以下是今天不容錯(cuò)過(guò)的新聞：

• American officials in Afghanistan said that a promised increase in U.S. military personnel and air power was underway, just two days after President Trump announced a new strategy in a 16-year war that has defied solutions.

• 在阿富汗的美國(guó)官員表示，增加美國(guó)軍事人員和空軍力量的承諾正在兌現(xiàn)。兩天前，特朗普總統(tǒng)對(duì)這場(chǎng)持續(xù)了16年、使許多解決方案落空的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)宣布了一項(xiàng)新戰(zhàn)略。

Gen. John Nicholson, the commander for U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, announced in Kabul, above, that the influx of troops — mostly trainers — would continue for months.

美國(guó)和北約部隊(duì)在阿富汗的指揮官約翰·尼克爾森將軍(Gen. John Nocholson)在喀布爾宣布(上圖)，部隊(duì)(主要是培訓(xùn)人員)的流入將持續(xù)數(shù)月。

And the U.S. defense secretary, Jim Mattis, signaled on a visit to Kiev that the Trump administration was considering providing defensive weapons to Ukraine, which some European allies fear could inflame the confrontation with Russian-backed forces in the country’s east.

美國(guó)國(guó)防部長(zhǎng)吉姆·馬蒂斯(Jim Mattis)在訪問(wèn)基輔時(shí)表示，特朗普政府正在考慮向?yàn)蹩颂m提供防御性武器，一些歐洲盟友擔(dān)心這會(huì)激化與俄羅斯支持的武裝力量在該國(guó)東部的對(duì)峙。

President Trump attacked leaders of his own party on Twitter for failing to advance his agenda in Congress. Other targets of his morning tweetstorm: President Obama and Mr. Obama’s director of national intelligence, James Clapper Jr., who has questioned Mr. Trump’s fitness for office.

特朗普總統(tǒng)在Twitter上攻擊他所在黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，因其未能在國(guó)會(huì)上推進(jìn)自己的議程。他的晨間推特風(fēng)暴的攻擊目標(biāo)還有：奧巴馬總統(tǒng)以及他的國(guó)家情報(bào)總監(jiān)小詹姆斯·克拉珀(James Clapper Jr.)。克拉珀質(zhì)疑特朗普是否適合當(dāng)總統(tǒng)。

And our media analyst writes that Mr. Trump’s fierce attacks on the press — including calling journalists “sick people” — have heightened fears of physical attacks.

我們的媒體分析師寫(xiě)到，特朗普對(duì)于新聞界的猛烈攻擊——包括稱(chēng)新聞?dòng)浾邽?ldquo;令人作嘔的人”——加劇了人身攻擊的擔(dān)憂(yōu)。

The damage to the guided-missile destroyer is so extensive that Navy and Marine Corps divers are using hydraulic cutters to try to enter crushed and flooded berthing compartments where remains have been located.

這艘導(dǎo)彈驅(qū)逐艦損毀非常嚴(yán)重。海軍和海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì)潛水員正在使用液壓切割機(jī)嘗試進(jìn)入破損進(jìn)水的住艙，水兵的遺體仍在那里。

The week also included a visit with Egypt’s president, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, which was unexpectedly shadowed by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s decision to cut or delay nearly $300 million in aid.

本周他還與埃及總統(tǒng)阿巴德·法塔赫·塞西(Abdel Fattah el-Sisi)舉行了會(huì)談。由于國(guó)務(wù)卿蒂勒森(Rex Tillerson)決定削減、推遲3億美元的援助，令這次會(huì)面意外地蒙上了陰影。

Back Story

幕后故事

It all began with a question about L. Frank Baum’s off-the-cuff story about a faraway magical land. What, a child asked, was the name of this extraordinary place? Baum looked at a filing cabinet label, rejected “A-G” and went with “O-Z.”

一切都始于L·弗蘭克·鮑姆(L. Frank Baum)關(guān)于一片遙遠(yuǎn)的神奇土地的即興故事。一個(gè)孩子問(wèn)，這個(gè)不同尋常的地方叫什么名字?保姆看了一眼檔案柜的標(biāo)簽，拒絕了A-G，看向了O-Z。

That’s one origin story of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” the children’s book that became a celebrated movie, which opened in wide release in the U.S. on this day in 1939.

這是《綠野仙蹤》(The Wonderful Wizard of Oz)的起源故事。這本兒童書(shū)被改編成了一部著名的電影，于1939年的今天在美國(guó)大規(guī)模上映。

It took more than a few screenwriters (11 by one count) to adapt Baum’s vision into a girl’s dream of a land over the rainbow from Depression-era Kansas.

這部電影使用了很多編劇(準(zhǔn)確地說(shuō)是11個(gè))來(lái)將鮑姆的構(gòu)想改編成在大蕭條時(shí)代的堪薩斯，一個(gè)小女孩關(guān)于彩虹之上國(guó)度的夢(mèng)。

Theories about the story abound. Is the yellow brick road a metaphor for the gold standard in the late 1800s? Does the movie sync up with Pink Floyd’s album “The Dark Side of the Moon”?

關(guān)于這個(gè)故事的理論比比皆是。黃磚路是對(duì)19世界末金本位的隱喻嗎?電影與平克·弗洛伊德(Pink Floyd)的專(zhuān)輯《月之暗面》(The Dark Side of the Moon)相對(duì)應(yīng)嗎?

Some scholars are skeptical that Baum set out to write a populist allegory. (You’re on your own testing the Pink Floyd claim.)

一些學(xué)者懷疑鮑姆是在寫(xiě)一個(gè)民粹主義寓言(想要證實(shí)關(guān)于平克·弗洛伊德的猜測(cè)只能靠你自己了)。

But the charms of Baum’s tale endure. As a Times film critic wrote at the film’s debut, “It is all so well-intentioned, so genial, and so gay that any reviewer who would look down his nose at the fun-making should be spanked and sent off, supperless, to bed.”

但鮑姆故事的魅力持久不衰。時(shí)報(bào)一位電影評(píng)論家在電影初次上映時(shí)寫(xiě)道，“它完全出于善意，那么親切，那么快樂(lè)，任何看不起創(chuàng)造快樂(lè)的評(píng)論者都該被打屁股，然后不許吃晚飯就被送去睡覺(jué)。 ”
