Bur­ied in Don­ald Trump’s “big, beau­ti­ful bill” was a pro­vi­sion that will give tech­no­logy group Anduril an almost-guar­an­teed slice of the roughly $300bn ear­marked to mod­ern­ise the US’s mil­it­ary, defence infra­struc­ture and home­land secur­ity.The legis­la­tion provides for a $6bn expan­sion of bor­der secur­ity tech­no­logy, a chunk of which will be spent on autonom­ous sur­veil­lance towers — for which the Cali­for­nian com­pany is the only approved sup­plier.Anduril — co-foun­ded by Palmer Luckey and backed by Peter Thiel, two bil­lion­aires who have strongly sup­por­ted the pres­id­ent — is among the most prom­in­ent tech com­pan­ies set to profit from Trump’s flag­ship tax and spend­ing legis­la­tion.Another win­ner is likely to be Palantir, the data intel­li­gence group cofoun­ded by Thiel. Rid­ing on their coat­tails is a pack of smal­ler, often Thiel­backed insur­gents, com­pet­ing with tra­di­tional defence con­tract­ors in a race to cap­ture this influx of cash.“With the lead­er­ship in the Pentagon now, [there is] a real will­ing­ness to sup­port industry, to sup­port the defence sec­tor, and to work with non-tra­di­tional . . . com­pan­ies,” said Chris­tian Gar­rett, a part­ner at 137 Ven­tures, which has inves­ted in Anduril, Palantir and Elon Musk’s SpaceX. earmarked� 指定用途的；划拨的（通常为资金、资源等）（形容词 / 动词过去分词）表示某物（通常是钱或资源）被专门预留给某个特定目的。例句：The government earmarked £10 million for education reform.（政府划拨了一千万英镑用于教育改革。） coattails� （比喻）某人的影响力、光环效应（原意为“燕尾服的后摆”）常用于表达某人“借着他人的成功或权势上位”的意思。常见搭配：ride on sb’s coattails例句：Several junior politicians rode on the president’s coattails to win seats in parliament.（几位年轻政客靠总统的光环赢得了议会席位。） insurgents� 叛乱分子；起义者；反叛武装（名词，常用复数）指对现政权或主流权威进行武装反抗的人或组织。例句：The army was sent in to suppress the insurgents.（军队被派去镇压叛乱分子。） influx� 大量涌入（人、资金、资源等）（名词）常用于描述人口、资金、游客等的突然大量到来。例句：The city saw an influx of tourists during the summer.（夏天这个城市迎来了游客的涌入。）An influx of foreign capital boosted the local economy.（外国资本的大量流入促进了当地经济。）
