标题：Saudi Arabia Has Few Options as Houthis Aim at Heart of Its Ambitions

Three deadly attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen on an airport in the Saudi capital underscored the asymmetrical nature of their conflict with the kingdom.

正文： After the deadliest attack in Saudi Arabia in more than a decade, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman faces growing pressure to find a way to stop the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen from firing missiles and drones at his country. Yet the prince, Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, has few options as he confronts an asymmetrical conflict with an adversary that has become stronger since he led a disastrous war against it a decade ago, analysts say.

知识点：【deadliest】 /ˈdedliest/ adj.（最高级）
英文释义：Deadliest is the superlative of deadly, meaning causing the most deaths.
本义/ 本文特指：deadly 最高级。in more than a decade（十多年来）与它搭配，构成强烈的“刷新纪录”效果。
补充：（本文特指：作者用“十多年来最致命”给事件定级，这是新闻里常见的“恐惧放大器”——把一次袭击放进时间坐标，暗示严重性。）
核心搭配：the deadliest attack、the deadliest day、one of the deadliest、the deadliest on record
·It was the deadliest earthquake in the region's history.这是该地区历史上最致命的一次地震。
·This is the deadliest year for journalists on record.这是有记录以来记者遇害最多的一年。

标题：Superstar podcasts are Silicon Valley's way of talking to itself

But to much of the world, the sound is jarring

正文：EACH WEEKDAY morning Jordi Hays and John Coogan, two entrepreneurs-turned podcasters, enter a sauna in Los Angeles with copies of the Wall Street Journal. They come out with jackets, ties and hot takes on the tech news of the day. Then they go on air as hosts of the “Technology Business Programming Network” (“TBPN”)podcast, riffing with guests, banging gongs and blowing airhorns. Silicon Valley laps it up. It is not uncommon to see “TBPN”, rather than CNBC, streaming on the TV screens in tech firms’ offices.

· 英⽂释义：a room or building heated to a high temperature, used for relaxation or health purposes
· 中⽂释义：桑拿房，蒸汽浴
· ⽂中意：两位主播每个⼯作⽇早晨带着报纸⾛进洛杉矶的⼀间桑拿房（营造出⼀种既私密⼜精英的⽣活⽅式场景）

· 例句⼆：Finnish sauna culture is an integral part of daily life in Finland. 芬兰桑拿⽂化是芬兰⽇常⽣活中不可或缺的⼀部分。

标题：What Experts Want to Know About the Russia Plague Scare

Missing details about the death of a lab worker, including the cause, are worrying scientists.

正文：A 28-year-old worker at a research laboratory in Siberia recently died of pneumonia. The facility studies plague, among other pathogens,raising fears that she had been exposed at the laboratory.But Russian health officials so far have not linked the death of the worker,Darya Shipilova, to infection with Yersinia pestis, the bacterium that causes plague. And despite early reports that dozens had been quarantined near the research facility, health officials said that there was no risk of an epidemic.

知识点：【die of】 /daɪ əv/ 短语
英文释义：To die of something means to die because of it. It is used mainly when the cause is a disease, illness, or a condition inside the body (e.g. die of cancer, die of pneumonia, die of hunger).
"Die from" is also correct and is more often used when the cause is an external event such as an injury, accident, or wound.
英文释义：to die of sth = 因（某种疾病、病症、饥饿、寒冷等）而死。die of 与 die from 意思几乎相同，区别主要在语义倾向——若病因来自身体内部（疾病、饥饿、衰老、失血等），用of 更地道；若来自外部事件（事故、枪伤、坠楼、中毒等），用from 更常见。
（本文特指：首句a 28-year-old worker ... recently died of pneumonia —— 作者用 of 而不是 from，恰恰在强调"死因是某种疾病"，为后文"到底是普通肺炎还是鼠疫"的悬念铺路。一个介词，就把"身体内部病变"这层意思钉住了）
核心搭配：die of cancer/a heart attack/pneumonia/hunger/thirst（of +疾病/身体状态）、die from injuries/wounds/a crash（from + 外部事件）、to die of a broken heart（心碎而死——文学化表达）、would rather die than...（宁死也不……）、die of boredom/embarrassment（无聊死了/尴尬死了——口语夸张用法）
· Her father died of cancer three years ago.她父亲三年前死于癌症。
· In fairy tales, people often die of a broken heart.童话里，人们常常因为心碎而死。

标题：Inside the Nobel Prize in literature

正文：Alfred Nobel was a keen but mediocre writer. The Swedish dynamite tycoon wrote unpublished poems and a play featuring a 40-minute torture scene. To the dismay of relatives keen to inherit his fortune, his handwritten will of 1895 endowed five awards, including a prize for literature. Nobel instructed “the Academy in Stockholm” to give it to the writer of “the most outstanding work in an ideal [idealisk] direction”. The Swedish Academy spent decades puzzling over what “ideal” meant, before quietly dropping the criterion.

知识点：keen adj. /kiːn/
· 英⽂释义：very interested in and enthusiastic about something; eager to do something
· 中⽂释义：热衷的，热切的；敏锐的
· ⽂中意：热衷的——⽂中说诺⻉尔"a keen but mediocre writer"，即他对写作抱有热情，但才华平平。keen在此强调"热情有余"，与mediocre的"才具不⾜"形成对照，暗含惋惜与讽刺。
· 例句⼀：She was a keen amateur photographer who spent every weekend chasing the perfect light. 她是⼀位热衷摄影的业余爱好者，每个周末都在追逐完美的光线。
· 例句⼆：He remained a keen student of history long after he retired from teaching. 他从教职退休很久之后，仍是⼀位热切的历史学习者。
