[片头音乐]Hello,Hello,欢迎来到通勤学英语 Fifteen Minutes Dot Today。我是 John 老师。说英语这件事跟学游泳是一样的,不是想通了就会,是你的嘴巴习惯了才会。今天这期节目我们要用最真实的国际时事来练习。先听一次,让耳朵感受语调和节奏,再开口一起朗读,让嘴巴开始动。最后跟着我的录音档一句一句地模仿,输入再输出,重复到自然为止。每天只要十五分钟,你练的不只是英文,是让开口这件事变得越来越不费力。Are you ready?那我们就来开始今天的国际时事跟读 shadowing activity。Let's start with the highlights。First highlight,Trump hosted Xi at a lavish White House state dinner, but the summit produced few concrete breakthroughs。Second highlight,deep divisions over trade, technology and Taiwan limited the outcomes to a tariff cut and planned AI talks。Third highlight,Taiwan appeared in neither official readout, while a fourteen billion dollar US arms package for the island remains on hold。Looking at the highlights, let's cover the gist of the story。Think about two neighbors who have argued for years about noise, parking, and a shared fence。One day, one of them invites the other to a big fancy dinner。There are nice plates, kind words, and friendly toasts。Everyone smiles for the photos。But when the dessert is gone, the fence is still broken and the parking problem is still there。They agree on a few small things and promise to talk again soon。The dinner was warm, but the hard questions are still waiting。This story is about a meeting like that between two powerful countries。Next up, let's read this article in full。Trump-Xi summit heavy on pomp, light on deals。Washington rolled out the red carpet last week as President Donald Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping for his first state visit to the US in more than a decade。Trump greeted Xi at the airport, a rare gesture, and later held a lavish state dinner attended by tech chiefs including Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Apple's Tim Cook。There, Trump toasted a future of harmony, peace and success, while Xi insisted that artificial intelligence must remain under human control。Beneath the diplomatic niceties, however, old fault lines remained。Beijing wants Washington to stay out of its way on trade, technology, and Taiwan, whereas Trump arrived hoping for deals on tariffs, rare earths, and farm exports。Chinese state media reported that Xi had privately urged the US to handle Taiwan with prudence。Tellingly, the two governments issued separate readouts rather than a joint statement, which Peter Alexander of Zben Advisors said showed both sides were locked in a battle over escalation dominance。The deliverables that did emerge were modest。The two countries agreed to cut tariffs on thirty billion dollars worth of each other's goods, and the US readout said China would buy at least ten million metric tons of American coal a year in 2027 and 2028。They also plan to launch an AI dialogue within two months, although the US called the technology super intelligence, while China stuck with AI。The trade truce, meanwhile, was extended by just two months, far shorter than expected。Scott Kennedy of CSIS described the deliverables as quite limited and tentative。Taiwan appeared in neither official readout, which Kennedy took as a sign of no progress。A fourteen billion dollar arms package for the island has been on hold since May, when Xi warned the two countries could collide or even enter into conflict。Trump called it a very good negotiating chip。The leaders will meet twice more this year at APEC in Shenzhen in November and the G20 in Miami in December。Whether this fragile détente lasts, analysts warn, depends on more tangible outcomes。Lastly, let's move on to the keyword drills。First keyword, roll out the red carpet。Roll out the red carpet means to give someone a special grand welcome。Example sentence: The hotel rolled out the red carpet for our clients。Second keyword, diplomatic niceties。Diplomatic niceties means polite formalities used to keep relations smooth。Example sentence: Let's skip the diplomatic niceties and talk numbers。Third keyword, deliverables。Deliverables means concrete results that a project or meeting must produce。Example sentence: Please send me the project deliverables by Friday。Fourth keyword, stick with。Stick with means to keep using something without changing it。Example sentence: Let's stick with the original plan for now。Fifth keyword, negotiating chip。Negotiating chip means something used as leverage to gain an advantage in talks。Example sentence: Our lower price became a useful negotiating chip。And that's the article for today。Good job!恭喜你完成了今天的国际时事跟读单元。我想问家属们,当我们念完了以后,你有没有一种感觉好像懂了,可是又不确定自己真的有没有吸收的那种感觉吗?这样子的感觉非常正常,因为呢,光靠听的只能练到我们的耳朵,那一定要搭配我们的逐字稿来看清楚句子的架构和情境,使用我们的学习摘要把重点留下来。更重要的是要有更新的内容来让你维持这个好习惯。如果你想要透过大量的内容来保持你每周的学习好习惯的通勤家属们,我们 VIP 方案的内容都有提供给认真想把英语说出来,不想再只是听懂点头的通勤家属们。如果你也想把英语自然地说出口,我们单集简介里面有订阅连结,欢迎加入我们的通勤 VIP,跟着我们一起成长。Thanks for tuning in!我们下期见。Catch you in the next episode。[片尾音乐]
