從時事新聞張學習雅思寫作和雅思口語，今天我們關注比利時恐怖襲擊。以下發言來自bbc。挑選了bbc評論員，2個twitter用戶，被捕的恐怖分子Nicolas Moreau，奧巴馬和特朗普的言論，一起來收集地道的雅思高分詞匯和表達吧。

1. jihadist capital of Europe 歐洲圣戰士之都

Molenbeek是布魯塞爾內城的一處貧民區，是巴黎爆炸案和布魯塞爾爆炸案的發源地。

Molenbeek is a place full of contradictions.

In the poor inner-city areas of Brussels, deprivation, petty crime and radicalisation appear to have gone hand in hand. The BBC's Secunder Kermani has been finding out how drinking, smoking cannabis and fighting - combined with resentment towards white Belgian society for its perceived discrimination against Arabs - prepared some young men for a role as fighters in Syria, and terrorists in Europe.

-BBC評論員

高分表達：

go hand in hand 相隨，密切相關。一般表達為：A and B go hand in hand; A go hand in hand with B.

perceived discrimination against 所感受到的歧視

prepare sb for as a role  將...準備好扮演...角色

2. media bias 恐襲報道的媒體偏見

歐美社交媒體上，許多人在反思同樣是恐襲，歐洲相比較其他地區得到了國際社會更大的關注，這是一種媒體偏見。

Don’t wish to undermine the tragic events in Brussels but it saddens me how the world reacts(rightfully) to 1 crime while silent on others.

You were Paris, You WEREN’T Ankara&Isanbul and now you ARE Brussels.

-Twitter

評論：這個吐槽很兇。讓我也想到了我們曾經刷屏的“我們都是汶川”，“我們都是天津”等祈福

高分表達：

undermine  削弱，破壞。常見搭配為undermine confidence/authority

it saddens me...讓我傷心的是... 非常好用的句型，后面接that從句或者其他賓語從句。

be silent on...對某事保持沉默。

3.Amni組織(IS的外部行動機構)

1500 people work for Amni. I don’t know how it’s recruitment is done. You have to be someone trustworthy to join. Its role is to detect spies in Iraq and Syria. That’s only its internal role. Its external role is to send people over the world to commit violent attacks. Each by getting 50000 euros mounts an attack.

-被捕的恐怖分子Nicolas Moreau 交代組織內幕

高分表達：

trustworthy 值得信任的。

internal/external 內部的，外部的。

mount 發動/發起。

4.我們的心與你們同在

the thoughts and prayers of American people are with the people of Belgium, "and we stand in solidarity with them in condemning these outrageous attacks against innocent people.We will do whatever is necessary to support our friend and ally Belgium in bringing to justice those who are responsible.This is yet another reminder that the world must unite," Obama said. "We must be together regardless of nationality or race or faith in fighting against the scourge of terrorism."We can and will defeat those who threaten the safety and security of people all around the world

-美國總統Obama on Brussels attacks

高分表達：

thoughts and prayers are with...我們的心和祈禱和...在一起。超級標準的表達哀思的語言，普遍見于各種災難之后的政治家發言。

stand in solidarity with...與...不離不棄/同舟共濟。非常實用的表達。

scourge 禍害。一般用來形容那種像貧困，疾病，腐敗等影響整個社會的災禍。用在雅思寫作文，非常搶眼。

5.Belguin is just the beginning(比利時只是開始)

Belgium is no longer Belgium. Belgium is not the Belgium you and I knew from 20 years ago, which was one of the most beautiful and safest cities in the world. Belgium is a horror show right now. Terrible things are happening. People are leaving. People are afraid. This all happened because, frankly, there’s no assimilation.”

Belgium is a country, not a city, but we’ll put that aside. Trump wasted no time in saying the terror attacks were more evidence that governments needed to crack down on extremists with any means possible — even using waterboarding — and that immigration policies had failed.

-共和黨總體候選人Trump on Brussel attacks

高分表達：

horror show 恐怖秀。show是一個非常實用的小詞，老外特喜歡用，而我們特別不會用好。

put...aside 把...放在一邊。

waste no time in doing... 抓緊時間...
