A. 政治: 獨裁政體國家(北韓柬埔寨中國俄國)的近況 B. 經濟: 芭比電影爆紅現象+推特的藍色小鳥一去不回來 C.小撇步: ALLEX華語教學獎學金的申請可以開始準備啦! D.訪問: 高中二年級生白毛Jason 對墨西哥綁架事件的看法感謝每日一經濟學人團隊分享以下內容: A. 政治 1. Hun Sen, Cambodia’s autocratic leader, said he would step down as prime minister on August 10th and hand the job to his son, Hun Manet. Mr Hun Sen has ruled Cambodia for 40 years, recently winning an election in which there was no opposition. He will remain head of the governing party. 柬埔寨獨裁者洪森表示他將於 8月10日辭去其總理職務，並將職位交給他的兒子洪馬內。洪森統治柬埔寨已有四十年之久，並在沒有反對派的情況下贏得了近期選舉。他將繼續擔任執政黨黨魁/領袖。 2.Chinese and Russian delegations attended military parades in Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital, to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of the Korean war. It was the first public visit by officials from North Korea’s allies since the start of the covid-19 pandemic. Russia’s delegation included the defence minister, Sergei Shoigu. 中國和俄國代表團參加了在北韓首都平壤所舉行的閱兵儀式，以紀念韓戰結束七十週年。這是自新冠疫情大流行開始以來有北韓盟友之官員們的首次公開訪問。俄國代表團成員包括國防部長 Sergei Shoigu。 3. Russia blamed Ukraine for another drone attack on Moscow. One of the drones caused minor damage near the defence ministry, close to a room where the army discusses its strategy for the war in Ukraine. 俄國指責烏克蘭對 (其首都) 莫斯科再次發動無人機攻擊。其中一架無人機在 (俄國) 國防部附近造成了輕微的損害，而遭損害處靠近 (俄國) 軍隊討論烏克蘭戰爭之戰略的會議室。 Vladimir Putin signed a law that bans transgender surgery in Russia and outlaws any attempt by a person to change their sex legally. It also annuls marriages in which one spouse is transgender. (俄國總統) 普丁簽署了一條法令，即禁止於俄國進行變性手術，並將任何人試圖改變性別視為非法。另外，(該法令) 亦宣告配偶其中一方是跨性別者的婚姻為無效。 B. 經濟 1. “Barbie” won the battle of the box office against “Oppenheimer”, taking more money in ticket receipts after both films were released on the same day. Barbenheimer made for the best opening weekend in America this year, renewing hopes for a revival in cinema attendance. Other recent blockbusters, such as “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”, have not attracted the audiences that had been hoped for. 芭比 (Barbie) 在與奧本海默 (Oppenheimer) 的票房大戰中獲勝，而前者在兩部影片同日上映後獲得了更多的票房收入。奧本海默創造了今年 (2023年) 美國週末首映的最佳票房記錄，並重新燃起了人們對去電影院觀看的希望。最近上映的其他大片，如印第安納瓊斯：命運輪盤 (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny)，所吸引到的觀眾人數不如預期。 2. Twitter killed off its blue bird logo. The platform has been rebranded, now displaying a white “X” on a black background. The bird is not entirely dead, however, and still floats around on many mobile apps. Twitter is now officially called X, though everyone still calls it Twitter. Workmen trying to remove the old name from its headquarters in San Francisco were stopped midway by police, leaving “er” as the company’s front signage. 推特 (Twitter) 取消了藍鳥的標誌。該社群平台已進行了品牌再造，而現在的標誌是黑底白字的“X”。不過這隻“藍鳥”並沒有完全退役；它仍然存在於許多手機應用程式上。現在推特的正式名稱是“X”，但大家仍稱呼它“推特”。推特的員工們試圖將舊名稱從舊金山總部移除，但中途被警察攔下；“er”成為了目前公司的門面招牌。 C. 小撇步: ALLEX獎學金 1) -> 開始報名九月托福!! https://www.ets.org/toefl/test-takers/ibt/schedule.html 2) 獎學金申請截止日期：2023年10月15日 3) 面試日期：2024年1月初 D. Interview 白毛Jason An independent panel investigating the disappearance of 43 college students in Mexico nearly a decade ago issued its final report. The panel, appointed by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, said that members of the armed forces, navy, police and intelligence services knew of the location of the students, but had been unco-operative. 一個獨立小組調查了近十年前墨西哥 43名大學生失踪的事件，並發佈了最終報告。該小組由美洲人權委員會所任命，並表示墨國武裝部隊、海軍、警察和情報部門的成員們知道學生們的位置，但彼此之間一直不合作。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
