夏说英语新闻晨读 第22期:妹妹你大胆的往前走

 本期内容：

Japan’s Supreme¹ Court upheld a 19th-century law under which married couples must have the same legal surname. Women almost always take their husband’s names as a result—breaching constitutional guarantees of sexual equality, campaigners argued. The court said parliament should decide on new legislation. But it did strike down a law which prevents women remarrying within six months of divorce. 

词义解析:

Uphold: 维持……的判决

Breach：违反

Constitutional: 宪法的

Strike down: 废除

adj.极度的，最重要的；至高的，最高的
