Ukraine enters uncharted new era after comedian wins presidency
喜剧演员当选总统，乌克兰进入未知新时代
Uncharted: that has not been visited or investigated before; not familiar 人迹罕至的；无人涉足的；陌生的
They set off into the country's uncharted interior. 他们出发前往这个国家人迹罕至的内陆。
该词的搭配大家可以看看：
uncharted new era 未知的新时代
uncharted territory 未涉足过的领域
uncharted political waters 崭新的政治局面
此时waters是自带s的：waters [ pl. ] murky, uncharted, stormy, dangerous, etc. ~ used to describe a situation, usually one that is difficult, dangerous or not familiar 不明朗（或未知的、困难、危险等）局面
The conversation got into the murky waters of jealousy and relationships.交谈进入到爱妒交织的复杂话题。
Ukraine entered uncharted political waters on Monday after near final results showed a comedian with no political experience and few detailed policies had dramatically upended the status quo and won the country's presidential election by a landslide.
周一，乌克兰迈入了崭新的政治局面。投票接近尾声时，结果显示，一名毫无从政经验、几乎没制定过具体政策的喜剧演员戏剧性地颠覆了现状，以压倒性优势赢得了该国的总统大选。
upend the status quo颠覆现状
status quo来自于拉丁语，最近还挺高频的：[ sing. ] ( from Latin ) the situation as it is now, or as it was before a recent change 现状；原来的状况
to defend/restore the status quo 维持现状；恢复原来的状况
upend 从构词上可以猜到它的意思“颠倒”，比如：
The bicycle lay upended in a ditch. 自行车翻倒在一条小水沟里。
Bitcoin might yet justify a high price. But it will not up-end global finance比特币或许仍有理由涨价。但它不会颠覆全球金融
此处则是引申用法
往期外刊群（知新共学外刊群（3月15日开始））我们遇到过一些近义表达：
turn sth on its head: to cause something to be the opposite of what it was before 颠覆某事，比如：
These new findings turn the accepted theories on their head.这些新发现颠覆了大家广泛接受的理论。
Ms Collingham turns that idea neatly on its head. 科林厄姆彻底颠覆了这种观点。
（往期外刊群原文）
Overturn: [i][t] if sth overturns , or if sb overturns it, it turns upside down or on its side倾倒；倾覆；翻掉，比如：
The company's new president decided to overturn a decision by his predecessor that was unpopular with employees.公司新总裁决心推翻前任制定的不受员工欢迎的决定。
Win the country's presidential election by a landslide 以压倒性优势赢得了该国的总统大选
从这个表达中我们可以提取出：win ....by landslide，表示“以压倒性优势赢得了...”
Landslide: an election in which one person or party gets very many more votes than the other people or parties 一方选票占压倒多数的选举；一方占绝对优势的选举
She was expected to win by a landslide . 预计她会以压倒多数的选票获胜。
a landslide victory 压倒性优势的选举胜利
下一段的emphatic /ɪmˈfætɪk/ 是它的替代词：an emphatic victory, win, or defeat is one in which one team or player wins by a large amount 明显的；突出的；显著的
Yesterday's emphatic victory was their fifth in succession.昨天的大比分胜利是他们第5次的接连胜利。
还可以用overwhelming:ADJ You can use overwhelming to emphasize that an amount or quantity is much greater than other amounts or quantities. (数量上) 压倒性的
The overwhelming majority of small businesses go broke within the first twenty-four months.绝大多数的小公司在最初的24个月里破产。
The emphatic victory of Volodymyr Zelenskiy, 41, is a bitter blow for incumbent Petro Poroshenko who tried to rally Ukrainians around the flag by casting himself as a bulwark against Russia and a champion of Ukrainian identity.
41 岁的弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基的大获全胜对现任总统彼得·波罗申科而言是一个沉重的打击。波罗申科曾把自己塑造成对抗俄罗斯的卫士和乌克兰公民身份的捍卫者，并试图以此将乌克兰人民团结在一起。
这一句的知识点还蛮多的，我们还是先看下结构好了：
The emphatic victory of Volodymyr Zelenskiy（主语）, 41（插入语）, is（系动词） a bitter blow （表语）for incumbent Petro Poroshenko who（定从，先行词Petro Poroshenko ） tried（定从谓语） to rally Ukrainians around the flag （定从宾语）by casting himself as a bulwark against Russia and a champion of Ukrainian identity（方式状语）.
主干是：
The emphatic victory of Volodymyr Zelenskiy is a bitter blow.
方式状语的部分注意一下，有2个并列成分：
By casting himself as a bulwark and a champion.
再看下表达：
a bitter blow: 沉重的打击
Bitter:[ usually before noun ] making you feel very unhappy; caused by great unhappiness 令人不快的；使人悲痛的；由痛苦引起的
Losing the match was a bitter disappointment for the team.输掉这场比赛对这个队来说是一件伤心失望的事。
Incumbent /ɪnˈkʌmbənt/: N-COUNT An incumbent is someone who holds an official post at a particular time. 在职者，比如：
In general, incumbents have a 94 percent chance of being re-elected.一般情况下，现任官员有94%的几率会再次当选。
近义词established: ADJ If you use established to describe something such as an organization, you mean that it is well known because it has existed for a long time. 老牌的，比如：
These range from established companies to start-ups.这些包括老牌公司和新兴公司。
rally Ukrainians around the flag将乌克兰人民团结在国旗下
Rally ...around the flag 将...团结在旗帜下
——这个表达还是很好用，也挺高频的

Bulwark /ˈbʊlwək/了解一下:~ (against sth) ( formal ) a person or thing that protects or defends sth 保护者，防御者（指人或事物）
a bulwark against extremism 坚决反对极端主义者
champion of Ukrainian identity乌克兰公民身份的捍卫者
Champion此处不是“冠军”:~ (of sth) a person who fights for, or speaks in support of, a group of people or a belief 斗争者；捍卫者；声援者；拥护者
She was a champion of the poor all her life. 她终身都是穷苦人的卫士。
看下有哪些近义表达呢：

a meeting of Republican boosters 共和党支持者的会议
近义表达partisan: a person who strongly supports a particular leader, group or idea 坚定的支持者；铁杆拥护者
