The Wall Street Journal:

When Facebook Inc. Chief Executive MarkZuckerberg delivered a speech about freedom of expression in Washington, D.C.,last fall, there was also another agenda: to raise the alarm about the threatfrom Chinese tech companies and, more specifically, the popular video-sharingapp TikTok.

Tucked into the speech was a linepointing to Facebook’s rising rival: Mr. Zuckerberg told Georgetown studentsthat TikTok doesn’t share Facebook’s commitment to freedom of expression, andrepresents a risk to American values and technological supremacy.

That was a message Mr. Zuckerberghammered behind the scenes in meetings with officials and lawmakers during theOctober trip and a separate visit to Washington weeks earlier, according topeople familiar with the matter.

In a private dinner at the White Housein late October, Mr. Zuckerberg made the case to President Trump that the riseof Chinese internet companies threatens American business, and should be abigger concern than reining in Facebook, some of the people said.

epic [ˈepɪk]
可以作形容词表示“史诗般的”，这里作名词指“史诗级的电影；史诗大片”。 

on course to [ɑːn kɔːrs tu] 
在去往…的路上；引申出去表示：即将成为…；即将能够做到…。

blockbuster [ˈblɑːkbʌstər] 
原本指二战期间能摧毁（bust）整个街区（block）的炸弹。后来引申出去可用来指票房上威力巨大的电影，即“大片”。

much-anticipated [mʌtʃ ænˈtɪsɪpeɪtɪd]
万众期待的

title [ˈtaɪtl]
这里字面意思指电影的“标题”，在文章上下文都交代清楚的情况下，可以直接用title来指代这部电影本身。

Dwayne Johnson, the wrestler turned actor formerly known as the Rock, has again topped Forbes’s list of the highest-paid actors having made an estimated $87.5m in the fiscal year ending June 2020.
