 President Donald Trump's nomination¹ of conservative federal appeals court Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme² Court is likely to hinge on the votes of a handful of senators: three Republicans and two Democrats³.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普提名的保守派联邦上诉法院法官布雷特·卡瓦诺是否进入美国最高法院，很可能取决于少数参议员的投票：三名共和党参议员和两名民主党参议员。

On Thursday the Senate was reviewing an FBI report on allegations of misconduct by Kavanaugh that have jeopardized⁴ his selection for a lifetime seat on the nation's highest court.

周四，参议院正在审查联邦调查局的一份报告，报告称卡瓦诺的不当行为损害了他在美国最高法院的终身职位。

Reuters reports it was not immediately clear if the report, seen already by some Democrats as an inadequate⁵, would satisfy senators who have concerns about Kavanaugh's past, his character and temperament⁶.
