么么哒，亲爱的们，咱们周一又见啦。今天给大家推荐的书是《Fire and Fury》。不少朋友们第一反应肯定是速度与激情，No No No， 小编这本书的全称是《Fire and Fury – Inside the Trump White House》，哈哈哈，明白了吧，就是最近火的一塌糊涂，让President Trump火冒三丈的新书《火与怒-川普白宫内幕》。当然了，小编不对这本书的内容做任何评价，因为小编也说不好这本书写的到底是真实的还是虚假的，但总有真实的部分吧。
最重要的一个指控是，班农称在2016年美国总统竞选活动中，川普的儿子小川普等人与俄方人士的会面是“叛国的”和“不爱国的”。
当然啦，排除这些乱七八糟没有证据的指控外，小编认为这本书的文笔还是不错的，符合咱们一起学习的要求。下面咱们一起看下书中精彩的部分。
I. 描写Kellyanne Conway- Donald Trump's campaign manager
She’d carefully courted many of them since joining the Trump campaign in
mid-August and becoming the campaign’s reliably combative voice and,
with her spasmodic smiles and strange combination of woundedness and
imperturbability, peculiarly telegenic face
1. Spasmodic
ADJ Something that is spasmodic happens suddenly, for short periods of time, and at irregular intervals. 间歇的
例：
He managed to stifle the spasmodic sobs of panic rising in his throat.
他竭力地抑制了自己，没从喉咙中发出惊恐的哭声。
2. Imperturbability 沉着、冷静
adj. Imperturbable
remaining calm and unworried in spite of problems or difficulties 从容镇定的、沉着的、冷静的
3. Telegenic
ADJ Someone who is telegenic behaves confidently and looks attractive when they are on television. 适于上电视的
例：
The bright and telegenic Ms. Aragon is paid $90,000 a year.
聪明且镜头感十足的阿拉贡小姐拿9万英镑的年薪。
2. 描写特朗普媳妇梅兰妮·特朗普得知特朗普的录音
The
silver lining of the ignominy Melania Trump had to endure after the
Billy Bush tape was that now there was no way her husband could become
president.
Ignominy
N-UNCOUNT Ignominy is shame or public disgrace. 耻辱; 公开羞辱 [正式]
3. 描写梅兰妮裸照公开，特朗普的反应
Trump responded in his fashion—We’ll sue!—and set her up with lawyers who
successfully did just that. But he was unaccustomedly contrite, too.
Just a little longer, he told her.
Contrite
ADJ If you are contrite, you are very sorry because you have done something wrong. 悔恨的 [正式]
4.特朗普竞选无意模仿Mel Brooks 《The Producers》
The Trump campaign had, perhaps less than inadvertently, replicated the scheme from Mel Brooks’s, The Producers. In that classic, Brooks’s larcenous and dopey heroes, Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, set out to sell more than 100 percent of the ownership stakes in the Broadway show they are producing. Since they will be found out only if the show is a hit, everything about the show is premised on its being a flop. Accordingly, they create a show so outlandish that it actually succeeds, thus dooming our heroes.
Larcenous
larceny 盗窃；盗窃罪
larcener [法] 盗窃犯
larcenist [法] 盗窃犯；盗贼
5. 描写特朗普可能成为总统的样子
There was, in the space of little more than an hour, in Steve Bannon’s not
unamused observation, a befuddled Trump morphing into a disbelieving
Trump and then into a quite horrified Trump.
Befuddled
V-T If something befuddles you, it confuses your mind or thoughts. 使迷惑
例：problems that are befuddling them.
使他们困惑的问题。
befuddled
例：
...his befuddled manner.
...他那令人费解的举动。
6. 特朗普评价他的女婿
Trump had come to believe that his son-in-law, in part because he seemed to
understand how to stay out of his way, was uniquely sagacious
Sagacious
ADJ A sagacious person is intelligent and has the ability to make good decisions. 睿智的 [正式]
例：
a sagacious leader.
一位睿智的领袖。
7. 描写特朗普和女婿的相处
Jared Kushner, like sons-in-law everywhere, tiptoes around his father-in-law, carefully displacing as little air as possible: the massive and domineering older man, the reedy and pliant younger one.
Reedy
ADJ If you say that someone has a reedy voice, you think their voice is unpleasant because it is high and unclear. (声音)高而难听的
Pliant
A pliant person can be easily influenced and controlled by other people. 易受影响的; 顺从的
例：
She's proud and stubborn, you know, under that pliant exterior.
她既傲气又固执，你知道的，在那温顺的外表下。
