上回我們?cè)敿?xì)的學(xué)習(xí)了an attack of 這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的發(fā)音。今天我們就來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的意思。要知道它的意思，我們將在下面對(duì)這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的中心詞attack的講解中您就會(huì)自然知道了。Attack意思即: 攻擊，進(jìn)攻，襲擊，侵襲and so on。我們可以說(shuō)是以“槍炮”攻擊，也可以是以“武力”攻擊，我們可以說(shuō)是以在唇槍舌戰(zhàn)中以“言語(yǔ)”攻擊，還可以說(shuō)是惡魔疾病的攻擊......。下面我們就一一來(lái)看。

Fist of all , it's used to express " an act of tying to hurt or kill somebody, using violence such as a knife". 意思是：(以刀等武力)傷害某人，殺死某人。Look at the following sentence: A gang of youths make an attack on that woman and robbed her. 那位婦女遭到了一伙年輕人的襲擊和搶劫。A gang of 是“一幫，一群，一伙”的意思，make an attack on somebody 意思是向某人進(jìn)攻。Please pay attention to the preposition "on" .

Secondly , "attack" can be used to express "an act of trying to kill or injure the enemy , using weapon in war". 意思是：(在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中以武器)進(jìn)攻，攻擊。Look at this sentence: At down the army launch an attack on the town. 軍隊(duì)在拂曉之時(shí)向這座城市發(fā)起了進(jìn)攻。Launch an attack on(upon) something 是“對(duì)(向)某物發(fā)起進(jìn)攻”的意思。我們還可以用make, mount, deliver等詞兒來(lái)表述“發(fā)起”之意。即：make an attack , mount an attack, deliver an attack. 要表述“對(duì)某物或者是某人發(fā)起進(jìn)攻”，介詞可以用on或者是against. Look at these two sentences: We made an attack on Japanese enemies at night yesterday. 我們?cè)谧蛲砩钜挂u擊了日本鬼子。The commander gave us an order that we must mount an attack against them at noon. 司令下了命令了，說(shuō)我們必須在中午對(duì)他們發(fā)起進(jìn)攻。 Look at this typical example sentence: The patrol came under attack from all sides. 巡邏隊(duì)遭到了四面八方的襲擊。Under attack是遭到襲擊的意思，它通常與come連用來(lái)表述這個(gè)意思，即：come under attack. 我們中文中說(shuō)的"四面八方"的英文表達(dá)就是“from all sides”。我們中國(guó)的古典民樂(lè)中有一首曲子叫做《十面埋伏》，則表述為：Ambush from All Sides 。西漢史學(xué)家•司馬遷《史記•項(xiàng)羽本紀(jì)》中有一句話(huà)：夜聞漢軍四面皆楚歌”。“四面楚歌”的英文表述則是：Beseiged From All Sides。

Thirdly，“attack”means " strong criticism of somebody or something in writing or speech". 意思是;用言語(yǔ)或者書(shū)面強(qiáng)烈地批評(píng)某人或某物，也就是中文中文學(xué)詞語(yǔ)”抨擊，非難”的意思。Look at the following sentences: The school has come under attack for failing to encourage bright pupil. 這所學(xué)校因?yàn)槲垂膭?lì)聰明的學(xué)生而受到非難。這個(gè)句子中，也是under attack與come連用表述“遭到非難，抨擊”的意思。They started an attack against each other with sharp words. 他們開(kāi)始用激烈的語(yǔ)言互相抨擊起來(lái)了。The public made an scathing attack on the goverment's policies. 民眾猛烈地抨擊政府的政策。
