今天的句子：

美国现任财长斯蒂芬·努钦毫无从政经验，曾在高盛工作17年，离开高盛后成为影视投资人，许多媒体都认为他最坚实的任职资格就是“最早掏钱支持特朗普的华尔街银行家”。在他的支持下，美国的经济政策越来越偏离保守党的正统信念，比如低赤字、低通胀，相反政府的态度是，让经济发热运转，对劳动力供求失衡视而不见。最近的米尔肯全球会议上，财经记者玛丽亚·巴蒂洛摩问他如何看待目前的劳动力紧缺危机时，他的回答出人意表，让记者半天没反应过来。他说，哪有什么劳动力紧缺，我认识的企业领导都没这么说。财长和总统真是风格一致。

In deed if not in word, the Trump administration has abandoned central tenets of conservative economic orthodoxy, a commitment to austerity and ultra-low inflation foremost among them. The passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was followed not by deep cuts in safety-net spending, as partisans of small government might have hoped, but rather by an omnibus spending bill that dynamited the sequestration caps dreamed up by self-professed GOP deficit hawks.

3. that dynamited the sequestration caps dreamed up by self-professed GOP deficit hawks.

定语从句

参考译文：减税就业法案的通过并没有像小政府的拥趸可能期望的那样，由社会保障支出的大幅下降跟上，反而是接上了一个综合支出法案，炸飞了自称保守党赤字鹰派的那些人想出的抵押限额。（是不是中文都看不懂，哈哈，听语音吧。可能我能讲懂。）

思考题：

Self-professed GOP deficit hawks proposed the sequestration caps.

是的dream up= propose;

只不过感情色彩这两个词不太一样。

我说：Aman dreams up an idea. (那我是不认同他的想法的)

我说  Aman proposes an idea (那我是没有态度的，只是客观表述而已)

所以这个表述也是正确的。

不要说单词不认识。超纲词只有一个，而且不影响你做题。冷静！思考！

明天的句子：

This is true up and down the list: Vowels accounted for at least half of the letters in all but one of the most popular girls’ names (Charlotte). Boys’ names are slightly less vowel-heavy: They make up at least half of the letters in four of the 10 most popular boys’ names, but many of the rest are close, with just slightly fewer vowels than consonants. Part of the reason for this may be that, as my colleague Robinson Meyer has written, girls’ names have long been far more likely than boys’ names to end in a vowel sound that linguists call a schwa—an unstressed “a” at the end, as in Olivia (No. 2 for 2017) and Ava (No. 3). This gives girls’ names a competitive edge in vowel counts.

参考译文：

Boys’ names tend to be more consonant- heavy.
