意大利前总理贝卢斯科尼周一去世，享年86岁。请看本报昨日的报道：

Italy’s longest-serving prime minister since World War II, Silvio Berlusconi had been readmitted to Milan’s San Raffaele hospital for a routine check-up Friday, just weeks after doctors revealed he had a rare type of leukemia. He died Monday aged 86, sources said. He will be given a state funeral today local time, which has been declared a day of national mourning.

Berlusconi was a media mogul and political showman whose financial and sexual scandals made him the most polarizing figure in modern Italy.

Known as “Il Cavaliere” (The Knight), among many other nicknames, he was admired and reviled in equal measure at home — but was mostly derided abroad.

报道中的in equal measure就是“同等程度地” 。例如：

Here we have a car that features electrical and mechanical engineering in equal measure.

这辆车在设计制造上电气系统和机械系统并重。
