标题：Mark Zuckerberg’s Convenient Truth

The Meta CEO has a new message now that his company is losing the AI race.

正文：At this stage in the AI race, if one of your chatbots hasn’t escaped the lab and run amok, people start to wonder whether you’re even serious. Last month, OpenAI and then Anthropic disclosed that their models had hacked other companies’ systems during internal testing. When Meta confirmed last week that one of its bots had also gone rogue, the news barely registered as an aftershock.

知识点：stage /steɪdʒ/ n. 英文释义：stage (n.) means a particular point or period in a process of development or a series of events 本义为"舞台"，进程与阶段划分语境核心义为"某一发展阶段、某个时期"（本文特指：文章开篇At this stage in the AI race
指AI 竞赛已进入模型"越狱"事故频发、且被视为常态的这一特定阶段）核心搭配：at this stage、at an early stage、a critical stage、stage by stage、reach a new stage
・At this stage in the funding cycle, most investors care more about margins than about growth. 在融资周期的这个阶段，多数投资人更关心利润率而不是增长。

标题：Hotel prices in Europe surge before historic solar eclipse

正文：The UK and Europe have enjoyed their most dramatic solar eclipse for nearly 30 years, with millions thought to have witnessed the once-in-a-generation event.

But parts of Greenland, Iceland and Spain experienced the complete darkness and spectacle of a total eclipse.

标题：A Little Bit of Shopping, All the Time

Why it’s so exhausting to buy stuff now

正文：For several months, I had been on the hunt for new T-shirts. I vaguely had a vision of what they should look like: not so different from my current T-shirts, except in some way elevated and, more urgent, free of stains or holes. Perhaps they could come in interesting colors? Ideally, they would not be made in sweatshops. There were many, many shirts that seemed to meet these criteria—and with a few clicks, they could be delivered to my doorstep, maybe even by tomorrow. And still, I had purchased none of them.

知识点：be on the hunt for /bi ɒn ðə hʌnt fɔː/ 固定短语
英文释义：be on the hunt for something means to be actively and persistently
searching for something over a period of time 本义为"在狩猎、在追捕"，日常寻物与求职语境核心义为"持续地、费力地四处物色某样东西，暗含'找了很久还没找到'"（本文特指：作者用它形容自己找T恤的状态——把买一件最普通的衣服，说成一场持续数月、目标不明的狩猎，这个词本身就是全文疲惫感的第一个信号）核心搭配：on the hunt for a job、on the hunt for a new apartment、house-hunting、job hunting、bargain-hunting
・Venture funds are on the hunt for AI startups with real revenue rather than
impressive demos. 风投基金正在四处寻找有真实营收的AI创业公司，而不是只会做漂亮演示的。
・After the layoffs, half the department was suddenly on the hunt for work in a shrinking market. 裁员之后，半个部门突然要在一个不断萎缩的市场里找工作。

标题：Chinas biggest travel site grapples with watchdog's reservations

正文：Just as Chinese travellers were checking into hotels and boarding planes for summer holidays booked through Trip.com, the country’s biggest online travel agent received some painful news. The State Administration for Market Regulation imposed Rmb5.18bn ($770mn) in penalties on the US- and HK listed company, saying a six-month antitrust investigation had found it abused its market dominance. The SAMR punishment was less severe than many investors had expected, but it laid bare the extent of the grip on China’s vast travel industry of a company that handled more than Rmb1tn worth of online bookings globally in 2025.

知识点：impose a penalty on
· 英文释义：to officially order that someone pay an amount of money as a punishment
· 中文释义：对……处以罚款/处罚
· 文中意：指国家市场监管总局对携程开出巨额罚单（impose有“强制施加”之意，penalty指法律或规则层面的惩罚，整体语气正式而强硬，常用于监管和法律语境）
· 例句一：The court imposed a record penalty on the pharmaceutical company for illegally inflating drug prices.
法院以非法哄抬药价为由，对那家制药公司处以创纪录的罚款。
· 例句二：The aviation authority imposed severe penalties on airlines that knowingly overbooked flights to maximise profits.
航空管理部门对那些明知故犯、为追求最大利润而超售机票的航空公司施以重罚。

标题：How China became the world's great oil power

Forget OPEC. The Chinese now calls the shots

正文：THE IRAN war has caused the largest supply shock in petroleum history.Yet even when fighting was most intense, oil prices never reached the $150 a barrel many analysts had predicted. Soon after Iranian munitions made the Strait of Hormuz unpassable, trapping 14m barrels a day (b/d) of crude inside the Gulf, petro-monarchs in Abu Dhabi and Riyadh directed an extra 5m b/d through pipes bypassing the conduit. Ministers in Washington and Tokyo released a record 2m b/d of emergency stocks.

知识点：munition n. /mjuːˈnɪʃn/
· 英文释义：military weapons, ammunition, and equipment used in warfare
