor units at the Beznau nuclear power plant when River Aare temperatures exceeded 25°C, preventing thermal pollution that could devastate aquatic ecosystems. France activated red alerts across sixteen departments while closing over 1,300 schools, as emergency services responded to weather-related incidents. 歐洲各地的關鍵系統在無情高溫下不堪負荷，被迫採取緊急關閉措施，凸顯現代社會的脆弱性。巴黎當局關閉艾菲爾鐵塔頂層，因為鐵製結構在極端高溫下會膨脹並略微傾斜，在這個異常天氣事件期間優先考慮遊客安全。瑞士Axpo能源公司在阿勒河溫度超過25°C時關閉貝茲瑙核電廠的反應爐機組，避免可能對水生生態系統造成毀滅性影響的熱污染。法國在16個省份啟動紅色警報，同時關閉超過1,300所學校，緊急救援單位也回應了與氣候相關的事件。 Climate ...
