今日快讯。
Today’s edition of quick hits.
- 随着唐纳德·特朗普似乎急于淡化涉及黄仁勋的所谓间谍丑闻，《纽约时报》这篇新报道颇具看点：“知情人士称，特朗普总统在5月乘坐空军一号前往中国途中被告知，美国已获得敏感情报，显示英伟达首席执行官与一名被认为是中国间谍的女子有关系。”
- With Donald Trump seemingly desperate to downplay an alleged spy scandal involving Jensen Huang, this new reporting by The New York Times is certainly interesting: “President Trump was told aboard Air Force One in May en route to China that the United States had obtained sensitive intelligence showing that Nvidia’s chief executive was in a relationship with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy, people with knowledge of the matter said.”
- 相关报道：“高级共和党议员正考虑就黄仁勋与一名涉嫌中国间谍的婚外情调查英伟达，这使特朗普总统对该科技巨头的强力辩护与其党内成员日益加剧的审查形成对立。”
- In related news: “Senior Republican lawmakers are considering investigating Nvidia over CEO Jensen Huang’s affair with an alleged Chinese spy, putting President Donald Trump’s strong defense of the tech titan at odds with mounting scrutiny from members of his own party.”
- 我想听到一个可信的解释：“根据航班追踪数据，周一有数架美国军机离开英国的一座空军基地——这是两个月内美国军方资产第二次从英国基地重新部署。”
- I’d love to hear a credible explanation for this: “Several U.S. military aircraft left a British air force base in England on Monday, according to flight tracking data — the second time U.S. military assets have redeployed from British bases in two months.”
- 特朗普周一表示，对伊朗的军事行动已不再是‘非常必要的事情’。奇怪的是，我认为八个月前它也并非‘非常必要的事情’。
- Trump said Monday that military action in Iran no longer seems to be “a very necessary thing.”Oddly enough, I’d argue that it wasn’t “a very necessary thing” eight months ago, either.
- 对于那些急于在一场失败的战争中寻找积极面的人士：“研究人员周一称，全球化石燃料排放有望在2026年略有下降，因为美国对伊朗的战争导致许多国家削减石油和天然气使用。”
- For those eager to find silver linings to a failed war: “Global fossil fuel emissions are on track to fall slightly in 2026, as disruptions caused by the U.S. war with Iran forced many countries to cut back on their use of oil and gas, researchers said on Monday.”
- 在联合国：“美国将于周二成为自二十年前该机构成立以来，首个完全回避在人权理事会常规审议其人权记录的国家。”
- At the United Nations: “The United States is set Tuesday to become the first country to fully shun a regular review of its human rights record at the U.N.’s top rights body since it was created two decades ago.”
- 正确的决定：“联邦上诉法院法官小组周二维持恢复迈克尔·阿布拉莫维茨为美国之音台长的命令，尽管特朗普政府曾试图将其免职。”
- The right call: “A federal appeals court panel Tuesday upheld an order restoring Michael Abramowitz as director of Voice of America, despite the Trump administration’s efforts to remove him.”
- 错误裁决：“美国最高法院周一为特朗普政府在得克萨斯州美墨边境修建围墙的项目扫清了障碍，大法官凯坦吉·布朗·杰克逊持异议。”
- The wrong call: “The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for a Trump administration wall construction project along the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, over dissent from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.”
- 值得注意的背景是，这位得克萨斯州共和党人上周连任，但只以几个百分点的优势获胜：“众议员兰斯·古登（共和党-得克萨斯州）正遭到国会调查，指控他不当寻求纳税人报销‘奢侈’差旅费用，其中一些可能与其工作无关，并将竞选资金挪用于个人旅行。”
- It’s worth noting for context that this Texas Republican won re-election last week, but only by a few points: “Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas) is under congressional investigation for allegations that he improperly sought taxpayer reimbursement for ‘extravagant’ travel expenses, some of which may be unrelated to his job, and misspent campaign funds on personal trips.”
- 此类报道不断涌现：“根据记录和采访，特朗普政府在一家与总统唐纳德·特朗普两个大儿子有关联的公司投资于其母公司仅几个月后，向一家小型生物安全公司拨款近4000万美元，用于筛查埃博拉和其他传染病。”
- Reports like these keep piling up: “The Trump administration awarded a small biosecurity company nearly $40 million to screen for Ebola and other infectious diseases just months after a firm linked to President Donald Trump’s elder sons invested in its parent company, according to records and interviews.”
- 值得关注的案件：“美国研究人员和倡导团体周一起诉国家科学基金会，以制止政府对社会科学资金的削减。”
- A case worth watching: “American researchers and advocacy groups sued the National Science Foundation on Monday to halt the erosion of government funding for social sciences.”
- 正好赶上退伍军人节：“那些匿名艺术家在华盛顿周边竖立了十多座雕像和装置，嘲讽总统唐纳德·特朗普及其政府，周一再次出击，这次是一座嘲讽特朗普因骨刺而逃避服兵役的雕像。”明天见。
- Just in time for Veterans Day: “The anonymous artists who have taunted President Donald Trump and his administration with more than a dozen statues and installations around Washington struck again Monday, this time with a statue mocking Trump for avoiding military service because of bone spurs.”See you tomorrow.
