周六早上好，今天来看谷歌进中国的话题，有三篇相关文章，两篇是英文。
01， 连岳著：既然李彦宏这么自信，那该给百度PK谷歌的机会
02，纽约客：【NYTimes】A Generation Grows Up in China Without Google
03，彭博网：【Bloomberg】Google Is Courting Trouble in China
熟悉连岳的文章，都知道市场充分竞争是最好的商业原则，尤其是他推荐的《大国大城》和《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》，着重讲市场分割依靠政策垄断是绝对多输局面，技术创新能解决城市化进程中的大部分问题。
网络世界分成“用得了谷歌的”和“用不了谷歌的”，无论怎么辩解，任你声音再大，用不了谷歌几乎等同于无法与文明世界对话，被更高规则鄙视和抛弃，这种负面形象宣传，杀伤力持久而可怕。
纽约客的文章举了几个例子，说2000年后出生的人已经不去想谷歌脸书推特这样的软件，一位国内同类型同功能的有那么多做的也相当不错，但有一位去加拿大留学的在国外只能使用这套全新的上网软件，回来后顿时觉得国内同类产品垃圾。
“The Chinese apps become useless as soon as you move abroad,” he said. But with Google and others, “whichever country you go to, you can still use these apps,” he added. “The return on investment is very high.”
彭博网则分析了谷歌重返中国与否的难题与利益，毕竟几亿人的网络市场，不管是技术研发还是商业发展，少了中国谷歌对世界的设想就不完整。（What happened to making the world “universally accessible,” the company’s mission statement?）
What’s the point, then? Money, of course, and the potential to reach China’s nearly 800 million internet users — more than twice the population of the U.S. Sundar Pichai, the chief executive of Alphabet’s Google unit, has said he wants Google to reach the whole world, and that includes China.
网站被禁，封杀谷歌，不管也不耽误我们学习英语吧，让人成为哑巴，不代表就阉割了他求知的欲望。
You can count the minutes until politicians ask Google to explain why it refuses to sell artificial intelligence for a U.S. military program but would help China’s government censor information from its own citizens.
超实用的句型，渲染紧张气氛....
You can count the minutes untile Moo said " do you homework!"
不过也可以把minutes换成days，这不就是 指日可待 么？
You can count the days until a high mark in the exam as soon as you study hard everyday.
Neither censorship nor the long odds of success have gone away.
下面进入正题。

Since the price of crude started tumbling in 2014, the world has had a glimpse of the havoc a debilitated oil industry can cause. When oil fell below $30 a barrel in January this year, stock-markets predictably plummeted, oil producers such as Venezuela and Nigeria suffered budget blowouts and social unrest, and some American shale companies were tipped into bankruptcy.
havoc: a situation in which there is a lot of damage or destruction, or in which something cannot continue in its normal way because of problems
debilitated: - - debilitate: make someone physically or mentally weak
句型：
Since .... the world has had a glimpse of ...
然后看几个讲 下跌 的词
- - fall below
- - plummet
- - suffer budget blowouts
- - be tipped into bankrupty
在析经济学人，习高分作文/02中，引用了经济学人的一段话，将 下跌 的同义词使用到极致的例子：
Eventually, America ran into trouble too. The tech-stock bubble burst in early 2000, prompting a broader share price slump. Business investment particularly in technology, sank; and as share prices fell, consumers cut back. By early 2001 America, along with most of the rich world, had slipped into recession, albeit a mild one.
Germany's growth rate has tumbled to around 1%. But if the world economy does stumble, storing stability will be harder this time round because policymakers have so little room for maneuver.
▁▂▃▅▆ ▊★/E〓
Will the industry as a whole deal with climate change by researching and investing in alternatives to fossil fuels, or will it fight with gritted teeth for an oil-based future?
grit: spread grit on roads that have ice on them - - - - - determination to succeed, even in very difficult situations
- - fight with gritted teeth for
- - spare no effort for
* * 咬紧牙关做某事
* * 不遗余力做某事
今日总结：
【1】Yet there are many reasons to worry about .... Though ... is no ...
【2】 - - encouage unity
- - remain devided
【3】It marked the moment when .. came of age
【4】the world has had a glimpse of
【5】fight with gritted teeth for
