阅读原文： �标题 Kamala Harris lacks charisma and time But, if nominated, that does not rule out her defeating Donald Trump 正文There are, broadly, two ways to become the presidential nominee of one of America’s two major political parties. One is to rise up as an insider, brushing past rivals while taking advantage of a family name, a long run in Congress or the mentorship of powerful elders. Think of the two Bush presidents and Joe Biden. The other way is to win as an outsider, through charisma and chutzpah. Barack Obama and Donald Trump did that. Kamala Harris, the clear front-runner to become the Democratic nominee following Mr Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, belongs emphatically to the first camp. �知识点 rise up If someone rises up to a higher position or status, they become more important, successful, or powerful.

Merely receiving an invitation conferred bragging rights on status-obsessed business leaders and politicians. The cost of the nuptials,with countless ancillary events, was said to be in excess of $100m. That is a staggering sum for almost anyone—but not the Ambani family, which owns a controlling interest in Reliance Industries, the country’s most valuable company, dominating everything from telecoms to oil refining. Despite some anti-rich finger-wagging, many Indians appear to have viewed the event, which even the maharajas of yore would envy, as evidence that India—and Indian business—could once again glitter. �知识点 agog adj. /əˈɡɑːɡ/ excited and eager to know or see more 极度兴奋的；兴奋期待的，急切的 • We waited agog for news.我们渴盼得到⾳信。 获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！
