二、英譯中：Translate the following passages into Chinese.（30 分） US President Barack Obama’s declaration of support for gay marriage may have promoted some US citizens, especially blacks and Hispanics, to reconsider their opposition to letting homosexuals wed, an analysis of Reuters/Ipsos online poll data showed on Friday. On May 9, Obama became the first US president to say he believed same-sex couples should be allowed to get married. The president’s position was hailed by Democrats, gay rights groups and others as a benchmark for civil rights in the US and criticized by Republican activists and conservative Christian leaders as a divisive campaign issue before the Nov. 6 election.
