颱風假 （The Typhoon day off)  In Taiwan, typhoon days from July through November come with different faces that shape our experiences. Sometimes, they arrive as mild storms that transform into unexpected holidays, where families wake up to gentle rain and moderate winds, turning their homes into cozy retreats filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and homemade breakfast. Other times, these days bring intense weather conditions that command genuine respect – howling winds that bend trees, torrential rain that drums against windows, and news reports of rising river levels that remind us of nature's raw power.

翻譯練習 AI 充份利用了人們處理「數大」的弱項， 你不餵它就沒事了 不過因為是人類的弱項 所以你會一直餵 它會一直成長 算力也不斷精進 最終成為一輛人類共同發明、 製成且都一踴而上的失速列車。 AI fully exploits the human weakness in handling  'large numbers'.  If you don't feed it, there will be no issue.  However, because it is a human weakness,  you will keep feeding it.  It will continue to grow,  and its computational power will keep improving, ultimately becoming a runaway train that  humanity has collectively invented,  manufactured, and eagerly boarded.  來源: 與 Copilot 的交談， 2024/6/4 (1) Human vs. Machine Translation: Pros & Cons | TranslateSwift. https://translateswift.com/blog/comparing-ai-and-human-translation-advantages-and-disadvantages/.
