解析：1.hypocrisies 虚伪
2. inconsistencies 前后不一致，前后矛盾
3. mock 嘲笑
4. notably 特别是
参考译文：但是阿里也有虚伪的一面，至少是前后矛盾的一面。他说自己“为自己的种族而骄傲”，但却嘲笑其他非裔美国人的肤色、头发和体征，特别是嘲笑他的竞争对手与三次经典比赛中的对手乔•弗雷泽(Joe Frazier)。
今天的句子：
6. “We forgive Muhammad Ali his excesses,” an Ali biographer, Dave Kindred, wrote, “because we see in him the child in us, and if he is foolish or cruel, if he is arrogant, if he is outrageously in love with his reflection, we forgive him because we no more can condemn him than condemn a rainbow for dissolving into the dark. Rainbows are born of thunderstorms, and Muhammad Ali is both.”
注意：
这段文字可以作为写作中关于创新话题的语料，可以背诵：
The prime difference between innovators and others is one of approach. Everybody gets ideas, but innovators work consciously on theirs, and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise. What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions, professional innovators see as solid possibilities.
