今天帶著大家研讀一篇短文：川普被“刺殺未遂”後，在自家社交媒體“truth social”的一段內心獨白，文筆很好，雖然沒用什麼高階詞，但“簡約而不簡單”：

①I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. ②Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. ③It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. ④Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. ⑤ I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. ⑥ I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. ⑦ Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. ⑧GOD BLESS AMERICA!

整體先翻譯一下：

我要感謝美國特勤局和所有執法部門對賓夕法尼亞州巴特勒發生的槍擊事件的迅速響應。最重要的是，我想向在集會中被殺害的人的家人表示哀悼，也向另一位受重傷的人的家族表達慰問。在我們國家發生這樣的行為真是難以置信。目前關於現已死亡的槍手的資訊還一無所知。子彈穿透了我右耳上部，我立即意識到情況不妙，因為我聽到了嗖嗖聲和槍聲，並感到子彈撕裂皮膚的痛感，大量流血後，我才意識到發生了什麼。天佑美利堅！
