And it is now Delhi, India’s capital, that cooks up the thickest and smokiest of those fogs that London once made.

文章第二段：

So Theresa May discovered as she arrived on November 6th, into a haze unusually acrid even for the world’s most polluted big city ...  But even Delhi’s smog could not obscure some hard truths.

文章结尾：

The air cleared as Mrs May headed to Bangalore, India’s tech capital, for visits to a factory and to a Hindu temple ... Yet the promises of future co-operation were just as thin .

通过 fog, haze, smog, obscure, air, thin 这一系列单词将全文连接起来，使文章形成一个整体。中间的两个动词 obscure 以及 thin 也用得极好，它们既写出了印度空气的特点，也隐喻了当前会谈的政治环境。

2.sea power

下面这个句子同样跟英国有关：

That long-awaited announcement will promote future marine-energy plans in Britain, says Jonathan Marshall of the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, a think-tank. Later this year Edinburgh-based Atlantis Resources hopes to connect the world’s largest tidal power scheme to the grid for the first time. Who says British sea power is in decline?

文章的主题是英国近年来加大了对海洋能源的开发，一系列能源项目纷纷上马。作者在文章最后发出了这样的感慨：Who says British sea power is in decline?  这里一语双关，British sea power 本义是指英国海军实力（大不列颠帝国的海军实力曾经世界第一），这里巧妙化用为英国的海上能源开发实力，有理有据，让人会心一笑。
