Hello, I'm Wade Lee. Thank you for joining us on Funday News.

大家好，我是韋德-李。感謝您收看《午間新聞》。

It is Wednesday, April 9th, the International Day of Pink, and here are your top stories.

今天是 4 月 9 日星期三，國際粉紅日，以下是您最關注的新聞。

And for today's Taiwan news, a gas explosion at Taichung Xinkang Mitsukoshi on February 13th killed five and injured 38. Investigations now show the gas main valves was left open and the gas leak detector was removed. Xinzhong Gas may face responsibility as new evidence emerges.

今天的臺灣新聞是：2 月 13 日，臺中新光三越發生煤氣爆炸，造成 5 人死亡，38 人受傷。調查顯示，煤氣總閥門被打開，煤氣洩漏探測器被拆除。隨著新證據的出現，新中煤氣公司可能要承擔責任。

Former New Taipei City Labor Department Chief Xie Yirong has been indicted for corruption under the Anti-Corruption Act. After a hearing on April 8th, she was granted bail of 1 million NT dollars with restrictions including an electronic ankle bracelet and travel limitations.

前新北市勞動局局長謝怡蓉因涉嫌貪汙被依據《反腐敗法》提起公訴。在 4 月 8 日的聽證會後，她獲得 100 萬新臺幣的保釋金，但有電子腳鐐和旅行限制等限制。

She apologized to the public and her family. The U.S. Commerce Department is investigating whether TSMC's chips were illegally used in Huawei's AI processors, potentially violating export controls. TSMC may face a fine up to $1 billion. Additionally, President Donald Trump warned TSMC of a 100 percent tariffs if they do not build a factory in the U.S.

她向公眾和家人道歉。美國商務部正在調查臺積電的芯片是否被非法用於華為的人工智能處理器，這可能違反了出口管制。臺積電可能面臨高達 10 億美元的罰款。此外，美國總統唐納德-特朗普警告臺積電，如果不在美國建廠，將對其徵收 100% 的關稅。

And in global news, China said Tuesday it will fight to the end if President Donald Trump imposes an additional 50 percent tariffs on Chinese goods as many countries rush to negotiate trades with the United States. If the plan is fully implemented, the total tariffs on goods imported into the United States from China would be as much as 104 percent. In response, the Chinese Commerce Ministry said China firmly opposes Trump's tariffs threats, calling its previous countermeasures entirely justified.

在全球新聞方面，中國週二表示，如果美國總統唐納德-特朗普（Donald Trump）對中國商品徵收額外50%的關稅，中國將抗爭到底，因為許多國家正急於與美國進行貿易談判。如果該計劃得到全面實施，從中國進口到美國的商品的關稅總額將高達104%。對此，中國商務部表示，中方堅決反對特朗普的關稅威脅，稱此前的反制措施完全有理有據。

What's going to happen with the market, I can't tell you, but I can tell you our country has gotten a lot stronger. In response, the Chinese embassy in the U.S.

市場會發生什麼變化，我不能告訴你，但我可以告訴你，我們的國家變得更加強大了。作為迴應，中國駐美國大使館

accused Washington of economic bullying and said that Beijing will firmly safeguard its legitimate rights and interests. If Trump acts on his threat, U.S. companies could face a total rate of 104 percent on Chinese imports, as it would come on top of the 20 percent tariffs already put in place in March and the 34 percent announced last week. There are fears that this could deepen a trade war between the world's two biggest economies and global rivals. Trump also warned that all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us, on tariffs, will be terminated. Also on Monday, the U.S. president said he was not considering a pause on the global import tariffs to allow for negotiations with other countries. Garbage has piled up for a month in Birmingham during a dispute between the city and its trash collectors. It is an eyesore and offense to the nose. Mountains of garbage are said to be visible from space, and people have complained of seeing rats as big as cats in the refuse. Talks on Monday failed to reach an agreement, but were scheduled to resume Tuesday as the strike entered its fifth week.

特朗普指責華盛頓的經濟霸凌行為，並表示北京將堅決維護自身的合法權益。如果特朗普將其威脅付諸行動，美國公司可能面臨對中國進口商品徵收總稅率達 104% 的關稅，因為這是在 3 月已實施的 20% 關稅和上週宣佈的 34% 關稅之外的新稅率。人們擔心，這可能會加深世界上最大的兩個經濟體和全球競爭對手之間的貿易戰。特朗普還警告說，將終止與中國就關稅問題進行的所有會談。同樣在週一，美國總統表示，他不考慮暫停全球進口關稅，以便與其他國家進行談判。在伯明翰，垃圾已經堆積了一個月，因為該市與垃圾收集商之間發生了糾紛。這

Photos on news sites and social media shows furnitures, mattresses, and car bumpers illegally dumped alongside bulging trash bags.

新聞網站和社交媒體上的照片顯示，傢俱、床墊和汽車保險槓被非法傾倒在鼓鼓囊囊的垃圾袋旁。

What we're now seeing is accumulations of waste, up to 17,000 tons now, of uncollected waste, because of the escalation on the picket lines, that means that vehicles have been unable to leave the depots to undertake at least the weekly bin collection we've been managing to do through most of this industrial action. Members of UNITE, the union representing garbage truck workers, walked off the job on March 11 over the elimination of a job position and painful pay cuts. The council said it has made a reasonable offer, that the cuts would only affect a small number of jobs, and that the positions being eliminated are unnecessary.

由於糾察線的升級，我們現在看到的是堆積如山的垃圾，現在未收集的垃圾已高達 17000 噸，這意味著車輛已無法離開垃圾站，至少無法進行我們在此次工業行動的大部分時間裡一直設法進行的每週一次的垃圾收集工作。3 月 11 日，代表垃圾車工人的工會 UNITE 成員因一個工作崗位被取消和痛苦的減薪而罷工。理事會表示，它已經提出了合理的建議，削減僅會影響少數工作崗位，而且被取消的職位也沒有必要。

The labor-run Birmingham City Council is effectively bankrupt because of a settlement over historic pay discrimination. As a result, it is only providing services required by law, including waste collection. As heaps of black bags littered sidewalks, with their contents spilling out of holes chewed by critters, the city council declared a major incident to bring in additional cleanup crews and vehicles.

由於就歷史上的薪酬歧視達成和解，由工會管理的伯明翰市政委員會實際上已經破產。是以，它只能提供法律規定的服務，包括垃圾收集。由於人行道上到處都是成堆的黑色垃圾袋，裡面的垃圾從被小動物啃咬的洞中溢出，市議會宣佈發生重大事故，要求增派清理人員和車輛。

Japan's emperor, Naruhito, visited Iwajima on Monday and paid tribute to the thousands of Japanese and Americans who died in one of World War II's bloodiest battles. Naruhito and his wife, Empress

日本天皇成仁週一訪問了巖島，並向在第二次世界大戰最血腥的戰役之一中喪生的數千名日本人和美國人致敬。成仁和他的妻子皇后

Misako, prayed at three memorial sites, one for the Japanese soldiers, another for the islanders, and a third for both Japanese and American war dead. The couple offered a bouquet of white flowers and poured water over a cenotaph from a ladle to console those who died under the heat, suffering from hunger and thirst. They were due to meet with representatives of bereaved families and descendants of former island residents. The visit by the royal couple, both born after the war, is their first to Iwajima. In his 65th birthday remarks in February, Naruhito noted the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and stressed the importance of remembering wartime history and educating younger generations about its tragedy. Japan fought the war and invaded large areas of Asia in the name of his grandfather, Emperor Hirohito. The Battle of Iwajima lasted from February 19 to March 26, 1945, as the United States sought to take control of a key strategic point to advance toward mainland Japan. X is introducing stricter rules for parody accounts.

美佐子在三個紀念碑前祈禱，一個是日本阿兵哥紀念碑，另一個是島民紀念碑，第三個是日本和美國戰死者紀念碑。這對夫婦獻上了一束白花，並用勺子向墓碑澆水，以告慰那些在酷熱中因飢餓和乾渴而死去的人們。他們還將會見遺屬代表和前島上居民的後代。這對戰後出生的王室夫婦是首次訪問巖島。成仁在今年 2 月的 65 歲生日致辭中提到了二戰結束 80 週年，並強調了銘記戰時歷史和教育年輕一代瞭解戰時悲劇的重要性。日本以其祖父裕仁天皇的名義參戰並侵略了亞洲大片地區。巖島戰役從 1945 年 2 月 19 日持續到 3 月 26 日

Starting April 10th, accounts that impersonate another user or person must include keywords such as fake or parody at the beginning of their account names. The platform will also require parody account holders to use different images from the X account they seek to imitate. Some users have complained about confusion caused by parody accounts on the platform, such as those impersonating its owner Elon Musk. It encouraged affected accounts to update their profiles by the enforcement date. The changes will also apply to fan and commentary accounts. X rolled out labels for parody accounts in January, building on its rules requiring users engaging in impersonation for the purpose of entertainment to identify themselves as such. These rules, along with the platform's blue tick verification system, have been cited as tools to prevent misleading impersonation while allowing free speech and discussion. However, the effectiveness of such measures has been disputed. The EU stated in July 2024 that the blue ticks violated its online content rules, with verified blue tick accounts having the potential to deceive users. Unleashed at Expo 2025, Osaka as part of the Kawasaki Heavy Industry Pavilion-themed Mobile Instincts,

從 4 月 10 日起，冒充其他用戶或個人的賬戶必須在賬戶名開頭加上假冒或模仿等關鍵詞。平臺還將要求模仿賬戶持有者使用與他們試圖模仿的 X 賬戶不同的圖片。一些用戶抱怨平臺上的模仿賬戶造成了混亂，比如那些冒充平臺所有者埃隆-馬斯克（Elon Musk）的賬戶。該公司鼓勵受影響的帳號在執行日期前更新其配置文件。這些變化也將適用於粉絲和評論賬號。X 在 1 月份推出了針對模仿賬戶的標籤，以其要求以娛樂為目的進行模仿的用戶表明自己身份的規則為基礎。這些規則和平臺的藍勾驗證系統被認為是防止誤導性模仿的工具，同時允

CoreLeo is a futuristic off-road mobility concept. Combining the thrill of motorcycling with advanced robotics and designed to conquer mountains and traverse rugged terrains, the hydrogen-powered machine walks on four robotic legs equipped with adaptive hooves. Echoing

CoreLeo 是一種未來派越野移動概念車。這輛氫動力車將摩托車的快感與先進的機器人技術相結合，專為征服高山和穿越崎嶇地形而設計，它用四條配備自適應蹄鐵的機器人腿行走。呼應

Kawasaki's long-standing fun-to-ride philosophy, this concept offered riders a unique and exhilarating outdoor experience. CoreLeo represents the Japanese corporation's vision of mobility in 2050, where instinct, technology, and the natural environment move in sync. The chassis mimics the responsive feel of a motorcycle, but instead of wheels, it uses independently articulating legs with swing arms that absorb impact and adapt to uneven ground. Each leg ends in a hoof made from slip-resistant rubber, split left to right to conform to varied surfaces like grass, gravel, and rock. It maintains balance and stability while also keeping the rider's body in a forward- looking posture, even when ascending steep slopes or climbing steps. A 150cc hydrogen engine generates electricity for the leg-mounted drive units, powered by a rear-mounted hydrogen canister for low emissions and silent operation. The answer for yesterday was B, implement.

川崎公司長期以來一直秉承 "駕駛樂趣 "的理念，這一概念為駕駛者提供了獨特而令人興奮的戶外體驗。CoreLeo 代表了日本公司對 2050 年移動性的願景，即本能、技術和自然環境同步發展。它的底盤模仿了摩托車的靈敏感覺，但它使用的不是車輪，而是帶有擺臂的獨立鉸接腿，可以吸收衝擊力並適應不平的地面。每條腿的末端都有一個由防滑橡膠製成的蹄子，從左到右分開，以適應草地、礫石和岩石等不同表面。即使在上陡坡或爬臺階時，它也能保持平衡和穩定，同時還能讓騎行者的身體保持向前看的姿勢。一個 150cc 的氫氣發動機為腿部
