By Elizabeth A. Harris, Alexandra Alter When American presidents leave office, regardless of their parties or approval ratings, a common ritual awaits: They write books, capturing the moment for history and sharing insight into one of the world’s most unusual jobs. But publishers are at odds over such a project with President Trump, even though his presidential memoir would likely sell millions of copies. It is a debate that pits powerful commercial interests against fraught political and cultural fault lines. Sales and profits this time around stand to be huge. Mr. Trump was defeated in the 2020 election but still has a megaphone on social media and holds sway with many conservative media outlets, which will give him a platform to promote his book even when he is out of office. But the risks this time are different, too. Several top executives said that publishing Mr. Trump could be perilous in a polarized media environment and that the possibilities of boycotts, libel lawsuits and social media campaigns outweighed the obvious financial benefits. Another possibility is that Mr. Trump could self-publish a book and bypass the houses entirely. Given the number of books Mr. Trump is likely to sell, retaining complete control of a book’s content and message is likely to be an appealing proposition. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.memoir [?memwɑ?r] n. ______________________________ 2.sell [sel] vi. ____________________________ 3.publisher [?p?bl???] n. ____________________________ 4.ritual [?r?t?u?l] n.____________________________ 5.await [??we?t] vt. ____________________________ 6.capture [?k?pt??] vt. ____________________________ 7.insight [??nsa?t] n. ____________________________ 8.pit [p?t] v. ____________________________ n. ____________________________ 9.fraught [fr??t] adj. _
