​六级2015年12月仔细阅读P1（black people）

7. Hall's findings suggest there's an argument to be made for electing to use "African American," though one can't help but get the sense that it's a decision that papers over the urgency of continued progress. Perhaps a new phrase is needed, one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois’s original, idealistic hope: “It’s not the name—it’s the Thing that counts.” 

翻译：Hall的研究发现似乎在预示，我们需要针对选用“非洲裔美国人”这一称呼来进行一番讨论，尽管人们会禁不住认为这么做掩盖了称谓需要持续进步的紧迫性。可能我们需要一个新的称谓，这个称谓能让所有人都能更进一步理解Du Bois的最初的理想主义的希望：“称谓不重要，事物本身才重要”。

解析：Hall's findings suggest there's an argument to be made for electing to use "African American," though one can't help but get the sense that it's a decision that papers over the urgency of continued progress.本句主干为Hall's findings suggest...,suggest后为省略了that的宾语从句；though引导让步状语从句，其中嵌套一个由that引导的同位语从句，进一步解释说明sense。

词汇：

1) elect to do sth：选择，决定（做某事）

2) paper over 掩盖

3) urgency ['ɜːdʒənsi] n. 紧急(的事) 

4) idealistic [ˌaɪdiə'lɪstɪk] adj.理想主义的
