今天我们要学的词是 gambit.
gambit 是指精心策划的一步棋，特别是带有风险的策略。$150 million in aid to El Salvador marks China’s latest gambit to make inroads in Central America. 中国向萨尔瓦多提供1.5亿美元援助标志着中国为进入中美洲而最近精心策划的一步棋。
President Trump’s withdrawal from an international nuclear deal with Iran sparked dismay among U.S. allies this spring, but his gambit has proved a lucrative one for oil companies such as ExxonMobil and Chevron. 特朗普总统今年春天宣布退出伊核协议时让美国的盟友们感到沮丧，但他的策略证明对埃克森美孚和雪佛龙等石油公司来说有着丰厚利润。
