​

🪖 德國青壯年男性長期出國須報備？​

Lily
​Hey, Columbus, why do you look a little tired today?
​哥倫布，你今天怎麼看起來有點累？

哥倫布
​Well, I got up early to catch the live stream of the Artemis II crew returning to Earth.
​嗯，我一大早起來看阿提米絲 2 號任務太空人返回地球的直播。

Lily
​Oh wow, I didn’t know you were into space.
​哇，我都不知道你對太空有興趣。

哥倫布
​I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan. But this mission is a big deal. They set a new record for the farthest distance humans have traveled from Earth. Besides, the four astronauts have so much charisma that I’ve become a fan. 🤩
​也不能說超級有興趣啦，但這次任務真的很重要。他們創下了人類飛離地球最遠距離的新紀錄。而且那四位太空人都很有魅力，我已經變成粉絲了。🤩

Lily
​I get that. Their interviews in space were really inspiring. The part that really stood out to me was when one astronaut said, “We will explore, we will build… But ultimately, we will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other.” ♥️
​我懂，他們在太空接受訪問時說的話很激勵人心。我印象最深刻的是有位太空人說：「我們會探索，我們會建設⋯⋯但最終，我們永遠會選擇地球，選擇彼此。」♥️

哥倫布
​Yeah, that was powerful. Another moment that felt very human was when they named a newly discovered lunar crater “Carroll” after Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife. That was incredibly touching.
​對啊，那段真的很深刻。我覺得另一個很有人情味的時刻，是他們把新發現的月球坑命名為「Carroll」，那是任務指揮官 Reid Wiseman 已故妻子的名字，實在非常感人。

Lily
​Totally. NASA really tried to make the mission relatable. They even shared the astronauts’ daily wake-up playlists.
​沒錯。NASA 很努力讓大家對這次任務產生共鳴。他們甚至還分享了太空人的每日喚醒歌單。

哥倫布
​Actually, I’ve already set it as my alarm. Who knows? Maybe fifteen years from now, I’ll be an astronaut too.​
其實我已經把那個歌單設成我的鬧鐘了。誰知道呢？說不定十五年後我也能當上太空人。

Lily
​That’s really shooting for the moon! But you do know one of the basic requirements is at least 1,000 hours flying jet planes, right?
​這個志向很遠大！不過你知道成為太空人的基本條件之一，是至少要有 1,000 小時駕駛噴射機的經驗吧？

哥倫布
​I’m basically a seasoned pilot already—well, at least in flight simulator games. 😉​
我早就是資深飛行員了——嗯，至少在飛行模擬遊戲中。😉

😎「令我印象深刻」的英文要怎麼說？
​我們可以用 stand out to me 來表達某個人事物令你留下深刻印象。譬如：Her ability to remain calm stands out to me.（她保持冷靜的能力讓我印象深刻。）我們還可以用 make an impression on someone 表示「給某人留下印象」。譬如：He made a great impression on the hiring manager during the interview.（他在面試時讓招募主管留下深刻的印象。）

​
​🌖「shoot for the moon」是什麼意思？​
​Shoot for the moon 意思是「設定很高的目標」。譬如：She’s shooting for the moon by training for the Olympics.（她設定了很高的目標，為參加奧運而進行訓練。）相似意思的俚語還包括 aim for the stars 或 dream big。

South Korea’s National Intelligence Service says Kim Jong Un’s teenage daughter, Kim Ju Ae, may now be seen as his possible successor. The assessment is the agency’s strongest statement yet on this issue. The claim has drawn wide attention, especially as Ju Ae’s public appearances have increased.

In recent years, Kim Ju Ae has appeared frequently at high-profile events. She has attended missile tests, visited weapons factories, and even fired guns with military officials at drills. Recent official images show her driving a tank with her father, suggesting an effort to present her as confident and capable.

If she eventually takes power, she would become the fourth-generation leader of the Kim family, which has ruled North Korea since 1948. However, her future is not certain, as the country’s male-centered system may resist a female successor. Experts say Kim Jong Un is unlikely to step down anytime soon, but the growing signs suggest a long-term succession plan is already underway.

你看得懂多少呢？試著回答以下題目吧：

1. 關於金主愛亮相的場合，文中未提及下列何者？​
   ​A. 軍事演練
   B. 駕駛坦克車​
   C. 北韓共產黨大會
2. 根據文章，下列敘述何者正確？​
   ​A. 金主愛被正式任命為接班人​
   B. 北韓對女領導人接受度未明​
   C. 金正恩預計將於近年卸任

1. 第二段提到近年來金主愛參與飛彈測試、拜訪武器工廠，甚至 fired guns with military officials at drills（在軍事演練中與軍方人員一起射擊）。另外，最近的官方影像顯示她 driving a tank with her father（跟父親一起駕駛坦克車）。沒有提到她在北韓共產黨大會中亮相。所以答案選 C。
   ​
2. 第一段提到南韓國家情報院說，金主愛 may now be seen as his possible successor（現在可能已被視為金正恩的準接班人），並非北韓已正式任命接班人。第三段提到北韓以男性為主導的體制可能會 resist a female successor（抗拒一位女性接班人）。另外，專家說金正恩 unlikely to step down anytime soon（短期內不太可能下台）。所以正確答案選 B。

南韓國家情報院表示，金正恩的青少女女兒金主愛，現在可能已被視為他的準接班人。這項評估是該機構至今對此議題最明確的一次表態。隨著金主愛公開露面的次數增加，接班說法也引發廣泛關注。

近年來，金主愛頻繁出現在各種重要場合。她曾出席飛彈試射、參觀武器工廠，甚至在軍事演練中與軍方人員一起射擊。近期的官方影像顯示，她與父親一同駕駛坦克，似乎有意塑造她自信且具備能力的形象。

如果她未來真的接班，將成為自 1948 年以來統治北韓的金氏家族第四代領導人。不過，她的未來仍存在不確定性，因為北韓社會以男性為主導，對女性接班人可能有所抗拒。專家指出，金正恩短期內不太可能交出權力，但越來越多跡象顯示，一項長期的接班布局計畫已經在進行中。

🟦 爭議一：損害人民遷徙自由

Given that extended travel and temporary residence abroad are common among Germans, requiring people to report their plans and obtain approval is considered a curtailment of the freedom of movement protected by the Basic Law.

考量到長期旅行或暫時旅居國外，對德國人而言相當普遍，要求民眾事前報備並取得核准，被認為是在限縮《基本法》所保障的遷徙自由。

🟨 爭議二：性別平權的疑慮

While the government stresses gender equality within the armed forces, compulsory service–related measures apply only to men. Some critics argue that the government should consider revising the Basic Law to include women in conscription.
​儘管政府強調軍隊中的性別平權，與義務役相關的措施卻只適用於男性。一些批評者認為，政府應考慮修訂《基本法》，將女性也納入徵兵範圍。

🟦 爭議三：軍事化社會的陰影

Since World War II, Germany has remained committed to demilitarization, with a strong focus on peace in its society. Many young people have little interest in engaging in military operations and are concerned that such policies could undermine existing values and social consensus.​
​自第二次世界大戰以來，德國一直致力於去軍事化，重視社會和平。許多年輕人對參與軍事行動興趣不高，也擔心這類政策可能動搖既有的價值與社會共識。

🟨 爭議四：政策制定缺乏事先溝通

Although the law came into force in January, the provision that has recently sparked controversy went largely unnoticed during the legislative process. It was not until April that the media brought it to public attention. This gap in public awareness has prompted criticism that the government failed to communicate proactively.​
​雖然該法律已於一月生效，但這項最近引發爭議的規定，在立法過程中幾乎沒人注意到，直到四月才被媒體揭露並引起關注。這種資訊落差引發外界批評，認為政府未主動積極對外溝通。

1. curtailment (n.) 縮減、限制
2. conscription (n.) 徵兵
3. consensus (n.) 共識
4. proactively (adv.) 積極主動地

1. The war has resulted in the ________ of thousands of flights.
2. There was a lack of ________ in his team on the sales target.

1. The war has resulted in the curtailment of thousands of flights.
   ​這場戰爭已導致數千個航班的縮減。​
2. There was a lack of consensus in his team on the sales target.
   ​他的團隊對於銷售目標缺乏共識。
