  6. It is unreasonable to think that she would be able to administer fair and impartial justice to our communities if she can’t even accept our basic humanity and dignity.

解释:

  1. Impartial这个单词为形容词,其表示“free from bias showing lack of favoritism”这一含义,即“公正的/公平的/中立的/无偏见的”,与unbiased /fair /unprejudiced /objective等单词构成近义词。另外,该单词为partial(有偏见的/不公正的/有偏好的)的反义词。

  2. 该单词在日常使用中较为广泛,比如最近正在如火如荼进行的FIFA世界杯,我们可以看到如下的说法:The FIFA organizing committee said all referees will be impartial on the participating teams, and there is zero toleration to partial favoritism toward any team.(国际足联组委会表示,所有裁判都将对参赛球队保持公正,对任何球队的部分偏袒都是零容忍的。)

  3. 另外,现如今网络发达,人们希望在社交空间中就时事热点进行讨论,不过越来越多的人发现他们很难对一件事进行公正评价,因为会出现大量不理性的声音影响自己的判断。我们可以这样讲:Nowadays, people find it is extremely hard to have an impartial analysis of trending topics on the internet because tons of irrational opinions interfere with their judgement.(如今,人们发现很难对互联网上的热门话题进行公正的分析,因为大量的非理性意见会干扰他们的判断。)
