标题：Mark Carney shows middle powers how to handle a dangerous world

Canada is standing up to a bullying America

正文：Entitled Canada has been feeding off America for decades. Like a parasitic bug, it enjoys the benefits of being America’s cherished 51st state without giving anything back. Canadians know they couldn’t live without America’s protection, yet their ungrateful prime minister, Mark Carney, refuses to defer to the great and beautiful country over the border.

知识点：【entitled】 /ɪnˈtaɪtld/ adj.

英文释义：Believing that you deserve special treatment or have the right to something, without having earned it.（认为自己理应受到特殊对待、理应得到某物，而其实并未挣得。）

本义：en-（使）+ title（头衔）→ “使自己觉得有资格”，在英语中几乎总是贬义。

本文特指：entitled Canada 模仿特朗普口吻：加拿大"自以为应得、理直气壮地占美国便宜"。

核心搭配：an entitled attitude、entitled mentality、feel entitled to sth

·He sounds so entitled.他听起来一副全世界欠他的样子。
