Trump and Macron hint at new Iran nuclear deal
新闻正文及知识要点：
US President Donald Trump and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron have suggested there could be a new agreement on Iran's nuclear programme.
counterpart n.相当的人，对应的事物
在写作中可以当做一个很好的替换词，比如在这个句子中，counterpart就替换掉了前面用过的president，丰富词汇多样性
programme n.
这个词是一个英式词汇，在美式英语中没有programme，但是却有program，在托福写作当中，记忆program即可，表示项目、计划、程序、节目等
After talks in the US,Mr Trump,who is sceptical of an accord that was struck in 2015,spoke about"doing a much bigger,maybe,deal".
be skeptical(sceptical)of/about对...持怀疑态度
文中出现的sceptical也是一个英式词汇，在美式英语中写作skeptical
accord n./v.
新闻中用的是名词词性，两个意思：1.harmony一致2.agreement协议
在写作中可以去替换reach an agreement/consensus/accord on用来表示在…上达成一致
strike(struck)vt./vi.
struck是strike的过去式以及过去分词形式，基本的意思就是击打、碰撞，文中strike的意思是达成(achieve)，就可以作为achieve表示达成意思的替换词了
strike an accord达成协议
strike a deal成交
strike a balance between…and…在...和...中找到平衡
E.g.strike a balance between order and freedom
语法点
spoke同was struck并列，但是这里并没有用并列连词and来连接，算是一个并列结构的活用，对accord的修饰进行补充
Mr Macron said a new pact must cover Iran's ballistic missile programme and its role in the Middle East.
pact n.协定
同前面的accord一个意思，可以作为替换词，pact/accord/agreement/protocol都可以表示协议的意思
ballistic missile program(programme)弹道导弹项目
这个短语作为对军事常识的了解吧，写作中如果写到武器方面也可以使用
Iran warned of"severe consequences"if the US withdraws from the deal.
withdraw vt./vi.
取回的意思，取书取取钥匙(withdraw book/key)都能用，
还能表示取钱withdraw money from one’s account(从账户取钱)
还可以表示撤回(recall)，收回(rescind)
文中是不及物动词，表示离开(leave)，退出(cease to participate)
E.g.withdraw to somewhere离开到某处去，同leave，可以当做替换词
withdraw from somewhere离开某处
withdraw from the competition/debate退出比赛/争论
。。美国佬要毁约，那肯定是不行的，Iran警告说会有严重后果！！感觉不太像咱们的强烈谴责，有种破罐破摔花式作的意思
In 2015,Iran agreed to mothball its nuclear programme in return for an easing of economic sanctions on Iran.
mothball n./vt.
n.樟脑丸...生活常识！
vt.将…封存(stop using)/推迟(postpone)
mothball当做推迟来用，在托福写作中算是很牛b的替换了
easing
看起来很简单，这里当做名词来用，也是语法多样性的体现
economic sanction经济制裁
新闻里经常听到的说法，积累一下
The US president has been threatening to reject an extension of the Obama-era nuclear pact reached between Tehran and world powers by a 12 May deadline.
The US president
作为文中对川普的替换
Obama-era adj.
奥巴马时期，作为积累，看看怎么写
Mr Macron had been lobbying Mr Trump to stick with the deal,saying there was no better option.
lobby n./vt./vi.
名词表示门厅、大堂，还能表示游说活动
动词就表示游说的意思了，文中是马卡龙游说川普
stick with紧跟/继续使用/继续做
美国大片中听得挺多的一个搭配STICK WITH ME!!!紧跟我！！！就这意思
这里表示继续坚持原来的协议
Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel is due to visit the US on Friday to make a last-minute bid to dissuade Mr Trump from potentially torpedoing the agreement.
be due to do something预定做某事，计划做某事
同plan to do/be going to do差不多的意思
a last-minute bid最后的争取
dissuade somebody from doing something劝某人放弃某事
就是persuade的反义词了
potentially adv.潜在地
在这里就表示有可能的意思，所以可以在作文中当做probably来用
torpedo n./vt.
很好的一个词了，名词表示鱼雷
动词表示用鱼雷击中，引申一下，表示彻底破坏的意思，替换destroy,break，成为非常好的表达
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif was quoted as saying that Tehran would"most likely"abandon the accord if the US pulled out.
quote引用
pull out退出
