The Trump administration had declared El Mencho's group to be a foreign terrorist organization and committed themselves to their total elimination.

好的，我們來聽第一個新聞標題。

Yes, this is from Fox News, a U.S. news organization.

是的，這是來自美國新聞機構 Fox News 的報導。

Trump's Total Elimination Strategy Paved Way for Fall of Cartel Kingpin El Mencho.

The headline writer believes that the approach of the Trump administration in the US Ultimately led to the success of the Mexican operation.

這個標題的作者認為，川普政府在美國的策略最終促成了墨西哥行動的成功。

And we're going to learn the expression pave the way.

我們今天要學習的說法是 pave the way。

The word pave does have a literal meaning, which is to make a concrete or stone path for people to walk or drive on.

「pave」這個字有字面上的意思，就是鋪設混凝土或石板路，供人行走或開車。

But when we see pave the way like this in the news, it's usually a metaphor.

但當我們在新聞中看到「pave the way」時，它通常是個比喻。

And the metaphor means to make something possible.

這個比喻的意思是讓某件事變得可能。

Yes, a government policy or initiative can pave the way for things to happen.

是的，政府的政策或措施可以為事情的發生鋪平道路。

We usually use this phrase in a positive sense.

我們通常會用這個片語來表達正面的意思。

You'll notice that in the headline it's just pave way.

你會注意到標題裡只有「pave way」。

And that's because news headlines often leave out articles like the to make things shorter, we've had pave the way make something possible.

這是因為新聞標題為了求簡潔，常常會省略像「the」這樣的冠詞，我們有「pave the way」讓某件事變得可能。

For example, raising tax has paved the way for increased spending.

例如，提高稅收為增加支出鋪平了道路。

And Phil, we're going to learn the word cartel.

Phil，我們要來學一個詞：cartel。

Yes, the word cartel is often used as it is here to describe the large criminal gangs who control the international drug trade.

是的，cartel 這個詞在這裡常用來形容控制國際毒品交易的大型犯罪集團。

It does, however, have a broader meaning.

A cartel is a group of companies that decide to work together to keep prices high and increase their profits.

Cartel 是一個公司團體，決定合作以維持高價並增加利潤。

Many countries have laws that make cartels illegal as they're seen as unfair competition.

許多國家都有法律禁止 cartel，因為這被視為不公平競爭。

But there are examples of legal cartels, such as opec, an organization of oil producing countries that works to influence the supply and price of oil.

但也有合法的 cartel 例子，像是 OPEC，一個產油國組織，致力於影響石油的供應和價格。

But most often when news headlines are talking about cartels, they're talking about large organised drug gangs.

但大多數時候，當新聞標題談論 cartel 時，他們指的是大型有組織的毒品幫派。

We've had Cartel, a large criminal organization involved in the drug trade.

Also a group of companies that work together to keep prices high.

And that's what our next headline is about.

This one is from the Telegraph, a newspaper in the uk.

這個標題來自英國的報紙《泰晤士報》。

這個標題再次來自《泰晤士報》。

World Cup Matches in jeopardy after US Coordinated hit on Mexican cartel boss.

Now, the writer of this headline is worried about World cup games due to be held in Mexico.

現在，這個標題的作者擔心即將在墨西哥舉行的世界盃比賽。

We're going to learn the expression in jeopardy.

我們要來學習「in jeopardy」這個表達。

If something is in jeopardy, then it's at risk.

如果某件事物處於危險之中，那就表示它有風險。

The writer here thinks that there could be a risk that the World cup games in Mexico don't happen.

作者認為，在墨西哥舉行的世界盃比賽可能會面臨風險，無法順利進行。

The noun jeopardy has a similar meaning to the noun risk.

名詞 jeopardy 的意思跟名詞 risk 差不多。

而且還有一個動詞，對吧，Phil？

If a business makes a risky decision, they might jeopardise their future profits.

如果一家公司做出冒險的決定，他們可能會危及未來的利潤。

They might put their success in jeopardy.

他們可能會讓他們的成功處於危險之中。

Be careful with the spelling of this word because it doesn't look the way it sounds.
