早報：特朗普威脅關(guān)閉政府；第七艦隊司令丟官
早安。
Here’s what you need to know:
以下是今天不容錯過的新聞：
• Analysts are poring over new hints from North Korea that it is developing more advanced, solid-fuel ballistic missiles. Such missiles are easier to transport and hide up to the moment of launch, reducing their vulnerability to a pre-emptive strike.
• 分析人士正在仔細研究朝鮮的最新暗示，即它正在研發(fā)更為先進的固體燃料彈道導(dǎo)彈。這樣的導(dǎo)彈更易運輸和隱藏，減少了他們遭受先發(fā)制人打擊的風(fēng)險。
The photo above, carried in the main state-run newspaper, showed what appeared to be a conceptual diagram for an “underwater strategic ballistic missile” with an extended range. Submarine launches are also harder to forestall.
上圖似乎是一個延長射程的“水下戰(zhàn)略彈道導(dǎo)彈”的概念圖，它刊登在一份主要的官方報紙上。潛艇水下發(fā)射同樣更難預(yù)防。

Back Story
幕后故事
We often go back in history for our back stories, but today we’re going way back.
我們經(jīng)?；仡檿r報以往的報道，今天我們要再往歷史深處追溯。
Mount Vesuvius erupted on this day in 79 A.D., burying the Roman town of Pompeii under a heap of ash, rocks and pumice.
公元前79年的今天，維蘇威火山(Mount Vesuvius)爆發(fā)，將羅馬小城龐貝掩埋在灰燼、巖石和浮石之下。
Most of what we know of the event we owe to Pliny the Younger, who described it in a letter to the Roman historian Tacitus. According to the account, in the early afternoon that day, Pliny’s mother told his uncle, Pliny the Elder, that “a cloud which appeared of a very unusual size and shape” was approaching.
我們對這一事件的了解主要仰賴于小普利尼(Pliny the Younger)，他在給羅馬歷史學(xué)家塔西陀(Tacitus)的信中描述了此事。據(jù)記載，當(dāng)天下午稍早時，小普利尼的媽媽告訴他的叔叔老普利尼(Pliny the Elder)，“一片看起來大小和形狀都十分怪異的云彩”正在飄來。
“I cannot give you a more exact description,” Pliny the Younger wrote of the cloud, “than by likening it to that of a pine-tree, for it shot up to a great height in the form of a very tall trunk, which spread itself out at the top into a sort of branches.”
“我給不出更準確的描述了，” 小普利尼寫到這片云時說，“它像是一棵松樹，樹干長得極高，頂部像枝葉一樣散開。”
Pliny the Elder set off by boat to explore the cloud’s source, encountering “black pieces of burning rock” along the way. Yet he continued onward, reportedly telling his pilot, “Fortune favors the bold.”
老普利尼乘坐小船去探索這片云彩的來源，一路上遇到許多“滾燙的黑色石塊”。然后他繼續(xù)對船員說，“幸運總是偏愛大膽的人。”
The maxim, however — at least that day — proved false.
然而這句格言被證偽了——至少在那天。
“He suffocated,” his nephew wrote, “by some gross and noxious vapor.”
“他悶死了”，侄子寫道，“被惡臭的毒氣。”
