DD: Hello everyone! I'm DD. We've got a lot to cover today, from Brazil's WTO challenge to a record-breaking IPO in Shanghai and even some news about modular laptops.
DD: 在深入探讨这些故事之前，我们先来看看今天的 8 个核心词汇，这些词会帮助你更好地理解接下来的内容。
LL: Before we dive into the stories, let's go over our 8 key phrases for today. These terms will be essential for following along with the news.
LL: 前四个词是：unjustified，意为“不合理的”；effectiveness，意为“有效性”；intercept，意为“拦截”；还有 high-yield，指“高收益的”。
DD: The first four are: "unjustified," which means groundless; "effectiveness," referring to how successful something is; "intercept," to stop something in transit; and "high-yield," often used for savings accounts with high interest.
DD: 后四个词是：self-reliance，意思是“自力更生”；repairable，“可维修的”；unbundling，指“拆解销售”；最后是 wildfire，“山火”。
LL: And the last four: "self-reliance," meaning relying on your own resources; "repairable," describing something that can be fixed; "unbundling," the practice of pricing services separately; and finally, "wildfire," a destructive forest fire.
world
LL: 首先关注国际贸易。巴西正式向世贸组织提出申诉，挑战美国对巴西出口产品征收的一系列新关税。
DD: Starting with world news, Brazil has requested WTO consultations to challenge new U.S. tariffs, calling the measures unjustified and inconsistent with international trade rules.
DD: 巴西总统卢拉认为这些关税是在干预大选，而美方则称此举是为了应对数字贸易和知识产权等方面的问题。
LL: President Lula has denounced the tariffs as election interference, while the U.S. maintains the measures address concerns over digital trade and intellectual property.
LL: 在非洲，乍得宣布将退出国际刑事法院，理由是该法院对非洲国家存在偏见且有效性有限。
DD: Moving to Africa, Chad has notified the UN of its plan to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, arguing that the tribunal's effectiveness is limited and its focus is unfairly concentrated on African states.
DD: 乍得政府表示，目前的法院机制已经无法满足公平的期望，他们呼吁建立一个更公平的非洲司法机制。
LL: The Chadian government stated that the ICC's current practices no longer meet the standards of fairness, prompting them to advocate for a more balanced continental justice system.
LL: 中东局势方面，沙特阿拉伯表示拦截了多架瞄准其石油设施的无人机，并指责这些无人机来自伊拉克境内的亲伊朗武装。
DD: Over in the Middle East, Saudi air defenses managed to intercept several drones targeting oil facilities, with Riyadh blaming Iran-backed militias operating out of Iraq.
DD: 伊拉克总理已下令调查这些指控，而胡塞武装也声称对沙特东部和西部的石油管道进行了袭击。

DD: Another massive story is the Shanghai debut of CXMT, China’s leading DRAM maker, which saw its stock price skyrocket by 466% on its first day of trading.

DD: For hardware fans, Framework has released the Laptop 13 Pro, a redesigned version of its modular notebook featuring a CNC aluminum chassis and improved battery life.
DD: 虽然这款机器依然保持了高度可维修的特性，但评论家指出，由于内存价格上涨，其起步价也大幅上涨。

business
LL: 商业领域，捷蓝航空推出了名为 BlueFirst 的国内头等舱产品，并引入了拆解销售的定价模式。
DD: Turning to business, JetBlue is shaking up its cabin offerings with a new domestic first-class called BlueFirst and a revamped fare structure based on unbundling premium services.
DD: 这意味着乘客可以先选舱位再选服务档位，比如基础票可能就不包含选座功能，以吸引更多追求性价比的旅客。
LL: This means travelers first choose their cabin and then pick a fare tier, allowing them to skip certain perks for a lower entry price, similar to what other major carriers are doing.
LL: 在印尼，央行行长佩里·瓦吉约突然宣布辞职，这让市场感到非常震惊，印尼卢比也随之大幅波动。
DD: In Indonesia, the sudden resignation of Central Bank Governor Perry Warjiyo for personal reasons has rattled investors and put fresh pressure on the rupiah.
DD: 尽管代理行长承诺会维持政策连续性，但投资者依然担心在追求高增长的过程中，央行的独立性是否会受到挑战。
LL: While the interim governor has vowed to keep existing policies in place, investors remain concerned about the central bank's independence and its future monetary direction.
LL: 最后，欧洲正面临严峻的山火灾害。法国和西班牙的山火已经导致超过 30 万人撤离，受灾面积达到了创纪录的水平。
DD: Finally, Europe is battling devastating wildfire outbreaks in France and Spain, forcing over 300,000 people to flee their homes during a record-breaking fire season.
