2018考研阅读绝对热点之：马克龙！
70后的马克龙上周日在法国大选的第二轮投票中获得超过66%的选民支持（landslide voter support），成为法国历史上第一位非主流党派总统，同时也是历史上最年轻的总统。除了与比自己大24岁的高中语文老师广为人知的忘年恋之外，马克龙最震惊世界之举应该是16年末正式宣布以独立候选人身份参与总统竞选。虽然他在2012年才因出任奥朗德的总统府副秘书长步入政坛，2016年方成立“跨越左右阵营之分”的政治联盟“前进运动”（EnMarche!），但他仍顶住大家质疑的眼光参选，并在2017年的大选中胜出（he delivered and strode to the stage）。但他的挑战才刚刚开始（just the beginning of a long arduous journey），由于前进运动在国会中尚无一位议员，所以他是否能掌握实权，关键还要看6月至关重要的议会选举。若无法获得议会多数席位，他将不得不任命一位反对党总理来主持政府的日常运作，成为有名无实的形式总统（a nominal president）。
今天的句子：
France on Sunday shrugged off the siren call of right-wing populism that enchanted voters in the United States and United Kingdom, rejecting anti-E.U. firebrand Marine Le Pen and choosing as its next president Emmanuel Macron, a centrist political neophyte who has pledged to revive both his struggling country and the flailing continent.

3.Enchant迷惑；使着迷
4.Firebrand 煽动分子
5.Centrist 中间派的
6.Neophyte 新手
7.Revive 复兴
