Taiwan-EU partnership, building a democratic, prosperous future

Modern democracy was born in Europe. It was carried by the currents of history across the Atlantic and into the Indo-Pacific region, where it has taken root, flourished and branched outward. In Taiwan, democratic governance was achieved through a century of persistent struggle and sacrifice by generations of Taiwanese. Through institutional reform and transition, democracy has become the DNA of our society — reflected in our social environment, cultural diversity, religious freedom and innovation-driven economy.

However, authoritarian expansion continues to challenge the resolve and resilience of the global democratic camp. China, Russia, North Korea and Iran have increasingly formed alliances, collectively supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

At last year’s NATO summit in Washington, China was referred to as a “decisive enabler” of Russia’s aggression. As a major power within the authoritarian bloc, China persistently undermines the rules-based international order and targets Taiwan through military intimidation, economic coercion and legal manipulation to weaken our standing.

For Taiwan’s survival and development, it is essential to deepen partnerships with like-minded nations, integrating democratic values with economic and technological interests.

Europe is not only the birthplace of modern democracy and the market economy, but also the cradle of advanced technology. It has long been a foundational partner of Taiwan. Indeed, the earliest investments in Taiwan’s “silicon shield” came from Europe, and European raw materials and technologies remain indispensable to our semiconductor industry.

For example, Belgium’s Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre, which I visited in November last year, has maintained deep cooperation with Taiwan. Dutch semiconductor leader ASML has also long engaged with our industry. By last year, European investment in Taiwan had reached US$73.4 billion, exceeding the combined total from the US and Japan. All of that underscores Europe’s exceptional importance to Taiwan.

While Taiwan and Europe face pressure from authoritarian expansionism, they also enjoy unprecedented potential for cooperation. At a time of challenges and opportunities, Taiwan’s strategy toward Europe would leverage its key roles within the global democratic value chain, the first island chain in the Indo-Pacific region and “non-red” supply chains.

Through a policy of integrated diplomacy, Taiwan would advance cooperation with Europe across three major pillars: values-based diplomacy, alliance diplomacy and economic diplomacy.

Europe, with a long democratic tradition and many democracies, requires engagement tailored to its different regions. Taiwan should pursue region-specific partnerships in Europe to build zone defense for democracy and economic resilience. Deeper integration with major institutions such as NATO, which focuses on collective security and the EU, which pursues economic and political integration, would ensure that Taiwan’s integrated diplomacy and three-chain strategy complements Europe’s strategic architecture, thus forming a crucial component in strategic Taiwan-Europe alignment.

In western Europe, G7 countries — particularly the UK, France and Germany — have been the foundation of Taiwan-Europe relations and have shown increased interest in Indo-Pacific affairs. France and Germany remain core EU members. The UK, while no longer an EU member, remains a NATO ally.

Notably, Taiwan’s 2023 Enhanced Trade Partnership with the UK marked its first institutionalized economic framework with any European country — an important template for expanded engagement.

Taiwan is also extending its outreach to central and eastern Europe, the Nordic countries and southern Europe. Central and eastern European countries and the Baltic states — standing alongside Taiwan on the front lines against authoritarian pressure — have strengthened ties with Taiwan in the domains of technology and the economy. Taiwan’s Central and Eastern Europe Resilience Initiative 2.0 seeks to expand codevelopment of semiconductor ecosystems with the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Slovakia and now Poland as well.

Furthermore, Finland’s and Sweden’s accession to NATO in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine conflict means that the “Nordic Five” are now all full NATO members. The Baltic states — Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia — share Taiwan’s experience of democratic transformation. Together, the Nordic countries and the Baltic states form a vital front of democratic defense and offer fertile ground for expanded cooperation.

Meanwhile, in southern Europe — including Italy, the Holy See (a formal diplomatic ally of Taiwan), and emerging democracies in the Balkans — there is also significant potential for deepening bilateral ties.

Through integrated diplomacy and the three-chain strategy, Taiwan can thus bolster collaboration with Europe’s traditional and emerging democracies — creating a dual-axis model that enriches strategic, regional and multilayered Taiwan-Europe engagement.

Taiwan’s democratic transformation has received global recognition. In The Economist’s Democracy Index, Taiwan ranks 12th worldwide — on par with leading European democracies. That deep democratic alignment forms a solid foundation for expanding Taiwan-Europe relations.

In response to mounting authoritarian attempts to subvert the rules-based international order — such as China’s efforts to treat the Taiwan Strait as internal waters — European democracies, alongside the US, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, have dispatched naval vessels through the Strait, affirming the right to freedom of navigation.

The EU, the UK and others have also publicly repudiated China’s conflation of UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 with Beijing’s “one China principle.” The parliaments of the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Belgium and the UK, as well as the European Parliament, have passed pro-Taiwan resolutions to counter China’s distortions.

Beyond geopolitics, Taiwan and Europe share a commitment to freedom, democracy and cultural pluralism. We continue to strengthen religious and cultural ties, including with the Holy See. Since becoming foreign minister, I have collaborated with the Ministry of Culture and the National Palace Museum to promote the Taiwan Culture in Europe 2025 initiative, showcasing our rich heritage. We are also advancing direct flight routes and scholarship programs to invigorate youth exchanges and people-to-people connections.

The Japan-UK defense ministers’ joint statement emphasized that peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait are essential to global prosperity. It further demonstrates that the security of the Strait is not only central to regional stability in the Indo-Pacific region, but also vital to global security. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to foster strategic dialogue with European partners and encourages public affirmations from Europe and the EU that peace in the Taiwan Strait is a global concern.

With NATO countries committing to raise defense budgets, targeting 5 percent of GDP by 2035, and with the EU pushing the ReArm Europe initiative to revitalize its defense industry, Taiwan seeks opportunities for collaboration in defense and emerging sectors such as uncrewed systems, cybersecurity, undersea cable security and societal resilience.

Taiwan’s extensive experience addressing hybrid threats and infiltration can serve as an asset for European democracies confronting similar challenges. Together, we can provide key public goods for democracies and build a “democracy shield” — a shared bulwark against authoritarianism.

With regard to economic diplomacy, Europe is pursuing reindustrialization and risk diversification amid China’s unfair trade practices and overcapacity. Taiwan’s globally distributed and agile industrial base, combined with its leadership in cutting-edge technologies, makes it an ideal partner for Europe’s supply chain diversification and for building non-red supply chains.

With trust emerging as a critical asset in global supply chains, Taiwan is advancing President William Lai’s (賴清德) Five Trusted Industry Sectors: semiconductors, next-generation communications, artificial intelligence (AI), defense, and security and surveillance. Through public-private cooperation, we are promoting Trusted Technology Taiwan — a brand combining democratic values, alliance-based trust and economic added value.

Our Diplomatic Allies Prosperity Project (榮邦計畫) focuses on eight flagship areas: semiconductor supply chain resilience; medical and healthcare innovation; AI sovereignty; renewable energy and carbon rights; tourism sustainability; pilot smart industrial parks; agricultural innovation; and digital governance and trusted networks. Paired with financial tools such as the Central and Eastern Europe Investment and Credit Funds, the initiative boosts Taiwanese business engagement across Europe and reinforces deeper bilateral economic ties.

While Taiwan’s GDP approaches G20 levels, our limited land area and population mean that a quantitative gap remains compared with the large European nations that are G7 members. Yet in terms of global competitiveness, economic freedom and innovation — especially in semiconductors, AI and supply chain security — Taiwan is among the world’s top-performing nations.

It stands as a pivotal state — positioned at the nexus where the democratic camp and authoritarian bloc compete in AI and technology. Taiwan now has the opportunity to assert itself as a new middle power — not merely a guardian of democracy, but as an architect of global prosperity through economic and technological collaboration.

Taiwan-Europe cooperation is a shared duty to defend democracy and a historic opportunity to create prosperity. Advancing our relationship demands expanded resources and whole-of-society engagement, guided by the spirit of “every ministry is a ministry of foreign affairs and every citizen is a diplomat.” Taiwan looks forward to working hand in hand with Europe to reaffirm our shared democratic values, translate values-based diplomacy into value-added action and together build a brighter future of democracy and prosperity.

Modern global politics has been deeply shaped by the European model of development. Constitutional monarchies and democratic republics that emerged from England’s and France’s imperial transformations defined the foundations of modern governance and exerted worldwide influence. The US and the Soviet Union represent two divergent political traditions that emerged from Europe, both rooted in the continent’s theories of democracy.

The Soviet Union was a federation of communist states grounded in extreme state socialism, while the US is a democratic federation shaped by European liberal capitalism. The former has since disappeared, but the latter endures as a dominant power.

The US began its ascent in the early 20th century, while the Soviet Union grew into a superpower after World War II. Allied in the struggle against fascism, they emerged from the conflict as leaders of rival global blocs. Their prolonged confrontation defined the Cold War until the Soviet collapse, which coincided with China’s rise and ushered in a new era of US-China rivalry. However, communist China is not a product of Europe, but of the Soviet Union — a state founded on Marxist-Leninist principles.

The US, as a child of Europe, and post-Soviet Russia have followed markedly different trajectories. Their experiences suggest that a democracy rooted in liberal capitalism fosters a more dynamic national evolution than a communist state built upon radical forms of state socialism. Looking back at Europe’s development, a democratic system that is capable of accommodating liberal capitalism and democratic socialism appears to be the more sustainable political model.

China’s historical path contrasts sharply with Europe’s. Unlike Europe, which never consolidated into a unified power even at the height of the Roman Empire, China achieved unification under the Qin Dynasty and remained a dominant power centered on Han culture through successive dynasties, including the Yuan and Qing. Europe’s tradition of political fragmentation and decentralization helped bring about democratization, while China’s enduring centralization has consistently impeded democratic transformation.

In the aftermath of World War II, several European nations established what would become the EU — a union of states that remain sovereign, but are capable of collective action — although the UK formally withdrew in 2020. The EU’s creation reflected a political maturity born of long histories of colonial expansion and the devastation of Europe’s wars, including the destruction wrought by Nazi Germany. Despite such turmoil, the trajectory of these nations ultimately followed relatively civilized paths.

China boasts of its long history, but its imperial worldview, encapsulated in the maxim “under the wide heaven, all is the king’s land,” coupled with what it views as humiliation in the modern era wrought by Western powers, led it to follow the Soviet example of adopting Marxism-Leninism. All seemingly democratic measures in China are merely a facade; authoritarianism is the reality. A state that disguises socialism under the cloak of nationalism cannot possibly be a good country.

Today, with China, Russia and North Korea aligning as an authoritarian axis, and the US, Europe and Japan consolidating into a democratic coalition, history appears at risk of repeating its cycles of confrontation and crisis.

Caught in the middle, Taiwan — a country that still lacks true sovereign status — is left unanchored, drifting through the turbulent tides and shifting light and shadows of a disorderly world.

Lee Min-yung is a poet.

Young people are challenging the status quo, but questions remain if their efforts would endure

From Nepal to Indonesia, Sri Lanka to Bangladesh, Asia’s youth are furious. Protests show a generation unwilling to accept inequality and injustice as their destiny, but for lasting political change to be achieved, this rage must be channeled into reform.

Raw anger is spilling out onto the streets. On Tuesday, Nepalese prime minister K.P. Sharma Oli resigned after two days of demonstrations over a sweeping social media ban. At least 19 people were killed and hundreds more injured after scores of “Gen-Z” protesters clashed with police. The ban was swiftly scrapped, but the disenchantment has continued. The army has stepped in, urging people to back down.

Young Nepalis are fed up. Blocking the apps was the immediate catalyst for their frustrations, another reminder of living under a government that is out of touch with their concerns. These platforms are critical tools in a country where about one in four people live below the national poverty line.

They are a way to receive remittances and stay in touch with friends and loved ones.

Indonesia has witnessed similar scenes. Late last month, outrage erupted after lawmakers were awarded lavish housing allowances — nearly 10 times the monthly minimum wage — while ordinary citizens grappled with soaring living costs. The death of a motorcycle taxi driver, run over by a police vehicle, further inflamed tensions.

Demonstrators looted the homes of top lawmakers, torched cars and vandalized government buildings, in some of the worst violence in decades. Under mounting pressure, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto rolled back the perks, pledging greater accountability. On Monday last week, widely respected Indonesian minister of finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati was removed. It is speculated that she was sacrificed to calm public anger.

At first glance, these protests appear unconnected, but there are common grievances. These are both nations with young populations: About half of Indonesia’s total population is younger than 30, while in Nepal, it is around 56 percent. High unemployment rates are an issue, as is a widening income gap.

These demonstrations also highlight how collective youth action can force governments into retreat. Still, outrage alone is insufficient. Asia’s history of activism shows that demonstrations can topple leaders, but without meaningful political reforms, they rarely transform societies.

Bangladesh illustrates both promise and peril. A student-led uprising last year forced Sheikh Hasina — the longest-serving prime minister in Bangladesh’s history — to step down and flee the country. Hundreds died and many more were injured in the violence. The demonstrations led to a caretaker government helmed by Bangladeshi Interim Prime Minister and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus.

He has promised to restore order and rejuvenate democratic institutions, encouraging young people to get involved. Elections are expected early next year, but whether Bangladesh transforms into a functioning democracy would depend on how credible they are.

Sri Lanka’s experience is a cautionary tale. In 2022, a largely youth-led protest movement known as the Aragalaya, taking its name from the Sinhala word for struggle, forced the resignation of Sri Lankan president Gotabaya Rajapaksa. His incompetent nearly three-year rule ended with the nation defaulting on its debt in an unprecedented economic meltdown. The government’s foreign reserve crisis meant it was unable to pay for fuel imports, leading to long petrol lines and daily 13-hour power cuts.

However, the movement lacked a coherent long-term plan, and the old guard quickly regrouped. Ranil Wickremesinghe, another member of the discredited political elite, was installed as president.

Only last year did voters finally find an alternative, electing wildly popular Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, eventually giving his National People’s Power coalition a parliamentary majority. His appeal lies partly in connecting with younger voters, offering a contrast to the cronyism and corruption of politicians from an earlier era.

Asia’s youth movements could draw lessons from farther afield. In New York, the meteoric rise of New York State Representative Zohran Mamdani from assemblyman to leading mayoral contender is notable. Using viral social media campaigns and policies that speak directly to young voters, Mamdani’s popularity stems from his authenticity, a sense that he empathizes with the people he says he wants to serve. This solutions-driven idealism has channeled what could have been rage into agency.

One name that has been mentioned as a potential leader in Nepal is Kathmandu Mayor Balendra Shah. The 35-year-old engineer-turned-rapper has impressed voters with his campaign to clean up the city’s waterways, while his songs have raised the issue of corruption and inequality in the Himalayan nation.

Protests have to evolve beyond the streets and into the places where power rests and policies are made. Demands should focus not simply on toppling corrupt politicians or torching government buildings, but on reforming courts, electoral commissions and creating independent watchdogs. Movements rooted solely among students or young people risk petering out after the anger fades. Building viable political parties or coalitions that can credibly contest elections is essential.

The Arab Spring offers sobering lessons. More than a decade ago, youthful revolts toppled governments from Tunisia to Egypt and Libya, but the movement collapsed and ended with worsening repression in parts of the region.

Protesting can be thrilling and a bit addictive — but it alone cannot be the endgame. Otherwise, this generation risks squandering its opportunity for change. Burned buildings and trashed department stores would only ensure the same power structures return, with a vengeance.

MAJOR SURPRISE:  Julia Paternain of Uruguay said that she had no idea that she had finished third when she crossed the line, as she was ‘too scared to look’ back

Peres Jepchirchir yesterday edged Tigst Assefa in a thrilling sprint finish at Tokyo’s National Stadium to win the women’s marathon on a steamy second morning of the World Athletics Championships.

The 31-year-old Kenyan, who won Olympic gold on the streets of Sapporo in 2021, broke the tape at 2 hours, 24 minutes and 43 seconds, just two seconds ahead of Paris silver medalist Assefa of Ethiopia.

The Olympic marathon was moved to Sapporo three years ago because of the stifling heat of the Japanese capital, and Jepchirchir said she had been surprised to have the energy for the final kick that won her gold after such a grueling race.

“The humidity was so high, and I did not know it would be so hot,” she told reporters. “It was not my ultimate plan to sprint in the final meters, but ... I found some hidden energy there. I was so exhausted coming to the stadium, stepping on the track. So exhausted, but I sprinted for it.”

While East African dominance of the top two steps of the podium was expected, Julia Paternain sprung a major surprise, for herself as much as anyone, when she finished third in 2:27.23 to give Uruguay its first world championship medal.

The 25-year-old, who was raised in England and qualifies to run for Uruguay through her parents, said she had no idea that she had finished third in only her second marathon when she crossed the line.

“I really could not believe it. I had no idea where I was. I knew I was top eightish. I was too scared to look behind me, because I didn’t want to get caught,” she said. “I love being able to run for Uruguay. My whole family is from there. It’s a small country, but there’s a lot of pride.”

In other action yesterday morning, the main title contenders in the women’s 100m hurdles and hammer throw progressed through heats and qualification, but former Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen failed to get through the first round of the 1,500m.

The Norwegian, beaten into silver in the last two world finals, finished eighth in his heat on the back of a preparation hampered by an Achilles injury.

“It’s a first-time experience that I haven’t got to the next round,” Ingebrigtsen said. “Of course, it’s very disappointing, but at the same time it is a reality check.”

Ingebrigtsen said he still hoped to challenge for a third successive world 5,000m title.

“I think I’m probably closer for the 5,000m right now,” he said. “I’ll recover and have a couple of good days until I go again and try again. Everything is a test.”

Jamaica’s defending champion Danielle Williams was the quickest in the women’s hurdles heats in 12.40 seconds while Olympic champion Masai Russell, her fellow American Grace Stark, world record holder Tobi Amusan and Dutchwoman Nadine Visser all got safely through to today’s semi-finals.

World and Olympic champion Camryn Rogers led the way in hammer qualifying with a throw of 77.62m.

“In the final, everyone is going to bring their A game. It will be a long-throw final,” Rogers said. “That’s what everyone is looking forward to. This is what we train for. I am excited to get in there and get my mark.”

Taiwan’s men’s baseball team yesterday took home a bronze medal in the World Baseball Softball Confederation’s U-18 Baseball World Cup, after clinching a nail-biting 3-2 victory over South Korea following an overturned call in the tournament held in Okinawa, Japan.

With the score tied 2-2 in the top of the seventh, Taiwanese catcher Jiang Ting-yi drove in the game-winning run with a two-out single, sending home third-baseman Zeng Sheng-en.

Zeng was originally ruled out. However, Taiwan asked for a review. The play was overturned and ruled an obstruction, as the umpire determined that the South Korean catcher had blocked Zeng’s path to the home plate without possession of the ball.

Reliever Su Lan-hong retired the final three South Korean batters in the bottom of the inning to hold on for the win.

The victory gave Taiwan their eighth bronze medal in the U-18 Baseball World Cup, which features players aged 16 to 18, since the tournament was first held in 1981.

Taiwan manager Liao Hung-yuan told reporters following the victory that the whole team were doing their best defensively and offensively. He gave high praise to all his players for showing strong determination to win.

Jiang, who delivered the game-winning RBI single, told reporters that he was not particularly nervous despite it being a clutch moment, as he had faced similar pressure before.

“With a runner in scoring position, I did not think the pitcher would throw me a fastball, so I focused instead on hitting a breaking ball,” he said.

Taiwan are three-time champions at the tournament and last won gold in 2019.

The bronze medal match yesterday morning was a back-and-forth game.

South Korea designated hitter Kim Geon-whi smacked a solo home run off Taiwan’s starter Liu Jen-yu in the bottom of the second inning, giving the South Korean team an early 1-0 lead.

Coming from behind, Taiwan managed to tie the score at 1-1 before taking a 2-1 lead with three hits in the top of the fifth. The resilient South Korean team later tied the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the sixth on a walk, a stolen base and a timely hit by Kim.

Meanwhile, the US defeated hosts Japan 2-0 in the final.

The standings for this year’s U-18 from fifth to 12th place are: Puerto Rico, Panama, Cuba, Australia, Italy, Germany, China and South Africa.

Captain Vijay Kumar led the way yesterday as the Hsinchu Titans claimed the Taiwan Premier League title at the Yingfeng Cricket Ground in Taipei’s Songshan District (松山), beating PCCT by 27 runs.

The weather was a topic again, but not the rain that played a role in previous matches in the often-delayed tournament.

Kumar, who made 80 not out from 63 deliveries, and teammate Vishwajit Kumar (58 from 43) rescued the Titans from a precarious state at the end of the power play in the T20 match. The visitors were put in to bat and struggled to 26-3 as PCCT bowler Shahzad Khan (2/24) contained the top order before the fielding restrictions were eased after six overs.

However, Kumar and Tawar each blasted five sixes before Tawar was run out on the final ball of the innings.

“The power play was difficult, but I stuck to my game, and it got easier as the innings went on,” Kumar said. “Very good partnership with Vicky [Tawar].”

The Titans’ 158-4 looked a long way off when PCCT fell to 11-5 in just four overs, but Khan (27), Shuib Meer (38) and Usman Javed (29) put them within striking range of pulling off an unlikely comeback win.

The potential rally was made a necessity by the Titans’ Nitish Gangwar, who shattered the run chase with five wickets for 17 runs, including the scalps of Khan and Javed.

PCCT opener Asif Tanoli — whose son Muhammad Zaman Tanoli was a key member of Taipei’s Tung-Yuan Little League baseball team who went undefeated on their way to victory representing Taiwan at the Little League Baseball World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, late last month — said that a change in the weather might have played a role in the final.

“The wind switched when the Titans began bowling. Also, it was very hot for our bowlers, but cooled off in the second innings,” said Tanoli, who made 4.

“Also, we played bad shots,” he added.

Gangwar was more blunt about his performance with the ball in hand.

“My team needed those wickets, so I got them,” he said as he accepted the award for best bowler of the tournament.

Rain had played a major role in the early stages of the 10-team tournament. The first match was completed early last year, but too many were rained out to finish all of them in one summer.

Former representative to Turkey Yaser Cheng, chairman of the Taipei Grand Mosque Foundation, was the special guest at the closing ceremony.

“Taiwan is a baseball country, but it is amazing to see a cricket event so well done in Taipei,” Cheng said. “We need to see more of it, so keep going.”

The organizers of the tournament said: “We would really want to thank all the 10 teams who participated, ground staff who relentlessly worked to make the ground ready despite unfavorable weather conditions and all the officials and supporters who made this tournament a success.”

In Saturday’s semi-finals, the Titans stormed into the final by outplaying Formosa, winning by eight wickets, while PCCT had only slightly more difficulty overcoming the Taiwan Stars, chasing down their 114 all out with nearly five overs to spare.

The next cricketing event on the calendar is the Teachers’ Day Kids’ Cricket event on Sept. 29 at the Yingfeng Cricket Ground. Details for those wanting to enter a team are online at www.taiwancricket.com under the “kids’ cricket” links.

Terence Crawford on Saturday clinched a unanimous victory over Saul “Canelo” Alvarez of Mexico to become the undisputed super middleweight champion in a thrilling contest at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Crawford set the pace from the start with a measured display that showcased his incredible hand speed and precise footwork, as the judges scored the fight 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113 in favor of the American.

The victory made Crawford the first male boxer to be crowned an undisputed champion in three different weight classes.

“I’m not here by coincidence. Canelo is a great champion, I have to take my hat off to him. He’s a great competitor, and I have great respect for him. He fought like a champion,” said Crawford, who was in tears after his win was announced.

Asked if he would fight again, he said: “I don’t know, I have to sit down with my team, and we’ll talk about it.”

“I want to say thank you to all the supporters and the haters. I appreciate you all. Shout out to my fans and those supporting Canelo. We get to go home to our children,” he added.

With Alvarez and Crawford both having been recognized as the world’s top pound-for-pound boxers in the past, the fight always promised to be a boxing master class.

The pair delivered an entertaining battle that had the more than 70,000 people in attendance and millions on Netflix watching with bated breath throughout the 12-round showcase.

Crawford, a former undisputed champion at both light welterweight and welterweight, as well as a four-division world champion, stepped up two weight classes for the bout.

He tipped the scales at a career-high 75.98kg at the weigh-in on Friday, exactly the same as Alvarez, but that step-up did not appear to affect his mobility.

Keenly aware of his opponent’s superior power, Crawford was the better boxer for much of the bout and expertly neutralized Alvarez’s offence with a treacherous balancing act.

The 37-year-old maintained his distance as he flitted in and out of danger, landing flurries of blows on his opponent. The attritional assault by the smaller boxer put Alvarez on the back foot.

The Mexican champion connected with a few body shots early on, but after being outboxed throughout the first half, he threw caution to the wind and retaliated with brute force in search of a knockout.

If anything, Crawford only grew in confidence, landing devastating combinations and absorbing any punches that sneaked through his guard as he improved his record to 42-0 (31 KOs) and kept his remarkable unbeaten streak alive.

For Alvarez, there was pride even in defeat.

“I’m a winner for being here. The fact I’m here makes me a winner. I take risks, and that’s what I did,” he said. “I feel great to share the ring with great fighters like him. If we do it again, then it’ll be great. I already accomplished a lot in boxing. My legacy is already there, and I like taking risks, because I love boxing.”

Juventus sit level on points with SSC Napoli at the top of Italian Serie A on Saturday after a thrilling 4-3 win over Inter as both teams continued their perfect starts to the new season with the UEFA Champions League set to begin.

A stunning strike in stoppage time of the “Derby of Italy” from teenage substitute Vasilije Adzic put Juve on nine points from their first three matches, behind on goal difference from Napoli, who cruised to a 3-1 win at Fiorentina with new boy Rasmus Hojlund on the scoresheet.

Midfielder Adzic, who made his debut for Montenegro in June, had come on for Teun Koopmeiners not long before Khephren Thuram leveled the scores at three each in the 83rd minute and let fly with a rocket of a shot which squirmed through Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer’s fingers.

“What can I say, it’s a dream to play and score such a hugely important goal for Juve,” Adzic said. “I can only thank the coach and the staff for showing faith in me and bringing me on in such a big game.”

Adzic’s strike overshadowed the contribution from France’s Thuram brothers who netted for each team.

Marcus Thuram headed Inter deservedly 3-2 ahead in the 76th minute after Hakan Calhanoglu twice drew the away team level with superb long-range strikes of his own.

Under the gaze of their iconic father, Lilian Thuram, who watched on from the Allianz Stadium stands, Khephren Thuram then nodded Juve level and set the stage for Adzic’s powerful strike, which have the Turin giants a huge boost ahead of tomorrow’s visit of Borussia Dortmund.

“It was a crazy match, loads of goals and end-to-end, and we’re really happy to get a win against such a good team that has really great players,” Juventus coach Igor Tudor said.

Inter are stuck on three points after a second straight defeat under novice coach Cristian Chivu, who replaced Simone Inzaghi in the summer even though his only previous elite coaching experience was a handful of matches in charge of Parma last season.

Chivu’s team spent large chunks of the match dictating the play in what is traditionally the biggest fixture of Inter’s season — even more important than the Milan derby.

“You have to look at the performance, and the fact that we came here and played with personality, try to win the match and not settle for any other result,” said Chivu, whose team next travel to Ajax.

Napoli warmed up for their clash at Manchester City on Thursday with a powerful display in Florence which strengthened their status as the team to beat in Italy.

The champions were two goals ahead within 14 minutes in Florence, with Kevin De Bruyne smashing home a penalty and Hojlund expertly guiding home from Leonardo Spinazzola’s pass on his debut.

Hojlund looked a completely different player to the one who flopped at Manchester United as Napoli threatened to run riot amid the jeers of an unhappy home crowd.

Napoli were assured of the win five minutes after half-time when Andre-Frank Anguissa, who won the penalty De Bruyne scored ahead of his return to Manchester, pushed a flick-on at a corner back into the path of Beukema who tapped in from close range.

REMEMBRANCE:  The interim leader held a minute of silence for those killed in the two days of unrest, which claimed the lives of at least 72 people and injured 191

Nepal’s new leader yesterday vowed to follow protesters’ demands to “end corruption” as she began work as interim prime minister, after “Gen Z” youth demonstrations ousted her predecessor.

Nepalese Interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki, the 73-year-old former chief justice, has been tasked with restoring order and addressing protesters’ demands for a corruption-free future ahead of elections in six months.

Protests began on Monday last week sparked by a ban on social media and quickly escalated, with parliament and key government buildings set ablaze, as they fed into long-standing economic woes in Nepal.

“We have to work according to the thinking of the Gen Z generation,” Karki said in her first public comments since taking office on Friday last week.

One-fifth of people in Nepal aged 15 to 24 are unemployed, according to the World Bank, with GDP per capita standing at just US$1,447.

“What this group is demanding is end of corruption, good governance and economic equality,” she added. “You and I have to be determined to fulfil that.”

Karki yesterday held a minute’s silence for those killed in the unrest, before meetings began in the key government complex of Singha Durbar — where several buildings were set on fire during mass protests on Tuesday last week.

At least 72 people were killed in two days of protests, and 191 injured, Nepalese Chief Secretary Eaknarayan Aryal said yesterday, increasing an earlier toll of 51.

It was the worst unrest since the end of a decade-long civil war and the abolition of the monarchy in 2008.

The appointment of Karki, known for her independence, came after intense negotiations by army chief General Ashok Raj Sigdel and Nepalese President Ram Chandra Paudel with representatives of “Gen Z,” the loose umbrella title of the youth protest movement.

Thousands of young activists used the Discord app to name Karki as their choice of leader.

“The situation that I have come in, I have not wished to come here. My name was brought from the streets,” Karki said.

Parliament has been dissolved and elections set for March 5 next year.

“We will not stay here more than six months in any situation, we will complete our responsibilities and pledge to hand over to the next parliament and ministers,” she added.

Workers put up a new signboard for the prime minister’s office in a building within the complex, but which was not torched.

Paudel, who swore Karki into office, said late on Saturday that “a peaceful solution has been found through a difficult process.”

Paudel called it a “very difficult, complicated, and grave situation” in the Himalayan nation of 30 million people.

“I sincerely appeal to everyone to make the most of this opportunity... in making the election on March 5 a success,” he said.

Soldiers have scaled back their presence on the streets, where they had been deployed in large numbers after the protests.

But more than 12,500 prisoners who escaped from jails during the chaos are on the run, and present a daunting security headache.

Regional leaders have congratulated Karki, including Nepal’s two giant neighbors, India and China.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said New Delhi supported “peace, progress and prosperity” in Hindu-majority Nepal, while Beijing’s foreign ministry said it wanted to “push China-Nepal relations steadily forward.”

Buddhism is the country’s second-largest religion, and the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, wished Karki “every success in fulfilling the hopes and aspirations of the people of Nepal in these challenging times.”

title: Israeli army raids Palestinian director’s home

content_text:
Palestinian Oscar-winning director Basel Adra said Israeli soldiers conducted a raid at his home in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, searching for him and going through his wife’s phone.

Israeli settlers attacked his village, injuring two of his brothers and one cousin, Adra told The Associated Press. He accompanied them to the hospital. While there, he said that he heard from family in the village that nine Israeli soldiers had stormed his home.

The soldiers asked his wife, Suha, for his whereabouts and went through her phone while his nine-month-old daughter was home. They also briefly detained one of his uncles, he said.

Adra spent the night outside the village, unable to get home and check on his family because soldiers were blocking the village entrance and he was scared of being detained, he said.

Israel’s military said soldiers were in the village after Palestinians had thrown rocks, injuring two Israeli civilians. It said its forces were still in the village, searching the area and questioning people.

Adra said settlers attacked the Palestinians on their land and denied throwing rocks or seeing anyone from the village do so.

Videos filmed by Adra’s cousin showed settlers attacking a man Adra identified as his brother, Adam Adra, who was hospitalized with bruising to his left hand, elbow and chest, according to hospital records.

In another video, a settler chases a solidarity activist through an olive grove, tackling her to the ground.

Adra has spent his career as a journalist and filmmaker chronicling settler violence in Masafer Yatta, the southern reaches of the West Bank where he was born. After settlers attacked his codirector, Hamdan Ballal, in March, he said that he felt they were being targeted more intensely since winning the Oscar.

He described Saturday’s events as “horrific.”

“Even if you are just filming the settlers, the army comes and chases you, searches your house,” he said. “The whole system is built to attack us, to terrify us, to make us very scared.”

Another codirector, Yuval Abraham, said he was “terrified for Basel.”

“What happened today in his village, we’ve seen this dynamic again and again, where the Israeli settlers brutally attack a Palestinian village and later on the army comes, and attacks the Palestinians,” he said.

No Other Land, which won an Oscar this year for best documentary, depicts the struggle by residents of the Masafer Yatta area to stop the Israeli military from demolishing their villages. Ballal and Adra made the joint Palestinian-Israeli production with Israeli directors Abraham and Rachel Szor.

Israel has built more than 100 settlements, home to more than 500,000 settlers who have Israeli citizenship. The 3 million Palestinians in the West Bank live under seemingly open-ended Israeli military rule, with the Western-backed Palestinian Authority administering population centers.

During the war in Gaza, Israel has killed hundreds of Palestinians in the West Bank during wide-scale military operations, and there has also been a rise in settler attacks on Palestinians.


title: Australia to spend US$8 billion on submarine facilities

content_text:
Australia is to spend an initial A$12 billion (US$8 billion) to upgrade shipyard facilities for a future fleet of nuclear-powered submarines, the Australian government said yesterday.

The investment is to be spent over a decade to transform a shipbuilding and maintenance precinct in Perth, Western Australia, Australian Minister for Defence Richard Marles said.

The government is ploughing money into Perth’s Henderson Defence Precinct after signing the 2021 AUKUS pact with the UK and the US to arm its navy with nuclear-powered submarines.

The shipyard development is part of a major military restructure to improve Australia’s long-range strike capabilities in the face of China’s expanding military strength across the Pacific.

Australia, which has no infrastructure to service nuclear-powered submarines, aims to acquire at least three US Virginia-class submarines within 15 years and eventually to manufacture its own subs.

“Henderson is very much an AUKUS project. It is where we will do sustainment and maintenance of our future submarines,” Marles told a news conference.

“I have got no doubt this decision will be welcomed in the United States, as it will be welcomed in the United Kingdom, because it is another step down the AUKUS path,” the minister said.

The decision was based on Australia’s own assessment of the “strategic landscape” it faces and the defense force it needs “to meet that moment,” he said.

The investment would help equip Henderson with high-security dry docks to maintain nuclear-powered submarines, as well as facilities to build landing craft and eventually Japanese Mogami-class frigates, Marles said.

The US is also expected to use the shipyard for maintenance of its own nuclear-powered submarines.

Total costs to develop the Henderson Defence Precinct could eventually reach an estimated A$25 billion, the minister said.

The shipyard expansion is the latest in a string of high-profile Australian defense upgrades.

Australia last month announced it would equip its navy with 11 Mogami-class frigates built by Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

Australia would pay A$10 billion over the next 10 years to acquire the stealth frigates as it aims to expand its fleet of major warships from 11 to 26 over the next decade. The first three frigates would be built overseas, but Australia hopes to produce the rest in Western Australia.

Last week, the Australian government said it would deploy a A$1.7 billion fleet of “Ghost Shark” underwater attack drones, with the first expected to enter service in January.

Thousands attend UK far-right rally, clash with police

A London march organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson drew more than 110,000 people and became unruly on Saturday as a small group of his supporters clashed with police officers who were separating them from counter-protesters.

Several officers were punched, kicked and struck by bottles tossed by people at the fringes of the “Unite the Kingdom” rally, London Metropolitan Police said.

Reinforcements with helmets and riot shields were deployed to support the 1,000-plus officers on duty.

Twenty-six police officers were injured — four who were seriously hurt, including broken teeth and a concussion, a possible broken nose and a spinal injury.

At least 25 people were arrested for offenses including violent disorder, assaults and criminal damage, and the investigation continues, police said.

“There is no doubt that many came to exercise their lawful right to protest, but there were many who came intent on violence,” Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist said. “They confronted officers, engaging in physical and verbal abuse and making a determined effort to breach cordons in place to keep everyone safe.”

The rally drew an estimated crowd of between 110,000 and 150,000 people, far surpassing expectations, police said.

The rival “March Against Fascism” protest organized by Stand Up To Racism had about 5,000 marchers.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, founded the nationalist and anti-Islam English Defense League and is one of the most influential far-right figures in the UK.

The march was billed as a demonstration in support of free speech — with much of the rhetoric by influencers and several far-right politicians from across Europe aimed largely at the alleged perils of migration.

“We are both subject to the same process of the great replacement of our European people by peoples coming from the south and of Muslim culture, you and we are being colonized by our former colonies,” far-right French politician Eric Zemmour said.

Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO and owner of the X platform who has waded into British politics several times this year, was beamed in by video and condemned the left-leaning British government.

“There’s something beautiful about being British and what I see happening here is a destruction of Britain, initially a slow erosion, but rapidly increasing erosion of Britain with massive uncontrolled migration,” he said.

Robinson told the crowd in a hoarse voice that migrants now had more rights in court than the “British public, the people that built this nation.”

Participants in the march carried the red-and-white flag of England and the union jack, the state flag of the UK, and chanted “we want our country back.”

Supporters held signs saying “stop the boats,” “send them home,” and “enough is enough, save our children.”

At the counter-protest, the crowd held signs saying “refugees welcome” and “smash the far right,” and shouted “stand up, fight back.”

The marches had been mostly peaceful, but toward the late afternoon, “Unite the Kingdom” supporters threw items at the rival rally and tried to break through barriers set up to separate the groups, police said.

Officers had to use force to keep a crowd-control fence from being breached.

While the crowd was large, it fell far short of the one of the biggest recent marches when a pro-Palestinian rally drew an estimated 300,000 people in November 2023.

Robinson had planned a “Unite the Kingdom” rally last October, but could not attend after being jailed for contempt of court for violating a 2021 High Court order barring him from repeating libelous allegations against a Syrian refugee who successfully sued him. He previously served jail time for assault and mortgage fraud.

Official indifference to environmental destruction, apparent collusion between businesses and government and minimal oversight by firms could spell long-term disaster for the DPP — and the nation

Last week the story of the giant illegal crater dug in Kaohsiung’s Meinong District (美濃) emerged into the public consciousness. The site was used for sand and gravel extraction, and then filled with construction waste. Locals referred to it sardonically as the “Meinong Grand Canyon,” according to media reports, because it was 2 hectares in length and 10 meters deep. The land involved included both state-owned and local farm land.

Local media said that the site had generated NT$300 million in profits, against fines of a few million and the loss of some excavators.

OFFICIAL CORRUPTION?

The site had been seized in March of this year, according to the Chinese-language United Daily News, with fines issued previously in January. However, the prosecutor’s office launched an investigation only last month, suggesting that the site had continued operations. Indeed, a local Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) politician said that she had been alerted to it by complaints from locals in July, though critics noted that she waited until after the investigation to appear at the site.

It is difficult to imagine how this site was able to function without official corruption. Land development is widely monitored by satellite. A few years ago a friend of mine hung a tarp over his picnic table on the east coast and the land office had people out within days to see what his “illegal structure” was. They had spotted the tarp on a satellite image. Moreover, the local Economic Development Bureau said that since 2022 it had found numerous pits in the Meinong area backfilled with construction waste, meaning that its officials were criss-crossing the area. Residents had long complained about the noise and damage caused by the machinery and trucks. The complaints, like so many others, had fallen on deaf ears.

Last week also saw another round in the ongoing struggle over water supplies to the subsidy-guzzling, tariff-protected Mailiao Industrial Complex in Yunlin, operated by Formosa Plastics. The ostensible policy goal of the massive petrochemical complex was to make Taiwan self-sufficient in petrochemical products.

The government originally intended that the site was to develop its own independent water supply, but that was never carried out. Instead, for 30 years the petrochemical plants have drawn 100 million tons of water annually from the Jhuoshuei River (濁水溪), at prices of around a third of normal water market prices (the entire Hsinchu science park demands around 52 million tons of water annually).

Furthermore, as a nifty discussion of the issues at News and Market observes, the government also poured millions of taxpayer dollars into constructing the Jiji Weir (集集攔河堰) in Nantou County and its associated pipelines for Mailiao, which it then uses to provide the company below-cost water.

The ruthless plundering of the river’s water to subsidize the complex has forced local farmers to mine groundwater, even though the river no longer replenishes local aquifers. This results in large-scale subsidence in the area (13 of 20 townships have subsidence problems), and the burning of fossil fuels to drive the pumps. Though it has no water rights during the dry season from February to May, it continues to draw water from the river, purchased from the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ Bureau of Industrial Parks.

By law, farmers have the highest water priority. A 2016 journal article on water use per capita in Yunlin observed that “Yunlin County faces more water resource-related difficulties than any other county in Taiwan.”

A desalination plant to supply the petrochemical complex is supposed to begin operation this month. It had been slated for completion in 2022, but Formosa Plastics asked for three extensions until April next year. The company was fined a pitiful NT$300,000 by the Ministry of Environment. However, environmental groups remain skeptical that the plant will generate the planned 100,000 tons of water per day, and accuse Formosa Plastics of dragging its feet in constructing the facility. They also point out that as long as the plant can obtain cheap water from the river, it has no incentive to complete the desalination facility.

Finally, last week environmental groups also criticized the Ministry of Environment after it released the list of newly appointed Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) committee members. Of the 14 appointees, half of whom were carried over from the previous term, nine have an environmental engineering background, and one has a background in ocean engineering, Air Clean Taiwan founder Yeh Guang-perng (葉光芃) observed in a Taipei Times report. Only two of the appointees had backgrounds in ecology, the fewest in committee history, Taiwan Academy of Ecology director Yang Kuo-cheng (楊國禎) added. The groups also complained that several of the appointees were known for backing controversial projects and turning a deaf ear to complaints.

The common thread to all these stories is the same: official indifference to environmental destruction, apparent collusion between businesses and government, especially local government, and minimal or complete evasion of oversight by firms. All over long periods of time, across different administrations and political parties. Anyone who reads the news can see that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has largely continued, rather than ended, longstanding extractive policies that originated under the KMT.

The people who live with this government-approved and facilitated looting of local wealth and resources are largely residents of long-time DPP areas. Yunlin is a DPP fief. The reason the south is pan-Green is because during the years of KMT rule it was treated as a colony of Taipei, its resources extracted and the wealth of its farmers transferred to the KMT government. Indeed, former president Lee Teng-hui’s (李登輝) doctoral thesis in agricultural economics at Cornell explores the extractive agricultural policies of the KMT government and presents an implicit critique of its rule as even more extractive than Japanese colonial rule. The result has been two generations of farmers in the south who don’t vote KMT at the national level.

LOSING VOTERS

All that could easily be lost. Why did the DPP see many longtime voters switching to the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) in the last election? It has become a center-right establishment party in cahoots with business. The list of appointees to the EIA committee mentioned above are a formal signal of its commitment to big business.

Another nine-in-one election is inbound. It should be obvious that the DPP needs to swing back towards the combination of social justice and economic nationalism that drove the party’s incorporation of voters for two decades after 1996. If the DPP wants to remain in power, it needs to go back to its roots.

Even more urgently, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) threat looms. Recent research by Wu Wen-chin (吳文欽) of the Academia Sinica Institute of Political Science shows that as Taiwan’s income inequality worsens, citizens’ willingness to fight for the nation declines.

The DPP’s rightward drift is impairing the party’s ability to win elections by chasing off voters, while reducing Taiwanese’ attachment to their country. Not just bad politics, it is a threat to the nation’s security.

記者張靖榕／綜合報導

台灣民眾黨前主席柯文哲因京華城案，日前以7000萬元交保，不過經台灣高等法院裁定撤銷，案件發回北院更裁。北院將於今（15）日上午10時開庭審理，柯文哲與同樣被撤銷交保的台北市議員應曉薇上午9時就會向法警室報到，是否重回收押，最快今天將揭曉。

法界指出，柯交保遭撤後，理論上已恢復收押狀態，因此需報到待命。合議庭裁定出爐前，柯可能被留置，若今日未裁定，恐被暫押至明日再開庭。民眾黨的小草們今將集結北院外聲援，民眾黨黨公職也會到場力挺。

柯文哲因涉案去年底起遭羈押，歷經抗告攻防後，8日交保出庭並批司法濫權，引發關注；北檢當晚反駁，指柯言論損及司法公信，並提出抗告。北檢指出，柯與證人接觸、公開喊話、社群發文不當等行為，顯示仍有串證之虞；高院也認為北院一個月前仍裁定延押，如今卻認定滅證疑慮降低，理由矛盾。原裁定中未明確界定不得接觸對象，高院認為有必要再加釐清。

國民黨立委吳宗憲表示，柯應不會再收押，且高院理由書所提「證人接觸」疑點，牽涉者如民眾黨立院黨團主任陳智菡，實為偵查階段證人，不在審理範圍，對柯不構成不利因素。

針對「黨證無敵」說法，前法官錢建榮指出，民進黨議員陳怡君能以100萬元交保，關鍵在於她運氣好，抽到高院重視人權的法官林孟皇。他直言，重視憲法的法官仍稀有，法官素質比黨籍更影響司法結果。

另外，民眾黨830走讀行動與警方爆發衝突，警方要求立委黃國昌今日上午10時到案說明，但因與柯的庭期撞期，若黃未現身，警方將函送北檢偵辦。

記者陳俊宏／綜合報導

民眾黨前主席柯文哲捲入京華城案，原先的7000萬元交保被高院裁定撤銷，發回台北地院更裁，北院將於今天上午10時重新召開羈押庭。對此，律師劉韋廷分析三種可能結果，包括再度羈押、提高保金、維持原裁定。

劉韋廷在臉書發文分析，法院可能出現三種劇本：

1、再度羈押

高等法院的發回裁定認為，現在審判中還有證人還沒有問，還有串證問題，因此撤銷發回地院重新審理。如果地方法院依照高等法院看法，最嚴重的狀況就是再度收押，這對柯文哲來說，等於要重返看守所，政治與健康壓力會再升高。

2、提高保金

法院也可能認為，原本的7000萬金額不足以確保被告不逃亡或不串證，選擇調高保金，就可以防止柯文哲可能串證的行為。這是一種折衷方案，讓柯繼續在外，但得繳更多金額，來「確保出庭與遵守規範」。

3、維持原裁定

如果法院判斷目前狀況並沒有新變化，保釋條件已經足夠，則可能維持原裁定，不做更動。並在裁定中說明清楚為什麼部分證人訊問完畢，就算還有證人還沒問，柯文哲串證風險很低。

台北地院5日裁准柯文哲7000萬、應曉薇3000萬交保。高院12日撤銷發回更裁，理由是北院合議庭交保裁定判斷有無勾串之虞的對象，為何僅限京華城案貪污情節，沒包括政治獻金案公益侵占、背信案情的證人。

高院提到，且北院今年7月21日裁定柯、應第3度延押，理由包括尚有部分證人待出庭作證、不排除有勾串滅證之虞，為何延押僅1個月，就認為勾串滅證可能性已大幅降低，「實難謂無前後矛盾及理由欠備之不當」。

title: 大谷翔平季後賽定位仍是先發？羅伯斯揭轉任救援隱憂

content_text:
▲大谷翔平。（圖／達志影像／美聯社）

記者王真魚／綜合報導

大谷翔平的投手使用方式，正在道奇隊內部掀起激烈討論。今天賽前，道奇總教練羅伯斯（Dave Roberts）出席記者會。當《洛杉磯時報》隨隊記者哈里斯（Jack Harris）問及「16日週二大谷先發，是否與季後賽開打時間有關」時，羅伯斯笑著回應：「哈哈哈，Jack，我們現在的重點是如何度過下一個系列戰。」

羅伯斯承認，內部確實討論過大谷以救援身份登板的可能性。他表示，「一旦把他派上投手丘，就會失去DH，等於同時也失去打者大谷。要有承擔這種風險的覺悟。我們還沒試過，但確實有過討論。」由於大谷曾在WBC有過後援登板經驗，因此若真要實行，可能會是季後賽的「突擊戰術」。

大谷預計於16日（台灣時間17日）在主場對戰費城人先發登板。之後在例行賽中還會再先發一次，接下來就是迎接季後賽。羅伯斯表示，隨著季後賽進行，情況或許會有所變化，「但現階段我們是把他當作先發來規劃的。」

至於若非先發，而是以打者（DH）身份出賽、比賽中途改以救援登板的方案，羅伯斯認為存在缺點，「按照現行規則，如果中途讓他投球，就會失去DH資格，他也無法再以打者身份上場。這應該還會有更多討論，但目前我們並沒有那樣的使用計畫。」

▲道奇總教練羅伯斯。（圖／路透）

現階段，山本由伸、史奈爾（Blake Snell）、葛拉斯諾（Tyler Glasnow）是道奇季後賽的主要先發人選。不過，史奈爾和葛拉斯諾在季後賽的實績不盡理想。

史奈爾12場登板，從未投滿6局，防禦率3.33葛拉斯諾；10場登板，僅2場超過6局，防禦率高達5.72。雖然兩人有大合約加持，幾乎確定先發，但能否扛下重任，仍是隱憂。

而道奇本季最大問題在於牛棚。原本倚賴的史考特（Tanner Scott）、耶茲（Yates）、崔南（Kirby Yates）表現不如預期；年輕投手亨利奎茲（Edgardo Henriquez）、羅布雷斯基（Justin Wrobleski）、德雷爾（Steve Dreyer）雖有進步，卻缺乏季後賽經驗。球隊缺少絕對終結者，讓教練團在季後賽前最為苦惱。

這樣的背景下，復出後能連飆100英里火球的大谷，以救援身份登板的確極具吸引力。但現行規則下，他一旦投球，就無法再繼續以打者身份參戰。球隊必須在「保留打者大谷」和「緊急救火投手大谷」之間，做出兩難抉擇。

屋漏偏逢連夜雨，累計虧損逾4,300億元的台電，上週二（9日）發生高雄興達火力發電廠爆炸案，是否影響電力供應引發各界關注。除虧損、電力供應問題外，台電近期也爆出標案爭議，本刊接獲廠商陳情，指控台電去年底通過台中到通霄的海底輸氣管線標案，因採取最有利標，讓預算暴增65億元，導致要多付出21%的工程款，等於讓虧損雪上加霜、全民買單。但台電強調，採價格標也會有廠商倒閉風險，寧願用合理價格，讓工程如期完工。

「截至今年6月底為止，台電累計虧損高達4,369億元，是台電財務上的最大問題，希望行政、立法機構能一起考慮，透過政府編列預算支持，填補4千多億元的財務黑洞。」上（8）月25日，台電董事長曾文生憂心忡忡地對媒體表示。

據台電公布資料顯示，從2022年開始，台電每年都處於虧損狀態，至2024年累計虧損就超過4,200億元，負債比超過9成，如果財務問題未能改善，將面臨破產窘境。

就在各界關注台電虧損是否因錯誤的能源政策導致，甚至需要調漲電價挽救破產問題之際，近日卻有參與台電標案廠商向本刊投訴，去年底台電截標台中到苗栗通霄的海底輸氣管線標案，竟爆發把門檻資格訂得太高，導致參與競標業者有限，欠缺競爭機制，最後得標金額竟比預算足足高出65億元。

台電這項「台中到通霄海底輸氣管線工程」，是政府希望降低燃煤發電比例，將天然氣作為基載發電能源，除了在桃園觀塘興建第3座天然氣接收站（三接），為配合「通霄電廠二期更新改建計畫」而興建的兩條36吋海底天然氣輸氣管線工程，旨在將台中港天然氣接收站的天然氣直接供應至通霄發電廠的燃氣機組，以確保發電用氣穩定，讓全台的天然氣供應系統更具韌性。

「這次台中到通宵的海底輸氣管線標案，存在許多不合理，一開始標案遭到歐洲供應商Boskails的影響與操控，導致門檻限制狹窄，投標業者不足導致標案4次流標，雖然台電放寬資格標準，讓更多業者參與，沒想到截標時，預算從304億元調高到369億元。」投訴業者不滿地說。

這位業者更直言：「台電都虧成這樣，出門還要坐勞斯萊斯，這樣對嗎？為何要多花這麼多錢？照理說，工程金額如此龐大，理應開放多家廠商參與競標，由報價最低者得標，但前4次卻僅1、2家廠商參與，只能流標，最終預算爆增21％，明顯看出台電招標程序，與標案金額都受特定廠商干擾。」

該業者更以今年6月中油進行的「永安到台中的第2條海底輸氣管線工程」標案為例，「中油把資格標大幅開放，在多家業者參與競標後，不但一次就完成招標作業，4家參與的投標金額也比預算來得低，凸顯台電海底輸氣管標案的不合理。」業者搖著頭說。

投訴者坦言：「海底輸氣管線的工程，有很多廠商都符合投標資格，但是台灣在離岸風電與海事工程長期依賴歐洲技術與供應鏈，形成高度壟斷的賣方市場結構。這個結構不僅抑制競爭，也導致各類工程採購預算膨脹，政府需投入大量公帑。」他更不客氣說：「這次台電輸氣管案，如果與亞洲業者相比，採購價差可能接近百億元，卻選擇把財務壓力轉嫁全民買單，相當不可取。」

台北市不動產代銷公會理事長王明正，今年初跟民視前主播林青逸一起，把薩摩耶愛犬送到號稱全台最貴的新竹西北訓犬學苑受訓，沒想到3個月後，愛犬卻因「胃扭轉」猝逝，事件還鬧上媒體、對簿公堂。值得一提的是，薩摩耶受訓的過程中，林跟學苑聯繫，都用「我先生」稱呼王，2人探視愛犬時，互動也非常親密，就像老夫老妻，但本刊調查，王的太太另有其人，並非林，2人的曖昧情因愛犬猝逝意外曝光！

新竹的西北訓犬學苑歷史悠久，號稱全台最豪華的狗學校，藝人藍心湄、潘若迪、陳文茜及許多企業老闆的愛犬，都曾在此受訓。

▲藝人藍心湄（中）、潘若迪、郭彥均及許多企業老闆的愛犬，都曾在該學苑受訓。（圖／讀者提供／鏡週刊提供）

知情人士A先生告訴本刊，今年2月，1名林小姐與王先生帶著薩摩耶到學苑諮詢，當天便由王先生繳費簽約，辦理入學。但5月中某天早上，學苑人員發現薩摩耶身體僵硬，無生命跡象，緊急聯繫林小姐，並調出小狗前晚上完廁所後返回犬舍就寢的監視器，過程中並無異狀。

▲愛犬猝逝當天，王明正、林青逸與學苑負責人一同跪地、送別小狗。（圖／讀者提供／鏡週刊提供）

飼主無法接受，要求驗屍，最後確認死因是急性「胃扭轉」，無外傷、虐待，也無毒物反應。到了7月初，有媒體報導，薩摩耶飼主J先生指控學苑過度訓練、延誤就醫，導致愛犬死亡，事後學苑負責人態度冷漠，拒絕提供監視器，還說小狗送訓前，被要求簽下霸王條款同意書，痛批訓犬學苑惡質、違反《動保法》。

A先生透露，小狗死後2天，新竹縣動保所人員二度到學苑突襲稽查，都查無疏失，動保所也調閱案發前48小時的監視器畫面與每日照護紀錄，初步認定無人為過錯。

▲王明正在不動產代銷業界十分活耀，頗具聲望。（圖／鏡週刊提供）

另名從事不動產業的飼主B小姐則說，愛犬住校訓練期間，她來探視自己的狗狗時，認出薩摩耶的飼主是台北市不動產代銷公會理事長、創意家行銷公司董事長王明正，而王每次出現，身邊都是前美女主播林青逸，2人會輪流交換牽繩、撫摸愛犬，互動親密，有幾次還帶著林的父母一起。

後來B小姐上網搜尋，卻發現王明正的妻子另有其人，王還曾與趙姓妻子連袂登上媒體，本刊求證時，學苑人員私下透露，薩摩耶登記在王名下，但受訓過程中，都由林聯繫，林也稱呼王「我先生」；小狗猝逝時，王、林一起趕來，一同悲痛跪地送別小狗，一直認為以為2人是夫妻。

林在1個月後發律師函給學苑，要求提供愛犬生前的監視影像等相關資料，學苑考量小狗登記飼主是王，回函婉拒林的請求，不久之後，部分媒體就接獲爆料、做出報導。

學苑澄清，薩摩耶入學前，都曾向王、林說明課程內容，薩摩耶接受的訓練是基本服從，且都是在有空調的室內進行，絕對沒有過度訓練。上月學苑接到法院書記官來電，詢問是否願與飼主以122萬元調解，他們尊重飼主提告，但認無疏失、金額過高，未來將配合司法調查，期盼釐清真相。

回應

針對訓犬糾紛，本刊致電、傳簡訊給王明正、林青逸查證，但二人電話皆未接聽、訊息未回覆，至截稿前，本刊尚未獲得進一步回應。

▲嘎琳捲入小三疑雲後，傳出與富商黃苡峻仍低調交往。（圖／翻攝自嘎琳IG）

圖文／鏡週刊

樂天女孩嘎琳（胡佳琳）日前陷入小三疑雲，她和富商黃苡峻傳緋聞，卻遭自稱正牌女友的網友狂嗆並po出合照證明「主位」，但嘎琳都不回應。本刊接獲消息，其實嘎琳在新聞爆出後才知富商劈腿，聲稱十幾個代言受影響恐損失上千萬元，嗲聲要富商想辦法，富商只得好生安撫，一邊給錢要「正宮」女友下架照片，就為了能繼續與嘎琳交往。

今年7月，嘎琳被拍到深夜駕車進入台北市內湖某商辦大樓，她推著行李箱進去一待就是三天，而該處正是富商黃苡峻的辦公室加停放豪車的車庫。沒想到同月底，一名自稱黃苡峻女友的女子隨即在社群公開與男方的親密合照與對話截圖，並直指嘎琳「找我男友過夜」，指控她介入感情，而該名女友的身分也曝光，是今年23歲的UP直播主蓉蓉。

富商不認帳 付錢刪照

有讀者指出，自稱正宮的直播主蓉蓉，曾接受媒體訪問，擁有32C、23、34的好身材，畢業於北科大設計科系，原本才順利任職設計公司工作不久，卻因家中經濟狀況突然轉變而接觸並加入直播行列，甚至一度因為財務危機，考慮去酒店上班！

▲蓉蓉稱要控告網友造謠她賣淫，網友貼出報導回嗆。（圖／翻攝自sj.noizzz Threads）

據悉，嘎琳被爆出是小三後，富商黃苡峻不滿向友人表示，認為直播主蓉蓉只是自己花錢的，並不認為是正牌女友，但為了安撫嘎琳，只得付錢了事，讓蓉蓉刪除社群的照片，希望事件趕快落幕。

不知情小三 暗示補償

▲聲稱是正牌女友的蓉蓉，今年才23歲，畢業於北科大。（圖／翻攝自何相蓉臉書）

嘎琳除了在不知情狀況下當了「小三」，又向富商抱怨因此影響了十幾個代言，還有廠商可能會來求償，損失上千萬元，加上工作受影響大幅減少，明示暗示地要富商想辦法。據悉，富商只好補償她，除了不對外公開兩人關係，還向朋友詢問千萬代言費是正常行情價嗎？此事也因此在豪門公子哥中傳開。

▲直播主蓉蓉（右）將她和富商黃苡峻合照po上社群，嗆聲嘎琳。（圖／翻攝自sj.noizzz Threads）

嘎琳近來逐漸恢復正常工作，但對小三疑雲始終避而不答，日前還被傳出，嘎琳拍攝廣告時，刻意避免與男主角黃信赫互動，甚至由女替身代為出鏡。據傳是因她擔心「有人吃醋」，導演也被迫分別指導兩位演員，不讓他們同場拍攝，此舉也被解讀為「有隱情」。

title: 8款換季短髮推薦！短髮中短髮趨勢一次看　自然捲、過渡期也好整理

content_text:
文／美人圈

不同於過去強調厚重或工整的線條，2025秋季的短髮趨勢以「片狀層次」與「鬆散不規則弧度」為核心，營造慵懶隨性的氛圍。這類短髮不僅適合細軟塌髮、對自然捲也非常友好，在短髮過渡期也好整理，這次就一起看看2025短髮／中短髮趨勢、以及8款短髮範本推薦，零技巧就能讓短髮造型顯得時髦不呆板！

2025短髮、中短髮注意「層次&捲度」是關鍵

2025秋天短髮的關鍵字就是「自然、輕盈、慵懶」，強調層次與弧度，不需要刻意吹整或燙捲，就能展現隨興氛圍，對細軟塌髮、自然捲來說都相當友好，短髮過渡期也好整理。

2025短髮／中短髮趨勢1：輕盈片狀層次

延續高層次熱潮，今年進化成「片狀層次」，讓髮尾有輕盈弧度感。這種層次不像傳統高層次那麼銳利，而是更自然的波紋線條，吹乾後就能呈現隨性弧度。即使沒有燙髮，也能營造空氣感，特別適合不想花太多時間整理的女生。搭配八字瀏海或法式瀏海，更能修飾顴骨與下顎角，讓臉部線條柔和小一號。

2025短髮／中短髮趨勢2：鬆散不規則捲度

2025秋天的捲度不再工整，而是「鬆散、自然、不對稱」。像羊毛捲、外翹或微亂波浪，都能營造慵懶氛圍。如果頭髮太直、太工整，反而容易顯得呆板；相反地，不規則紋理能讓造型更年輕、隨性，搭配長瀏海還能修飾臉型比例。自然捲女生更是天生適合，利用本身的紋理感就能輕鬆駕馭。

2025短髮／中短髮推薦1：高層次水母頭

這款「升級版水母頭」在髮尾加入片狀層次，保有厚度卻不笨重。它的關鍵是自然弧度線條，讓頭髮自帶空氣感，就算吹乾就出門也不會扁塌。兩側修長線條能柔化顴骨和下顎角，非常適合骨感臉或方臉。搭配輕薄瀏海能減齡，搭配旁分則更有復古氣質，是想在短髮中保留精緻感的女生必試款。

2025短髮／中短髮推薦2：破碎短髮

肩上長度配上高層次破碎線條，髮尾自然外翹，帶點俏皮的少年感。短瀏海與臉側碎髮能巧妙修飾臉型，對圓臉、嬰兒肥女孩非常友好。這款髮型整理度低，洗完吹乾就會有自然弧度，完全不用刻意造型。隨興慵懶感加上元氣氛圍，特別適合過渡期想要清爽不呆板的女生。

2025短髮／中短髮推薦3：小貓短髮

這款髮型名字取自「毛絨絨的小貓」，比鮑伯多了慵懶氛圍。臉旁的細碎層次能自然修飾臉型，髮尾帶點微翹，配上空氣感燙或自然捲，就能呈現隨性紋理。這款短髮特別適合圓臉、嬰兒肥女生，能讓五官更柔和。重點是不用特別吹整，隨手撥一撥就能有減齡效果，日常輕鬆駕馭。

2025短髮／中短髮推薦4：日系短髮公主切

將公主切與短髮結合，側邊自然的碎髮能遮蓋顴骨與兩頰，讓臉型比例被拉長，看起來更小巧。不同於厚重公主切，短髮版公主切加入層次與空氣感，讓髮絲自然落下也不顯呆板。這款造型特別適合臉型偏圓、下顎角明顯的人，簡單吹乾就有氛圍，不需過多打理。

2025短髮／中短髮推薦5：碎層次中長髮

過肩長度搭配高層次設計，髮尾自然亂翹，隨性慵懶感超強。不用刻意整理，走路、風吹就能有自然弧度，非常適合短髮過渡期或不想留太短的女生。這款髮型還能修飾臉型比例，改善頭肩比，拉長身材線條，是韓星出鏡率很高的髮型。

2025短髮／中短髮推薦6：空氣感一刀切

一刀切依舊受歡迎，但2025初秋流行的是「帶層次的一刀切」。髮尾打薄後，讓整體輕盈有空氣感，不會像傳統一刀切那樣厚重。細軟髮或臉小的女生剪起來特別減齡，搭配輕薄瀏海會更日系；偏分則顯得率性俐落。整理度低，洗完吹乾就能完成造型。

2025短髮／中短髮推薦7：羽毛剪鮑伯短髮

以「羽毛感」代替傳統厚重鮑伯，髮尾線條柔和不死板，能自然修飾臉型。這款短髮帶有清爽氛圍，特別適合夏秋交替季。對細軟髮女生來說，羽毛層次能增加髮量感；對自然捲女生來說，紋理更能被凸顯，慵懶氛圍感十足。

2025短髮／中短髮推薦8：耳下薄剪短髮

耳下長度加上極致打薄設計，清爽俐落又減齡。細軟髮女生吹乾後就能自然蓬鬆，完全不會塌。自然捲女生則能利用髮尾蓬度營造空氣感氛圍。這款短髮特別適合臉型小巧的女生，能讓臉部輪廓更乾淨，搭配八字或法式瀏海，更能修飾臉型比例，展現超日系的清新氛圍。

記者吳奕靖、張靖榕／綜合報導

國民黨立委柯志恩日前高調批評高雄市政府對「美濃大峽谷」盜採事件失職，意外引爆藍營「自導自演」爭議。因同行地主之一石麗君，竟曾任高雄市議員朱信強的特助，消息曝光後，被質疑是「做賊喊捉賊」。橋頭地檢署將朱信強特助石麗君及其丈夫、王姓承租人傳喚到案並移送地檢複訊後，強制處分結果出爐，石麗君以100萬元交保。

橋頭地檢署14日證實，已擴大偵辦盜採案件，並將石麗君、其巫姓丈夫與王姓承租人傳喚到案。3人於晚間移送地檢複訊後，石女巫姓丈夫被諭令以新臺幣80萬元交保，並限制住居；石麗君則被諭令以100萬元交保；王姓承租人遭聲押禁見。

橋頭地檢指出，本案早在8月下旬就展開行動，查扣15部重型盜採機具，並對多名涉案人士啟動司法程序。當中2名主嫌，曹姓與蘇姓男子已遭聲押禁見，另外4名涉案人交保後，檢方也已提出抗告。14日再度發動行動，針對石女等3人進行漏夜偵訊，顯示本案仍在持續擴大偵辦中。

柯志恩原本希望透過此次盜採案指控市府執法鬆散，不料反被揭露地主背景為自家人，陷入政治風波。對此，朱信強表示，石麗君雖為土地所有人，但該地早已出租，並稱石女對現場狀況並不知情。他呼籲石應勇於面對責任，也坦言自己對人員管理有所疏失，承諾全力配合檢方調查，不會護短。

〔健康頻道／綜合報導〕不用精心計算熱量、只要選好食物與份量就能輕鬆瘦，所有人都適用的飲食法211餐盤！營養師彭逸珊表示，只要按照這個比例，每個人都可以吃得健康均衡，但要注意餐具的尺寸，如果不小心吃成422，就會失去意義。

彭逸珊在臉書專頁「愛健康營養師 珊珊」指出，211是單純以視覺來分配餐食的方法，2代表蔬菜類、1代表澱粉類、1代表蛋白質類。

211餐盤吃法●2代表蔬菜類：葉菜、菇、瓜、藻類、菜豆、四季豆等。●1代表澱粉類：飯、麵、地瓜、南瓜、紅豆、綠豆等。●1蛋白質類：豬肉、雞肉、牛肉、豆腐、海鮮、豆乾等。

彭逸珊說，211是幫助控制份量的方法，習慣後可進一步挑選種類，像是澱粉類可多選未精緻穀類，例如五穀飯、糙米飯、地瓜、南瓜、芋頭等；每餐一定要有1種深綠色蔬菜，再搭配其他種類蔬菜；植物性蛋白：動物性蛋白＝1：1最棒，將豆乾、豆腐放入三餐中。

曹晶晶5月推出《跳舞精靈》單曲，6月就飛去赴美國唸南加大人類生物系，展開她的大學新生活，到洛杉磯近3個月的時間適應良好，因為她的人生目標是當醫生，所以課餘時間特別選擇去醫院、診所實習，本來只是抱持著實習當志工的心態，沒想到醫生和診對她的表現很滿意，診所還給了她時薪美金20元的打工費。

據了解，美國聯邦政府最低工資為每小時7.25美元，大城市的時薪可能落在15美元至近20美元，曹晶晶第一次打工就拿到美金20元（約台幣600元）的時薪，診所醫生願意給她這麼高的時薪，也顯示醫生對她的肯定。

曹晶晶的外公曹日北是建設公司老闆，唸書時就是學霸，姑婆婆曹金鈴雖然是知名舞蹈家，也曾赴美國拿到哲學博士，外公曹日北原本擔心曹晶晶出身書香世家，愛唱歌、跳舞會耽誤學業，沒想到她赴美國不但在學校成績表現良好，在外實習也深受肯定，讓家人都很開心。

〔娛樂頻道／綜合報導〕樂天女孩「嘎琳」胡佳琳近期被拍疑似約會百億富豪，但遭自稱「女友」的女網友控她是介入感情的小三，上個月12日，嘎琳出席活動全程微笑打太極，未正面回應感情風波。

《鏡週刊》報導，其實嘎琳在新聞爆出後才知富商劈腿，並聲稱10幾個代言受到極大影響，估算恐損失上千萬元，知情人士透露，她哭喊要求富商想辦法，傳男方一邊安撫嘎琳，另一方面則給錢要正牌女友下架照片，目的就為了能繼續與嘎琳交往。

嘎琳在隊上擁有高人氣，過去曾多次參加過國際選美比賽拿下亮眼成績，7月被爆與身家百億的昇鴻公司前董事長黃苡峻交往甚密，卻有自稱正牌女友的女網友在社群上曬出嘎琳與男方合照，疑指嘎琳介入他人感情，對此，球團未做回應。

〔記者蕭方綺／專題報導〕林逸欣8月補辦婚禮，沒想到婚禮中的成長影片意外爆紅，也讓她爸爸診所推出的薰衣草精油膏二度紅透天邊，賣到缺貨。她先前透露利用AI寫程式，希望能優化網路購買流程，只是開賣時再次秒殺，讓網友直呼：「感覺又回到了搶GD演唱會的門票！」這回將在明天（12日）中午12點在網站開放預購，每人最多限購40瓶，不開放診所現場購買。

林逸欣宣傳音樂劇《腦內失控的iTunes》時接受本報訪問，也談到這款由爸爸親手調配的薰衣草藥膏。最初其實是免費贈送給初診的患者，她說爸爸為了舒緩病人失眠、頭痛、中風後遺症，調出了一種味道不刺鼻、塗起來清爽舒適的薰衣草精油膏，「他自己擦了之後很喜歡，覺得有點像萬金油的涼感，於是就拿來送給病人，完全沒有打算販售。」

沒想到，這份「好意」卻逐漸演變成一場熱潮。病人們因為太喜歡，開始主動要求購買。起初父親還是堅持「只送不賣」，後來才不得不小規模開放，但依舊以送為主，「結果人氣超乎預期，連診所的護理師都覺得不可思議，爸爸其實自己也嚇到。」

後來林逸欣有次拍戲時，送給電視台工作人員，對方恰巧認識王心凌，推薦王心凌使用，王心凌有回在影片介紹這東西，意外讓薰衣草精油膏在小紅書紅翻；這回則是因為林逸欣童年影片再度爆紅。

然而現在的「缺貨」並不是飢餓行銷，她解釋是香茅相關的原物料缺貨，加上大量訂單湧入才供不應求。隨著需求暴增，仿冒與詐騙也接踵而至。林逸欣無奈表示：「我們一直提醒大家要小心詐騙，甚至有人傳照片給我，說收到的薰衣草藥膏根本不是我們的。雖然我們早就停止對外販售，但還是擔心有人受騙。」

她坦言，這股熱潮原本以為能像「浮誇一時」的蛋撻風潮般過去，但現實卻讓家人感到困擾，「有些真正需要的人反而買不到貨，等待或不耐煩的情緒累積起來，讓當初的美意變成了一種負擔。」

而她爸爸現在72歲，依舊沒有打算退休。談到爸爸，林逸欣語氣裡仍帶著敬佩，「他常分享病人案例，像有人因燒炭輕生被救回來，或者老年失智症狀改善。很多人專程從外縣市來台南找爸爸看診，他真的很樂於幫助人。」正因如此，爸爸始終掛念著病人，甚至擔心自己退休後會有人失去治療機會。

雖然如此，她說爸爸近年來也逐漸放慢腳步，「以前是一到六都看診，現在改成一到五，有時候還會臨時休假陪我們或休息。」她笑著補充：「媽媽倒是早就退休了。」

對這一家人來說，這段「藥膏熱潮」更像是一場意外，他們從未想過一份單純的心意會掀起如此大的迴響，「我們只希望一切趕快回歸平靜，讓真正需要的人能安心受惠。」

有「職棒教父」稱號的兄弟大飯店創辦人之一的洪騰勝，其持有的「首都銀行大樓」1樓店面1/3產權遭到法拍。（翻攝自Google Map）

〔記者徐義平／台北報導〕有「職棒教父」稱號的兄弟大飯店創辦人之一的洪騰勝，驚爆台北市兩處精華店面遭法拍，根據司法院法拍屋公告，洪遭到法拍的店面分別是光華商圈內、八德路一段上的一幢地上4層透天店面，以及敦化南路一段、忠孝東路四段口的「首都銀行大樓」1樓店面的1/3產權，一拍底價各約1.96億餘元、1.6億餘元，預計11月18日執行一拍。

根據寬頻房訊彙整，洪遭到法拍的光華商圈透天店面，地坪約32.07坪、建坪約111.59坪，拆算一拍每坪底價近500萬元，至於，首都銀行大樓1樓店面建坪約118.02坪、拆算一拍每坪底價約166.45萬元。

兩筆店面均有抗性 拍定難度高

根據法拍屋公告，遭到法拍的八德路透天店面，目前由法人騰勝貿易承租，租期自2023年1月1日起，截至2043年12月31日為止，租期長達20年，且每月租金只有1.85萬元，20年租金收入也僅有444萬元，若以一拍底價推估，租金收益率僅0.11%，且載明似有產權紛爭，加上查封前已出租，因此，全案拍定後不點交。

至於，遭到首都銀行大樓的1樓，目前則是空屋狀態，不過，建物共有人具有優先承買權，因此，法拍業者指出，職棒教父遭到法拍兩筆店面，即便地點相當精華，但八德路透天店面有20年租約箝制，首都銀行大樓1樓店面則僅有1/3產權，推測要拍出去有相當難度。

title: U19籃球聯盟》呂政儒現身為兒子呂呈毅加油 但他偶像竟不是老爸

〔記者粘藐云/綜合報導〕由福康文教基金會主辦的U19籃球聯盟2025-26年賽季上週末展開新賽季首戰，本季參賽隊伍多達121支，因應場次的增加，主辦單位U19籃球聯盟也因此尋覓新戰場，當然球場的安全性及便利性絕對是優先考量。

昨在和平籃球館的熱身場賽區進行的U15組一賽事由去年U15特優組冠軍錦和國中出戰以美國學校為班底的Phoenix，雖然Phoenix陣中只有四人得分，不過靠著一盯四區域的防守戰術將錦和國中小跑車朱貫瑜全場守死、加上陣中長人在禁區肆虐，Phoenix終場以45：40險勝錦和國中。

錦和國中總教練涂恬瑋賽後表示，「開賽不久我們的主力朱貫瑜即遭對手以盯人戰術被守死，沒有太多機會拿到球，因此失去許多進攻機會，這也是他必須學習成長的地方。U19聯盟對我們來說是訓練一對一攻防最好的實戰機會，每隊都是學校的精英球員，整體的能力比較高，這也是我們堅持要參賽的原因。今年的目標就是鎖定12強進而挑戰8強！」涂恬瑋以堅定的語氣如此表示。

眼鏡俠朱貫瑜歷經上屆冠軍的洗禮，新賽季的經驗及戰力又更進化不少，自然是各隊都封鎖的目標，對他來說這也是學習的歷程。他在賽後說備戰新球季，在速度及判斷上又成長不少，會再請益教練如何改善今天的缺點下次討回來，希望能進化成像NBA球星LaMelo Ball 般輕鬆掌握進攻節奏的功力，他也提醒自己不要失去對籃球的熱情，他笑著說「因為籃球已成為他生命的一部份。」

U12組一的賽事由Heat對上Ballin' 頑球，靠著陣中主力中鋒曾柏霆禁區優勢，個人攻下全場最高的11分，加上呂呈毅唯一的外線及5分的挹注，帶領Ballin' 頑球全場維持領先，最後以33：28勝出拿下開季首勝。

Ballin' 頑球教練張仕達認為，U19這幾季下來素質及打法提升許多，特別是在強度，今年為了試水溫嘗試越級挑戰U12賽事，希望讓球員習慣高張力賽事，尤其是防守的意識及強度還有防守轉換的速度是今年需加強的目標。

今年U19聯盟增加許多隊伍及場次，張仕達教練表示這對許多球隊來說是好消息，有更多不同的球隊加入相對也會有更多不同的挑戰，而他們已經準備好去面對。

呂呈毅的爸爸同時也是TPBL新北國王隊現役球星呂政儒，他在練球空檔前來為兒子加油，去年只是抱著好玩的心態讓呂呈毅加入球隊，但看著呂呈毅一天比一天進步、態度也越來越認真，逐漸在茶餘飯後主動分享在學校練球的心得，於是呂政儒也開始慢慢教他許多觀念技巧。

去年感覺他還是跑龍套的角色，不曉得在場上忙什麼，呂政儒說哥哥（呂呈毅排行老大）進步很快，尤其是基本動作，目前覺得身材過於單薄在球的處理比較吃虧，必須要再吃壯一點，目前還維持開心打球的階段。呂政儒強調，「態度」是他唯一讓呂呈毅繼續打球的理由，一旦失去這初衷就不會讓他繼續打球。

有趣的是，問到呂呈毅最喜歡的球員，他的答案居然不是爸爸呂政儒而是NBA湖人隊已故傳奇球星Kobe Bryant，他說因為喜歡他的後仰跳投，不顧爸爸呂政儒沈重的表情，呂呈毅越說越帶勁，「我試著在比賽中做二次，但只有一次成功，可惜沒進。」

〔記者粘藐云/綜合報導〕「亞洲貓王」唐嘉鴻今凌晨在巴黎體操世界盃挑戰賽單槓決賽，以難度分6.700分、執行7.666分，總分14.366分摘下銅牌，而曾為聖則在跳馬奪銀。

唐嘉鴻去年在巴黎奧運摘下單槓銅牌，這次再度赴花都出賽，他在資格賽部分先以難度6.100分的套路上陣，並獲得執行分8.666分、總分14.766分排名第1，闖進決賽。

唐嘉鴻在今天凌晨的單槓決賽把難度調高為6.700分，可惜在執行分部分僅拿下7.666分，總分為14.366分，雖然和第2名的法國好手卡瓦赫（Kevin Carvalho）總分相同，但唐嘉鴻的執行分較低，最後獲得銅牌。

此外，曾在成都世大運摘下跳馬銀牌的曾為聖，這次巴黎世界盃他在跳馬資格賽以2次平均13.550分，排名第5順利晉級。

曾為聖昨在台灣時間深夜於跳馬決賽登場，他兩跳都是以5.200分難度分上陣，第1跳表現較理想拿下執行分8.733分、第2跳執行分則是8.700分，兩次平均13.916分，摘下銀牌，僅次於義大利好手葛拉索（Thomas Grasso）。

至於其他晉級決賽的台將，林冠儀在吊環決賽以難度分5.500分、執行分7.566分，加總13.066分排名第8；洪源禧則是在雙槓決賽以難度分5.700分、執行分7.566分，總分13.266分獲得第6名。

教宗良十四世今天度過 70 歲生日，駐教廷大使館向教宗轉致總統賴清德賀函，強調台灣堅決支持教廷推動和平對話。正在羅馬訪問的執政黨立委團也在梵蒂岡廣場錄製影片，現場即時獻上來自台灣的祝福。

教宗良十四世今天在聖伯多祿廣場發表主日三鐘經，看到廣場上許多寫著祝賀教宗生日快樂的布條，教宗打趣表示「看來大家都知道我今天 70 歲了。」廣場上掌聲久久不息。

梵蒂岡廣場上擠滿來自各國群眾，以不同語言唱生日快樂歌祝福教宗，台灣也未缺席。訪歐進行國會外交的民進黨立委林楚茵、沈發惠、林宜瑾、李柏毅、吳沛憶，今天恰好前往梵蒂岡廣場參加教宗三鐘經儀式，團員特別在現場錄製一段影片祝福教宗生日快樂，同時大喊「台灣萬歲」，期盼台梵邦誼不斷深化。

駐教廷大使館向教宗轉達賴總統祝福，賴總統在賀電中表示，在教宗 70 歲壽辰之際，他謹代表台灣人民和政府，致以最誠摯祝福。

賴總統在賀電指出，教宗在上任幾個月內，致力促進世界和平、社會正義和關注全球，展現教宗對人類尊嚴的奉獻，以及對教會合一的承諾。

賴總統指出，教宗致力在不同信仰間搭建夥伴關係，促進國家間的友情，增強了台灣人民維護普世價值、追求共同福祉的信念；身處於充滿衝突紛爭的世界，台灣堅決支持梵蒂岡致力於實現和平、彌合分歧、促進對話的努力，台灣將持續與梵蒂岡合作，推動人道援助，為世界各地有需要的人帶來慰藉。

賴總統最後祝願教宗身體健康，在服務全人類的使命中獲得更大成功。

content_text:
數百名韓國籍工人在美國喬治亞州一處工地被捕 10 天後，總統川普今天表示，「歡迎」被派到美國的外籍勞工，並說他不希望「嚇跑」投資人。

法新社報導，這位 79 歲共和黨籍總統在自家社群平台真實社群（ Truth Social ）發文表示：「我不希望嚇跑或是造成投資卻步。」

美國移民暨海關執法局（ ICE ）等執法機構 4 日突襲現代汽車（ Hyundai Motor ）和 LG 新能源（ LG Energy Solution ）在喬治亞州合資興建的電動車電池廠工地，逮捕 475 人，其中多數是韓國人。執法人員指控他們逾期居留，或從事不符合簽證目的的活動。

川普1月重返白宮後雷厲風行貫徹施政主軸之一的非法移民掃蕩，這起突襲是截至目前針對同一場所進行的最大規模取締行動。

雖然美方最後未執行遣返，但工人們在突襲過程中被銬上手銬、腳鐐，腰上纏著鐵鍊的畫面震驚韓國社會。首爾已於 12 日安排專機接回這批工人。

韓國總統李在明 11 日形容這場突襲「令人困惑」，示警恐對未來韓企赴美投資產生重大影響。

川普在今天的貼文中提及允許部分外國專業人士暫時入境美國協助開發「極為複雜產品」的情況。

他寫道：「晶片、半導體、電腦、船艦、火車，還有許多我們必須向別人學習如何製造的其他產品，或者，在很多情況下，因為我們過去曾經很擅長，但不復以往而得重新學習的產品。」

川普指出：「我們歡迎他們、我們歡迎他們的員工，我們並且願意自豪地說，我們願意向他們學習，在不遠的將來有一天，我們會在他們擅長的『領域』青出於藍。」（編譯：何宏儒） 1140915

阿拉伯—伊斯蘭國家領袖高峰會明天在卡達首都杜哈舉行，預料會集結各方對卡達予以力挺。以色列上週針對巴勒斯坦伊斯蘭主義運動組織哈瑪斯領導層，向杜哈發動前所未見空襲。

根據路透社看到將交由與會各國元首考量的決議草案，內容譴責以色列發動攻擊之舉是破壞穩定的升級行動，並且反對以色列「強行改變區域現狀的計畫」。該草案並未提及對以色列採取任何外交或經濟行動，明天領袖會議前草案版本仍可能調整。

哈瑪斯（ Hamas ）表示造成5名非領導層成員死亡的這場攻擊促使美國盟友的波斯灣阿拉伯國家展現團結，也加劇阿拉伯聯合大公國和以色列之間的緊張關係。兩國於 2020 年才實現關係正常化。

這場緊急高峰會召集阿拉伯聯盟（ Arab League ）和伊斯蘭合作組織（ Organisation of Islamic Cooperation ）成員國，今天先行召開的外長會議就決議草案進行討論。

阿拉伯聯盟秘書長阿波蓋特（ Ahmed Aboul Gheit ）告訴「中東日報」（ Asharq al-Awsat ），這場會議旨在傳達「卡達不是孤軍奮戰…阿拉伯和伊斯蘭國家都予以力挺」 的訊息。（編譯：何宏儒） 1140915

台灣男子競技體操跳馬好手曾為聖，今天在法國的巴黎體操世界盃挑戰賽決賽，以 2 跳平均 13 . 916 分鍍銀，這也是他在今年挑戰賽系列的第 2 面銀牌。

國際體操總會（ FIG ）今年共有 5 場世界盃挑戰賽系列，包括本週的巴黎世界盃挑戰賽在內，已經比完 4 場，我國的曾為聖共計拿下 2 金 2 銀。

根據 FIG 規定，選手必須 5 場比賽都參加，挑選 3 場最佳成績計算，才有資格進入年度排名的評選；教練林育信自豪地說：「為聖基本上應該篤定是挑戰賽年度總冠軍。」

FIG 今年的第 5 場挑戰賽，將於9月 26 日在匈牙利登場，年度總冠軍會獲得頒獎。

現年 26 歲的曾為聖，自從拿下 2023 成都世大運男子跳馬銀牌後就破繭而出，至今在國際賽表現越來越穩定；林育信提到：「跳馬比的就是心態和穩定度，這場比賽強度很高，各國好手基本上都出來比了。」

曾為聖今天在 8 人決賽中壓軸登場，第 1 跳難度分5. 200 、執行分8. 733 、總分 13 . 933 ；第 2 跳難度分5. 200 分、執行分 8. 700 、總分 13 . 900 分，2 跳平均 13 . 916 分獲得銀牌。

林育信透露，以往曾為聖如果排在最後 1 個出賽，那肯定會出現重大失誤，「現在他已經非常穩定，就算今天排在壓軸登場，還是照樣把其他人的排名擠到後面去。」

林育信強調，現在就是持續磨練曾為聖的動作和穩定性，目標還是擺在明年的名古屋亞運，繼續完成心中搶獎牌的夢想。

「亞洲貓王」、台灣體操好手唐嘉鴻在法國巴黎體操世界盃挑戰賽單槓決賽，雖然挑戰難度分6. 700 的動作，可惜下法時發生失誤，執行分僅 7. 666 ，最終以總分 14 . 366 分獲得 1 面銅牌。

唐嘉鴻在7月底赴日本移地訓練長達 3 週，整體狀況在賽前調整得不錯。昨天的單槓資格賽，唐嘉鴻小試身手，以難度分6. 100 、執行分8. 666 、總分 14 . 766 分排名第 1 晉級。

在決賽場中，唐嘉鴻一口氣將難度分提升到6. 700 ，雖然沒有加入新動作，只可惜在下法嘗試「後空翻曲體 3 圈」動作時，落地失去平衡手觸地，導致他執行分僅拿到 7. 666 分。

最終唐嘉鴻總分 14 . 366 分，仍跟另一名法國地主選手同分並列第2，不過先比較執行分後，唐嘉鴻落居銅牌。

唐嘉鴻表示，出發前就想說這場比賽就是要拿來挑戰不同的動作和難度，所以決賽就把難度一次拉高，儘管失敗還是可以從中學到很多經驗。

結束這場比賽後，唐嘉鴻將回台繼續調整，備戰 10 月的全運會，以及 10 月 19 日在雅加達登場的世界體操錦標賽。

另外在男子雙槓的項目，台灣晉級決賽的洪源禧壓軸登場，最終以難度分 5. 700 、執行分 7. 566 、總分 13 . 266 排在第 6 名，無緣獎牌。

卡達總理穆罕默德 14 日敦促國際社會摒棄「雙重標準」，追究以色列犯下的責任。卡達 15 日將舉行緊急會議，回應以軍日前為打擊哈瑪斯領導階層而對卡達發動前所未有的空襲行動。

以色列本月 9 日對美國在中東地區的另一個盟友卡達發動空襲，攻擊目標是人在杜哈（ Doha ）的巴勒斯坦伊斯蘭主義組織哈瑪斯（ Hamas ）領導階層。以軍的行動招致各國批評，美國總統川普（ Donald Trump ）也發聲譴責，但同時派遣國務卿盧比歐（ Marco Rubio ）前往以色列，以展現支持。

阿拉伯和伊斯蘭國家領袖 15 日的緊急會議，目的在升高波灣國家之間的團結，並進一步施壓以色列。目前，以色列正面臨各界在終結加薩（ Gaza ）戰爭與人道危機的聲浪。

法新社報導，卡達總理穆罕默德（ Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani ）14 日在籌備會議上表示：「國際社會是時候停止雙重標準，懲罰以色列所有罪行了。」他指出，以色列在加薩發動的「滅絕戰爭」必將失敗。

他說：「國際社會的沉默與無力追究，是促使以色列持續下去的原因。」

預計出席 15 日峰會的領袖包括伊朗總統裴澤斯基安（ Masoud Pezeshkian ）、伊拉克總理蘇達尼（ Mohammed Shia al-Sudani ）以及土耳其總統艾爾段（ Recep Tayyip Erdogan ）。巴勒斯坦自治政府（ Palestinian Authority ）主席阿巴斯（ Mahmud Abbas ）14 日已抵達杜哈。

沙烏地阿拉伯王儲穆罕默德．沙爾曼（ Mohammed bin Salman ）是否出席目前還無法確定，但他本週稍早已以訪問卡達，展現支持。

卡達外交部發言人安薩里（ Majed al-Ansari ）表示， 15 日會議將討論「有關以色列攻擊卡達的決議草案」。

哈佛大學中東研究計畫成員法赫羅（ Elham Fakhro ）預料，波灣各國將藉此峰會要求美國政府對以色列加以約束。

她補充：「他們同時也會尋求美國給予更強而有力的安全保證，因為以色列的行動凸顯現有保障的不足，也削弱美國作為安全夥伴的公信力。」（編譯：蔡佳敏） 1140915

無黨籍高市議員朱信強前特助石麗君涉犯廢清法等罪嫌，檢警 14 日執行搜索並拘提石女及其丈夫巫姓男子、王姓承租人等 3 人到案。橋頭地檢署說，石女等 3 人目前由檢察官複訊中。

國民黨立委柯志恩日前會勘美濃「大峽谷」案，其中一名陪同者為無黨籍高雄市議員朱信強的前特助石麗君，後續經高雄市政府證實，石女為已列管提供濫採坑洞的地主，涉嫌違反廢棄物清理法，遭開罰新台幣 300 萬元。

市府當時說明，對於石女涉及新型態砂石盜採犯罪，近期購地後，短期內就不尋常發生盜採濫倒案，先前已經蒐集掌握相關資料，並已將相關違法事證一併移送橋頭地檢署偵辦。

檢警14 日執行搜索並拘提石女、石女丈夫巫姓男子及王姓承租人等 3 人到案，至於是否有相關強制處分，將待檢察官複訊後再行決定。

全案為美濃區新吉洋段盜採坑洞，市府及檢調上個月聯合大掃蕩，依違反廢棄物清理法移送偵辦，行為人已收押。9 月 11 日市府再分別依廢清法、土石採取法、區預計畫法，共加重裁罰 1130 萬元，此案累計裁罰 1430 萬元。

美國國務卿盧比歐今天抵達以色列，商討加薩衝突未來走向之際，巴勒斯坦官員表示，以色列軍隊在加薩市摧毀至少 30 棟住宅大樓，迫使數以千計民眾離開家園。

路透社報導，以色列已經表示，計劃奪取約有 100 萬巴勒斯坦人棲身的加薩市（ Gaza City ），作為消滅武裝組織哈瑪斯（ Hamas ）這項既定目標的一部分，並以打擊哈瑪斯最後據點之名，加強對該市的攻擊行動。

時斷時續與以色列進行停火和人質交換談判的哈瑪斯政治領導層 9 日在卡達首都杜哈遭以色列空襲，引發國際廣泛譴責。卡達明天將召開阿拉伯—伊斯蘭國家緊急高峰會，討論下一步行動。

盧比歐（ Marco Rubio ）於前往以色列途中表示：「已發生的事無法改變。我們將與他們（指以色列領導層）會面，討論未來的方向。」他將在以色列停留到 16 日。

抵達後，盧比歐走訪耶路撒冷的猶太祈禱聖地哭牆（ Western Wall ），並預計與以色列總理尼坦雅胡（ Benjamin Netanyahu ）會談。據美國國務院聲明，盧比歐造訪哭牆，「重申美國承認耶路撒冷為以色列永恆首都的立場」。

美國總統川普 2017 年底於第一任期內正式承認耶路撒冷為以色列首都，並將大使館從特拉維夫遷至耶路撒冷。

尼坦雅胡於 11 日簽署協議，推進橫跨巴勒斯坦人尋求建國區域、位在約旦河西岸（ West Bank ）的一項屯墾區擴張計畫。阿拉伯聯合大公國警告此舉將破壞美國斡旋、促成阿聯與以色列關係正常化的「亞伯拉罕協議」（ Abraham Accords ）。

與此同時，以色列表示，希望更多平民於地面部隊進入之前撤離加薩市。雖已有數萬人離開，據估計當地仍有數十萬人。哈瑪斯則敦促民眾堅守家園。

以軍已進駐加薩巿東側至少4處郊區數週，並將其中至少 3 處幾乎夷為平地，目前正逼近大部分流離失所民眾棲身的市中心和西區。（編譯：何宏儒） 1140915

英國政府透露，美國總統川普這週將展開三天訪英行程，期間兩國預計簽署一份「具突破性的科技協議」，為跨大西洋企業與消費者注入新動能。

英國科學、創新與科技部指出，協議的具體內容尚未公開，但涵蓋人工智慧（AI）、量子運算等核心前沿領域。英國新任科技大臣 Liz Kendall 表示，這些技術不僅將帶來治療疾病的新方式，也能改善公共服務。

此次訪問，川普將率領多位美國科技巨頭高層隨行，其中包括輝達執行長黃仁勳與 OpenAI 執行長山姆・阿特曼（Sam Altman）。據知情人士透露，兩人預計對英國資料中心進行數十億美元規模的投資。同時，美國雲端服務商 CoreWeave 也預計加入相關布局。

資產管理巨頭 BlackRock 也計劃投入高達 5 億英鎊至英國資料中心市場。執行長勞倫斯・芬克（Larry Fink）將隨川普訪英，親自展現投資決心。

目前，美國與英國在人工智慧、半導體、電信及量子運算等領域已有密切合作，此次協議將進一步深化雙方的科技戰略夥伴關係。

BAE Systems 表示，六個歐洲國家將共同採購瑞典開發的 CV90 步兵戰鬥車，這張訂單將會是 BAE 瑞典分公司黑格隆斯有史以來最大一筆。

CV90 是瑞典於 1980 年代後期開發的步兵戰鬥車，由瑞典國防物資局（Defence Material Administration）、波佛斯（Bofors）和黑格隆斯（Hägglunds）共同開發（兩間公司皆已被 BAE Systems 併購），是歐洲最為暢銷的步兵戰鬥車產品之一，自 1993 年以來已生產超過 1,280 輛。

CV90 車長 6.55 公尺、寬 3.1 公尺、高 2.7 公尺，重量依照不同世代型號在 23～37 公噸之間，最新 MKIV 版本主武裝為一門 Bushmaster 推出的 35 公厘機砲，或波佛斯推出的 40 公厘 L70 機砲。

動力來源為瑞典 Scania 公司的 14 公升 DS14 直列六缸柴油引擎，或 16 公升 DC16 V8 柴油引擎，最大輸出達 1,000 馬力，最高時速為 70 公里，作戰半徑 320 公里。

黑格隆斯商業發展部長尼格倫（Peter Nygren）表示，芬蘭、瑞典、挪威、荷蘭、立陶宛和愛沙尼亞六國在近期簽署共同軍購同意書，將共同採購 CV90，而實際採購國和數量有待各方討論出步兵戰鬥車配置後決定。

尼格倫指出，這筆訂單預計將有數百輛以上，將會是黑格隆斯有史以來最大一筆訂單，BAE Systems 將在數週內會收到六國集團的採購意向書，預計明年六月前正式簽訂採購合約。

高雄美濃農地違法採砂案連環爆，立委柯志恩會勘時，一旁市議員朱信強特助石麗君被民進黨議員踢爆是盜採農地地主，石隨即被朱開除，橋頭地檢署昨天將石女、夫婿及王姓承租人拘提到案，並執行搜索，漏夜複訊後，今清晨5時許後依廢棄物清理法，諭知石與巫姓丈夫各以100萬、80萬元交保，王男則聲押禁見。

民進黨高雄市議員參選人張以理、市議員鄭孟洳日前召開記者會，指控國民黨柯志恩與美濃地方人士會勘盜採砂石現場，其中在柯志恩身旁的石麗君，即為盜採砂石集團的共犯。

事後市府再說明，指石麗君已列管為提供濫採坑洞地主，涉違反廢棄物清理法開罰300萬元；市府對於她涉及的新型態砂石盜採犯罪，近期購地於短期內就不尋常發生盜採濫倒案，先前已經蒐集掌握相關資料，已將相關違法事證一併移送橋頭地檢署後續偵辦。

朱信強在獲知助理涉案後，隨即切割解除石麗君特助職務，稱石麗君身為地主卻對盜挖情節否認知情、說是出租他人所為，希望她承認錯誤，勇敢承擔責任。

案情延燒多日，昨橋頭地檢署再次發動偵查，拘提地主石麗君及其巫姓以及王姓承租人到案，晚間移送橋頭地檢署漏夜複訊，依違反廢棄物清理法偵辦中。

高雄美濃農地「大峽谷」盜採案連環爆，高市府遭外界質疑僅對地主和運輸業者開罰，後續未追蹤，放任土地被挖成大峽谷，後祭出「密集地毯式巡查」策略防堵；高市警局決議調派保大特勤中隊員警支援，化身「夜鷹」抓「砂石大盜」，任務為期一個半月。

美濃農地遭不法犯罪集團開挖至少6處大峽谷後，高市府面對外界質疑取締不力的聲浪後，祭出各局處聯合稽查的「密集地毯式巡查」機制。

前晚7時35分有斬獲，轄區旗山警分局吉東派出所員警於被開挖遭列管的吉洋里成功段土地巡查時，發現2台怪手正非法掩埋廢棄物，通報環保局，調派拖板車執行行政扣留，並將張姓地主、潘姓行為人及黃姓司機依廢清法共裁處900萬元，全案移送法辦。

由於吉東派出所警力不到10人，旗山分局除調派偵查隊及其他派出所警力支援外，也得處理轄區內其他治安及為民服務的案件，市警局考量之下，決定調遣在重大案件中參與攻堅無役不與的保大特勤中隊警力支援。

據了解，特勤中隊員警此次執行「美濃區吉洋防制盜採砂石」任務，將從今日起至10月底止，為期一個半月的時間，值勤時間挑選在深夜時段；由於任務艱鉅，警局將讓執勤的員警後續可申報嘉獎，以6小時嘉獎1次，12小時嘉獎2次，最高以嘉獎2次為限。

title: 2熱帶擾動恐發展 吳德榮：一個成颱機率提高到5成

content_text:
目前南海及菲律賓東方至琉球海面為大低壓帶的環境，有利熱帶系統發展，未來10天，恐有2熱帶擾動發展。

中央大學大氣科學系兼任副教授吳德榮今天在「氣象應用推廣基金會」的「洩天機教室」專欄指出，最新歐洲系集模式(ECMWF)模擬顯示，今日起「熱帶擾動」進入南海，發展成輕颱條件不甚理想，機率最高僅20%，大致朝海南島方向前進，對台無影響。

吳德榮說，至於末期的另一「熱帶擾動」，在菲律賓東方海面醞釀，大致偏西進行，最新歐洲系集模式模擬進入巴士海峽，成颱機率則調高為50%；但最新各國模式模擬其動向仍很分歧，存在極大的「不確定性」，威脅程度無需急下定論，應持續觀察。

至於最新各國模式模擬顯示，未來10天(至24日)太平洋高壓仍偏強，無首波東北季風南下跡象，明顯降溫還得再等。

吳德榮指出，今、明兩天各地晴朗，白天酷熱，全台最高氣溫達38度以上，紫外線強，注意防曬、防中暑；午後山區有局部短暫陣雨或雷雨，東側水氣略增，恆春半島及花東偶有短暫降雨的機率。

今日各地區氣溫為：北部23至38度、中部23至36度、南部23至37度及東部22至36度。

吳德榮說，最新歐洲模式模擬顯示，周三至周五(17至19日)「熱帶擾動」通過呂宋島、進入南海，外圍北上的水氣漸增，東半部及恆春半島有局部陣雨；午後山區有局部短暫陣雨或雷雨，平地受影響的區域逐日增多，有大雷雨發生的機率；各地高溫微降、仍偏熱。周六大氣不穩定，午後仍有大雷雨發生的機率。下周日(21日)水氣略減，各地晴朗炎熱，午後有局部短暫陣雨或雷雨，大多侷限在山區，部分平地受影響，仍有較大雨勢。

※ 以上言論僅供學術討論之用，氣象預報應以氣象署為準。

吳德榮說，最新(14日20時)歐洲(ECMWF)系集模式，19日20時模擬圖顯示，熱帶擾動大致朝海南島方向前進(左)。24日20時模擬圖則顯示，另一熱帶擾動即將進入巴士海峽，發展成輕颱機率高達50% (右)。擷取自「洩天機教室」專欄農曆七月特輯

▋愛上一雙溫暖乾燥的手

大三時，趙英的室友佩姬．雷伯特（Peggy Liebert），也是她的好友，是學校基督教女青年會的會長，她決定為在附近的大學如維吉尼亞大學（University of Virginia）、維吉尼亞軍校（Virginia Military Institute）等校就讀的外國學生，舉辦一場聯誼舞會。本來趙英不打算參加的，因為這種場合往往有些女生得不到男生的青睞，沒人邀舞，一副受冷落的可憐相，趙英看著不忍，雖然她自己從來就是舞會的熱門人物。但在室友佩姬的堅持下，趙英還是去參加了。

那晚有不少亞裔男生，其中包括幾位維吉尼亞軍校的軍事學員，有一位軍事學員來邀請趙英共舞，他便是白先忠。趙英馬上察覺這位男生與眾不同；通常在聯誼舞會邀她起舞的男生，尤其是亞裔，因為過度緊張，他們的手總是冷冰冰、濕黏黏的，很不舒服。可是白先忠卻有一雙溫暖乾燥的手，而且顯得很自信，給趙英留下深刻印象。那次之後的幾個月裡，先忠給趙英打好幾次電話，她都婉拒了，因為香港的吉姆那時還在跟她往來。次年春天，先忠又來電話，之後先忠跟她透露，如果她再拒絕他一次，他以後就不會再打電話給她了。那時趙英跟吉姆已經疏遠，於是便答應參加了維吉尼亞軍校的舞會，鼎鼎有名的路易．阿姆斯壯（Louis Armstrong）帶了他的樂團在舞會上演奏，一段浪漫姻緣便把這對青年男女綁在了一起。趙英和白先忠開始交往，1958年兩人訂婚，次年結婚，趙英父母大喜，獲得一位系出名門的女婿。

趙英自述，除了欣賞白先忠的相貌堂堂外，還有兩點深深吸引她：其一是兩人都強烈厭惡蔣介石，趙英是因為蔣幽禁了她的大舅張學良，先忠是因為蔣派特務監控父親白崇禧，兩人因此敵愾同仇；其二是先忠的個性作風，先忠是父親最疼愛且引以為傲的兒子，自小父親便把他帶在身邊，父親對他的影響甚大；我們家十兄弟姊妹，分爸爸黨、媽媽黨，先忠是死忠的爸爸黨，白崇禧將軍是他心中崇拜的英雄，於是有形無形地便繼承了父親的一些性格特徵：堅強、冷靜、講原則、守紀律。先忠後來承認選擇讀軍校，就是因為想取悅父親。當然，以父親的政治處境而言，當軍人沒有前途，他才轉向工程，在紐約大學取得機械工程的博士。

趙英交往過的男生為了討好她，極端逢迎甚至阿諛，趙英並不喜歡這一套，反而欣賞白先忠的硬脾氣。有一次為了一樁小事，趙英生先忠的氣，不斷向他嘮嘮叨叨，先忠弄煩了，反過來喝斥趙英一頓，趙英反而服了。其實白先忠與趙守偀是一對天作之合的絕配佳偶，兩人身世相當，背景雷同，兩人皆自幼赴美，在美國受過完整教育，成功融入美國的主流社會。先忠任職福斯特．惠勒（Foster Wheeler）公司旗下的一家子公司，一直升到總裁高位，並在1994年獲美國國家工程院（National Academy of Engineering）院士榮譽，在華裔移民中算是成功範例。趙英的成就也相當了得，她在紐約著名的亞伯特．愛因斯坦醫學院（Albert Einstein College of Medicine）取得遺傳學博士，後執教於紐澤西蒙特克萊爾州立大學（Montclair State University），最終獲得索柯爾（Sokol）講座教授，成為一位著名的遺傳學家。白先忠、趙守偀夫婦的學業、事業旗鼓相當，難得的是兩人嗜好一模一樣，喜歡運動、網球、高爾夫球；喜歡打橋牌，兩夫婦作對去比賽；喜歡旅行，世界各地同進同出，我沒見過這樣喜歡黏在一起的夫妻。當然兩人也有爭執的時候，大概都是趙英讓先忠的多。本來有幾處美國著名的生物實驗室高薪聘請趙英去做研究員，趙英拒絕了，她要留在紐澤西的丈夫身邊，因為先忠的公司就在那裡。先忠知道趙英在事業上為他做出的犧牲，他感激他的太太，更加疼愛她。

▋「程程趙趙」，以京劇撫慰鄉愁

趙世輝扮小生，夫妻兩人皆是京劇愛好者，在紐約創辦「業餘」京劇社。（圖／趙守偀提供）1945年，聯合國成立，總部設在紐約，趙世輝雖然在杜克大學（Duke）念到碩士，但他選的是社會學，在當時的美國找不到工作，然而他憑語言天才，卻考上了聯合國即時口譯員的職位，很不容易。在紐約的這段期間，趙氏夫婦也有過得愜意的時候。趙世輝與張懷瞳都酷愛京戲，趙世輝唱小生，曾拜小生名家程繼先為師，程曾如此惋嘆道：「可惜這孩子在如此人家，若是下海，有望超過我。」可見趙世輝京劇功夫的造詣之深。張懷瞳唱老生，私淑余派，有時兩夫妻同時粉墨登場；夫婦兩人也在紐約創辦「業餘」京劇社，是紐約愛好京劇的華人票友聚會所。雖然趙家此時的家境並不寬裕，可是仍肯花大錢到香港訂製京劇行頭，並且親自設計圖案。1980年，旦角名票趙榮琛訪美，與趙世輝合演《碧玉簪》，趙世輝扮演趙啟賢，當時有「程程趙趙，趙趙程程」之佳話，因為兩人的師父都姓程，趙榮琛曾拜程硯秋為師。趙世輝與趙榮琛兩人相見恨晚，世輝即席賦詩：

六九七三不老翁，紅氍毹上喜相逢，

程門弟子饒逸興，攜手欣然逑古風。

「業餘」京劇社是紐約華人票友互相取暖的地方，在一片鑼鼓笙簫聲中，暫且忘卻飄零海外、深深埋在心中的那份鄉愁。

張懷瞳扮老生，夫妻兩人皆是京劇愛好者，在紐約創辦「業餘」京劇社。（圖／趙守偀提供）趙家三兄妹，守倫因是長子，深得母親寵愛，趙英跟父親比較親，跟母親的關係複雜，母女之間有說不清、道不明的心結。其中重要的因素之一是母親對待二哥守丹的態度。守丹生下來有一分鐘沒有呼吸，幼童時被擺盪的鞦韆擊中頭部，頭顱可能產生骨折，影響大腦，學習有障礙，母親張懷瞳不能接受老帥千金怎麼會生出這樣的兒子出來。母親經常厲聲喝斥二哥，二哥臉上的恐懼，趙英永遠不能忘記，她為二哥打抱不平，認為她母親精神虐待兒童。趙英大學二年級的時候，大哥守倫和她都不在家，母親和守丹的關係已經糟到無可救藥的地步，父母親更一起把二兒子趙守丹逐出家門，從公寓趕了出去，趙英對此一直耿耿於懷，無法原諒她父母。趙英設法接濟她二哥，但守丹獨自流浪到紐約水牛城（Buffalo）去，後來幸虧浸信會教會收容了他，守丹受洗成為基督徒，在教會工作，一待三十年。後來認識了珊蒂．辛頓（Sandy Hinton），兩人成婚；珊蒂也有智力上的問題。婚禮上，趙家父母居然來參加了，趙英認為她母親的內心應該感到悔愧的。趙英、先忠和大哥守倫合夥替守丹夫婦買了一幢房子，守倫已是世界知名的婦產科醫生，經濟條件優厚；最後他們又合夥替守丹設立了一筆信託基金，讓他的生活有保障。趙英、先忠、守倫同時也合夥共同資助了他們的父母達三十年之久，兄妹兩人對父母算是盡孝的了。

▋結褵廿五載，父母的愛與孤寂

1953年，趙英念大一的時候，她父母舉行結婚二十五周年慶。趙世輝、張懷瞳兩夫婦的婚姻生活在前二十五年是相親相愛的，從趙世輝為紀念二十五周年寫下的幾首詩可一窺真情：

其一

憑肩笑語倩叮嚀，猶憶西窗細合盟；海樣深情卿愛我，天生麗質我憐卿。

愧無朱履千鍾祿，但有青襟一點誠；二十五年渾不覺，歡然連理更崢嶸。

從這首詩看來，趙世輝娶到「天生麗質」的老帥千金顯然是滿意的。

其二

為求金諾幾遷延，百轉千迴秦晉聯；樂譜霓裳迎風輦，屏開孔雀下雲軿，

初吟卻扇羞還喜，乍近柔鄉愛更憐；南極仙翁善頌禱，滿堂瓜瓞總綿綿。

當年在東北，趙爾巽的獨子與張老帥的千金結秦晉之好是頭一等大事，趙世輝不免念念難忘，緬懷過去的盛況。

其三

負笈重洋三萬里，慈萱永別恨難忘；寧屈小吏非求達，縱遇青雲豈足狂？

國際風塵多擾攘，人情寒燠儘淒涼；向平未了終身願，一匱功虧百事傷。

以趙世輝的身世與才能，在聯合國當口譯員「小吏」，的確很受委屈，大概他心中也有懷才不遇的怨懟，但他所處的是亂世，二十世紀的中國戰亂、革命未嘗稍歇，這位王孫公子也只好「苟且性命於亂世」，長年作客異域了。

可是趙世輝與張懷瞳兩夫婦過了二十五周年結婚慶典後，婚姻突然破裂了，此後幾十年，夫妻時起勃谿，經常爭吵。趙英與她哥哥守倫始終沒有弄明白，他們父母的感情到底因何變壞的。趙英揣測，原因之一是為了家庭財務；父母皆出自富貴人家，卻不善理財，出手又大方，經常處境窘迫，夫妻間易起爭執。原因之二是張懷瞳強迫趙世輝辭去聯合國工作，趙心中大概憤懣不平，但頂不住妻子經常吵鬧，也就勉強順從了。本來兩人創辦的紐約「業餘」京劇社是他們精神寄託的地方，後來因為人事糾紛，「業餘」關門，兩人離開紐約，搬到紐澤西的一座小鎮隱居起來，過著孤寂的生活。最後趙英結論，其實母親張懷瞳到了中晚年後精神上漸漸異常，出現非理性的言行。1980年，彼時先忠、趙英夫婦已經生下兩個兒子法雄（Ben）、法乾（Michael），守倫也有兩個女兒，趙英、先忠決定拍一張趙家全家福的照片，包括守丹夫婦。他們雇用了一位專業的攝影師，但從攝影棚回到家中，母親張懷瞳突然激動地對趙英說：「攝影師從我皮包偷了五十元！妳得幫我要回來！」趙英聽了大吃一驚，這便是母親多年偏執妄想行為的開端，愈到晚年，這種症狀愈明顯、愈嚴重，甚至懷疑傭人、自己的孫子偷了她的東西。她已患上了阿茲海默症了。趙世輝夫婦相守七十年，趙世輝棄世後，張懷瞳更加孤獨，她收養了十二隻流浪貓作伴。

▋苦甜交織的美國夢

先忠與趙英夫婦在美國的學業、事業一帆風順，完全成功地融入美國的主流社會，交到許多美國朋友。但是美國白人隱藏著的種族歧視，趙英還是有感的，她如此吐露心聲：

在當時，我們的「美國夢」似乎是由身上的膚色來決定的。我們發誓，無論我們做什麼，都要做到最好，好讓那些原本可能因為我們的種族膚色而看輕我們的人，回過頭來懇求我們與他們合作。

先忠與趙英在紐澤西居住了很長的一段日子，先忠在福斯特．惠勒工作了四十二年才退休。他們在紐澤西交到一批華人朋友，這些華人都已功成事就，屬高薪階層，因為年齡相仿，大多虎年出生，他們自稱「老虎團」，有四對夫婦經常在一起打網球、打橋牌、一起旅行出遊。先忠、趙英兩人在紐澤西的生活本來很順遂，生了兩個兒子，從南美洲請了一位女傭迪娜（Dina）來幫忙照顧孩子，因為趙英要教書工作。迪娜在他們家幫傭四十二年，已經成為他們家庭的一員，法雄及法乾也把迪娜當作義母看待。法雄、法乾在大學都念到碩士，法雄主修金融，法乾學經銷。先忠一家，其樂融融。可是，先忠在五十歲那一年（1986），心臟病發、心血管堵塞，這是我們家族的遺傳病，動了繞道的大手術。日後，先忠的血管毛病層出不窮，後來又開過幾次刀，2000年還裝過支架，幸虧先忠的身體底子本就強壯，意志力又堅強，所以心臟動過手術後，照樣運動、旅行。1985年，福斯特．惠勒公司派遣先忠赴北京參加高層工程會議，趙英隨行，這是兩人離開中國三十多年後，重返祖國，興奮之情難以形容。開完會後，他們轉到台北，終於見到趙英的大舅張學良和舅母趙一荻、趙四小姐。

多日雨。落雨聲響鎮壓過失語的街頭，時間在雨衣上流淌，低頭時，不自覺動了動鞋子裡發白的腳趾，隨著腳步移動，發出滑稽的聲音，嘲笑一般。

想像，臉頰上水痕直到原子，看見兩個H與O的連結，偶爾摻著一點S。跟人體裡的70%成分相同不是嗎？又幹嘛顯得厭煩沮喪呢？緊接從原子移出視角，Zoom out上升；離開潮濕的街道，飛離黑黃白藍傘花城市上空，脫出雨雲穿過平流層，直到暗色與白光交界的高度，比起無垠宇宙，還在愁容掛心陽台上沒乾的內褲的我是混蛋嗎？是吧。大概太自溺了，是吧。

仰頭看見傘下的日月仍然安好，時間緩行，腳下蕈菇蔓延，幾年前有留下一句，靜好與前行，如今雨來了，Be water，隨流而已。

title: 【自我成長】詹孟慧／孵一個潛水夢

content_text:
首次上課時，我自信滿滿，頭戴面鏡、嘴咬呼吸管、身穿防寒衣、套上蛙鞋，跟著教練的示範，輕輕一踢就快速向前游去，覺得好驚喜。

這原是我願望清單上停留在觀望階段的一項，登山、插花、鋼琴檢定……逐年達標，唯獨水肺潛水停滯不前，忖度著自己不知不覺已快到耳順，考量這項活動還是趁早學習較好，便帶著雀躍又惶恐的心情報名了。

我不怕水，一開始很輕鬆愉快，直到第二次水肺潛水的重裝備正式登場。教練示範如何將氣瓶、潛水背心、呼吸調解器等結合，接著在我腰部繫上左右各三公斤的鉛塊，全身近三十公斤的器材，準備下水時，我顫巍巍地不敢跨步入池，原來我懼高啊！眾目睽睽下，我咬牙閉眼，心想橫豎也就是一步向前。下水的那一刻，身體沒入水中，但身上的裝備幫助我一下子就浮出水面。

第三次比較熟悉潛水裝備的組裝及使用，背著氣瓶、咬著二級頭，就能如同在陸地般自在呼吸，如同魚兒般優游自得，我正感覺愜意，豈知不受控制的身體開始在水裡東倒西歪；更由於沒抓到要領，學不會面鏡排水，即使全力用鼻孔吐氣，鏡面依舊一片霧茫茫……教練連連搖頭，我也覺得灰心，只有靠著那些美不勝收的海底影像，鼓舞自己不要放棄。

經過一段時間的苦練，終於到了海洋實習的日子。在北海岸，我忐忑地跟著教練及學員著裝下到深不見底的海裡。第一天因為太緊張，頻頻喝到海水，苦不堪言，加上沒做好耳壓平衡，耳膜痛到幾度想放棄。在教練的耐心教導及鼓勵下，隔天逐漸掌握到鏡面排水及耳壓平衡的技巧。

在這個我曾經造訪無數次的海岸，以前只能眺望、瞻仰它，如今我竟能與熱帶魚群共游、來回穿梭於珊瑚礁中！這種滿足與成就感，將引領著我，繼續勇敢追夢！

title: 【女性成長】李巧薇／月光芭蕾

content_text:
晚間七時一到，放下鍋鏟、脫掉圍裙；換上舞衣、梳好包頭。

靛藍夜黑酒紅色的片裙，裙擺飄飄；粉晶水鑽寶石綠的髮夾，鬢邊閃耀。這是熱愛芭蕾的大齡女子們成為天鵝公主的夢幻時刻。婆家娘家頭家，拋諸腦後；瑣事家事育兒事，暫時放下。手放把杆、踮起舞鞋，小蹲、轉圈、大跳，跟著貝多芬〈月光〉翩翩起舞。

站在三面鏡的大教室裡，仔細端詳。生過孩子的腰腹早不復少女時堅實，拉拔兒女長大的臂膀也不再像當小姐時那樣有彈性。十八姑娘吹彈可破的肌膚已如陳年唱片有了深深的溝紋，曾經打籃球滿場飛，現在光是暖身都會喘。

老師的年紀足以當我的女兒，示範動作時總帶著笑；腿抬不起來或胯不夠開，一句「加油，有進步」的鼓勵，就能夠讓大家「再堅持一下」。偶有力不從心，或者偷懶不想練習的時刻，此時一起上課的夥伴就成了完課的動力，群組一聲吆喝，大家重整旗鼓，團結一心。

重心歪掉了，互相提醒；核心不夠力，彼此打氣。當我們終於完成一個Chasse（追趕步），加上Glissade（三連步）和最後的Grand Jeté（大跳躍），像「羽箭」般躍入空中時，心中的成就感難以言喻。雖然姿態不同、高度各異，但看著自己成功「平移」到對角線，「有到位」而非總是空轉，心底便是開心。

結束課程總是月上梢頭。汗如雨下，身似千斤；小臂痠痛、大腿無力；四肢雖不聽使喚，腦袋卻如水空明。已逾不惑之年的我，沒有白天鵝超塵超俗，也無黑天鵝妖冶魅惑；尚不到銀天鵝滿頭華髮，卻有醜小鴨般的堅強意志。即使下一秒像午夜鐘響的仙度瑞拉，恢復成柴米油鹽的灰姑娘；但月光下修長的影子是我的，比九十分鐘前的我輕盈有活力。

踩著清淡如水的月華一路回家，縱使無舞台、翅膀、紗裙與高光，它仍是屬於我的芭蕾獨舞，是獨一無二、身體力行的舞步。

「把拔，你愛我嗎？」我學小女兒的口吻，也向她爸爸撒嬌索愛。

「愛啊！」他頭也不抬地回答，感覺只是敷衍過去而已，於是我不滿地進一步追問：「那，有多愛呢？」「十分愛啊！」他只好以看似實際的數據更具體回應。

未料一旁的女兒竟落井下石，不懷好意笑嘻嘻地自行補上一句：「滿分可是一百喔！」

title: 【青春名人堂】海德薇／監獄裡的藍染課

content_text:
有一陣子我研究起三峽藍染，起因是我在三峽居住了十多年，卻對藍染歷史一知半解，總覺得愧對這片陪我走過許多歲月的土地，於是決定利用地利之便展開一場田野調查。

我到圖書館借來一本厚重得像辭海的《三峽鎮誌》，在密密麻麻、偏文言的語句中，慢慢梳理出脈絡。原來日據時代的三角湧（三峽舊名），居民會上山採摘野生大菁，作為藍染原料，當時老街後門就是清澈的三峽河，方便製作藍泥（染料）並清洗布料，完成的布匹則用船筏沿河送到艋舺販售。全盛時期三角湧街上有多家染坊，可惜工業染料問世後，天然藍染因成本高、易褪色而逐漸沒落。

做完紙本功課後，我開始「用兩條腿和一張嘴」深入田野，拜訪在地藍染老師。託朋友的介紹，認識了三角湧文化協進會的幾位老師，這才知道原來有一群老三峽人一直默默付出，堅持保存這份文化遺產，甚至每年舉辦布展與教學活動，精神令人敬佩。

陸續訪談近十位老師，每一位都是親切溫厚的藝術家。幾位老師聊到興起時，甚至直接從展示台上拿起自己的藍染作品，撕下價錢標籤，送我作為紀念，那份豪爽與熱情讓我深受感動，也把這些作品珍藏至今。

其中，最令我難以忘懷的，是寶桂老師到監獄教受刑人做藍染的故事。

老師說，第一次踏進監獄授課，她其實很緊張。剛走進教室，滿屋都是刺青滿身、眼神凌厲的受刑人，半胛、包手、龍虎滿背，目光冰冷，像是隨時會抄起椅子衝過來。她努力保持鎮定開始講解，發下材料後大家仍面露不屑，彷彿在說：「我一個大男人做這種手工藝，像話嗎？」

然而隨著課程一堂堂持續進行，大家竟逐漸打開心房，不但專心製作，還會主動與老師閒聊，談自己的故事與過往。雖然老師沒有透露細節，但她微笑著形容，那個午後，陽光斜斜地灑進教室，一群滿身刺青、看似兇狠的男人們，安靜地低頭專注於藍染，教室裡瀰漫著祥和氣氛，似乎內心也慢慢被洗滌。

我聽得鼻子一陣發酸，那一刻，三峽的藍不只是布上的顏色，更是一種被人守護著、細水長流的生命故事。
