每天一句：2015考研英语第二百三十二句? 都知道美国最高法院有九个大法官，今天经济学人的一篇文章给出了这样有意思的开头： THE Nine, in J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings”, are fearsomely powerful black-robed characters who serve the Dark Lord. In Washington, DC 指环王里面有九个为暗黑领主服务的九个令人生畏，法力无边黑袍护法。 在华盛顿特区也有九个为法律服务的九位黑袍大法官。 今年，这些法官不仅要决定美国的同性恋是否合法，而且也会为一些奇葩的案件作出判决，下面这个案例就很有意思，大家来看看哦： On October 7th the court will hear Holt v Hobbs, which concerns a prisoner called Gregory Holt, who slit his girlfriend’s throat and threatened to kidnap President George W. Bush’s daughters. As a Muslim, Mr Holt says he is obliged to grow a beard, but Arkansas prison rules forbid it. His lawyers cite a law that bars prisons from substantially burdening inmates’ religious liberty without a compelling reason to do so. Arkansas retorts that facial hair poses a security risk: even a short beard can hide “needles, home-made darts, pieces of broken razors, drugs, and SIM cards”. 词汇突破：slit 撕开 ? ? ? ? ? Muslim 穆斯林 ? ? ? ? ? Inmate=prisoner ? ? ? ? ? compelling reason 无法驳倒的原因；令人信服的原因 ? ? ? ? ? bar v.禁止，阻止 ? ? ? ? ? burden v. 使…苦恼，使…成为负担，这里可以理解为限制 ?看懂了吧，就为了胡子这点事，这戏也是做足了，所以别人的价值观的欺骗性也非一般人能看的透啊。程序的公证让你无话可说啊。
