[打卡] 特朗普被起诉，为竞选添一把火！

今天的外刊金句来自《经济学人》“特朗普被起诉”的文章，对于奇人川普而言，被起诉反而会被策划成一起对自己有利的事件，来看：

For another politician it would signal the end of a political career. In Mr Trump’s case, the question is to what extent a prosecution will act as fuel for a movement that seemed to be flagging.

词/短语：

1. signal: vt.意味着

2. to what extent: 到何种程度

3. prosecution: n.诉讼

4. act as: 起到...的作用

5. fuel: n.燃料

6. flag: vi.疲乏；变弱；衰减

语法：

the question（主） is（系） {to what extent a prosecution will act as fuel [for a movement <that seemed to be flagging>（定语从句）]（状语）}（表语从句）.

译：对于其他政治家来说，被起诉意味着政治生涯的终结。但对特朗普，问题在于，起诉会为他那日渐式微的竞选活动添多大一把火。
