James Mattis spent his last day in office as America’s defence secretary. Mr Mattis decided to step down after Donald Trump unilaterally announced the withdrawal of American troops from Syria. (Mr Trump also said he would downsize America’s deployment to Afghanistan, but he appears to have changed his mind.) Mr Mattis had wanted to stay until February, but Mr Trump gave him a week to clear his desk.	美国国防部长詹姆斯·马丁今天离任。在唐纳德·特朗普单方面宣布从叙利亚撤回美国军队之后，马蒂先生决定辞职。（特朗普先生还曾宣称他将缩减美国在阿富汗的人员规模，但是他似乎已经改变了想法。）马蒂曾计划工作到二月份，但是特朗普先生给让他在一周之内清理好办公室。
&emnp;Mr Trump’s decision to withdraw from Syria was felt across the Middle East. Basharal-Assad, Syria’s dictator , welcomed it, as did his Russian and Iranian backers. America’s Kurdish allies, feeling betrayed, asked Mr Assad to protect them from a looming offensive by Turkey. And Arab countries that loathe Mr Assad quickly tried to make up with him.	特朗普从叙利亚撤军的决定触动整个中东。叙利亚的独裁者巴沙尔·阿萨的和大的俄罗斯和伊朗支持者一样欢迎这项决定。（叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德欢迎这项决定，他的俄罗斯和伊朗支持者也欢迎这项决定。）美国的库尔德盟友感觉遭到了背叛，并要求阿萨德保护他们免遭土耳其若隐若现的侵犯。同时那些厌恶（谴责）阿萨德的阿拉伯国家很快尝试弥补与他的关系（对话）。
Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, called for an election to be held on April 9th, seven months earlier than originally scheduled. Many see this as an attempt by Mr Netanyahu to head off possible corruption charges.	以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡呼吁比原定时间早7个月的四月九日举行选举。许多人把它看作内塔尼亚胡拦截（应对）可能的腐败指控的一种尝试。
Elizabeth Warren became the first heavy-hitter to enter the race for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 2020. The senator from Massachusetts favours higher taxes, universal health care and 40% of seats on company boards reserved for workers.

Jair Bolsonaro, a former army captain and apologist for military rule, took office as Brazil’s president. Addressing congress, he proposed a “national pact ” to overcome “the yoke of corruption, criminality” and “economic irresponsibility ”. In a more combative speech to a crowd of 100,000, he said he would free Brazil from “socialism, inverted values, the bloated state and political correctness ”.	前陆军上尉和军事统治的辩护士（军事法规的批评者）Jair Bolsonaro接任巴西总统。在国会演讲中，他提出了一个”国家协议“去消除“腐败和犯罪的枷锁”和“经济上的不负责任”。在一场对多达100000人的更加激烈的演讲中，他承诺他将把巴西从“社会主义，颠倒的价值，臃肿的政府和政治正确”中解放出来。
