1. bet 打赌
get a glimpse at 一撇
ugly 丑陋的
新闻原句：Investors on Monday bet the United States and China would reach a trade resolution. But if the countries fail to come up with a deal, we got a glimpse at what could happen — and it could be ugly.
新闻翻译：周一，投资者打赌称中美可能将达成一项贸易决议，但如果达不成决议呢，让我们推测下可能发生的事情吧，想想都觉得可怕。
说说：这么严肃的吵架问题却用了一些特别“轻松”的词汇，彷佛我们面对的是幼儿园两个小朋友对一款玩具的争执。
2. Be careful what you wish for 你确定没有走错路吧？
新闻原句：The Monday morning plunge should send a message to Trump: Be careful what you wish for, Mr. President.
新闻翻译：周一早上股市的暴跌应该很可以向特朗普同志说明一个问题了：总统先生，你确定没有走错路吧？
说说：我似乎看到了原文作者严肃的神情，思前想后，翻译成了“总统先生，你确定没有走错路吧？” 其实很想写“你没吃错药吧”。
3. kick n.反击
新闻原句：Trump has frequently called on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates now in order to boost the economy and the stock market — a kick many experts don't think is necessary.
新闻翻译：现今特朗普三番五次呼吁美联储降低利率以提振经济和股市，但许多专家却认为没必要这么做。
说说：我似乎看到了守门员大力开球的场面。
4. It's hard to read this president. 越来越读不懂我们这位总统了。
说说：原来中英文在“读不懂”上能相通。
5. decipher [dɪ'saɪfə] v.破译
新闻原句："The challenge for investors is deciphering whether this another bluff by the president, an attempt to lower expectations in order to provide an upside surprise or actually a potential breakdown of the trade negotiations and an escalation of the trade war," wrote Mike O'Rourke.
新闻翻译：Mike O'Rourke写道：“投资者所面临的挑战在于甄别，甄别出总统这次的虚张声势是试图降低预期酝酿一个大惊喜，还是有可能导致贸易谈判破裂、贸易争升级。”
说说：我似乎看到了一群侦探在埋头苦读。
