(单词翻译:双击或拖选)
在英文里,常用来表达“封杀”的有shut out、throw out、force out、ban,我们来分别看一下。
1. Shut out
Shut out 有“把……排除在外Exclude, deny entry to, block”的意思,演变为现在的流行语“封杀”,例如:
1. Anyone convicted of a crime is shut out from the legal profession.
有犯罪前科的人不能从事法律行业。
2. Right now one can generally confirm that domestic internet companies are uniting to shut out Gmail.
目前大体可以确认,国内的网络公司在联手封杀Gmail服务。
2. Throw out
Throw out 从字面上看,大家也不难猜出它的意思,就是“抛弃,扔掉,赶出”,总之就是一种“禁止”的意思,
例如:
1. We threw out her proposal.
我们拒绝了她的提议。
2. He was thrown out of the country club for failing to pay his dues.
他付不起会费,被乡村俱乐部除名了。
3. The bartender threw out the drunk.
男侍把醉汉赶了出去。
4. It's your play. The runner was thrown out in a close play.
该由你走了。赛跑者已被封杀出局。
3. Force out
Force out 最初指在体育的垒球运动中“封杀出局”:即当击球员成为跑垒员时,造成击跑员或前位跑垒员丧失跑垒的权利,而被封杀出局。现在这个词也用来指一般的“封杀”,例如:
High rents force out Veteran Clubs in New York City.
纽约城高昂的租金封杀了老兵俱乐部。
4. Ban
Ban也是用来表达“禁止”,也可以理解为“封杀”,比如:
The world's first ban on overly thin models at a top-level fashion show in Madrid has caused outrage1 among modeling agencies and raised the prospect2 of restrictions3 at other catwalk pageants4.
马德里高级时装秀首次封杀骨感模特,这一行为引起了模特经纪公司的愤怒,其他时尚秀也可能会出台类似禁令。
However, it has stopped short of following the lead of authorities in Italy and Spain by imposing5 a ban on the skinniest models.
然而,英国时装理事会并没有效仿意大利和西班牙的有关组织封杀过瘦模特的做法。
