🔴Tuesday April 20th 2021 🔵2021年4月20日星期二 🔱Espresso - Today’s agenda 每日濃縮 - 今日頭條 😵🇷🇺😵Not going quietly: Navalny v Putin 納瓦尼 vs. 普丁：死也要拉你墊背 Yesterday Russia’s prison service said that Alexei Navalny’s health was “satisfactory”, but that he had been moved to an infirmary—nearly three weeks into a hunger strike to demand access to his preferred doctor. But the opposition leader’s supporters have warned he is at risk of imminent death. Even incarcerated and suffering acute mental and physical torment, Mr Navalny is a threat to President Vladimir Putin. The international support the dissident enjoys was shown in an open letter on Friday from nearly 80 eminent intellectuals and artists from around the world, and in an American government warning that there will be “consequences” if he dies in jail. He also has support at home. Demonstrations to back him are planned across Russia tomorrow. Moscow’s prosecutor has applied to a court to have Mr Navalny’s organisation closed down as extremist. Mr Putin seems nervous, whereas Mr Navalny seems to know no fear. 在入獄後，為了抗議俄羅斯獄方沒有給予其偏好的醫生照護，該國著名反對派領袖納瓦尼 (Alexei Navalny) 便開始了近三週的絕食抗議。俄國監獄部門昨日指出，納瓦尼已被送往醫務室治療，而其目前的健康狀況「令人滿意」。不過呢，納瓦尼的支持者們卻警告他正處於隨時死亡的風險中。儘管身陷囹圄，並且遭受身心靈上的折磨，納瓦尼仍是俄國總統普丁的眼中釘。這位異議人士的國際聲援顯見於上週五，一份來自世界各地將近八十位知名學者以及藝術家的公開信，以及美國政府警告，如果納瓦尼死於獄中，(俄方) 將面臨「嚴重後果」。納瓦尼在國內亦備受支持。明天俄國各地已規劃了數場「挺納」示威活動。莫斯科的檢察官已向法院申請，以極端主義組織為由關閉納瓦尼旗下的基金會與辦公室。在普丁似乎惴惴不安的同時，納瓦尼卻看起來毫無畏懼。 ⚜️Daily takeaway⚜️ 每日單字精選 ✅Satisfactory (adj.): 滿意的 (形) ✅Infirmary (n.): 醫務室 (名) ✅Hunger strike (n.): 絕食抗議 (名) ✅Imminent (adj.): 即將來臨的、緊迫的 (形) ✅Torment (v./n.): 折磨 (動/名) ✅Dissident (n./adj.): 異己 (名)、持不同意見的 (形) ✅Consequence (n.): 後果 (名) ✅Prosecutor (n.): 檢察官 (名) ✅Extremist (n.): 極端主義者、極端份子 (名) — ✔︎ 按讚【每日一經濟學人】Facebook 粉專：https://reurl.cc/Lddode ✔︎ 追蹤【每日一經濟學人】Instagram 帳號：https://reurl.cc/Oqqoq3 ✔︎ 訂閱【每日一經濟學人】YouTube 頻道：https://reurl.cc/Y665dX ✔︎ 閱讀【每日一經濟學人】Medium 平台：https://reurl.cc/k00WZr — 🔶如有商業合作或業務需求，請洽：[email protected] 🔴如影音內容有誤，歡迎來信勘誤：[email protected] -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
