根據微軟Windows事業部產品經理Pete Bernard透露說法，表示與Qualcomm合作的Windows on Snapdragon計畫已經進入後期測試階段，預計與電信業者等進行系統相容測試與相關通路銷售規劃，藉由搭載eSIM通訊設計模式，將讓使用者能更進一步享有隨時連網、長時運作的Windows裝置使用體驗，宛如目前透過手機上網般直覺、方便。
在Windows on Snapdragon計畫合作中，除了可讓裝置享有常時連網、更長待機使用時間之外，更可藉由Snapdragon處理器發揮更高運算效能，而與Qualcomm合作之下，更可讓採用Snapdragon處理器的Windows 10裝置可直接相容既有應用程式與服務，即便是透過第三方平台管道取得應用程式也能以模擬方式達成相容目的，但實際運算效能可能多少會受影響。
他指出，中國信託秉持We are family的精神，推動藝文、慈善、反毒、教育、體育等公益，啟動善的循環，「就是因為珍惜我們的家人、社會，珍惜台灣這塊土地。」他期盼未來一年，大家懷抱「惜福」 、「惜情」、「惜緣」的新，為台灣「在所不惜」的付出，相信台灣明天會更好。「台灣2017代表字大選」票選結果今天公布，「茫」字在52個候選字 中拔得頭籌，獲選為今年的年度代表字。圖/聯合報提供分享
Have you ever wanted to visit a faraway place but can’t because it takes too long to get there? Someday soon you may be able to get there faster. A company called Space X is working on exactly that. The trip from New York to London takes about seven and a half hours by plane. Space X wants to fly rockets that will make the same trip in only 29 minutes.
Saving time when traveling has always been important to humans. The distance from Taipei to Kaohsiung is 361 km. That would take days on foot! Taking a car, bus or regular train will get you there in about four hours. The HSR (high speed rail) can do it in only one and a half hours! That means you have more time to do other things, like explore the city. Imagine the extra time you would have if you could take a rocket!
Even though getting to new places in a rocket would be very convenient, there are some problems too. The technology for a passenger rocket can look a lot like the same rockets that countries use to attack each other. Some people are worried it will be difficult to tell the difference between an intercontinental ballistic missile (IBM) and a passenger rocket.
Traveling by rocket may not be very comfortable. Rockets speed up very quickly, making some people sick.
火箭之旅也許會很不舒適。火箭加速極快，這會讓乘客感到身體不舒服。
不一定省時
It takes time to get everyone on and off of a train or plane. Some people think it will take even longer for rocket ship passengers. That means for some trips, it might not be faster than a regular airplane.
Rocket fuel is like gasoline for a car—it burns and leaves behind things that pollute our air.
火箭燃料就像汽車行駛需要汽油，燃料燃燒後，殘留的物質會汙染空氣。
票價昂貴
Sure, these rockets may be fast and cool, but how much are the tickets? Flying in an airplane from Taipei to Los Angeles costs thousands of dollars. The same trip could cost much, much more than that!
Space X is working on taking you to the other side of the world. In the future, they even want to fly passengers to the moon and build a city on Mars. In the meantime, they recently helped Taiwan. In August this year, Space X used their Falcon 9 rocket to launch Taiwan’s first homegrown satellite into space, the Formosat-5.
Space X正在研發地球上的火箭之旅，未來，甚至還可用火箭載客到月球，或到火星建造城市。Space X最近也協助臺灣，今年八月該公司的「獵鷹九號」火箭，將臺灣第一枚自主製造的「福衛五號」衛星，發射到太空裡。
道地說英語
skyrocket（像火箭一樣）一飛沖天
If something becomes very popular quickly, like those fidget spinners did, we might say that it skyrocketed. You might hear adults talk about the prices of things skyrocketing, or going up quickly.
