问题 Although bound to impose the law, a judge is free to use his discretion to______ the anachronistic barbarity of some criminal penalties.

选项 A、mitigate
B、understand
C、condone
D、provoke

答案A

解析 A选项:mitigate的意思为“减轻,缓和”,如:Governments should endeavour to mirigate distress.(政府应努力缓解贫困问题。)句意:法官可以自行决定减轻那些不合时宜的野蛮刑罚。故选A。其他三项意思分别是:understand理解;condone容忍,宽恕;provoke挑衅,激怒。
