||1:America and China started a trade war, the world’s worst such dispute in decades.||2:America imposed tariffs on $250bn-worth of Chinese products; China responded with tariffs of its own.||3:America also slapped duties on steel imports from Europe, Canada, Mexico and elsewhere, infuriating its allies.||4:Donald Trump intervened on national-security grounds to scupper a $117bn bid from Broadcom, a chipmaker with ties to South-East Asia, for Qualcomm.||5:It would have been the biggest-ever tech merger.||6:There was one de-escalation: America, Canada and Mexico struck a deal to update NAFTA.

||1:美国和中国开始了一场贸易战，这是几十年来全球最严重的一次贸易争端。||2:美国对价值2500亿美元的中国产品征收关税；中国也发起相同措施作为反击。||3:美国还对从欧洲、加拿大、墨西哥和其他地方进口的钢铁征收关税，此举激怒了美国的盟友。||4:特朗普以国家安全为由出面干预，试图阻止与东南亚有关联的芯片制造商博通(Broadcom)以1170亿美元的价格收购高通(Qualcomm)。||5:这本可以成为有史以来最大的科技公司合并。||6:其中一个紧张局势有所降级：美国、加拿大和墨西哥就更新北美自由贸易协定达成了协议。

||1: His eccentricity could be infuriating . But it usually hid a serious purpose. ||2: In sprawling Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim country, cramped under authoritarian rule for most of its existence, Mr Wahid was committed to pluralism, liberalism, democracy and tolerance. ||3: He promoted these principles in his columns in Prisma, Tempo and Kompas. More remarkably, he believed that they were also fundamental to his religion. ||4: “All too many Muslims”, he wrote in the Wall Street Journal in 2005, “fail to grasp Islam.”“Right Islam” was not fanatical. It was tolerant, open and fair.

||1:他古怪的行为可能会让人发怒。但那些则往往隐藏着严肃的目的。||2:在纷繁复杂的印度尼西亚，这个世界上人口最多的穆斯林国家，这个长久以来饱受独裁统治的压迫的国家，瓦希德致力于倡导多元化，自由主义，民主和包容。||3: 他在《Prisma》和《Tempo》杂志以及《 Kompas》报的专栏中宣讲这些原则主张。更令人惊奇的是，他相信这些也是他宗教信仰的基础。 ||4:“太多的穆斯林”，2005年他在《华尔街时报》中写道“没有掌握伊斯兰教的真义。”“真正的伊斯兰教”不是极端狂热的。而是包容的，开放的，和公正的。

||1:Iran is confusing and infuriating to deal with.||2:Power is shared ambiguously between a weak president, who is elected from a field of loyalists and deals with day-to-day problems, and a nebulous revolutionary caste that controls the instruments of coercion.||3:Sometimes Iran has proved pragmatic, for instance acquiescing in America’s overthrow of the Taliban in Afghanistan.||4:Yet, under the supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, ideology often trumps rational policymaking.||5:Neither confrontation nor diplomacy can reliably sway the mullahs.||6:And neither economic carrots nor sanctions seem to work as an alternative.

||1:伊朗令人困惑和愤怒。||2:权力模糊分散在两处，从忠诚支持者中选出的软弱总统处理日常问题，而模糊的革命阶级控制着高压手段。||3:有时伊朗被证明是务实的，如默许美国推翻阿富汗塔利班政权。||4:然而，在最高领袖阿里?哈梅内伊的领导下，意识形态往往胜过理性决策。||5:无论是对峙还是外交都不能有效撼动毛拉。||6:经济诱饵或经济制裁似乎都不是良策。

||It is heartening to read that the British authorities go to great lengths to solve these crimes, but infuriating to learn about the flaws in the system.|| An important witness to the Adam crime, for example, was deported before she could be properly questioned. An eye-opening book that makes a strong case for cultural understanding.

||所以当知道英国当局不遗余力要解决这些犯罪时，是很振奋人心的，但在知道系统中的不足时又难免让人感到愤怒。||例如，亚当一案中的一个重要证人在被正当地审问钱就被驱逐出境。所以这是一本为文化理解提供了有力事实证据的书。
