According to Statista, by 2021 there were over 3.2 billion video game players in the world. And both the video game industry and its players have developed many abbreviations for talking about gaming.
An "RPG" is a "role-playing game," or a game where the player controls one or more characters that go on a quest, getting more powerful as the story continues. The world's top-selling RPG series is Pokémon, with over 380 million games sold.
Before video games went online, people could usually only play in pairs or maybe up to four or sometimes six players. But today, gamers can enjoy "MMOs" — "massively multiplayer online" games that let many people play the same game at once.
Popular MMOs include Fortnite and League of Legends, both of which are "F2P," or "free to play." F2P players can enjoy the basic game, but may have to pay for things like better weapons or nicer character designs.
"GG" means "good game," and is often written at the end of online games. Like a handshake, typing "GG" shows that you had fun and thought the other players did great too.

👉Summary
「RPG」是「角色扮演遊戲」，或是玩家操控一位以上角色進行冒險，且隨著故事發展變得更強大的遊戲。 全球最暢銷的RPG系列是《寶可夢》，賣出超過3.8億片的遊戲。現在，玩家可以享受「MMO」，也就是「大型多人線上遊戲」。知名的大型多人線上遊戲包括《要塞英雄》和《英雄聯盟》，兩款都是「F2P」免付費遊戲。 F2P玩家可以享受基本的遊戲內容，但也可以付費買更好的道具。「GG」的意思是「很好的遊戲」，經常會用在線上遊戲結束時。 就跟握手一樣，打出「GG」表示你玩得很開心，也覺得其他玩家表現得很好。有趣的是，台灣網友也會把GG用來表示「完蛋了」的意思。

👉Article
At 5,895 meters tall, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania isn't just the tallest mountain in Africa. It's also the tallest free-standing mountain in the world, which means it's the tallest mountain that isn't part of a mountain range.
It's actually a volcano, and it has three cones. Two of the cones are extinct, but one could erupt again — although it hasn't erupted for 360,000 years.
Mount Kilimanjaro is so tall that there's always snow on the top. However, some scientists think all the snow could melt as Earth gets warmer. In 1973, the mountain and the forests around it all became part of Kilimanjaro National Park to try to protect the area.
In 1889, German geologist Hans Meyer, Austrian climber Ludwig Purtscheller and their guide Yohani Kinyala Lauwo became the first people to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
Now about 30,000 people climb the mountain every year. It's thought of as the easiest of the world's tallest mountains to climb because you don't need any special skills or climbing equipment.
But that doesn't mean it's easy. About 30% to 50% of climbers fail to get to the top.
All kinds of people have climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. American Anne Lorimor has the Guinness World Record for being the oldest person to climb it. In 2019, she got to the top aged 89.
👉Summary
吉力馬札羅山是一座有三座山峰的火山。 其中兩座是死火山，有一座還有可能再次噴發——雖然它已經有36萬年沒有爆發了。吉力馬札羅山的海拔很高，所以山頂總是有積雪。 不過，有些科學家認為所有的積雪，可能隨著全球暖化而融化。目前每年大約有3萬人攀爬此山。它被認為是最容易攀登的世界最高山，因為不需要任何特殊技能或攀登設備也能爬。

👉Words & Phrases
range山脈
volcano火山
cone圓錐體

👩‍🏫 Host：Jenny
👩‍🦰 Guest：匈牙利 Christina

「吃飯也能反映文化差異？」😯
這一集，主持人 Jenny 與來自匈牙利的 Christina，
聊到她對台灣「快文化（fast-paced culture）」的驚訝！

在台灣，午餐常常是「30分鐘內解決戰鬥」⏰；
但在匈牙利，用餐是一種享受與社交儀式——
午餐至少一小時，週末更會邊吃邊聊兩到三小時，
不只是吃飯，更是一種「生活的節奏」。☕🍲

Christina 也分享了她對比文化的觀察：
🇭🇺 匈牙利高中食堂像餐廳一樣，有前菜、主菜、甜點，節奏悠閒～
🇹🇼 台灣學生則快速排隊、十分鐘掃光餐盤，立刻回教室！

而最有趣的文化衝擊是——
❌ 匈牙利人不給客人喝白開水！
❄️ 飲料中也不會加冰塊！
這背後其實藏著匈牙利人的 健康觀與待客哲學，
他們認為「太冷」的水對身體不好，溫暖與關懷從一杯常溫水開始～💗

📘 本集三個單字筆記本 Vocabulary Notes
1️⃣ Soda – 汽水 🥤
2️⃣ Nutrition – 營養 🍎
3️⃣ Ice cube – 冰塊 🧊

🎙️ 一起收聽本集節目，
從「餐桌速度」看見文化的溫度， 學英文、聊文化，也重新思考——慢慢來，也許真的比較快 💬🌍

👉Article
Celebrities may live exciting lives, but sometimes we're reminded that they have bad days too. Hollywood actor Tom Cruise had a very bad day recently: he was filming a new movie in the UK when his car was stolen.
The actor was in Birmingham to film the seventh Mission: Impossible movie when his $130,000 BMW X7 was stolen while it was parked outside the Grand Hotel Birmingham.
Several thousand dollars of luggage was also in the car when it was stolen.
Like something from the Mission: Impossible films, it's believed that the car was stolen by copying the signal from its electronic key.
Cruise was lucky, though: police were able to quickly find the car because it had a tracking device. However, everything inside the car was already gone.
Cruise had already caused a lot of excitement in the UK before his car was stolen. The actor has been seen filming at Grand Central shopping center in Birmingham, and a few days earlier, his helicopter landed in a family's garden.
The family did not know that Cruise would be in the helicopter, and were only told that a "VIP" needed somewhere to land because the nearby airport was closed. Cruise then let the family's children ride in the helicopter while he was in a meeting.

👉Summary
好萊塢演員湯姆克魯斯在伯明罕拍攝《不可能的任務7》，他價值13萬美金的愛車停在伯明罕大飯店外時遭到偷竊。價值數千美金的行李也在失竊的車子上。就跟《不可能的任務》電影裡情節一樣，據傳該車是經由複製電子鑰匙的訊號而偷走的。由於這輛車有追蹤裝置，所以警方很快便找出它的下落。 但是車裡的所有東西都已不翼而飛。

👉Words & Phrases
device裝置
tracking追蹤
signal訊號

去倫敦只能走路、騎腳踏車或搭觀光巴士嗎？
現在有一種 超～特～別～的方式 👀
坐在「熱水澡船」裡逛城市！

👉Article
Visitors to London can explore the UK capital in a few different ways: by foot, by bike or even on an open-top bus. But one company is offering a whole new way to spend time in the city with their hot tub boats.

The company, Skuna, offers private boats to rent in which up to seven people can see the city while relaxing in a hot tub.

The wood-fired hot tubs are heated to 38 degrees Celsius, so the boats run all year round, even when it's snowing.

The boats themselves are electric and can be driven without any experience. After a short lesson, one group member can drive their boat around Canary Wharf for up to 1 hour 15 minutes.

The boats cost about $310 to $350, and customers can also buy alcoholic drinks from the company to enjoy in the hot tub.

In August, the company started offering the boats in Alexandra Lake in Essex, south England, too.

For those who don't want to get wet, the company offers barbecue boats. These boats cost about $200 to $350 and can seat up to nine people, who will get 1 hour 40 minutes on the water to explore Canary Wharf.

Right now, customers need to bring their own food to cook on the boat's barbecue, but Skuna will soon start offering its own food.

👉Summary
有家名為Skuna的公司提供一款特殊的船隻供租借，船隻設計是一個熱浴缸，最多可以容納七個人。大家可以泡在熱浴缸裡放鬆，一邊欣賞該城市。這個熱浴缸能夠加熱到攝氏38度，所以該船隻全年皆運行，即便下雪的時候也是。船隻本身是電力發動，只要上完簡短的課程，沒有經驗的人也能駕駛。這些船隻的費用約310到350美金，消費者也能夠跟該公司買酒在熱浴缸裡享用。

✨Article
Music is everywhere in our lives, and everywhere in the English language! Here are some common expressions that use songs and singing in many different ways.
If you buy or sell something "for a song," you do so for very little money. This expression was first used in writing in 1596, at a time when people singing in the street were given coins worth a very small amount by those walking past — so their songs weren't worth very much.
To "make a song and dance" about something means to act as though it's more important than it really is. A "song and dance" is a type of show, so to act in this way is to behave like a performer.
To have "a song in one's heart" means to be extremely happy. Throughout the history of the English language, the heart was often thought of as the part of the body that controls our emotions, and this is the meaning of the word that the expression uses.
A "swan song" is the last action or activity in the career of a person or group, such as a musician or band. It comes from the ancient Greek belief that swans sing a song before they die.

✨Summary
如果你說「buy or sell something "for a song"」，就表示你用「非常便宜」的價格買或賣某個東西。這個慣用語最早在1596年於書寫中使用，當時路過的人會給予在街上賣藝唱歌的人面額非常小的銅板，所以他們的歌曲並不是太值錢。「To "make a song and dance" about something」，指對某件事「小題大作」。「song and dance」---「歌舞」，是一種表演形式。以歌舞的方式來行動，就是表現得像一個浮誇的表演者。「have a song in one's heart」的意思是極度開心。
 在英文這個語言的歷史中，心（heart）經常被認為是身體中控制情緒的部位，這也是這個慣用語使用的單字意思。A "swan song"是一個人或一個團體，在職涯中的最後一個活動。這個俚語是源自古希臘的信仰，認為天鵝在死亡前會唱一首歌。
