2023考研英语每日一句(20)

句子：

The essence of the supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which established a woman’s right to an abortion, was to balance a pregnant woman’s constitutional right to privacy with the hypothetical rights of a fetus that at some point might be considered a person, even while inside the womb. The Court’s compromise was to confer those hypothetical rights on a fetus when it reaches the 28th week of pregnancy. That threshold wasn’t arbitrary; it was based on the state of medical science at the time.

思考题：

The Roe v. Wade decision________.

A. has outlawed abortion in the U.S.

B. fails to recognize rights of a fetus

C. supported woman’s privacy right

D. was not based on modern science

词汇:

abortion：堕胎

constitutional right：宪法权力

privacy：隐私

hypothetical rights：假定权力

fetus：胎儿

womb：子宫

compromise：妥协

threshold：门槛，标准

arbitrary：随意的

句子解析：

1.The essence of the supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which established a woman’s right to an abortion, was to balance a pregnant woman’s constitutional right to privacy with the hypothetical rights of a fetus // that at some point might be considered a person, even while inside the womb.

参考译文：最高法院1973年的“罗诉韦德案”裁决确立了妇女的堕胎权，其实质是平衡宪法支持的孕妇隐私权与胎儿在某个时刻——甚至在子宫内时——可能被视为个人的假定权利。

2.The Court’s compromise was to confer those hypothetical rights on a fetus when it reaches the 28th week of pregnancy.

参考译文：法院达成的妥协是在孕28周时赋予胎儿这些假定权利。

3.That threshold wasn’t arbitrary; it was based on the state of medical science at the time.

参考译文：这个标准并不是任意的，而是基于当时的医学水平。

思考题解析：C选项我改了一下，原来的C也对。

The Roe v. Wade decision________.

罗诉韦德案的决定______.

A. has outlawed abortion in the U.S.

(令在美国堕胎成为非法)

没有提及

A选项错误。

B. fails to recognize rights of a fetus

(不承认胎儿的权利)

不是不承认，只是定了28周后才有权利。

B选项错误。

C. strikes the balance between rights

(维持权力的平衡)

原文这样说道：

其实质是平衡宪法支持的孕妇隐私权与胎儿在某个时刻——甚至在子宫内时——可能被视为个人的假定权利。

你应该不知道strikes the balance 是：保持平衡和取得平衡的意思。

C选项正确。

D. was not based on modern science

(不以现代科学为基础)

以当时的现代科学为基础。

D选项错误。
