A tree gifted to President Donald Trump by French President Emmanuel Macron has disappeared from the White House lawn.
The pair planted the sapling, taken from the site of a World War One battle in north-east France, last week.
Mr Macron said the tree would be a reminder of "these ties that bind us".
But a Reuters photographer on Saturday took a shot of only a yellow patch of grass where the tree once stood. The French ambassador to the US later tweeted the sapling was in quarantine.
gift: 赠送；礼物；天赋
sapling: 树苗
reminder: 提醒；记忆
bind: 团结；捆绑
patch: 一块儿
ambassador: 大使
quarantine: 隔离

什么是暴虐版？
暴虐版语音是夏老师以意群为单位进行语音示范。
1. 每个意群示范7遍
2. 在每次语音示范后，会留出足够的空白时间供各位进行跟读和练习。
暴虐版使用方法：
1. 小伙伴们需要先掌握生词的发音方式和规律（练习耗时，因人而异）
2. 再通过先单词后意群的方式跟随暴虐版进行练习
3. 通过反复的朗读，让口腔肌肉熟悉且记住意群的流利和滑动感，不断提升自己语音语调，连读技巧，意群的把握。
