These achievements are a tribute to the unity and cooperation the people of Taiwan have shown. In addition to the medical and quarantine personnel who have worked so hard, we also thank the manufacturing industry for cooperating to produce pandemic prevention supplies, the high-tech industry for developing apps, our pharmacists and convenience store employees for helping distribute face masks, and the public for following our disease control measures in an orderly manner.

🇹🇼 Unity and cooperation to overcome challenges

Just like everything Taiwan has experienced over the past 71 years, hardships have forged our resiliency, and challenges have inspired our resolve. This pandemic can consolidate a sense of unity among Taiwanese, and give us the courage to continue moving forward.

🔥 Uber Under Pressure to Beef Up Food Delivery
新冠疫情之下，優步食品外送業務的壓力倍增

- beef up 增強，加強
✍️ beef 除了牛肉之外，也有「力量」之意

🧐 After a failed bid for Grubhub Inc., GRUB 4.42% the ride-hailing giant is trying to buy much smaller food-delivery company Postmates Inc. as it seeks surer footing in the era of Covid-19.
競購 Grubhub Inc. （GRUB）失敗後，這家網約車服務巨頭正試圖收購規模較小的外賣公司Postmates Inc.，以期在新冠疫情下站穩腳步。

- bid 投標，競標
- ride-hailing 叫車/網約車
- giant 巨頭、巨擘、大公司

🏢 The San Francisco-based company needs to get stronger in the competitive world of food delivery as the pandemic has crushed its rides business and surging infections have subsumed early hopes for an economic recovery and people returning to offices.
由於疫情已嚴重衝擊其網約車業務，感染病例激增也讓經濟復甦和人們重返辦公室更遙遙無期，這家總部位於舊金山的公司需在競爭激烈的外賣領域中更加茁壯。

- San Francisco-based （地名-based）總部設在…的
- surging 急遽上升的
- subsumed 將…歸入，把…納入

🥡 The food-delivery industry was ripe for consolidation even before the pandemic hit, as the biggest companies turned their sights toward making profits on the heels of fast and expensive growth and amid increasingly overlapping markets. As consumers stayed home to stop the spread of the virus, food-delivery became a lifeline for restaurants battered by lockdowns and a relative area of activity in a deteriorating economy.
早在疫情出現前，外賣行業的整合時機便已成熟，在快速且高成本的增長及市場日益重疊的情況下，最大的幾家公司將目光轉向了盈利。由於消費者待在家中防疫，美食外送業務成為受到封鎖的餐飲業的一條救生索，同時也是不斷惡化的經濟中相對活躍的一個領域。

- be ripe for… 時機成熟的；適宜的
- consolidate 聯合，統一；合併/ 鞏固，加強，強化
- deteriorating 惡化的、墮落的

👔Mark Zuckerberg Asserts Control of Facebook, Pushing Aside Dissenters
馬克祖克柏宣示掌控臉書大權，排除異己者

🏅In December, Facebook Inc.’s top brass gathered at Mark Zuckerberg’s beachfront estate in Kauai, Hawaii, for an unusual board meeting to discuss how to redirect the company after years of turmoil.

接著幾個月內，臉書宣布了兩名董事離職，董事會加入一位祖克柏的老朋友。這些變動是這位首席執行長過去兩年來在公司內爭權作戰的高潮，以鞏固他在自己16年前共同創辦公司裡的決策地位。
