Even before he took office, Mr. Moïse had to fight off accusations that, as a virtually unknown banana exporter, he was nothing but a handpicked puppet of the previous president, Michel J. Martelly. After more than four years in office, he was killed in his home at the age of 53. He left a wife and three children. In his last year in office, as protests against him grew and he declined to step down, he had to defend himself: “I am not a dictator,” he told The Times earlier this year. In interviews, Mr. Moïse often recounted how he had grown up on a large sugar plantation in a rural area of the country, and could relate to the vast majority of Haitians who live off the land. He ran a large produce cooperative that employed 3,000 farmers. But during his time in office, Mr. Moïse was widely accused of behaving like a strongman who tried to consolidate power. He was also accused of having used powerful violent gangs to suppress political opposition. Even his critics agree that Mr. Moïse used his power in office to try to end monopolies that offered lucrative contracts to the powerful elite. And that made him enemies. But others saw his crusade as hypocritical, because as he fought the oligarchs, he became one himself. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.dictator [dɪkˈteɪtə] n. ____________________________ 2.battle [ˈbætl] n. ____________________________ 3.accusation [ˌækjəˈzeɪʃn] n. ____________________________ 4.virtually [ˈvɜːtʃuəli] adv. ____________________________ 5.puppet [ˈpʌpɪt] n.____________________________ 6.leave somebody__________
