特朗普周一说他入主白宫的第一天就要从TPP协议退出。请看本报昨日的报道：

    Donald Trump said Monday the United States would signal its withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact on his first day in the White House, one of six immediate steps aimed at “putting America first.”

    The Republican billionaire — who for 10 days has been sounding out cabinet picks at his Trump Tower offices in New York — made the pledge in a short video message.

    报道中的sound out就是“小心试探别人的想

    法”。例如：

    I don’t know what Jane thinks about your suggestion, but I’ll sound her out.

    我不知道简对你的建议有什么看法，不过我会想法弄明白。
