Trump Administration Turns Up Pressure on China on Several Fronts
川普政府在幾個方面對中國施加更大的壓力。
WASHINGTON—The Trump administration is intensifying U.S. pressure on China, piling on visa bans, sanctions and other restrictions that are battering already unsettled ties between the world’s two largest economies.
📌 文章第一段就以這個主題為切入點，施壓的領域包括簽證禁令、制裁和其他限制。
🖋 intensify pressure on 的意思就是 turn up pressure on。pile on (堆積)，在修辭學裡有「轉化」的作用(將虛擬實)。ban (禁令)、sanction (制裁) 和 restriction (限制)常於國際新聞出現的詞語。
Attorney General William Barr, in a speech Thursday, warned U.S. businesses that they are at risk of collaborating with a Chinese government that ultimately seeks to supplant them in its expanding state-run economy. Administration officials are also discussing banning travel by China’s Communist Party members and their families to the U.S., people familiar with the matter said.
📌 文章第二段引述美國司法部長在一篇演說中對企業家的警告：中國政府最終或許取締他們！這段也提到美國官員考慮禁止中國共產黨員和家屬去美國。
🖋 Attorney General (司法部長)是美國高級官員，他想美國企業發出嚴厲的警告，用at risk of + noun phrase 來表達。administration official 是常用的片語，指政府官員。
Discussions are in early stages, with no timeline for being put into effect, the people said. If put into policy, advisers and policy analysts said the ban would strike at the legitimacy of the increasingly powerful party.
📌文章第三段補充說，有關考慮處於初步階段，如果被實施回打擊共產黨的合法性。
🖋 timeline (時間表)是常用用語，其他常見的用語包括 policy、adviser、policy analyst。legitimacy (合法性)是個高階字，在有關政治的文章常常出現。
The administration has amped up a broader confrontation with Beijing in recent weeks by imposing sanctions on a member of the Communist Party leadership, signing legislation that targets other Chinese officials and holding full-scale military exercises in the South China Sea.
📌文章第四段講述美國在最近幾個星期跟中國的對抗：制裁一位共產黨高層人員、簽署針對其他中國官員的法例和在南中國海舉行軍事演習。
🖋amp up (放大) 是個轉化的修辭片語，impose(施加)跟sanction搭配的，legislation是law的同義詞，target在這裡是及物動詞，千萬別加at。
All this has come after President Trump for months has blamed China for covering up the initial corona virus outbreak that his administration has struggled to contain in the U.S.
📌文章第五段為這一切提供背景：川普幾個月來責怪中國隱瞞疫情。
🖋 blame 是基本的動詞，要記住它的用法，cover up (掩飾) 很常用，另外，contain在這裡的意思不是包括，而是遏制。
