这位保守派最高法院大法官在接受CBS新闻采访时称，他会在明年重新考虑这一问题。
The conservative Supreme Court justice said in a CBS News interview that he’ll revisit the issue next year.
阿利托大法官已证实自己正在考虑退休，这意味着他有可能在下个任期结束后离任，从而给唐纳德·特朗普总统再次提名大法官的机会。
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has confirmed that he is considering retirement, leaving open the possibility that he could leave after next year’s term and hand another nomination to President Donald Trump.
在周五公布的CBS新闻采访节选里，现年76岁的阿利托表示，他今年曾考虑过退休，2027年也会再次考虑此事。
Alito said in excerpts of a CBS News interview released Friday that he thought about retiring this year and will do so again in 2027.
“像我这个年纪的人，每个任期都必须认真思考这个问题，”原定于周一播出的采访中他这样说道，“不过我觉得自己仍能发挥重要作用，这也是我当初立志成为大法官和法官的初衷。”此次采访是阿利托为宣传介绍其司法理念的新书而安排的一系列公开活动中的第一场。此次表态也意味着，曾通过任命大法官推动最高法院走向右倾的特朗普，或许还有机会提名第四位最高法院大法官。
“It’s something that I think that somebody at my age has to think about every term,” the 76-year-old said in the interview scheduled to air Monday. “But I thought that I could still make a valuable contribution, which is why I became a justice and a judge in the first place.”Alito’s interview, the first in a number of expected appearances to coincide with the release of a book about his judicial philosophy, raises the possibility that Trump, whose judicial picks shifted the Supreme Court to the right, may get an opportunity to nominate a fourth justice.
