　　2017考研英语拓展阅读：特朗普真能把希拉里送进监狱？

　　There were plenty to pick from, but arguably the most shocking moment in Sunday night’s presidential debate came when Donald Trump responded to Hillary Clinton’s statement that it was just as well her opponent was not in charge of the law.

　　星期天晚上的总统大选辩论，有很多可圈可点的地方，但是最让人震惊的言论，出于特朗普对希拉里关于特朗普不执法言论的回应。

　　“Because you’d be in jail,” retorted Trump, who had also just said that, if elected, he would instruct his attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

　　特朗普反驳道：“因为你会入狱。”他还说，如果他当选总统，他会命令自己的首席检察官任命一个特别检察官，调查希拉里在担任国务卿期间，使用的私人邮件服务器。

　　Eric Holder, the former attorney general, tweeted: “Be afraid of any candidate who says he will order DOJ/FBI to act on his command This is dangerous/so is@realDonaldTrump – he’s not qualified.”

　　前首席检察官埃里克.霍尔德发文说：“任何说要命令FBI/DOJ行使他命令的候选人，都令人可怕，这很危险@特朗普-他没有这个资格。”

　　He added: “In the USA we do not threaten to jail political opponents.@realDonaldTrump said he would. He is promising to abuse the power of the office.”

　　他补充道：“在美国，我们从不威胁政治对手入狱。@特朗普。他正在承诺滥用办公室权利。”

　　Others compared Trump to dictators such as Uganda’s Idi Amin.

　　其他人把特朗普和乌干达独裁者伊迪阿明做比较。

　　Chants of “Lock her up” are a regular feature of Trump’s rallies, but on Monday his campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, claimed that the threat “was a quip” and that he was “channeling the frustration of thousands of voters he hears every day”. Legal experts argued that, even in the increasingly unlikely event of a Trump presidency, the odds of Clinton being put behind bars are “infinitesimally small” in a constitutional democracy born out of revolution against the absolute power of monarchs.

　　“让她入狱”的唱词是特朗普集会的惯常特色标语，但是周一，特朗普竞选经理凯莉安.康威声称，这种威胁不过是一种“嘲弄”，他不过是在疏导每天成千上万的投票者的失望。法律专家争辩道，即便特朗普成为总统的可能性越来越小，让克林顿入狱的几率都微乎其微，因为宪政民主起源于反抗绝对独裁的革命。

　　Henry Chambers, a professor at the University of Richmond’s school of law, said: “He could start the ball rolling by suggesting to the Department of Justice that it start an investigation, but even then it’s kind of nuts. The idea that he could decide on his own, ‘I will put Hillary Clinton in jail,’ is bizarre squared. He himself would be threatened with impeachment.”

　　里士满大学法学院教授亨利.钱伯斯说：“他可以先建议司法部门开始调查，但即便这样也是满口胡言。那种他可以自己决定司法的观念，”我会让希拉里入狱”的想法，只是一种怪异的夸张。他有受到控告的威胁。”

　　Chambers said he was not unduly concerned by the Republican candidate’s remarks, in part because he felt Trump was highly unlikely to win. “I still trust in America and I still trust that even a guy like Rudy Giuliani still believes in proper behaviour and if there’s nothing there, they’re not going after her, even if she’s Hillary Clinton. I still believe that at the end of the day we’re a government of laws, not a government of men.”

　　钱伯斯说，他并不过分担心共和党候选人的言论，这部分由于他觉得特朗普很可能不会赢。“我仍然信任美国，我仍然相信，即便是鲁迪.朱利安那样的人，都相信正当的行为举止。如果没有这些，他们不会追随她，即便她是希拉里。我仍然相信，总有一天，我们是一个法治政府，而不是人治政府。”
