1. Port strike
Thousands of striking port workers will return to their jobs today after the International海角社区官网最新地址 Longshoremen’s Association reached a tentative agreement on Thursday with negotiators. The 50,000 members of the union working at ports from Maine to海角社区官网最新地址 Texas had been on strike since Tuesday over wages and concerns that increased automation at the ports could cost union jobs. President Joe Biden prai海角社区官网最新地址sed the tentative wage deal. “I congratulate the dockworkers from the ILA, who deserve a strong contract after sacrificing so much to keep our ports o海角社区官网最新地址pen during the pandemic,” he said. For the Biden administration, the motivation to limit the economic fallout was amplified by the fact that a lengthy海角社区官网最新地址 strike could have caused shortages of some US imports and further soured Americans’ views of the economy in the last weeks before the election.

港口罢工
在国际码头工人协会（International Lo海角社区官网最新地址ngshoremen’s Association）周四与谈判代表达成临时协议后，数千名罢工的港口工人将于今日返回工作岗位。自周二以来，从缅因州到得克萨斯州港口工作的该工会 5 万名成员一直在为工资以及担心港口自动化程度提高可能导致工会工作岗位减少而罢工。美国总统乔・拜登（Joe Biden）对临时工海角社区官网最新地址资协议表示赞扬。他说：“我祝贺国际码头工人协会（ILA）的码头工人，在疫情期间他们为保持港口开放做出了巨大牺牲，理应得到一份优厚的合同。” 对于拜登政府来说，由于长时间的罢工可能会导致美国部分进口商品短缺，并在选举前的最后几周进一步恶化美国人对经济的看法，所以限制经济影响的动机得到了加强。
2. Pr海角社区官网最新地址esidential race
Republican former Rep. Liz Cheney campaigned with Vice President Kamala Harris in the battleground state of Wisconsin on Thursday. Chen海角社区官网最新地址ey pointed to former President Donald Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021, and said that anyone “who would do these things can never be trusted with po海角社区官网最新地址wer again.” Her attempt to persuade swing voters comes as the latest CNN average of polls in the state finds Harris deadlocked with Trump, and the lat海角社区官网最新地址est CNN Poll of Polls shows the presidential race remains tight nationally. Meanwhile, Trump campaigned in the key state of Michigan on Thursday and c海角社区官网最新地址riticized the Biden-Harris administration’s response to Hurricane Helene. He falsely claimed Harris “stole” money from FEMA and used it on housing and海角社区官网最新地址 gift cards for undocumented immigrants.
deadlock/ˈdɛdˌlɒk/|CET6+ TEM8
N-VAR If a dispute or series of negotiations reaches deadlock, neither side is wi海角社区官网最新地址lling to give in at all and no agreement can be made. 僵局
• They called for a compromise on all sides to break the deadlock in the world trade talks.

总统竞选
共和党前众议员利兹・切尼（Liz Cheney）周四在关键州威斯康星州与副总统卡玛拉・哈里斯（Kamala Harris）一起开展竞选活动。切尼提到了前总统唐纳德・特朗普（Donald Trump）在 2021 年 1 月 6 日的行为，并表示任何 “海角社区官网最新地址做出这些事情的人都绝不能再被赋予权力”。她试图说服摇摆选民之际，美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）对该州的最新平均民意调查显示哈里斯与特朗普处于僵局，而美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）的综合民意调查显示，全国范围内的总统竞选仍然势均力敌。与此同时，特朗普周四在关键州密歇根州开展竞选活动，并批评拜登 – 哈里斯海角社区官网最新地址政府对飓风海琳（Helene）的应对措施。他谎称哈里斯从联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）“窃取” 资金，用于为非法移民提供住房和礼品卡。

海琳（Helene）的后续影响
自飓风海琳（Helene）一周多前袭击美国东南部以来，至少已有 213 人死亡。随着官员称数百人下落不明，而且救援人员受到持续的手机信号问题和道路被冲毁的阻碍，寻找失踪亲人的行动每天都变得更加急切。人们报告说要徒步数小时去查看被困的亲人，还要在湿透的河岸上痛苦海角社区官网最新地址地搜寻那些被洪水卷走房屋的亲人。北卡罗来纳州阿什维尔（Asheville）所在的本康比县（Buncombe County）的治安官表示，截至周四，有 200 多人下落不明，到目前为止已发现 72 人死亡。海琳（Helene）已成为自 2005 年卡特里娜飓风（Hurricane Katrina）以来海角社区官网最新地址袭击美国本土最致命的飓风，官员们担心死亡人数将继续攀升。

The Israeli military vowed to continue striking Hezbollah targets in Beirut and southern Lebanon after launc海角社区官网最新地址hing fresh airstrikes in the Lebanese capital overnight. Amid escalating tensions, the Middle East is bracing for Israel’s response to Iran’s ballisti海角社区官网最新地址c missile attack earlier this week. Analysts say the growing escalations on multiple fronts have put the region on the precipice as the first annivers海角社区官网最新地址ary of Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel draws nearer. Israeli officials also issued evacuation orders for more villages in southern Lebanon, signalin海角社区官网最新地址g a broadening of its ground incursion. Roughly 1 million people have been displaced since Israel escalated its war with Hezbollah.

（pre-,在前，-cip,头，词源同cap,captain.即头在前，一头栽下，引申词义陡坡，陡崖，悬崖等。
前缀pre-表“前”，词根cip-表“头”；它本来指的是头下脚上的倒栽动作，这时相对于坠落的方向，头是在前面的。我一开始以为是说断崖的形状，像向前伸出的海角社区官网最新地址头一样呢，私心想着，那样就和同根词cape（海角）的逻辑类似了，海角就像头一样延伸进海中。

中东局势
以色列军方在夜间对黎巴嫩首都发动新的空袭后，誓言要继续打击贝鲁特和黎巴嫩南部的真主党（Hezbollah）目标。在紧张局势不断升级的情况下，随着哈马斯 10 月 7 日对以色列发动袭击海角社区官网最新地址一周年纪念日临近，中东地区正在为以色列对伊朗本周早些时候的弹道导弹袭击做出反应做准备。分析人士称，随着多个方面的局势不断升级，该地区已处于危险边缘。以色列官员还对黎巴嫩南部更多村庄发布了疏散命令，这表明其地面入侵范围正在扩大。自以色列与真主党（Hezbollah）的战争升级以来，大约有 100 万人海角社区官网最新地址流离失所。
5. Bird flu

The two worked on different dairy farms in California’s Central Valley and both farms had cattle known to be positive for H5N1海角社区官网最新地址 avian influenza. Health officials say the risk to the general public remains low. Still, they are watching this virus closely because each time it in海角社区官网最新地址fects a new human host, it can change in ways that may allow it to better adapt to people. If that occurs, there are fears it could spark a wider outb海角社区官网最新地址reak. With these additions, there have been 16 cases of avian flu in humans in the US since March; most of them have been connected to ongoing poultry海角社区官网最新地址 and dairy cattle outbreaks.
