In choosing Judge Barrett to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the president opted for the candidate most likely to thrill his conservative base and outrage his liberal opponents, drawing sharp lines on some of the most divisive disputes in American life like abortion, religion, guns and health care at a time when voters have already begun to cast ballots in the contest for the White House.

第一句：

In choosing Judge Barrett to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the president opted for the candidate most likely to thrill his conservative base and outrage his liberal opponents, drawing sharp lines on some of the most divisive disputes in American life like abortion, religion, guns and health care at a time when voters have already begun to cast ballots in the contest for the White House.

参考译文：总统选择由巴雷特法官填补金斯伯格法官的席位，就是选择了最有可能振奋保守派基层且激怒自由派反对者的候选人，同时在选民已经开始为白宫的竞争(美国总统大选)投票之时，就美国生活中一些分歧最 大的争端上划出了鲜明的界线，例如堕胎、宗教、枪支和医保。

第二句：

Never in American history has a Supreme Court confirmation fight played out to a conclusion so close to a presidential election, and the confluence of the debate in the halls of the Senate with the debate on the campaign trail injected further uncertainty into the fall.

参考译文：在美国历史上，最 高法院大法官确认从来没有在如此临近大选结束时展开，参议院各会议厅的辩论与竞选路线上的辩论声响交汇，为这个秋天又平添了诸多不确定性。

思考题解析：

A. a bi-partisan candidate

(一位两党都支持的候选人)

这个是一个特朗普提名的，共和党支持的，民主党会反对的候选人。

重点词汇是:bi-partisan(涉及两党的或者两党都会支持的)

这个单词不是大纲词汇，但是在考研真题中出现过，所以需要关注。

A选项错误。

B. an influential liberal

(一位有影响力的自由派)

她是特朗普提名会让自由派愤怒的所以她不是自由派的人士。

B选项错误。

C. a hardline conservative

(一位坚定的保守派)

对她是特朗普提名的，体现了特朗普保守主义意志的人。

所以肯定是保守派，而且如果今年真考到这个人，

一定要知道她就是保守派

C选项正确。

D. a thrilling public figure

(一位令人激动的公众人物)

没有提及，

文中只是说特朗普的提名会让自己的阵营士气大振。

D选项错误。
