标题：A Trojan Horse Is Supposed to Have Humans Inside It

Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey is full of contradictions about deceit and violence.

正文：If you go to Christopher Nolan's Odyssey, you may be able to purchase, for a mere $69.99, a plastic receptacle shaped as a Trojan horse. The horse is used in the film as an image of moral decline. But the repurposing of a sinister instrument of war into a popcorn container hints at the malleability of the conceit: A Trojan horse contains unexpected multitudes.

知识点：mere（形容词）/mɪr/
本义：仅仅的、只不过是的；用于强调数量、程度之小，暗含轻蔑或强调反差之意
核心搭配：a mere + 数词/名词、for a mere sum
• He solved the problem in a mere five minutes.
他仅用五分钟就解决了这个问题。
• The startup was valued at a mere fraction of its competitors.
这家初创公司的估值仅是其竞争对手的一小部分。

标题：How China gets better bang for its buck than America in AI

Its investment lags far behind America's. Its models do not

正文：How much money should companies lavish on artificial intelligence?American tech giants think the answer is: a lot. Their capital spending on data centres may surpass $740bn this year. Investors, who used to agree, are having second thoughts. When on July 26th it emerged that Nvidia was in talks to underwrite a gargantuan $500bn-plus data-centre project, stuffed full of its chips and run by OpenAI, its share price tumbled. Days earlier investors blanched when Alphabet said it would boost its AI spending to $205bn this year. AI stocks in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan have plummeted, too.

知识点：lavish v. /ˈlæv.ɪʃ/
to spend or give in large amounts, often excessively 大肆花费；慷慨给予
• The company lavished billions on an ambitious project that ultimately failed. 该公司在一个最终失败的宏大项目上大肆挥霍了数十亿美元。
• Investors worry that tech firms are lavishing too much cash on untested ventures. 投资者担心科技公司在未经考验的业务上砸了太多钱。

标题：Trump’s Literal Gilded Age

Taxpayers are now enabling the president’s decades-long love of gold.

正文：When you approach the freshly gilded twin statues near the Lincoln Memorial, there is no mistaking that they are gold. Very, very gold. Distractingly gold—or, more precisely, covered in 23.75-karat gold leaf costing $5.1 million. The 19-foot statues, called The Arts of War, were once easy to miss but now look a bit like oversized children’s trophies, especially next to the classical and austere Lincoln Memorial. Seeing them is as if, on the walk between Arlington National Cemetery and the National Mall, you’d suddenly stumbled upon a P. F. Chang’s.

知识点：freshly /ˈfreʃli/（副词，修饰过去分词 gilded）
本义：刚刚、新近、崭新地；本文语境核心义：近期刚完成镀金施工、新镀上金箔的
核心搭配：freshly painted、freshly built、freshly gilded
例句1：The twin statues are freshly gilded with expensive gold leaf at huge public cost.
这两座双子雕像耗费巨额公共资金，刚刚被镀上了金箔。
例句2：Tourists are shocked by the overly dazzling look of the freshly gilded sculptures beside the memorial hall.
游客们对纪念堂旁这批新镀金雕塑格外扎眼的外观感到诧异。

标题：Is This What Comes After AI Slop?

Daggermouth could be the first best-selling novel partly written by a chatbot.

正文：Most self-published authors can only dream of writing something as popular as Daggermouth. Set in a surveillance state ruled by a masked elite,the novel traces the unlikely romance between the president’s son and an assassin hired to kill him. Since H. M.

In February, Simon & Schuster paid seven figures to secure the publishing rights to the book and its sequel, which is due out next year.

知识点：self-published/ˌself ˈpʌblɪʃt/（形容词）
本义：自行出版的、自费出书的；本文出版行业语境核心义：作者不依靠传统出版社，自行在网络平台上架发行电子书、自主完成排版发行的出书模式
