    鲍里斯·约翰逊是个英国版<s style="background-color: rgb(102, 185, 102);">本</s>的特朗普吗？

    约翰逊于7月23日当选英国保守党党魁，并<s style="background-color: rgb(102, 185, 102);">由此</s>出任英国新一任首相。他在英国算是一个政客明星。他<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">的</s>不修边幅的样子<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">，</s>和一头乱糟糟的金发已经成为他标志性的特征，很难忘记。他也很幽默，喜欢开玩笑，词库丰富，说话很有创意，甚至有时会创造自己的词与说法（这一点让我<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">可怜</s>同情陪他出国访问的翻译）。<s style="background-color: rgb(102, 185, 102);">说到</s>提到别的政客与领导的时候，我们都用<s style="background-color: rgb(102, 185, 102);">其姓</s>姓氏称呼他们，比如前任首相<s style="background-color: rgb(102, 185, 102);">被称呼</s>梅与卡梅伦<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">，</s>。不过约翰逊不一样<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">。</s>，大家都用他的名字，鲍里斯，来称呼他 （不过鲍里斯·约翰逊不一样，大家都用他的名字来称呼他）。自他成为特雷萨·梅的继任之后，有些人声称他是英国版的特朗普。那些人为何这么说？这个观点是否属实？
    第一句话中，“并由此出任......”可以省略“由此”。我猜你用“由此”这个词是想表达英国议会多数党党魁通常自动成为首相。但是对于不了解英国政治系统的人来说，他们不懂这里面的逻辑关系，“由此”这个词就会造成困惑。我建议可以直接删去“由此”。
    “可怜”和“同情”这两个词细微的区别，“同情”用在这里会更合适。
    Well, Clinton is also frequently referred to as "Hillary". But yeah I know what you mean. Boris Johnson's case is obviously different from Clinton's. Referring to women by their first names and men by their last names is more of a form of gender discrimination than a campaign strategy.

    这两位领导确实有相同的地方。他们都是在纽约出生的。特朗普的母亲是英国人，约翰逊也有美国的血统。两个人都有很特别的金发发型。他们<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">的</s>2016年的政治成就震撼了他们国家的精英圈。那年6月份，约翰逊<s style="background-color: rgb(102, 185, 102);">的</s>所在的脱欧阵营在英国的脱欧公投中取得了胜利。几个月之后，特朗普出乎意料地战胜了一度被看好的对手希拉里，当选了美国总统。一般来说，西方国家的选举只是改头换面罢了，不会<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">使得</s>导致什么实际的大变化（实质性的变化）。可是约翰逊的脱欧政策与特朗普的“让美国再次伟大”的政策不一样。其国（两国）的精英圈，包括主流媒体和传统政坛，认为他们的政策将会颠覆其国（本国）的制度，也会威胁到他们的利益。

    <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">不过，</s>尽管约翰逊与特朗普有些相同的地方，但是他们有更多的区别。在出任<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">其国家的领导地位</s>国家领导之前，他们已经有名，可是他们的生涯很不一样。特朗普原来是一个开发商，一个房地产的寡头，也当过一个电视节目的主持人。作为一个纽约富翁，他有很多机会跟各种各样的政客接触，但是对政坛来说他是个外行，一点政治经验都没有。约翰逊恰恰相反。他的政治经验丰富多了。他当过国会议员，伦敦市长<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">，</s>和外交部大臣（Oxford comma is not a thing in Chinese. In Chinese, comma equals "and". Therefore, using an Oxford comma is like saying "and and"）。他们跟主流媒体的关系也截然不同。特朗普天天吐槽美国主流媒体，谴责<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">CCN</s>CNN是“假新闻”，而且给纽约时报一个绰号，就是“正在失败着的纽约时报”(而且还给纽约时报起了一个绰号叫“正在失败着的纽约时报/走下坡路的纽约时报”)。虽然约翰逊有不支持他的报纸和电视台（虽然约翰逊也有不喜欢的报纸和电视台），但他跟主流媒体的关系没有特朗普那么紧张。毕竟<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">，</s>他一度当过报纸的记者和专栏作家。
    “他当过国会议员，伦敦市长<s style="background-color: rgb(204, 224, 245);">，</s>和外交部大臣”. Oxford comma is not a thing in Chinese. In Chinese, comma equals "and". Therefore, using the Oxford comma is like saying "and and". Directly translating present continuous tense as "正在....着的...." seems a bit awkward, as it's not commonly used in Chinese. I couldn't find the translation of "The failing New York Times" in mainstream Chinese media. But I think "走下坡路的纽约时报" might be an alternative translation. "虽然约翰逊有不支持他的报纸和电台" is also a bit awkward. If you are trying to do a parallel structure between Trump and Johnson, like "Trump hates CNN and NYT and Johnson also has media he dislikes", maybe you can try "虽然约翰逊也有不喜欢的报纸和电视台"。

    他们的外交方式和对国际关系的观点也有所分歧。特朗普偏向于单边主义，约翰逊反而倾向于多边主义。这也许跟美国和英国的<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">国庆</s>国情有关。毕竟，美国的<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">权利</s>权力比英国大得多，(因此)在国际的舞台上能横行霸道。（而）英国<s style="background-color: rgb(102, 185, 102);">反而要</s>（则需要）找别的国家合作。另外，约翰逊很拥护自由贸易。
    权力 = power, 权利 = rights

    特朗普与约翰逊两个人都快要（即将）面临可能会导致他们下台的挑战。约翰逊承诺无论有没有跟欧盟达成协议，他十月份都将让英国脱欧。这个政策激怒了反对脱欧的政客和媒体<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">。</s>，国会议员们可能会把他推翻。而特朗普明年要参加大选<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">。</s>，能否取得胜利很不确定。无论怎么看<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">着</s>这两个很有特色的领袖，连反对他们的人不能否认，有他们在，政治世界就更有趣（不管怎么说，这两个很有特色的领袖使政治变得很有趣，这一点就连反对他们的人也不能否认）(I'm a politial scientist whose livelihood depends on interesting political phenomena. But if I had to choose between boring politics and Trump, I would always choose boring politics lol. )。

    你的文章写得很好，就算不修改我也可以完全读懂。但我想你现在更需要的已经不是基本语法和词汇方面的帮助，而是更进阶的写作建议。所以我不仅改了语法和词汇，也改了标点符号和一些虽然语法上没问题但不是很地道的句子。希望能对你有帮助。如果你有问题，或者想深入讨论这篇文章，欢迎给我发信息。Your essay is excellent. I could completely understand it without any correction. However, I think you might need more advanced suggestions than basic grammer and vocabulary. So I made changes on punctuations as well as the grammatical yet not quite authentic sentences. I hope this could help. If you have questions or want to further discuss this essay, please feel free to message me.

    作为一名政治学家，看着Johnson, Trump, Xi, and Putin这些人当国家乃至世界领袖实在是太令人沮丧了。 Johnson一直在试图阻止留欧派议员反击，现在看来很有可能最后会变成无协议脱欧。我并不是专攻英国政治的，但是我觉着Johnson试图缩短国会对无协议脱欧提出反对的时间是违宪的。
    As a political scientist, it is so depressing to see people like Johnson, Trump, Xi, and Putin are running the world. With Johnson trying to stifle Brexit opposition, a no-deal Brexit seems very likely. British politics is not my field of expertise, but Johnson's move to cut short the time Parliament has to prevent no-deal Brexit seems unconstitutional.

    中国西藏旅游

    最近一个中国朋友去过西藏，然后发给我有些照片。
    最近一个中国朋友去了西藏，然后发给我一些照片。
    "过" is more like s/he has been to Tibet: "你去过西藏吗？Have you been to Tibet (ever) ?"“我去过西藏 Yes, I have”
    “了” refers to a more recent event. "她/他最近去了西藏 S/He went to Tibet (recently)"
    ”有些“ = ”some (certain)“, "一些" = "some(several)"

    我觉得这些拍照非常漂亮。
    我觉得这些照片非常漂亮。
    "拍照" is an action (taking photos) and cannot be described as "非常漂亮". "非常漂亮" describes nouns such as"照片"

    西藏的自然非常好看，有很多湖和世界最高的山。
    西藏的自然风景/风光非常好看，那里有很多湖和世界最高的山。

    在那里空气很新鲜，和大部分的人很友善。

    因为那里的海拔很高，我觉得旅游的人可以有问题。
    因为那里的海拔很高，我觉得旅游的人可能遇到困难/可能遇到问题/可能会有高原反应。
    “旅游的人可以有问题” is more like "tourists can(are allowed to) have problems". I assume you meant "tourists might run into problems such as altitude sickness". "可能遇到苦难/问题，might have obstacles/problems". Or you could directly say "可能会有高原反应 might have altitude sickness".
    Or, maybe I misunderstood and you meant "the tourists who chose to go to Tibet are crazy". In this case, it's "旅游的人可能（脑子）有问题"


    人也当然需要多喝水和用防水油。 去那里也不方便和不便宜。
    (在西藏)人<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">也当然</s>需要多喝水，多用防晒霜。 去那里既不方便也不便宜。
    I assumed you meant sunscreen instead of "防水油" (unless you meant something to waterproof the roof....?). Sunscreen is "防晒霜". "防晒油" is ok as well. But I think the former is more commonly used. It's probably a good idea to add "in Tibet" or "在那里 there" so the essay flows better. "既不...也不..." is "neither...nor..."，a pretty useful phrase. Similarly, "既...又..." is "not only...but also"/"...and...". For instance, "去那里既便宜又方便 It's not only cheap, but also convenient to go there."

    你去了这个地方吗？ 你建议去那里旅游吗？
    你去过这个地方吗？ 你建议去那里旅游吗？
    Please see my comment on "了“ and ”过“ above


    Your essay looks great overall. Great job! There's no major issue with this essay. If I were just reading it for information/communication instead of trying to help with the language, I could completely understand what you meant. In terms of learning the language, "过" vs ”了“， ”一些“ vs ”有些“， ”可能“ vs ”可以“， and ”既不...也不...“ are pretty useful.

    是的，我去过西藏。西藏很酷。至少20岁的我认为西藏特别赞。但出行之前一定要去travel clinic/医院开药。如果你有健身的习惯，出行前两周要停止健身。相信我，这是我惨痛的教训。在我去秘鲁Cusco旅行之前，我懒得去travel clinic/医院，所以决定在当地的一家”药店“买”高原反应药“ （结果那其实是泰诺和阿司匹林）而且我当时特别喜欢综合格斗术, 所以我直到上飞机之前每天都训练。长话短说，我高原反应特别严重。

    Yes, I've been to Tibet. It was really cool. At least 20-year-old me thought it was awesome . But make sure to go to a travel clinic and get proper medication (like Acetazolamide) prior to your trip. (I don't think travel clinic is a thing in China. If you are in China, then go to a hospital). If you work out regularly, make sure to stop working out two weeks in advance. Trust me, I learnt this the hard way. Before my trip to Cusco two years ago, I was too lazy too schedule an appointment at my travel clinic and decided to buy "altitude medication" at a local "pharmacy" (it turned out to be tylenol and aspirin) . Also, I was really into MMA at the time. So I trained everyday until I got on the plane. Long story short, altitude sickness hit me like a ton of bricks......

    "我爱喜你" is not correct. It's not a sentence. "我爱你" is the right way to say "I love you" not quite sure why they translate the same. Guess google translate could use an update on its algorithm. If by "我爱喜你" you meant "我喜欢你", then it means "I like you". But "我喜欢你" is usually more romantic than "I like you" in English. Like "我爱你"， “我喜欢你” is also used to confess love. In fact, "我喜欢你" is a more commonly used love confession than "我爱你", which is used more in established relationships.

    "一下子 (一下)" has multiple meanings "子" can be omitted. "一下子"/"一下"， either is fine 1. in one go/all at once e.g. She got the answer to the riddle in one go 她一下(子)就猜中了（谜语的）谜底 this meaning of "一下子" emphasizes on doing something quickly, effortlessly, and successfully 2. in a short while/for a little bit (time wise) e.g. Wait up! 等一下（子）！ e.g. She paused (for a bit) before going back to work 她停顿了一下(子），才继续工作。 3. all of a sudden e.g. She suddenly sat up. 她一下(子)坐了起来

    我住了在中国很长时间(我在中国住了很长时间)， 所以我知道本国家（这个国家）有很多好处。不过我从来没有懂（都不懂）为什么在上学校时候下（上学的时候/在学校的时候），老师要求孩子们学那么多。 我知道中国学校竞争挺高（激烈），但是无论孩子们多少学习他们都就是孩子们。负担这个压力并不健康。（但是无论如何，他们只是孩子，让他们负担过重/压力过大并不健康）【I'm not quite sure what you want to say here. If you don't mind, could you write the last two sentences in English?】
