intro
LL: 欢迎收听成杨英语日刊。我是 LL，今天我们要聊聊印度大规模的教育改革，还有硅谷关于中国 AI 模型的热烈讨论。
DD: Welcome back! I'm DD. Today we're diving into some major headlines, from India's response to student protests to the latest tech tools for managing your digital life.
DD: 在开始深入讨论之前，我们先来看看今天节目中会出现的一些核心词汇，这些词对理解新闻背景非常有帮助。
LL: Before we get into the details, let's preview our key phrases for today. These terms will help you better understand the context of our stories.

world
LL: 首先关注国际新闻，印度总理莫迪最近宣布成立一个由 Nandan Nilekani 领导的高级 task force，也就是专案组。

DD: In Australia, a federal court upheld a ruling against Pauline Hanson for racial discrimination after she told a senator to go back to Pakistan.
