来自BBC学习英语，

这是《从新闻学英语》，- 我们的新闻头条播客。

在这个节目中，

塔利班切断互联网 - 在阿富汗。

你好，我是Beth。

你可以在我们的网站上找到 - 这个节目所有的词汇

和头条，- 以及一份工作表，bbclearningenglish.com。

好的，Phil，- 让我们听听这个故事。

塔利班政府已经切断 - 互联网和许多电话服务

在整个阿富汗。

这是在本月初 - 一些省份服务中断之后发生的。

当局说 - 这是为了'防止不道德行为'。

在12岁以上的女子 - 被禁止进入学校、大学

外国媒体组织 - 报告说无法

联系他们在喀布尔的办公室，- 航班也被中断。

让我们看看第一个头条。

这是来自CNN的：

阿富汗全面互联网中断 - 引发恐慌

塔利班宣誓要消灭 - 不道德活动后。

CNN的头条再次：

阿富汗全面互联网中断 - 引发恐慌

塔利班宣誓要消灭 - 不道德活动后。

好的，这头条中有一些东西 - 要注意。

让我们从'blackout'开始，- 意思是

像电力、- 电话服务或在这个例子中，

互联网连接 - 完全不可用。

如果某事被说成是'immoral'，- 它就是社会认为错误的事情。

什么是immoral - 因文化而异。

例如，在一些文化中，- 欠债被视为不道德，

在其他文化中则不是。

塔利班政府认为 - 女性教育是不道德的，

这次中断阻止了 - 女孩们的在线教育。

女孩们已经被排除在 - 学校和大学之外。

我们要学习 - 短语‘stamp out’。

现在，stamp out的字面意思 - 是用脚踩灭火焰

来停止燃烧。

踩某物是用力 - 用力踩踏某物。

从中我们得到一个隐喻。

消灭某事是 - 强力阻止某事发生。

在头条中，塔利班 - 承诺要消灭，

也就是停止，- 他们认为不道德的行为。

政治家和权威人士 - 经常谈论消灭某些事物

他们想要摆脱的，如 - 犯罪、歧视、腐败

或不可接受的行为。

我们有：stamp out – - 采取强力行动停止某事。

例如，新经理承诺 - 要消灭办公室中的性别歧视。

这是《从新闻学英语》，- 我们的新闻头条播客。

我们正在谈论 - 阿富汗根据我局电力2、

是的，这是来自《独立报》。

塔利班为整个国家 - 切断互联网

因为阿富汗被'拖入深渊'。

英国《独立报》的头条 - 再次：

塔利班为整个国家切断互联网 - 因为阿富汗被'拖入深渊'。

头条包括 - 一个名为阿富汗和平观察组织的

引述，他们说国家 - 正被拖入深渊。

'Abyss'是我们接下来 - 要学习的词。

有一个字面意思 - 我们不常用。

Abyss是一个很大的、- 深的、黑暗的洞，

特别是我们看不到 - 底部的那个。

但是abyss更常用于 - 作为隐喻

来意味着一个非常糟糕的情况 - 很难或不可能摆脱。

头条撰写者是在说

塔利班政府正在把 - 阿富汗带入糟糕的情况，

这个国家正被切断 - 来自帮助的来源。

'Abyss'可以用来描述 - 充满苦难的情况，

比如战乱的国家，

也可以用来描述 - 像抑郁这样的黑暗情绪。

它也用来谈论金钱。

如果一家公司面临 - 财务abyss，

那么它们有 - 非常严重的金钱问题。

我们有：abyss –

一个非常负面的情况 - 难以逃脱。

例如，

没有立即的人道主义援助，- 这个国家可能滑入深渊。

这是《从新闻学英语》，- 我们的新闻头条播客。

今天我们一直在讨论 - 阿富汗的互联网中断。

这里有一个头条谈论 - 这一措施的影响。

是的，这是来自BBC新闻：

阿富汗妇女失去她们的'最后希望' - 塔利班关闭互联网。

BBC新闻的头条再次：

阿富汗妇女失去她们的'最后希望' - 塔利班关闭互联网。

好的，所以我们要 - 学习短语'last hope'。

如果某事是你的last hope，- 那么它是最后

或最终的机会 - 来让某事成功。

我们经常用它来表达 - 没有替代方案。在这里，

它报道了一个阿富汗女子的说法 - 她正在在线大学学习，

在她被塔利班 - 施加工作和学习限制后，

她将此视为她的最后希望。

我们用'last hope'来描述 - 许多类型的事物。

我们经常用它来指生死攸关的事，- 像医疗治疗

或救援任务，- 可能是某人的最后希望。

但它也可以用于 - 更一般的生活，更不严肃的事情。

所以，足球比赛末尾的 - 任意球可能是

球队赢得比赛的最后希望。

我们有：last hope – - 成功的最后机会。

例如，这个新的野生动物保护区 - 可能是让这个品种

保持存活的最后希望。

From BBC Learning English,

this is Learning English from the News, our podcast about the news headlines.

In this programme,

Taliban cuts off internet in Afghanistan.

Hello, I'm Beth.

And I'm Phil.

In this programme, we look at one big news story

and the vocabulary in the headlines that will help you understand it.

You can find all the vocabulary and headlines from this episode,

as well as a worksheet, on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.

OK, Phil, let's hear about this story.

The Taliban government has cut the internet and many telephone services

across Afghanistan.

This follows services being cut in some provinces

earlier this month. Authorities said that this was to 'prevent immorality'.

After women and girls over 12 were barred from schools, universities

and many types of jobs,

many of them used the internet to study online or to sell products abroad.

This shutdown has stopped them from being able to do this.

Afghans living outside the country

have reported being unable to contact their relatives inside Afghanistan.

Foreign media organisations have reported being unable

to contact their offices in Kabul, and flights have also been disrupted.

Let's have our first headline.

This comes from CNN:

Total internet blackout in Afghanistan sparks panic

after Taliban vowed to stamp out immoral activities.

That headline again from CNN:

Total internet blackout in Afghanistan sparks panic

after Taliban vowed to stamp out immoral activities.

OK, there are a few things to look at in this headline.

Let's start with 'blackout', which means

that something like power, telephone services or, in this case,

internet connections are completely unavailable.

If something is said to be 'immoral', it is something society thinks is wrong.

What's considered immoral changes from culture to culture.

For example, in some cultures, being in debt is seen as immoral,

in others it's not.

The Taliban government sees education for women as immoral,

and this blackout has prevented online education for girls.

Girls had already been excluded from schools and universities.

We're going to learn the expression 'stamp out'.

Now, the literal meaning of stamp out means to put out a fire with your feet

to stop it burning.

Stamping on something is stepping on something violently with a lot of force.

From this we get a metaphor.

Stamping something out is to forcefully stop something happening.

In the headline, the Taliban have promised to stamp out,

to stop, what they consider to be immoral.

Politicians and people in authority often talk about stamping out things

that they want to get rid of, like crime, discrimination, corruption

or unacceptable behaviour.

We had: stamp out – take strong action to stop something.

For example, the new manager promised to stamp out sexism in the office.

This is Learning English from the News, our podcast about the news headlines.

We're talking about internet and telephone services being cut off

in Afghanistan.

The move has been criticised by human rights organisations,

one of which is quoted in our next headline.

Yes, this is from The Independent.

Taliban cut internet for whole country

as Afghanistan 'dragged into abyss'.

And that headline again from The Independent in the UK:

Taliban cut internet for whole country as Afghanistan 'dragged into abyss'.

The headline includes a quote from an organisation called Afghan Peace Watch,

who have said that the country is being dragged into an abyss.

'Abyss' is the next word we're going to learn.

There is a literal meaning which we don't use that often.

An abyss is a very big, deep, dark hole,

particularly one where we can't tell where the bottom is.

But abyss is much more commonly used as a metaphor

to mean a very bad situation that is difficult or impossible to get out of.

The headline writer is saying

that the Taliban government is taking Afghanistan into a bad situation,

and that the country is being cut off from sources of help.

'Abyss' can be used to describe situations full of suffering,

like a war-torn country,

and it can be used to describe dark feelings like depression.

It's also used to talk about money.

If a company is facing a financial abyss,

then they have very serious money problems.

We've had: abyss –

a very negative situation that is difficult to escape from.

For example,

without immediate humanitarian aid, the country could slide into the abyss.

This is Learning English from the News, our podcast about the news headlines.

Today we've been talking about Afghanistan's internet blackout.

Here's a headline talking about the impact of this measure.

Yes, this comes from BBC News:

Afghan women lose their 'last hope' as Taliban shuts down internet.

That headline again from BBC News:

Afghan women lose their 'last hope' as Taliban shuts down internet.

OK, so we're going to learn the expression 'last hope'.

If something is your last hope, then it's the last

or final chance that you have for something to be successful.

And we often use it to say that there's no alternative. Here,

it's reporting the words of an Afghan woman who was studying

at an online university, which she saw as her last hope

after restrictions on work and study were imposed by the Taliban.

We use 'last hope' to describe lots of types of things.

We often use it for serious life or death matters, like medical treatment

or rescue missions, which could be someone's last hope.

But it can also be used more generally for less serious things.

So, a free kick at the end of a football match could be

a team's last hope to win the game.

We had: last hope – the last opportunity for success.

For example, the new wildlife reserve could be the last hope

for keeping this species of rhino alive.

That's it for this episode of Learning English from the News.

We'll be back next week with another news story.
