标题：India's surprise baby bust is a warning to the world

It is not just rich places that are becoming less fertile

正文：For decades, India's rulers sent citizens a blunt message: stop having so many children. In the 1960s school walls carried slogans urging families to limit births. By the 1970s the government took an even harsher turn,overseeing the sterilisation of millions of mostly poor young adults, many against their will. Yet when Indian textbooks are reprinted this summer, they will carry a startlingly different warning—not about too many babies, but about too few.

知识点：blunt adj. /blʌnt/
direct and straightforward, often in a way that may offend 直率的；生硬的
• She gave a blunt assessment of his performance, saying it was simply not good enough. 她对他的表现给出了直率的评价，说实在是不够好。
• His blunt refusal surprised everyone in the room. 他生硬的拒绝让屋里所有人都很惊讶。

标题：How to make football more exciting

The World Cup is wonderful. It could be even better

正文：Football is the beautiful game. But it’s often also the boring game.The World Cup, which starts on June 11th, is being hosted by America,Canada and Mexico, the international equivalent of going to a dinner party and hearing the hosts rowing in the kitchen. The tournament will feature 48 teams playing 104 matches over the course of six and a half weeks. Although watching matches that feature your own nation is dependably exciting, for neutrals the average game is likely to be pretty drab. The stakes at a World Cup are too high for players to take big risks, and hanging on for a draw often pays off for less fancied teams.

知识点：equivalent /ɪˈkwɪvələnt/ n.
本义为 “等价物；相等物；对应物”，外刊体育评论语境核心义为 类比物；具有同等
体验 / 效果的情况（本文用生动比喻，将三国合办世界杯的内部矛盾比作晚宴上主人在厨房吵架的尴尬体验）
核心搭配：the equivalent of、cultural equivalent、functional equivalent、direct equivalent、rough equivalent
・Hosting the World Cup across three countries is the equivalent of organizing a wedding with three sets of parents who don't get along. 横跨三个国家举办世界杯，就好比筹办一场由三对不和的父母共同主持的婚礼。
・For many football fans, a last-minute winning goal is the equivalent of pure joy. 对很多球迷来说，一粒读秒绝杀进球就是纯粹快乐的代名词。

标题：AI super-apps are remaking China's internet

Welcome to the agentic era

正文：To have a coffee delivered to an office in Shanghai, users can ask one of China's artificial-intelligence super-apps to choose a drink, press “confirm” and wait for it to arrive. Delegating such decisions carries risks. When one user asked for a “special coffee”, he received a rose-petal-vinegar-flavoured one.Yet the speed at which such services are spreading in China is remarkable.More than 600m people are thought to have used some form of agentic app. China is moving rapidly towards a future in which AI chooses,purchases and delivers many goods and services, reshaping its digital economy.

知识点：delegate v. /ˈdelɪɡeɪt/
to give a task or responsibility to someone else so that they do it for you 委托；把……交给别人代劳
• Good managers know when to delegate tasks to their team members rather than doing everything themselves. 优秀的管理者知道何时把任务委托给团队成员，而不是事必躬亲。
• Busy parents often delegate grocery shopping to delivery apps. 忙碌的父母常把买菜这件事委托给配送应用。

标题：Why the world needs more franchises

From pizza to Pilates, franchises mint millionaires and make customers happy

正文：How do you get rich in today's America? Founding an artificialintelligence startup may look tempting, but most fail. Getting an advanced degree and slogging it out as a corporate lawyer or financier was once a reliable path to wealth, but now looks threatened by AI. Perhaps you should look instead to the company that has plausibly created more millionaires than any other in history: McDonald's. Most of its outlets are franchises, run by independent firms that pay royalties to the brand—and often make a fortune. If fast food isn't your thing, do not fear: the franchising model can be found everywhere from hotels to Pilates studios.

知识点：founding /ˈfaʊndɪŋ/v.（现在分词，原形 found）
本义为 “创立，创建（组织、机构）；建立，设立”，外刊商业语境核心义为 创办（企业），发起成立（初创公司）（本文特指发起并搭建一家新商业实体的行为，是创业话题的核心动词）
核心搭配：founding a startup、founding team、founding member、founding
partner、founding date
・The museum was founded by a wealthy art collector in 1920. 这座博物馆由一
位富有的艺术收藏家于 1920 年创立。
・Founding a sustainable business requires more than just a good idea—it
needs solid execution. 创办一家可持续发展的企业不仅需要好点子，更需要扎实的执行力。

标题：How East Asia should respond to its China shock

As they deindustrialise, South Korea and Japan must reform

正文：America’s artificial-intelligence boom has put the rich economies of north-east Asia into overdrive. In the past year operating profits at South Korea's makers of memory chips have risen by over 500%. Even sluggish Japan is benefiting—though it long ago lost its title as the world's pre-eminent chipmaker. In 2025 all three countries enjoyed record exports and current account surpluses.

知识点：overdrive/ˈəʊvədraɪv/（英） /ˈoʊvərdraɪv/（美） 名词本义为 “（汽车的）超速挡、加速传动装置”，外刊经济产业语境核心义为 全速运转、超负荷运转、进入加速冲刺状态（本文特指美国人工智能热潮推动东北亚发达经济体全面进入产能全开、高速增长的状态，是外刊描述行业爆发式增长的生动表达，比 “rapid growth” 更具画面感和冲击力）
核心搭配：put sth into overdrive、go into overdrive、kick into overdrive、the industry is in overdrive
・This luxury sedan is equipped with a smooth six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. 这款豪华轿车配备了带超速挡的平顺六速自动变速箱。
・The global battery industry has gone into overdrive to keep up with the
explosive demand for electric vehicles. 全球电池行业已全速运转，以跟上电动汽车
爆发式的需求增长。
