📰 Taipei to simulate Level 4 COVID alert Sunday
🀄 台北週日模擬 4 級 COVID 警戒
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taipei City Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) has announced there will be a Level 4 drill on Sunday (May 30).
📌 台北(台灣新聞)—台北市市長柯文哲宣布將於週日(5月30日)舉行4級演習。
The drill will include store closures, restrictions on residents leaving their homes, and limited transportation, in preparation for an eventual general lockdown, CNA reported Friday (May 28). Ko emphasized that he hoped a real Level 4 lockdown would not be necessary, but since the situation remained serious, it was possible and best to be prepared, UDN reported.
📌 據 CNA 週五報導，演習將包括關閉商店、限制居民離開家園和限制交通，為最終的全面封鎖做準備。據 UDN 報導，柯強調，他希望沒有必要進行真正的 4 級封鎖，但由於情況仍然嚴重，因此有可能要做最好的準備。
While Taipei discussed the possibility of a lockdown last year, it was a theoretical exercise that was deemed to be unlikely, the mayor said. Conducting a new simulation was necessary, Ko concluded.
📌 台北市長說，雖然台北去年討論了封鎖的可能性，但被認為不太可能，只是理論上的做法。 柯總結說，進行新的模擬是必要的。
The mayor told reporters he never expected the pandemic to develop to a point where Taiwan confirmed 200 to 300 new COVID cases per day. He added there had fortunately not been a further explosion in the number of cases so far, but it was important to use experience gained over the past year to handle developments.
📌 市長告訴記者，他從未預料到大流行會發展到台灣每天確診 200 至 300例的地步。他補充說，幸運的是，到目前為止案件數量沒有進一步激增，但重要的是利用過去一年中獲得的經驗來處理事態發展。

a week, she complained all the week. So I gave up.
note: stingy 這個形容詞，是個非常general、他和"mean"是最常用來指"吝嗇的"的形

substance)]
