早報：特朗普威脅關(guān)閉政府；第七艦隊(duì)司令丟官

Good morning.

早安。

Here’s what you need to know:

以下是今天不容錯過的新聞：

• Analysts are poring over new hints from North Korea that it is developing more advanced, solid-fuel ballistic missiles. Such missiles are easier to transport and hide up to the moment of launch, reducing their vulnerability to a pre-emptive strike.

• 分析人士正在仔細(xì)研究朝鮮的最新暗示，即它正在研發(fā)更為先進(jìn)的固體燃料彈道導(dǎo)彈。這樣的導(dǎo)彈更易運(yùn)輸和隱藏，減少了他們遭受先發(fā)制人打擊的風(fēng)險。

The photo above, carried in the main state-run newspaper, showed what appeared to be a conceptual diagram for an “underwater strategic ballistic missile” with an extended range. Submarine launches are also harder to forestall.

上圖似乎是一個延長射程的“水下戰(zhàn)略彈道導(dǎo)彈”的概念圖，它刊登在一份主要的官方報紙上。潛艇水下發(fā)射同樣更難預(yù)防。

• In the Philippines, the death of 17-year-old has critics of President Rodrigo Duterte cautiously optimistic that public support for his drug war is eroding.

The Senate has opened an investigation, and Mr. Duterte has ordered that those responsible for the death be taken into custody.

• President Trump’s roiled relationship with Congress reached a new low, as lawmakers absorbed his threat to shut down the government if they do not fund his promised border wall with Mexico.

• 特朗普總統(tǒng)與國會之間的動蕩關(guān)系達(dá)到了新低，立法者扛住了如果不為他在墨西哥邊境筑墻的承諾出資，就讓政府關(guān)閉的威脅。

His relationship with Mitch McConnell, who as the Senate majority leader would play a central role in pursuing Mr. Trump’s legislative agenda, has disintegrated to the point that they have not spoken in weeks.

他與參議院多數(shù)黨領(lǐng)袖米奇·麥康奈爾(Mitch McConnell)的關(guān)系已經(jīng)到了幾周沒有說話的地步，后者在推進(jìn)特朗普的立法議程中扮演著核心角色。

• A long wait for South Korea ends Friday, when a verdict is expected in the blockbuster bribery trial of Jay Y. Lee, the heir to the Samsung empire.

• 韓國一個漫長的等待將于周五結(jié)束。三星帝國繼承人李在镕(Jay Y. Lee)的巨額賄賂案有可能作出裁決。

Prosecutors are under intense pressure to win a conviction. The defense insists evidence is lacking, and Mr. Lee maintains he was simply naïve in handling requests from a confidante of Park Geun-hye, the president ousted as the case exploded.

檢察官面臨很大的定罪壓力。辯方則堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為缺乏證據(jù)，李在镕堅(jiān)稱自己處理樸槿惠(Park Geun-hye)閨蜜的請求時太幼稚。案情敗露后，總統(tǒng)遭到彈劾。

The fliers, which circulated this week in Melbourne and Sydney, are the latest salvo in a heated national debate that has involved politicians, religious leaders and rallies, like the one above this month in Sydney.

本周在墨爾本和悉尼散布的傳單是這一全國性辯論中的最新炮火，政界人士、宗教領(lǐng)袖和集會(如上圖在悉尼的集會，攝于本月)在辯論中輪番上陣。

Back Story

幕后故事

We often go back in history for our back stories, but today we’re going way back.

我們經(jīng)?；仡檿r報以往的報道，今天我們要再往歷史深處追溯。

Mount Vesuvius erupted on this day in 79 A.D., burying the Roman town of Pompeii under a heap of ash, rocks and pumice.

公元前79年的今天，維蘇威火山(Mount Vesuvius)爆發(fā)，將羅馬小城龐貝掩埋在灰燼、巖石和浮石之下。

Most of what we know of the event we owe to Pliny the Younger, who described it in a letter to the Roman historian Tacitus. According to the account, in the early afternoon that day, Pliny’s mother told his uncle, Pliny the Elder, that “a cloud which appeared of a very unusual size and shape” was approaching.

我們對這一事件的了解主要仰賴于小普利尼(Pliny the Younger)，他在給羅馬歷史學(xué)家塔西陀(Tacitus)的信中描述了此事。據(jù)記載，當(dāng)天下午稍早時，小普利尼的媽媽告訴他的叔叔老普利尼(Pliny the Elder)，“一片看起來大小和形狀都十分怪異的云彩”正在飄來。

“I cannot give you a more exact description,” Pliny the Younger wrote of the cloud, “than by likening it to that of a pine-tree, for it shot up to a great height in the form of a very tall trunk, which spread itself out at the top into a sort of branches.”

“我給不出更準(zhǔn)確的描述了，” 小普利尼寫到這片云時說，“它像是一棵松樹，樹干長得極高，頂部像枝葉一樣散開。”

Pliny the Elder set off by boat to explore the cloud’s source, encountering “black pieces of burning rock” along the way. Yet he continued onward, reportedly telling his pilot, “Fortune favors the bold.”

老普利尼乘坐小船去探索這片云彩的來源，一路上遇到許多“滾燙的黑色石塊”。然后他繼續(xù)對船員說，“幸運(yùn)總是偏愛大膽的人。”

The maxim, however — at least that day — proved false.

然而這句格言被證偽了——至少在那天。

“He suffocated,” his nephew wrote, “by some gross and noxious vapor.”

“他悶死了”，侄子寫道，“被惡臭的毒氣。”
