介绍:
It was a battle between the lawyer and the salesman, and for the most part the lawyer came out on top. It may be hard to remember, but before Mrs Clinton was a secretary of state, or a senator or a first lady, she was a lawyer - and, by all regards, a talented one.
senator /&`&senətə/ n. 参议院
talented /ˈtæləntid/ a. 有才的，多才的
And after all these years, she still campaigns like one. Meticulous, cautious, controlled. What works in the courtroom, with its rules and customs, often doesn&`&t fly in free-wheeling political debates, however.
meticulous /mɪ’tɪkjʊləs/ a. 极仔细的，一丝不苟的
cautious /&`&kɔːʃəs/ a. 小心谨慎的
courtroom /‘kɔːtruːm/ n. 法庭
Mr Trump, on the other hand, is the consummate salesman. Rules, tradition, even the truth are only relevant in so much as they help seal the deal.
consummate /&`&kɒnsjʊmeɪt/ a. 完美的
seal /siːl/ v. 封印，盖章
The weakness of this approach is the perception that the salesman is all talk and no substance - a problem that can be exacerbated by 90 minutes under the debate spotlights.
In the end, the lawyerly preparations paid off for Mrs Clinton, as she controlled the evening with forensic precision.
exacerbate /ɪg&`&zæsəbeɪt/ v. 使恶化，加重
forensic /fɔ&`&rensik/ a. 法院的，辩论的
precision /prɪ&`&sɪʒ(ə)n/ n. 精确，准确度
