Additionally, the Legislative Council passed an amendment to immigration law on April 28, effective August 1, which could potentially allow Hong Kong authorities to place exit bans on individuals seeking to depart the country, including non-residents.//
【防災救援倡議：宣導教育—建立韌性—採取行動】
當前的世界各國面臨諸多跨國挑戰。本著美台在人道援助及災害防救領域的穩健合作，美國在台協會推出「防災救援倡議活動：宣導教育—建立韌性—採取行動」（HADR）系列活動，期望能夠提升公眾對災難的認識，並支持台灣內外強化個人及社區的災害防救能力。
AIT美國公民服務組上個月與台北市政府官員一同觀摩市政府年度災害防救演習。超過1,400人在動物園站堤外停車場周圍參加了共計32項演習。觀摩項目包括災防告警訊息發布、地震及土石流災害搶救、飛機迫降救援、火警搶救及有毒物質處置等。AIT很高興能與台北市政府合作，進一步強化社區危機處理能力，並強調設立災難應對系統的重要性。
【Partners in HADR: Awareness – Resilience – Action】
Nowadays the world faces many challenges that are transnational in nature. Building upon the robust U.S.-Taiwan cooperation in the Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) space, AIT’s “Partners in HADR: Awareness – Resilience – Action” campaign aims to raise public awareness and support activities that foster personal and community resilience within and beyond Taiwan.
AIT American Citizen Services representatives joined Taipei municipal government officials in observing the city’s annual disaster prevention exercises last month at the embankment parking lot near Taipei City Zoo. More than 1,400 participants took part in a total of 32 drills. Activities viewed included disaster prevention and warning message release, earthquake and landslide rescue operations, aircraft forced landing rescue, firefighting operations and toxic material disposal. AIT is delighted to work with Taipei City to further strengthen community crisis management capabilities and stress the importance of disaster response systems.
[生活美語] 國際戀情實境秀 90 Day Fiancé
我們已經看過許多關於Netflix熱門節目的Po文，例如《后翼棄兵》和《鬼滅之刃》，但到底什麼節目是許多美國人觀看的？
We’ve seen many posts discussing hit shows on Netflix like the Queen's Gambit and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, but what's a show that many Americans watch?

One show that has shot up in popularity is the reality-show 90 Day Fiancé, an American reality television series on TLC that follows couples who have applied for or received a K-1 visa, which is issued to the foreign fiancé or fiancée of an American citizen to enter the United States. A K-1 visa requires a foreigner to marry his or her U.S. citizen petitioner within 90 days of entry, or leave the United States. Once the couple marries, the foreign citizen can adjust status to become a Green Card holder of the United States.
1. shoot up in popularity 快速爆紅
2. reality TV shows 電視實境節目
3. apply for 申請
4. a K-1 visa 未婚夫(妻)類簽證
5. petitioner 申請人
6. within 90 days of entry 入境90天以內
7. adjust status 調整身份；調整地位
8. a Green Card holder 綠卡持有人
真人實境節目《到美國結婚去》是一個快速爆紅的節目。這是美國旅遊生活頻道(TLC)上的真人秀電視劇集，節目內容追蹤已申請或獲得K-1簽證夫婦的動態，該簽證是核發給美國公民的外國未婚夫或未婚妻合法進入美國的。 K-1簽證要求外國人在入境後90天內與他或她的美國公民申請人結婚，否則必須離開美國。一旦夫妻結婚後，外國公民可以調整身份並成為美國綠卡的持有人。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
The show has seven spin-offs, including 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined, which follows the lives of previous 90 Day Fiancé couples during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of the couples featured on the show have also risen to Internet stardom, with some now having over a million Instagram followers.
9. spin-offs 衍生作品
10. the COVID-19 pandemic 新冠肺炎流行病
11. be featured on 擔任；出演
12. rise to stardom 成為明星
該節目有7個衍生作品，其中包括《到美國結婚去：自我隔離》，它追蹤之前90天未婚夫婦在新冠肺炎大流行期間的生活。許多節目中的新人也已經成為網紅，其中一些現在擁有超過百萬的Instagram粉絲。

So, what’s all the fuss about another reality show? Mostly its intriguing concept: Can a blossoming international romance survive the US immigration system? From there, of course, it descends into hour-and-a-half-long episodes of drama, and by drama, I mean acrimony—bitter, mesmerizing acrimony.
13. What’s all the fuss about…? …有什麼好大驚小怪的?
14. intriguing concept 有趣的概念
15. blossoming romance 逐漸成熟的戀情
16. the us immigration system 美國的移民體系
17. descend into 演變成；陷入
18. an hour-long episode 一個小時的劇集
19. drama 戲劇; 紛亂 ; 麻煩 ; 大件事
20. acrimony 充滿尖酸刻薄字句的指責與衝突
那麼，這部真人實境秀又有什麼好令人大驚小怪的呢？主要是它有趣的概念：逐漸成熟的國際戀情是否能在美國移民體系中生存？當然，這個概念墮落成了一個半小時的鬧劇, 我指的是那種充滿尖酸刻薄字句的指責與衝突, 卻又令人目不轉睛。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Some criticize the show for perpetuating stereotypes on race, ethnicity, and gender, while others claim that it showcases how love transcends all boundaries and borders. I won't spoil the entire show for you, but if you like the premise, check out the clips below. For most, it’s a guilty pleasure. Apparently, PewDiePie is also a “fan.”
21. perpetuate 使持續；使長存，使永恆
22. stereotypes 刻板印象
23. showcase (v.) 充分展示；展示…的優點
24. transcends all boundaries 超越所有的界限
25. spoil 使變壞
26. premise 前提
27. guilty pleasure 有罪惡感的愉悅
28. apparently 顯而易見地
一些人批評這個節目加深大眾對種族、民族和性別方面的刻板印象，而另一些人則主張該節目充分展示了愛情如何超越所有的界限與國界。我不會劇透整個節目，但是你喜歡這個劇情的前提下，請看下面的短片。對大眾而言，這是一種「有罪惡感的愉悅」。從以下的影片就可以看出（瑞典YouTube創作者）PewDiePie也是個「粉絲」。
