#Opinion by Tom Rogan | "I believe Biden’s China policy will be more conciliatory towards China than was Trump’s."
"China will ensure that Biden’s presidency is defined in no small part by how he deals with Beijing. I hope that the incoming president has the fortitude to stand resolute."

*scare quotes: https://bit.ly/3gHWPca
★★★★★★★★★★★★
《華爾街日報》專文:
The U.S. has formally notified the World Health Organization it will withdraw from the United Nations agency over President Trump’s criticism of its ties to China, a move critics say will hamper the international fight against the Covid-19 pandemic and sap the U.S. of global influence.
1. World Health Organization 世界衛生組織(簡稱WHO)
2. withdraw 使退出
3. the United Nations agency 聯合國機構
4. ties to 跟...的關係;聯繫
5. hamper 阻礙
6. pandemic 全球大流行的疾病
7. sap (v.)(尤指經過一段很長的時間)削弱;使耗盡
8. global influence 全球影響力
美國已正式通知世界衛生組織,基於總統川普對WHO與中國關係的抨擊,美國將退出這個聯合國下屬機構。批評人士表示,此舉將阻礙國際社會抗擊新冠大流行,並削弱美國的全球影響力。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
The U.S. State Department sent notice to the U.N. on July 6 it would end its 72-year-old membership in the WHO. The exit won’t take effect until next July, leaving it contingent on Mr. Trump’s re-election. His rival for the White House, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, said Tuesday the U.S. would remain a member if he wins.
9. The U.S. State Department 美國國務院
10. membership 會籍;會員身分;會員資格
11. exit (n./v.) 退出
12. take effect 起作用;産生效果
13. contingent on/upon sth 視⋯⋯而定;因⋯⋯而變;取決於⋯⋯
14. re-election 連任;再度當選
15. rival 競爭者;對手
16. the White House 白宮(美國總統府)
17. presumptive 可據以推定的;推測為真的
18. Democratic 美國民主黨的
19. presidential nominee 總統候選人
美國國務院7月6日向聯合國發出通知,稱將終止美國在WHO長達72年的成員身份。美國退出WHO要到明年7月才會生效,因此最後結果將取決於川普是否連任。川普的競選對手、民主黨候選人拜登週二表示,如果他獲勝,美國將繼續是WHO的成員。

The U.S. is the single largest donor to the WHO, giving about $450 million a year, much of it earmarked for specific diseases such as polio, which has nearly been eradicated. A U.S. exit would eliminate that funding going forward and leave the WHO more dependent on private donors, such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, its second-largest contributor. It would accelerate a shift in which global health increasingly relies on a handful of billionaire donors and charities, with national governments reluctant to offer more taxpayer funds, public health experts have said.
20. donor 捐贈者
21. earmark 指定⋯⋯作特定用途
22. polio 脊髓灰質炎;小兒麻痺症
23. eradicate 根除;消滅;杜絕
24. eliminate 消除
25. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation 比爾暨梅琳達蓋茲基金會
26. contributor 捐獻者;捐助者;捐款人
27. accelerate 促使⋯⋯早日發生
28. a shift in... 對⋯⋯的改變(主意、立場等)
29. a handful of billionaire 少數的億萬富翁
30. reluctant 不情願的;勉強的
31. taxpayer 納稅人
美國是WHO的單一最大捐贈者,每年捐款約4.5億美元,其中大部分款項專門用於脊髓灰質炎等特定疾病。脊髓灰質炎已經接近被消除。美國退出會使WHO在未來失去上述資金,將令該機構更多地依賴私人捐贈者,例如其第二大捐贈者比爾暨梅琳達蓋茲基金會。公共衛生專家表示,這將加速一項轉變,即全球衛生依賴於少數億萬富翁捐贈者和慈善機構,而非西方大型政府的納稅人資金。
*「donor」與「contributor」雖皆有捐贈者之義,惟後者之捐款帶有意向性與合作性,如蓋茲基金會捐贈專款供杜絕小兒麻痺症研究之用;前者則是單純捐款,同時也能作「器官」捐贈者。

UNDISPUTED | Shannon: Should the presumptive MVP spend more time focusing on this weekend's game?
presumptive 在 pennyccw Youtube 的最讚貼文
Long after the Golden State Warriors were presented with their third NBA Finals trophy in the past four years on Friday night, the game operations crew at Quicken Loans Arena had a few unenviable final tasks to get through.
Because these Finals were so short, and the last game so noncompetitive, the flame-blowing machines affixed to the jumbo screen high above the court had to burn off extra fuel in their tanks before the arena and the NBA season turned over to a long, uncertain summer.
As the Warriors players and coaches celebrated in their locker room, fire sprang forth from the scoreboard toward their families and friends on the court. One last angry, empty lament from the Cavaliers and every other franchise that's tried and failed to dethrone these Warriors over the past four seasons.
"Wow, that felt like that last scene in 'Game of Thrones,'" Warriors coach Steve Kerr's wife, Margot, said, referencing the iconic battle scene in Season 7 of the hit HBO show, when the presumptive ruler of the Iron Throne, Daenerys Targaryen, flies in on her fire-breathing dragon to destroy the superior Lannister army. A great analogy, except the dragon was far more effective.
These flames, like the flames 29 other teams in the NBA hurled at Golden State this season, never really touched them.
Yes, the Cavaliers had a chance to win two of the four Finals games. But that was only due to the brilliance of LeBron James. And even then, there was never a time when the Warriors genuinely felt threatened in this series.
The Houston Rockets took them to seven games in the Western Conference finals and may have prevailed if point guard Chris Paul hadn't injured his hamstring at the end of Game 5. Of course, the Warriors might've won that series in five games if former Finals MVP Andre Iguodala hadn't missed most of it with a leg injury. And even when the Warriors faced elimination, it always felt like they should win, if they simply played up to their capabilities.
Golden State had more talent, more depth, more swagger and more experience than any team in the league -- maybe ever. That's been the case since the Warriors added two-time Finals MVP Kevin Durant to a team that won an NBA-record 73 games two years ago.
"We're loaded, and I'm not afraid to say that," Steve Kerr said.
Kerr's challenge this year hasn't been harnessing that talent or figuring out what to do with it. The challenge this time came from within. The Warriors' toughest opponent this year was themselves. Could they stay motivated through the slog of the regular season? Could Kerr remind them to be grateful for the chance at history, rather than bored or resentful at the obligations of greatness?
"Probably the hardest road we have had," Warriors guard Stephen Curry said. "A lot went into this year, mentally and physically, to get to the finish line."
High-class problems, to be sure. But nothing compared to the problem Golden State has created for the rest of the league.
